An explanation of the Unity minister Ed. Townley
PASSAGE: "But Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.' Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Why do you cry out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward. But you lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it" (Exodus 14:13-16).
COMMENT:
I think there are two important metaphysical lessons crammed into this brief, decisive moment in the history of the Hebrew people. The first comes from Moses, the second from the Lord. "Stand firm ... the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again." Whatever the “Egyptians” may represent in our own consciousness—fears, resentments, thoughts of lack and limitation—we could well spend our whole lives running from them, trying to escape them, constantly looking over our shoulders to see it they're gaining on us. We will be constantly exhausted, and totally unable to pause long enough to appreciate the blessings that would be available if we just stopped running.
But we don't have to do that. If we choose instead not to run, to stand our ground, then the Lord of our being—the Christ Presence that is our true identity—can dissolve those thoughts—those Egyptians—so that we can move forward free of their negative energy. But simply standing firm isn't enough, as the Lord immediately reminds Moses. It's brave to stand and trust that God will save the day. But, as Unity minister Eric Butterworth wrote, God can only do for us what God can do through us. So here, once Moses has assured the people that God will provide, the Lord—his own inner guidance, his connectedness to Divine Mind—says, "Why do you cry out to me? ... Lift up your staff!" We always have the means at hand to solve any challenge; the Power of God is not withholding anything from us. The Power of God will part the Red Sea, but Moses has to 'lift up his staff' to allow it to happen.
The same is true for us. When facing a challenge, our first thought should be “the Power of God in me can easily dissolve this challenge.” And our second thought should be, How can I lift my staff to allow God to work through me? Blessings!Rev. Ed

Unity Church and the Serpent of Eden
Here beneath I share part of the wisdom of ¨Mysteries of Genesis¨written by Charles Fillmore
There are two ways of living open to man. One is Satan's way: through experience of evil man gains by contrast a concept of good. The other is God's way: through consciousness of good, man sees that evil is unreal and unnecessary. Every man and woman in the world is following one or the other of these two courses in the development of his individuality. Good and evil seem to be pitted against each other in the world, but it is not necessary for man to eat of the tree of good and evil; he need not have a knowledge of evil in order to realize the allness of good. If he follows God's way, which is to know the good first, last, and always, his mind will become so charged with good that evil will be to him totally unreal.
You will find men on every side meeting temptation in God's way, by knowing the good, affirming the good, and living it according to their faith in God. I know men who have never taken a drink of whiskey. They have not found it necessary to become intoxicated in order to experience the feeling of sobriety. They have better dominion over their appetites than those who have given up to Satan's way of experience. There are men in the world who are living a pure life. They know the joy of purity in the sex dominion. They have proved that dominion over sex, under the guidance of Spirit, is a necessary part of the regeneration taught by Jesus. "For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake."
Gen. 3:1-5.
"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil."
The serpent is sense consciousness. It may also be called desire, sensation, or the activity of life in external manifestation apart from the divine source of life. "Woman" represents love or feeling in the individual consciousness and symbolizes the soul. Desire for sensation or activity in the external first tempts the soul, the center of feeling and emotion. The temptation of sense is at first very subtle, entering the consciousness to stir up doubt and slyly asking the question "Why not?" From the center of one's being the life-giving, ever-bearing tree of the Spirit of God spreads its branches into every department of mind and body. Its fruits are intelligence to the mind, substance to the body, and life to the entire being. The warning given by Jehovah
God was that man should not eat of (appropriate) the fruit of this tree. In spiritual revelation we discern that man's cardinal mistake is to appropriate the pure essence of God in order to experience selfish sensuous pleasure.
The serpent is slyly suggesting to the soul that it indulge in the pleasures of sense and that the experience will result in a deeper understanding of God and His laws. The individual can always find arguments that to his own mind justify indulgence. This tendency may be described as sensation beguiling man from his Garden of Eden consciousness.
Gen. 3:6-7.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Woman, the intuitive or feeling side of man's nature, discerns that activity in ideas begets knowledge, but the knowledge gained is not necessarily of a divine nature. Love or feeling (woman) acting independently of wisdom (man) is not reliable. The "eyes" are the perceptive faculty of mind, and unless the perception is established in Truth one sees or perceives duality. When one delights in knowledge that is less than Truth, one's capacity to receive inspiration direct from Divine Mind is lessened or lost. Both love (woman) and wisdom (man) become involved in a counterfeit knowledge through "eating" ideas inappropriate to the divine nature.
