Prosperity

Divine Love, through me, blesses and multiplies
All that I give, all that I receive, and all that I Am.

Unity has always taught the spiritual laws of Prosperity and Abundance. The Fundamental Teachings of Unity state:

Prosperity is the abundance of every good thing our hearts desire. This blessing originates in God, the Source of all good. It is manifested in our lives through our enlightened use of divine ideas of good with which God inspires us. When we consciously work with these ideas and use them wisely and lovingly, bountiful blessings will flow into our lives. As our awareness increases of the infinite supply which is perpetually available to us, our prosperity demonstrations will also increase. Our every need will be abundantly met in the most appropriate and fulfilling ways.

Prosperity Affirmations

Catherine Ponder is a well known author who writes about prosperity and the power behind affirmations. She speaks to manifesting life the way you want it to be and claiming the power of your life by the spoken word. Her books are available in the Unity bookstore.

Here are a few affirmations from Ponder's book, Open Your Mind To Prosperity. To use these affirmations, speak the words out loud, slowly and deliberately. Connect your voice to ever present flow of good in the Universe to make a difference in your life and the lives of others.

I am surrounded by divine substance and this divine substance now manifests for me in rich appropriate form.

God is my supply and my unlimited abundance of everything now.

Divine love is now working through me to adjust all the details of my life. Love transforms my life now.

I now release and am released from everything and everybody that are no longer part of the divine plan for my life. Everything and everybody that are no longer part of the divine plan for my life now release me.

Guidance for Prosperity

1. We live in a universe of spiritual substance, infinite supply, and endless good.
2. Abundance is found in a consciousness of God, not a preoccupation with material things. Open yourself to a consciousness of abundant living, claim your good and bless the good of others.
3. God is our source and our supply. Other people, our jobs, etc. are channels through which we receive.
4. The law of mind action, “thoughts held in kind produce after their kind,” reminds us that our thoughts have the energy to shape our experiences.
5. To live the abundant life we must practice the laws of giving and receiving: what we give returns as increase in proportion to the value it brings to others.
6. We must be open and receptive to receive this good. We are co-creators with God and we must let God do Spirit’s part.
7. Honor, treat with respect, and behold the Christ within all people.
8. To clear the blocks to the flow of our good, we must forgive and let go of our resentments.
9. Tithing is a spiritual discipline that helps us to remember that God is our Source and to put God first.
10. Take right action, do what needs to be done by you to realize your heart’s desire. Don't wait to receive something for nothing.

The Law of Giving and Receiving

“Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure that you give will be the measure you get back.”   (Luke 6:38)

Giving and receiving are the ways we participate in establishing balance in the manifestation of prosperity. Giving and receiving cause a flow of substance in soul and body which manifest in every area of our lives. Practicing giving and receiving will release the flow of abundant good in our consciousness.

Giving Freely

According to Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, “A gift of reservations is not a gift; it is a bribe. There is no promise of increase unless we give freely, let go of the gift entirely, and recognize the universal scope of the law. Then the gift has a chance to go out and to come back multiplied. There is no telling how far the blessing may travel before it comes back, but it is beautiful and encouraging fact that the longer it is in returning, the more hands it is passing through and the more hearts it is blessing. All these hands and hearts add something to it in substance, and it is increased all the more when it does return.”
