Unity Principle #3: Thoughts Held in Mind, Produce After Their Kind

In this episode, we continue our discussion of Unity’s Five Principles with Principle 3 which states: “Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking” The principle states that it is you who co-creates your experience(s)! That we are active participants in the creation process. If you’re like most, you’re probably thinking; How? By the activity of your thinking and believing, as the Principle states! The caveat that cannot be ignored is that we are not alone in the process. Mark 11:24 states, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mathew 21:22 states “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Notice that, in both passages, whether what you pray for “comes to be” or not, is contingent upon YOU! You are the determining factor! Is there any basis for this idea in science? Yes, there is as well! Quantum physics is essentially telling us that we live in an interactive universe (the observed is altered by the observer). Roman Catholic Priest and paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin put it this way: “The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.” To repeat my personal mantra: we have GOT TO change the way we see things! The time to start is now!