In the Scriptures figs are representative of the "seed" of man. This seed is in its original essence mind energy, and when ideas are kept in contact with Divine Mind, the seed of man is the life stream in its original purity. Man's sin is the misappropriation of ideas, which leads to sensation. When man and woman are joined--that is, one in sin--they are unclothed of the garment of Truth or "naked."
When wisdom and love, man and woman, are joined in the consciousness that God inspires all their thoughts and acts, the gross sensations of the flesh will be "lifted up," that is, glorified. "I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself." This is the "holy marriage."
Gen. 3:8-12.
And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden. And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
The "cool of the day" represents the relaxation or emptiness that follows sense expression. After the high tide of sensation has subsided, the voice of Jehovah God, commonly called conscience, is heard. Man is convinced that he has acted out of harmony with divine law. After experiencing sensation the picture visualized by the conscious mind is impressed on the life stream and sets up a subconscious tendency. Consciousness would hide from facing this situation, taking refuge amongst the "trees of the garden" (other sensations), but this is not the way to redemption. Every idea is to be dealt with. All error is forgiven when Truth is brought to bear on it, and if this method is pursued, only constructive thought habits will be put into activity in the subconscious realm of mind.
Jehovah God walks continually in the garden (the body) calling unto Adam (life), and when man raises his thoughts and feelings Godward, he contacts the inspiration of Being and builds again the immortal consciousness.
The soul or "woman" is the feminine aspect of man. It is through the affections (love) that man becomes involved in sensation. When a desire of the soul (woman) presses for attention, man often gives way to his feelings instead of raising them, through wisdom, to conform to higher principles.
In Truth feeling must be disciplined and refined and desire for sense pleasure eliminated. When consciousness is purified through the knowledge of Truth and thought force is established in harmonious relation to divine ideas, the woman (feeling) will be joined with man (wisdom) and the holy marriage (generation of divine ideas) will again be consummated. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh," writes the author of Genesis, and Jesus verifies it in Matthew 19:5: "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh." Indescribable joy is the heritage of those who submit their sex relations to God in prayer.
Gen. 3:13-14.
And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Man, ever seeking an excuse for sin, puts the blame on God for endowing him with sensation. Sensation is itself a divine creation, and all God's creation was pronounced "good." This brings us to the root cause of the appetite that craves stimulants and goes to excess in seeking satisfaction. Through listening to the serpent of sense, man goes beyond the limit set by natural or divine law and becomes a glutton and drunkard of sensation. The remedy is for him to take up the problem from a spiritual standpoint in the knowledge that sensation is a mental quality that can be satisfied only by his cultivating the spiritual side of his nature.
When the desire for sensation leads man to dissipate the precious fruit of the tree of life in his earthly garden, the whole nervous system is depleted and loses its capacity to contact the higher life current and supermind wisdom. Then man feels a lack of something; he is "naked." Sensation is no longer a heavenly ecstasy but a fleshly vibration, and crawls on its "belly," eating "dust" all the days of its life.
We often wonder why God cursed the serpent since He created him for the very purpose of enabling man to have sensation. The author of Genesis discerned that certain principles were in operation; that when the creative life which Jehovah God breathed into man's nostrils was taken away, there would be a fall from divine union and man would have to suffer certain conditions that would follow. So the curse was not imposed directly by Jehovah but as a result of man's breaking certain laws.
Gen. 3:15-19.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
The seed of the woman is from God; it is the spiritual life that comes from the fountainhead. The seed of the serpent is fallen sense consciousness, and there is enmity between the two. The effect, as set forth in the text describing the suffering common to most women, needs no metaphysical interpretation. The interpretation usually given is that the "seed" that bruised the head of the serpent was Jesus. But these verses were written long before the time of Jesus, so they must refer to certain principles. The heel represents the activity of the will in the body. When one is willful the tendency is to force the heel into the ground. When you do that you are determined.
When you make up your mind that you are not going to be governed by your sensations, you plunge the whole man into spiritual consciousness, through which you are protected from sense. All through the account of the fall of man are found these promises of redemption, implications that man has within him a saving consciousness.
The story of Eve symbolizes the truth that instead of bringing forth ideas in the realm of supersubstance, the feminine is compelled to clothe its ideas with flesh and bring them forth in the earthly consciousness.
