New Thought Beliefs

Divine Unity affirms, believes in and stands firmly upon the foundations that the UDHR has implemented round our world today. The UDHR is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These basic human rights were recognized as the innate human rights that we are all given upon birth regardless of where we are born, grow, learn, in any land, under any flag. We are born into this world with these rights and they are universally conferred upon every person, every citizen in every country as mutually and unanimously agreed upon in 1948 through the United Nations.

Today throughout the world people are seeing the higher vision of humanity. It is a vision which is not governed by the greed of the past. It is a vision which celebrates compassionate action and shared responsibility for our world. Of course, we still see instances around the globe in which greed is manifesting and resulting in the destruction of vital resources that truly belong to all people and all life. We see a push in some quarters to commodify all resources including water and the human genome. Recent environment catastrophes cannot be celebrated but must be condemned as reminders of the presence of 20th Century decadence. The recent Gulf Spill, the destructive radioactive contamination being spread by damaged reactors in Japan are strong reminders of how humanity must use wisdom ways to being about divine guidance and invest in intelligent energy during this time in which we have the ability to do so.

We can use alternative energy, wind, tide, solar and volcanic heat. By working together we can heal ourselves, facilitate the healing of others and bring the world into ecological balance and healing.

We must stand together in the truth of higher vision and joyful living which means the creation of intelligent solutions and following through for the benefit of all humanity and life on earth.

Divine Unity is New Thought of The New Millennium. We know that together we can bring about dynamic solutions rooted in wisdom ways and compassion to insure not only survival but prosperity and joyful living for all beings upon our beautiful planet.

Article 18

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

This is one of the most important human rights: Freedom of Thought. Each of us has the right to choose compassion and the right to use one's mind to insure that wisdom is the guiding principle of our lives.

We choose: Love, Compassion, Contemplation, Meditation, reflection, Self correction when necessary, intense care for our planet and ourselves, kindness from me to you, from you to him/her, be it woman, be it man/ be it child

We choose a way of honesty, faith and deep belief in ourselves as Humanity, we can turn around, any of the past causes which have resulted in present effects of pollution, acidification of the ocean, poisoning of fresh water supplies and sickness of people animals and plant life. Through co-creation, we are planting the seeds of loving compassion and sustainable life such that this world is filled with healthy waters, clean air and joyful living.

When it comes time to hand over our beautiful blue world to the coming generations, we will say proudly that although humanity messed up in the past. During our lives, we faced up to our past destructive ways, then cleaned up, and changed our destructive habits. We will say to our grand children that Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) is healthy again and all yours. Love her, be kind to her and insure that all coming generations inherit a beautiful earth.

We choose to give our younger generation hope, strength, faith, and the understanding of the importance of compassionate action. We show them what it means to be and act like a responsible adult in a modern world through using wisdom ways and healing through love / compassion.

There are wonderful New Thought Institutions which support New Thought Seekers and Sharers in different ways. Join them, join us and choose compassion!
