A True Prosperity Story from Alaska
Unity of Anchorage was all of four years old when we hosted an event with Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Peale at convention halls in both Anchorage and Juneau. The cost was ‘many’ hundreds of dollars, yet it was a financial success. At the time there were not yet great numbers of people in the congregation. However, in those people there was a great financial prosperity consciousness!
And, to find greater ways to serve it often included ‘thinking outside the box”!
In Unity, Truth Principles on Financial Prosperity include:
“Do not center your thought on yourself, your interests, your gains or losses, but realize the Universal Nature of substance. The more conscious you become of the presence of the Living Substance the more it will manifest itself for you and the richer will be the common good of all.”
Page 24 Prosperity, by Charles Fillmore
“Substance cannot be seen, touched, tasted, or smelled, yet it is more substantial than matter…
It stands under or behind matter as its support and only reality.” page 14 Prosperity, Charles Fillmore
Focusing on “Substance” and gaining in understanding of this Truth has perhaps more than anything been the underlying reason I’ve been able to manifest my dream homes and businesses, where to human sense there was no way! If you desire greater financial prosperity I highly recommend a gaining a greater understanding of “Substance”!
As we practice holding to the Truth we know, we continue building consciousness, ours and our worlds. Consciousness work is ongoing and takes spiritual study, “Practicing The Presence”, inner work, and practicing using the Truth we know in our daily lives.
Spiritual work is most effectively done both in group gatherings: study groups and on our own.
The teachings in the Unity Movement worldwide have been proven over and over that when facts are dire and Truth is taken hold of in consciousness, we prevail!
