UNITY’S FORTH MAJOR PRINCIPLE:
Prayer and meditation are outstanding spiritual tools.
We believe that prayer and meditation are powerful tools that help us align our human consciousness with our spiritual consciousness. The more we use prayer and meditation, the more we
learn to listen to ourselves, to Spirit, and to God. The Divine Light Within us is always guiding us, but we have this uncanny ability to ignore it. Prayer and meditation help us
remember—remember who and what we are. They become vehicles for listening to the deepest parts of ourselves.
In John 14:16, Jesus promised that he would send the Allos Parakletos. That Greek phrase means “The Holy Spirit, the Divine Comforter.” It says that there is a Light within you that teaches you
all things and brings you the remembrance of your own perfection.
It is common to say that prayer is when we do the talking and meditation is when we listen. There may be some truth to that, although when we move inside and join in communion with God and The
Divine Spirit, it gets difficult to tell when we are praying and when we are meditating. Let’s just say that Unity believes in Affirmative Prayer. Affirmative Prayer is positive and encouraging.
We ask for the ability to see the truth behind appearances. When we meditate, we move into The Silence. The Stillness of Meditation brings us great comfort and at the same time restores and
refreshes us.
We invite you to Unity of Oroville for the opportunity to experience both prayer and meditation in delightful new ways. We know it changes your life.
