|
| 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 envision the emergence
of the Global Heart to balance and guide the further evolution
of humanity. |
| |
|
| We believe
in the incarnation of the Spirit in everyone and that all
people are incarnations of the One Spirit. |
We see a world free of
homelessness, violence, war, hunger, separation and disenfranchisement.
|
| |
|
| We believe
in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of
the individual soul, forever and ever expanding. |
We see a world in which
there is generous and continuous sharing of heart and resources...
|
| |
|
| We believe
that Heaven is within us and that we experience it to the
degree that we become conscious of it. |
...a world in which forgiveness,
whether for errors, injustices, or debts, is the norm...
|
| |
|
| 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. |
...a world which has
renewed its emphasis on beauty, nature and love through
a resurgence of creativity, art, and aesthetics... |
| |
|
| We believe
in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the
innermost God is one God. |
...a world in which fellowship
prospers and connects through the guidance of spiritual
wisdom and experience... |
| We believe
that God is personal to all who feel this Indwelling Presence.
|
...a world in which we
live and grow as One Human Family. |
| |
|
| 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 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 envision UCRS/UCSL
as a bridge across the illness and illusion of separation,
thereby dynamically empowering the vision of Global Heart.
|
| |
|
| We believe
in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and
the eternal Givingness of Life to all. |
UCRS/UCSL is a global
community of people pervasively caring for and about each
other and the entire human family, thereby bringing the
gift of active compassion to the world. Our local churches
and communities become points of inspiration and influence,
effectively advancing the vision of Global Heart. |
| |
|
| We believe
in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny, for
we understand that the life of all is God. |