Having lost consciousness of God as its guiding light, the soul turns to its highest concept of wisdom, the intellect (husband). The intellect, having lost contact with its inner light, is no longer possessed of the ability to ideate direct from God, and man is forced to cultivate the ground and toil physically.
Jesus demonstrated man's spiritual ability when, direct from the ether as a substance base, He produced the fishes and loaves to feed more than five thousand persons.

AGUACATE , EL ALIMENTO MAS PERFECTO
AGUACATE ó PALTA
Sabía usted que:. . . el aguacate (palta), ha sido llamado el alimento más perfecto del mundo? Se ha logrado esta distinción porque muchos nutricionistas afirman que no sólo contiene todo lo que una persona necesita para sobrevivir; pero también se ha encontrado que contribuye a la prevención y control de la enfermedad como Alzheimer, cáncer, enfermedades cardíacas, diabetes y otras condiciones de salud. El aguacate (Persea gratissima o P. americana) se originó en Puebla, México y su uso más antiguo se remonta a 10.000 años AC. Desde el año 900, el árbol de aguacate se ha cultivado y cultiva en América Central y del Sur. En el siglo 19, el aguacate hizo su entrada en California, y se ha convertido en un cultivo comercial muy exitoso. Noventa y cinco por ciento (95%) de los aguacates producidos en los EE.UU. crecen en el sur de California.
El aguacate, tiene un alto contenido de fibra, sodio, y libre de colesterol, alimento que proporciona cerca de 20 nutrientes esenciales, incluyendo la fibra. Es rico en grasas saludables monoinsaturadas y poliinsaturadas (como los ácidos grasos omega 3), vitaminas A, C, D, E K, y vitaminas del complejo B (tiamina, riboflavina, niacina, ácido pantoténico, biotina, vitamina B-6, vitamina B-12 y ácido fólico), así como el potasio.
Los alimentos naturalmente ricos en ácidos grasos omega 3, como el aguacate, son ampliamente reconocidos como el secreto para tener un corazón sano, un cerebro brillante y ojos de águila. Dr. Daniel G. Amen, un neurocientífico clínico, psiquiatra, experto en creación de imágenes del cerebro y autor del bestseller del New York Times, "Cambia tu Cerebro, Cambia tu Vida" incluye al aguacate como uno de los alimentos más importantes que puede ayudar a prevenir la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Eso no sólo a causa del contenido en ácidos grasos omega-3 del aguacate, sino también su ... ==>Contenido de vitamina E - Revista internacional llamada Alzheimer 's de Enfermedades y Trastornos Asociados , presentó sus conclusiones de años de ensayos clínicos - las dosis elevadas de vitamina E pueden neutralizar los radicales libres y la acumulación de proteínas para revertir la pérdida de memoria en los pacientes de Alzhéimer; contrarrestar los síntomas del Alzheimer en las etapas temprana y retrasar la progresión de la enfermedad; ==>
Contenido de folato - ayuda a prevenir la formación de las fibras nerviosas enredadas asociados con la enfermedad de Alzheimer.Las virtudes del aguacate son demasiado numerosas para mencionarlas, pero aquí señalamos algunos cuantos beneficios para la salud que su perfil nutricional proporciona: * Las grasas monoinsaturadas - Estos tipos de grasas ayudan a controlar los triglicéridos en la sangre, disminuir el colesterol en la sangre y controlar la diabetes. ·
El folato - Esta vitamina B soluble en agua-promueve el desarrollo saludable de las células y tejidos. Según el "Instituto Nacional de la Oficina de Salud de los Suplementos Dietéticos", "Esto es especialmente importante durante los períodos de rápida división celular y el crecimiento como en la infancia y el embarazo. El folato es también esencial para el metabolismo de la homocisteína y ayuda a mantener niveles normales de este aminoácido. "* Luteína - Este es un carotinoide (pigmento natural) que protege contra las cataratas y ciertos tipos de cáncer, y reduce el riesgo de degeneración macular, la principal causa de ceguera en adultos de 65 años de edad y mayores.
Los aguacates contienen tres veces o más luteína que en otras verduras y frutas comunes. • Ácido oleico y Potasio - Ambos nutrientes también ayudan a reducir el colesterol y reducir el riesgo de presión arterial alta.

