Principles Beyond Deconstruction: What do you think? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where I’ve Landed: Unity’s Five PrinciplesIn my personal spiritual journey I have explored a variety of paths and traditions. The most influential teacher I’ve had was Louise Hay, but the most influential spiritual practice has been the workbook from A Course in Miracles. As I’ve been writing these last few Substacks, I’ve been using Unity’s Five Principles as a template for explaining where I’ve landed, because when I first read them, I thought they were a brilliant way of describing the core o
