Compassion

One Presence and one Power is the foundation of my Beingness.

Today’s affirmation is based on one of the five basic principles of Unity. It affirms that all the presence and power that each of us is and has must be the One Presence and One Power. If it were not so, there would be more than one power and one presence.

Embracing this principle defines our purpose as Spiritual Beingness having a human experience. If fear-based judgments cloud my expanding awareness of spiritual Truth, I affirm this principle then remind myself of Jesus’ words: “Judge not.”

Compassion is the spiritual energy that dissolves the negative effects of judgment. When I reflect on the conflicts of the world, I learn from the consequences of judging others. I appreciate the rich diversity of this mortal realm, without insisting on either superiority or conformity. By making loving choices in my life, I honor and recognize the Oneness “lying back of” and “underwriting” all beings.

One Presence and one Power is the foundation of my Beingness.