The relaxation factor and the signal and noice response
THE RELAXATION FACTOR AND THE SIGNAL AND NOISE-RESPONSE
”To enter the silence means leaving outer and inner places of noise,!!!!
It’s very hard for the mind to be silent. In fact, the mind exists just because there are thoughts and more thoughts. The mass considers this, as mindfulness while it’s not, its mental noise.That’s why the mass is not interested in relaxation-techniques and meditation,
As one relaxes with the awareness gently focused on present experience–guided by a psychiatrist or Teacher of meditation- sensitivity increases and attempts to manage the experience slowly and will yield to the acceptance of the healing energies. Through relaxation thus one enters into the sensitivity-cycle. The barrier to enter the sensitivity-cycle is the attachment to noise. Noise includes distraction maneuvers, wrong insight and interpretation; fear to follow on, not opening up for other opinions etc.
Relaxation
The relaxation is effected by different techniques:. I prefer three of these techniques:A)guided relaxation, B) laying on of hands and C) the Inner Child technique.
A) Guided relaxation technique
This technique consists of having each person concentrate on the different body parts.
B) Laying on of hands. The person lies or sits and experience the human touch of caring love
C) The Inner Child technique is to enter in fixed places of moise in the subconscious mind of the person in need.
The process of relaxation
First there’s a place when one relaxes, where one drops external concerns and allow the mind and body to reorient. This stage is completion of one thing and opening up to what’s next, allowing the next thing that wants to happen to come into consciousness. This step is characterized by passiveness and is an opening up for the physical, emotional and mental needs.For example say, you were working the whole day. You stop, relax and realize that you’re hungry as hell or that you feel alone. To avoid this signal means that you prefer the noise of avoidance and distraction than the clear signal.If one accepts the signal, which emerged, then one comes to some form of insight, perhaps after a lot of emotional struggle and confusion.Staying thus with the primordial signal of hunger one comes to the insight “I will eat a tuna-fish” or with the sense of loneness one decides “I must go to a happy hour”. The habits that avoid one to gather the right information to come to clarity are called “insight barriers”,When helping someone with any problem -concentration problem, social interaction-problem, physical and psychic problem etc. - it’s very important to increase the ratio of the signal sent out by the body or mind through lowering the noise-factor.A technical definition of signal is the necessary message or information.A technical definition of noise is whatever distorts, prevents, interferes with or changes the signal down to the point where the signal might not be localized or received at all.The process of the “signal to noise ratio” is handled by different techniques but the basic technique is the relaxation-technique.
The basic Law of Relaxation: With a minimum of effort, a maximum of result. Relaxation is a way to decrease the noise-level to zero.Less noise, more sensitivity.Less noise, more awareness.
This technique is given after that the person has experienced how easy it is to transfer the mind from noise to silence. The Transpersonal School of Psychology of California divides initially our personality in different aspects: a) The child in us b) The adult in us c) The parent in us. Afterwards other streams of thought came to the next and more complete distinction: a) The child in us b) The adult in us c) The Higher Self in us.
The child-aspect is the aspect in us which is guided by instincts of survival.It reveals itself at the moment we ask for /demand love, if we ask for and demand care, guidance, responsibility and respect.
The adult-aspect is the aspect in us which was developed through all those who have nurtured us by guidance, love etc. It is active when we are ready to give love, care, guidance, responsibility and respect. The love, guidance, responsibility is in a process of different degrees of conditional love.
The Higher Self, the Divine aspect in us, is the realm of unconditional love. This manifests itself as unconditional and pure love, abundant wisdom and devotion for all which lives.
Different aspects of the Inner Child
The Child aspect in us can be divided in:
1.the neglected child. This aspect is created through not receiving loving attention due to malevolent parents, due to death of both or one of the parents or due to tensions at home.
2. The wounded child. This aspect is formed by all the negative experiences such as punishment bad words and illness.
3. The playful child. This is the humoristic side in us which is appreciated or not by others. During periods of crises the neglected and wounded child in us manifest very strong in us. Hidden and suppressed resistances, emotions of hate and pain will then be expressed as rebellion, intolerance and victim-consciousness.
How these three aspects can be transformed through the adult or Higher Self?
1. Trough radiating towards others those aspects which were not developed well in yourself. Instead of staying on the level of the child, you should transfer your consciousness towards the adult-aspect in you so to give love, attention and responsibility to the child level in the other in stead of demanding those aspects of the other.
