DivineUnity Affirms

1. We affirm that there is one Energy, Universal Consciousness, Transcendent Cause, Being/Beingness, Love, Buddha Nature, which may also be called God/Goddess whose embrace is both universal and individual. That as we realize our DivineUnity with this energy we embody Compassion, Goodness, Wisdom, Love, Justice, Mercy, Truth, Power, Peace, Plenty and Joy.

2. We affirm that the universe is the unfoldment of this DivineUnity and as such may be described as the Body of the Divine, that Energy/Spirit which manifests itself in and through all Creation and beyond what we can conceive.

3. We affirm that we are One with the Divine. We are Sparks of the Eternal, Rays of the Great Spirit. Each of us can embody the love and wisdom of the Great Masters and that we are all on a journey toward realizing our divine nature.

4. We affirm that there are many paths, wisdom traditions and faiths that lead to Spiritual Truth and help us on our journey. We honor all love based and compassionate teachings from all such sources and we affirm the freedom of each person in matters of belief.

5. We affirm that our personal journeys require inner work - the inner work of learning to love one another, of learning to be completely alive, and of learning to appreciate the wonder in all things.

6. We affirm that our journeys require outer work - the outer work of taking responsibility for and living in harmony with our own physical bodies, our environment and our planet at large. We affirm that we co-create this world and our spiritual temples therein.

14. We affirm that Spirit abides in us always and that we abide in Spirit always, continuing and unfolding as spiritual beings beyond the challenge called physical death.

15. We affirm our creative powers and gather together to create a spiritual service composed of the morning's wonder, the day's miracle, the week's insight and the moment's shift of perception.

16. We affirm that each of our unique truths captures one of the facets of being and is due our attention, acceptance and understanding and we value their expression. Our DivineUnity service forms a circle of sharing in honor of this affirmation.

17. We affirm that we are each both teacher and student of spirit, and that by sharing the events and insights of our spiritual journeys we minister to each other.
