Unity thoughts from one of the most interesting and unlikely places.
I belong to an online chat group called the Philosophers Stone, started by a friend of mine. On it we talk about anything and everything. Science, Magic, Religion, Honesty, Truth, War, Peace, Love and much more. This group is mostly young folks, of 19-35 age group, with a few oldsters like my self. I was on this chat list the other night and noticed a new topic. Unity:
These comments on the topic are what I found:
New Topic: Unity
Can science, religion, magic, and mysticism come together and agree? Are they mutually exclusive and enemies or are they actually different perspectives on the same thing?
Unity
Traditional religion is a mid level state of consciousness, because it encourages blind faith and rigidity in rules, regulations and a obedience to the establishment. Higher states of consciousness allow for tolerance, change and growth. If someone gets stuck at either level, they are cheating themselves out of added opportunity for development. B.
Unity
Science, religion, magic, and mysticism can never come together and agree, as they have been separated into different terminology but they all meaning the same thing: the unknown made known. Science does not have all the answers, and relies on theories and belief in them to suffice when proof is somewhat shaky. Religion depends on faith where visible proof is absent. Magic states that invisible forces do what we see no physical answer for, and mysticism looks beyond the visible to see what is out there. They are all the same, and yet we separate based on conditioning and rationale. J.
Unity
I agree with you J when you say that there is no division between these spiritual practices/beliefs. if you look at any religious system, it will assuredly have foundations in magic. From there it will form constructs of ideas and rituals on top of the foundation. and then, the spiritual "gurus" who emerge from each faith are always mystics... claiming a reality beyond what we can detect with our five senses or prove through scientific fact. but I think each level encompasses the one before it, so that it is not a hierarchy, but a growth in all directions. (FYI, this is not an original thought...it's referred to as holon theory or something similar) S.
Unity
I would have to agree with the latter. They may never agree, or even see that they're arguing essentially the same point. We're all looking for answers, and everyone's truth is always truer than the next person's. I think if the big picture were ever laid out in front of the world, there would be a collective "aha!" moment. I am anxiously awaiting that day.... C.
Unity
I do see your point. Anyways, there's all sorts of different religions and different forms of mysticism and magic. Yet all of them have similarities. I think it could be possible for unity if people could just look at the things that are common between all of them instead of all the differences. Maybe it would help further tolerance a bit. J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are folks that don’t know about the Unity Church. Isn’t it interesting how close they come to Unity thought? Isn’t that what Unity is about in essence: the coming together of the best in religion, mysticism, science and a dash of magical God force from the Universe? I was heartened to find that so many young minds are pondering the state of the Universe and that their thinking was quite similar to ours. I think we may have some future Unity enthusiasts out there.

A Tale of Two Raft Trips: Unity Fundraiser.
A multimedia presentation on the Tatshenshini/Alsek Rivers and the Kongakut River will be given on Saturday, April 19, at 7:00 pm, in Unity of Clearwater Valley Church, 1622 15th Ave, Lewiston. Clyde Nicely, of Clarkston, will be your guide.
The Tatshenshini begins in Canada's Yukon Territory, crosses British Columbia, joins the Alsek and enters Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park. This is considered by many to be the most visually spectacular river trip in North America.
The Kongakut flows through the Brooks Range in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Above the Arctic Circle and the treeline, it teems with amazing vistas and wildlife.
This is a fundraiser for repair of the church's roof. A $10 donation is requested. Cash or check, please.