2. Trough invoking with the aid of a well trained person those child aspects in you through Reiki-treatment and/or an Inner Child-treatment..
Some remarkable statements how noise was/is created or sustained:
•“The way I treat my Inner Child is the way I am going to treat my outer child”-Robert M. Stein
•“What has been spoiled by a father can only be made good by a father just as what has been spoiled by the mother can only be repaired by the mother” Carl G.Jung
•“What has been spoiled by a man can only be made good by a man just as what has been spoiled by a woman can only be repaired by a woman” C.G.Jung
•“The child picks up only the unresolved conflicts of the parents”. C.G.Jung
•“In order to understand your own childhood, it is important to know what the house whispered when you were a child or what it continues to whisper.” Susanne Short
•It is also very important to realize that we are creating the situations around us according to our own thoughts and emotions. Negative thoughts and emotions can never create a positive world.
•After hearing the story of the client, the workshop-leader should go on with contacting the person and not the story
.•Those who had a difficult birth has problems with taking decisions; those who came straight out of the matrix, take strong decisions; those who were born premature are pro-active; those who were born though caesarian incision are afraid of a confrontation.”. Marion Woodman, a Jungian analyst

”To enter the silence means leaving outer and inner places of noise,!!!!
It’s very hard for the mind to be silent. In fact, the mind exists just because there are thoughts and more thoughts. The mass considers this, as mindfulness while it’s not, its mental noise.That’s why the mass is not interested in relaxation-techniques and meditation,
As one relaxes with the awareness gently focused on present experience–guided by a psychiatrist or Teacher of meditation- sensitivity increases and attempts to manage the experience slowly and will yield to the acceptance of the healing energies. Through relaxation thus one enters into the sensitivity-cycle. The barrier to enter the sensitivity-cycle is the attachment to noise. Noise includes distraction maneuvers, wrong insight and interpretation; fear to follow on, not opening up for other opinions etc.

Guided Relaxation The purpose of the guided relaxation is that the client will perform afterwards on a regular base the techniques given. If you never have been in a guided relaxation or guided meditation session, try it out. It can be through a teacher physically present or through a casett or cd. Its much more fruitful then you doing it on your own.

THE BELIEFSYSTEM OF ATHEISTS AND NON-ATHEISTS
Before I can proceed I must set definition for the terms atheist and non-atheist.
An Atheist don't believe in a supernatural being or a group of supernatural beings who has a plan for humanity.The atheists consider that there is no higher being in creation then man.
A non- atheist or better said a theist (theos= god) believes in a supernatural being or a group of supernatural beings who has a plan for humanity and is rewarding and punishing thouse who are not cooperating with the Divine plan.
God is most of the time a name given to a power or complex of powers which surpasses our understanding. Some of the theists consider that the power is within and other theists consider that this power is beyond the physical universe. Through these powers different persons have got tremendous results: healing of diseases which scientists declared that they are incurable . others got creative ideas though which they got rich etc.
But there is a group consisting of million men and woman who cannot be placed neither in the group of theists or atheists, because they have characteristics of both groups. These ones believe in a power which is within and without which can be reached through the theistic way by prayer of adoration and also through the non-theistic way by going into the silence and get contact with the energyfield beyond the energy of atoms, electrons, photrons, neutrons etc. This field is called in Transcendental Meditation the Unified Field. It's good to know that the word meditation has a complete other description when practiced by theists or by non-theistic ones. They have not certain strange beliefs that theists carry around.*
The new era in science begun by Carl Gustav Jung and Einstein and they were followed by Fridjof Copra and Deepak Chopra. These great thinkers could have united the group of atheists and theists if ignorance and fanaticism could have been erased in each of these groups. Those antagonistic groups would have understood that the energy beyond all energies is called God by the one side and at the other side it's called Nature.
The Energy beyond all already known energies cannot be erased by no one and till now no one-neither those who call this energy God and nor those who call it Nature- has got to know this Energy completely. And we are part of this energy, called God or Nature. What's in a name!
