In July, we’re exploring the spiritual power of Understanding.  The Five Principles of Unity and other spiritual teachings are often stated simply. While one might wade into the shallow end at the beginning of a Unity spiritual journey, one might also step into the deep end and never touch the bottom.

Understanding, the knowledge that arises from that internal knowing independent of intellectual reasoning, is the gift and power that navigates the deep end. At the beginning of his reign, King Solomon was asked in a dream what gift he would like as king.  He replied, “Give your servant therefore an understanding mind.” (I Kings 3:9).  Indeed, he was given a wise and discerning mind.

Earlier this month, Rev. Russ showed us how to use this gift of understanding in our spiritual practices. Watch the recordings of these lessons on Facebook or YouTube.  He said, “With understanding, we are not taking on more information; we are taking on transformation. We are opening to ourselves with an awareness of the Divine so that we are cooperating with life instead of opposing it.”   

In this message, Jeanie continues to explore aspects of the power of Understanding that enrich our lives. Let’s take the Light of Understanding that is revealed to us and shine Light, Peace, and Love to empower and transform lives. May we be the Light of Understanding.
