1 Keys to the Kingdom (Five Fundamentals of Truth) By Connie Fillmore President, Unity School of Christianity 1990

2 Principle Number 1 God is Absolute Good, Everywhere Present There is only one Presence and one There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good Omnipotent.

3 Principle Number 2 Human beings have a spark of Divinity within them. The Christ Spirit Within. Their very essence is of God and therefore they are inherently Good.

4 Principle Number 3 Human beings create their experience by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought We create our reality by our thoughts held in mind.

5 Principle Number 4 Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity and everything Good. Through affirmative prayer and meditation we connect with God and bring out the good in life.

6 Principle Number 5 Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live the Truth that he or she knows. Through thoughts, words and actions, we live in the Truth we know.

9 God is all God is the creator It has been said that the possibility of life originating by accident is comparable to the possibility of the unabridged dictionary originating from an explosion in a print shop

10 God is all God is Spirit God is Law God is Manifestation (It s all Energy at different rates of vibration.)

11 God is all Light vs Dark (Not God and something else)

12 God is all God is revealed to us on the level that we understand. If we think of God as a punishing, grim, vindictive God, that is how life comes back to us. I decided therefore, that I was going to elevate my vision and have the best God anyone could ever have. Connie Fillmore

13 God is all The older I get, the more I believe that finding some kind of spiritual understanding is a quality of life issue. Charles Fillmore

14 God is all Seek and search after God, and find him by means of his creations, because he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being Acts 17:27-28

15 God is all The best way to know the one, good God is to love the things that are in your life now and to recognize God s presence right where you are. Connie Fillmore

16 You are God As Spiritual Beings having a human experience we are never disconnected from Absolute Perfection. (BUT the Absolute is not always where we live as humans.)

17 You are God Jesus introduced a personal, paternal God he called Abba (Aramaic for Papa or Father God is all that I am, but I am not all that God is. (Like waves upon the ocean.)

18 You are God We are all connected, Spirit to Spirit And Soul to Soul.

20 You are God Jesus said to them, Is it not so written in your law I said, you are gods. John 10:34

21 You are God God created man in his own image. (Gen. 1:27) Thus, rather than be conceived in original sin, we are conceived in original virtue. God created everything that was and is, and saw that it was very Good. (Gen. 2:31) Connie Fillmore

22 You are God As a Child of God, I do not inherit sickness. Myrtle Fillmore

23 You are God It is good to remind ourselves that the acorn is no less a miracle than the tree. Connie Fillmore

24 You Co-create with God We speak our word and the Universe responds. Be careful with I am or I can t

27 You Co-create with God Unity teaches that the quality of your life (health, prosperity, relationships) is determined by the thoughts and feelings we choose to hold in mind. This is the Law of Mind Action.

28 You Co-create with God We have thought wrongly because we have been misinformed by these senses, and our troubles and sorrows are the results of our wrong thinking. Emily Cady

29 You Co-create with God He who believes in me shall do the works which I do, and even greater than these things shall he do. (John 14:12) The words that I speak, I do not speak of myself, but my Father who abides with me does these works. (John 12:10)

30 You Co-create with God Do not imitate the ways of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Rom. 12:2)

31 You Co-create with God It is the choices you make today that are creating the consciousness of your future. Charles Fillmore

32 You commune with God A regular effort to get in touch with God. This is what Unity is, less a statement of faith than a practice of faith. James Dillet Freeman

33 You commune with God Affirmative Prayer: We speak to God Meditation: We listen to God (It is through prayer that we lift our awareness of Truth. It is through meditation that we experience the Presence of God)

34 You commune with God DENIALS Relinquish old thoughts which impede our progress towards new ways of thinking. We do not deny the condition, but we do deny the condition has power over us or must continue.

35 You commune with God AFFIRMATIONS State in positive form what we know in our minds to be true. Pray without ceasing (1Thes. 5:17) Every thought, every feeling is a prayer.

36 You commune with God Our prayer is to change us, so that we may come to realize we are made in God s perfect image. James Dillet Freeman

40 You express God Therefore, whoever hears these words of mine and does them, he is like a wise man, who builds his house upon a rock. (Matt. 7:24)

41 You express God We stop telling God how big our problems are, and begin telling our problems how big God is. Go first to God, then to man as directed. Pray and move your feet.

42 You express God God, my life is your gift to me, and what I do with my life is my gift to you. Og Mandino

43 You express God Living the Truth is more about being then doing. It is how we show up for whatever we choose to do.

44 You express God We feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less without that drop. Mother Teresa Become the change you would like to see in the world. M. Gandi

45 You express God Jesus set us an example. He prayed often, but he moved his hands and feet in order that God could work freely and abundantly through him.