In the third edition of “Tao of Physics” Fridjof Copra distinguished 6 paradigms which are now used by scientists.
a. The ancient paradigm of Democritus which was further developed by Descartes and Newton was based on the study based ofthe different parts of a unity. Those scientists of the past could not imagine the dynamics of the wholeness on the parts. The change came after the quantum energy was revealed to the minds of men. (This was not revealed by God, no. It was revealed when men could have a jump in consciousness and come to an enlightment about the unity of all. Plato called the source of inspiration, the Plane of Ideas)
b. The second paradigm came after putting emphasis on the process and not on the structure. We call this the theory of relativity.
c. The third paradigm is that you cannot separate the observer from the process of observation. The observer influences by his thoughts processes of observation, for example some seeing light sometimes as a stream of electrons and sometimes as a wave.
d. The fourth paradigma within the new development in science is, that you must see all as a network and not as a primal force, secondary force and so on. This was based on different observations, for example the fact of observing that neutrons can become neutrons, photrons or electrons or vice versa.
e. The fifth paradigm is that scientist has come to the conclusion that you cannot explain all with the reason.
f.The paradigm of controlling nature is changed more and more into the one of cooperaration and synchronizing with nature.
* But there is another problem about Godconcepts. The same persons who describe God as the source of Love, describe him as one who punishes and rewards. The same ones who consider God as an eternal being, consider that he is doing something now and somemething tomorrow. In short they are talking about a God who is captivated in time and space.
**And then they cross the line of all good understanding saying that the all-loving God has sent his son to be crucified so that all men can be saved. I don't believe in such a God. Neither do I consider that God needs a being called devil who has to test people on their readiness to be in heaven. Jesus was crucified not for our sins, but through our sins.
***I believe in evil as something created by men during the many aeons of creation and part of that evil is the way many religions describe the Eternal One.
So with this long story , I wanted to say 1. theists and atheists are giving just different names to the same energy and 2. never any of them will understand the workings of that energy if not through synchronization, resonance with that energy 3. Perhaps we have the need to give this all present and all-pervading energy a name, but the Energy will stay the same energy with whatsoever name you label it.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN UNITY
What We Believe in Unity
God
God is Spirit, the loving source of all that is. God is the one power, all good, everywhere present, all wisdom. God is divine energy, continually creating, expressing and sustaining all creation. In God, we live and move and have our being. In Unity, some other ways we speak of God are Life, Light, Love, Substance, Principle, Law and Universal Mind.
Jesus
We believe that Jesus expressed his divine potential and sought to show humankind how to express ours as well. We see Jesus as a master teacher of universal truths and as our Way Shower. In Unity, we use the term Christ to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus is the great example of the Christ in expression.
The Nature of Humankind
We are each individual, eternal expressions of God. Our essential nature is divine and therefore inherently good. Our purpose is to express our divine potential as realized and demonstrated by Jesus and other master teachers. The more we awaken to our divine nature, the more fully God expresses in and through our lives.
The Bible
Unity founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore studied the Bible as history and allegory and interpreted it as a metaphysical representation of humankind's evolutionary journey toward spiritual awakening. In addition, Unity recognizes that the Bible is a complex collection of writings compiled over many centuries. We honor the writings as reflecting the understanding and inspiration of the writers at the time they were written. The Bible continues to be a valuable spiritual resource for us.
Our Teachings
Unity teaches that each person is a unique expression of God created with sacred worth. Living from that awareness transforms our lives and the world. Unity emphasizes the creative power of thought in our life experience. We refer to this as the Law of Mind Action. When we take personal responsibility to choose life-affirming thoughts, words and actions, we experience a more fulfilling and abundant life. Unity emphasizes the importance of applying spiritual principles in our daily lives. Unity teachings continue to evolve as we identify, embrace and apply spiritual insights and the spiritual implications of new discoveries.
Prayer and Meditation
Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought. It includes the release of counterproductive, negative thoughts, as well as holding in mind statements of spiritual truth. Through meditation, we experience the presence of God. Prayer and meditation heighten our awareness and thereby transform our lives.
Youth and Family Ministry
Unity recognizes that there are many expressions of family life. All are welcome. Unity creates an affirming environment that fosters positive self-image, personal responsibility and unconditional love and acceptance.
Unity:
Beholds all children as whole and perfect expressions of God.
Empowers children to fulfill their divine potential.
Teaches children to meditate and pray.
Invites children to experience a loving God.
Unity provides a strong spiritual foundation for children's lives.Spiritual Action In Unity, we feel a sacred responsibility, individually and collectively, to make a positive difference through personal example and active service in our churches, our communities and our world.

