The Five Principles
1) God is Absolute Good, everywhere present.
God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. Indeed, there is only one presence and one power in the universe!
2) We are spiritual beings, each one born with a spark of divinity.
Our very essence is of God, and therefore all are also inherently good.
3) We create all of our life experiences through the activity of our thinking with both mind and heart.
Everything in our world has its beginning in thought, and a big part of that is what we choose to think, feel and believe.
"what we believe" is not nearly as important as how we put our beliefs into practice.
4) There is power in affirmative prayer.
which we believe increases our understanding of our connection with God, Universal Spirit. Prayer, contemplation, and meditation bring forth wisdom, healing, prosperity and everything good.
5) Knowledge and understanding of these spiritual principles, the Laws of Life, are not enough.
We must also live by this Truth as we put principle into practice in our world. These principles build upon each other and provide us a pathway for living a spiritual life.
Perhaps the most powerful way to use these principles is to frame them as questions in a checklist.
