- We believe in God, the Living Spirit
Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause.
This One manifests itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed
by its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the
logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of
God.
- We believe in the incarnation of
the Spirit in everyone and that all people are incarnations of the
One Spirit.
- We believe in the eternality, the
immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and
ever expanding.
- We believe that Heaven is within
us and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious
of it.
- We believe the ultimate goal of life
to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and
that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
- We believe in the unity of all life,
and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.
- We believe that God is personal to
all who feel this Indwelling Presence.
- We believe in the direct revelation
of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature of the individual,
and that any person may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close
contact with the indwelling God.
- We believe that the Universal Spirit,
which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law
of God; and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives
the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.
- We believe in the healing of the
sick through the power of this Mind.
- We believe in the control of conditions
through the power of this Mind.
- We believe in the eternal Goodness,
the eternal Loving-kindness, and eternal Givingness of Life to all.
- We believe in our own soul, our own
spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life of all
is God