RELAXATION/ RELAHASHON
RELAHASHON
Esaki ta dediká na tur esnan ku a pidimi pa skirbi algu tokante di relahashon. Tin di nan a hasi kurso di Metafísika serka mi òf hatha yoga, Reiki i "Inner Child".
Kada momentu ku Bo ta sinti kansa Bo ta buska un momentu di hasi nada (tira un kabes/ bai lèg/ bai drumi) den kaso di kansansio físiko òf un momentu pa hasi un kos totalmente diferente den kaso di kansansio mental.
Nos ta satisfecho ku e solushonnan ei te ku nos ripará ku nos ta sigui sinti kansansio ounke nos a apliká mas seshon di no hasi nada òf hasi sierto kos ku pa basta tempu nos no a hasi p.e. bai landa, bai kana ètc. Hasta nos ta yega na e konklushon ku den e momentunan di no hasi nada en realidat nos a keda prokupá tokante di tur sorto di kos. I alfin nos ta bin komprondé :Mi no ta relahá bon. Mi no ta aplikando un relahashon berdadero òf kompletu.
I ehèmpelnan di personanan ku a haña atake di kurason òf di serebro dor di a rabiá i kai den depreshon a alertá nos i ta hiba nos na e desishon di buska mas aleu. Nos ta kuminsá sigui kurso di relahashon òf di hatha yoga (e yoga ku ta pone enfasis riba ehersisio korporal i di respirashon).
Pa tur esunnan ku a pidi mi pa skirbi algu di relahashon, mi ke sugeri lo siguiente:
-Buska un luga trankilu
- I un momentu ku ningun hende no por stroba Bo.
-Pone musika di New Age (tin yen ku Bo por baha for di Internet)
-Sinta riba un stul òf bai drumi riba flur riba un kléchi òf sèrbètè.
Hala rosea profundu 3 bes.
-Laga Bo pensamentunan ta dirigí riba Bo kurpa.
-Despues sirigí Bo pensamentu pa mas o menos un minüt riba diferente parti di Bo kurpa: Bo dos pianan(voeten); Bo ènkelnan; e parti di Bo pia entre ènkel i rudia; Bo rudianan; Bo 2 bèlnan di pia; Bo barika; Bo partinan seksual; Bo stoma i tripanan (Bo sa ku e tripanan por ta entre 6 te 9 meter?); Bo higra na banda drechi ku e galblas bou di dje; Bo pankreas i Bo milt klier; Bo nirnan; Bo diafragma; Bo pulmonnan; Bo kurason; Bo skoudernan; glij bai ku Bo atenshon via kada un di e brasanan na Bo mannan; Bo pòlsnan; e parti entre pòls i kokoti; Bo brasa parti ariba; atrobe Bo skoudernan pa algun sekònde; glij bai na parti abou di Bo lomba te e parti di sinta; i bin poko poko ariba konsiderando ku Bo lomba tin masha muskulo mes pa deskansá, no lubidá e kolumna vertebral; Bo garganta ku tantu e esofago ku ta bai na Bo stoma i Bo tubo di hala rosea; Bo kabes pa algun sekònde i despues e partinan di kabes: e boka ku lenga, djente, paladar; e nanishi, e oreanan, e wowonan, Bo serebro.
Gosa di e silensio mental (porfin e boroto mental di yen preokupashon a disparsé) pa algun minüt i abri Bo wowonan.
Esaki no ta un huida for di responsabilidatnan, pero un teknika pa despues por kumpli mihó ku nan. Relahashon ta sirbi pa:
-sosegá i drumi mihó
-sosegá i drumi mihó
-pa dominá e emoshonnan i pashonnan
-pa hasi mihó kontakto ku e presensia di Dios den Bo (e ta por sierto un "sine qua non" pa haña kontakto ku Dios)
-pa hasi mihó kontakto ku e presensia di Dios den Bo (e ta por sierto un "sine qua non" pa haña kontakto ku Dios)
-pa kreá un ekilibrio sikologiko
Ku aparatonan "bio feedback' Bo por aberiguá si Bo ta relahá bon.
Relahashon por keda fortifiká pa medio di visualisashon, pero e tema di visualisashon meresé un pagina apart.
Promé mi finalisá mi mester bisa ku tin un gran diferensia entre preokupá tokante di kosnan i planeá;:esun ta boroto mental i e otro ta imaginashon kreativo.
