Simplify the Message

What is the most basic idea there is concerning the topic of spirituality? Jesus was asked a similar question when the Pharisees challenged him to narrow down the importance of the 620 plus Jewish laws. His response was, “Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Two commandments; one message: Love. These were not the words of Jesus, though; he was quoting Torah. The New Thought Movement, of which Unity is a part, in some sense has a similar idea for simplifying the spiritual message. For us it is all about Oneness. It is also about returning to the simplicity of the message of Jesus: love and forgiveness. Many who come into the Unity Movement do so because they have always had the feeling that all religions and all paths ultimately lead to the one source. In Unity we honor and draw from all paths to Spirit.
