The creation story is not something God does or did: It is what God is. It is a process within the Principle acting
on itself. Creativity is the God process
in you, expressing as you. The creation
is your story, the key to your creative genius.

What Is Unity?
By
Connie Fillmore Bazzy
It is fun to try to explain something that draws its existence from
God, because humankind has been trying to explain God for centuries,
and look how far we gotten with that!
"What is a religion but not a religion?" At
the time of its founding, Unity was not intended to be a new religion.
When my great-grandfather, Charles Fillmore, was working out the details
of this work in his mind, he set out to establish something that would
help all people, no matter what their religious beliefs. Even today,
many Unity students prefer to think of Unity not as a religion, but
as a way of life. The Unity teachings were drafted to be a help in
everyday life, and this is still their finest application. The teachings--and
we hope, materials we create based on the teachings--provide a path
to personal spiritual unfolding. They are available to and can be used
by anyone, no matter what his or her nationality, language, or religion.
"What honors individual difference while seeking universal similarity?" When Charles Fillmore's ideas about
spiritual reality were first incubating, he did not have a name to call them.
He just knew that he had a certain awareness about the nature of life and of
human beings. From studying the information about world religions that was
available to him, and from his own inner payer work, he came to see that there
is universal oneness. All aspects of life interact and support one another;
there is a "unity" of all things.
Meditation can lead to an overpowering
awareness that everything is part of the one Life, part of that great
Something we call God. However, just as precious is the awareness that
all parts of that one Life are necessary to it. So all our individual
differences--differences of color, gender, nationality, temperament,
language, age, likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, everything that
makes us the individuals we are--are absolutely necessary for the full
expression of God in our world. Our differences are meant to be savored
and honored just as fully as are our similarities. It takes all of
us to make up our world, and each of us is beloved of God. We are many,
and we are one.
