The New Thought of Man, the Larger Thought of God.



Disease is due to false reasoning, so health is due to knowledge of the truth. To remove disease permanently, it is necessary to know the cause, the error which led to it. “The explanation is the cure.” To know the truth about life is therefore the sovereign remedy for all ills. The truth Jesus came to declare. PPQ


“All ice is water, but not all water is ice. The life in you is God - life, the wisdom in you is God - intelligence, the love in you is God - love. You are a child of God, an expression of God – so there can be nothing of you that is not innately of God.” Butterworth Unity A Quest For Truth



The term New Thought never did designate an organization. Emerson used the word in referring to “this new thought.’’ W. John Murray popularized the term at the turn of the twentieth century in his phrase: “The New Thought of Man, the Larger Thought of God.” Butterworth Unity A Quest For Truth


Rev. Eric Butterworth, as quoted from his book Unity A Quest For Truth,

Unity is not a new religion. It is not a new philosophy or a new teaching. Unity is purely and simply a technique in the demonstration and practice of Christian principles."

 - Unity is dedicated to the open mind, to the continuous quest for truth.
 - It does not seek to tell you what to think, how to define God, or what
creeds to accept.
 -
Unity seeks to teach you only “how to think”, “how to pray” – so that you can formulate your own definition of God and find your own distinctly personal revelation of truth.
 - The ultimate goal of Unity is to help you become one with God.
