Eric Butterworth (1916-2003)
Popular "Unity" Minister, Author, Philosopher and Lecturer
He had the unique ability to simplify the most complex metaphysical teachings in simple terms of awareness. He was described as "The twentieth century Emerson."
"Go within in a time of silence and get a renewed awareness of God as your resource, and then go about your business affairs in the strong consciousness of the omnipresence of substance."
Born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1916, Eric attended Fresno State University and Capital University in Ohio, where he studied music. He began training for the ministry at Unity Village in Missouri during WWII. He left to join the army and as a lieutenant in the Medical Corps, trained medical personnel and also served as chaplain and counselor. After the war, he returned to his ministerial studies and graduated from Unity Ministerial School.
"Real life isn't made up of great success and great failure, but of an infinite number of levels of living in between. And true greatness depends more on inner overcomings than on outer achievements."
A scholar and educator, Eric established three powerful Unity ministries. Pittsburgh, Detroit and New York City.
"So, no matter what the difficulty, the loss, the financial adversity, if you are feeling negative, get busy pearling. By the "all things work together for good" principle, any experience of life can become the best thing that ever happened to you."
He wrote the book “Discover the Power Within You”. Eric Butterworth taught that God isn't "up there. He exists inside each one of us, and it's up to us to seek the divine within."
"When you begin to understand this life principle, you will know that there is a wellspring of life, substance, and intelligence within you, and that yours is the privilege at any time of giving way to its flow. This may lead to one of the most important realizations that will ever come to you: If ever there is a lack of any kind, whether it is a need for employment, or for money, or for guidance, or even for healing, something is blocking the flow. And the most effective remedy: Give!"
