1. OMNIPRESENCE OF GOD
Everything that exists, or ever will exist is pressed out of
the body of God (God-Substance) in different forms of
manifestation. Since the nature of God is absolute good, and
everything is God Substance, there can be no evil in
reality (and God is the ONLY unchanging reality).
“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee
from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” Psalm 139:
7-8 (KJV)
2. THE DIVINITY OF MAN
Man is made in the image-likeness of God.
SPIRITUAL MAN - “And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
MANIFEST MAN - “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of
the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
3. THE POWER OF THOUGHT (The
Value and Power of Thought)
It is through thinking that
man forms that which he has in his life.
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is
he ....” Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)
4. PRACTICING THE PRESENCE
It is through the spiritual discipline of abiding in the
presence of God through prayer (Communication with God) and
meditation (Conscious thoughts on aspects of God) that
humankind understands and experiences a conscious relationship
(oneness) with God.
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
5. THE LAW OF DEMONSTRATION
The results that follow from the practice of the above
principles is called The law of Mind Action: in short, like
begets like.
Man’s Responsibility as a Son of God is:
-
RIGHT THINKING
-
RIGHT WORDS
-
RIGHT FEELINGS
-
RIGHT ACTIONS
-
RIGHT REACTIONS
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1
Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)
On an autumn October afternoon in 2002, the journey to start a
Universal Foundation for Better Living study group in
Washington, DC began. Rev. Eric Ovid Donaldson, at the
arrangement of Rev. Bernette Jones, Senior Minister of One God
One Thought Center for Better Living in Baltimore, MD, was
introduced to Rev. Taiwo Inman, a longstanding metaphysician
who frequented Unity churches and was touched by the work of
Rev. Dr. Johnnie Colemon and Rev. Dr. Helen Carry.

WE BELIEVE that it is God’s
will that every individual on the face of this
earth should live a healthy, happy and prosperous
life.
WE BELIEVE that such a life is within the
reach of each one of us and the way to its
attainment begins with the realization that the
Kingdom of God is within us waiting for us to
bring it unto expression.
WE BELIEVE that we can bring this Kingdom
forth by practicing the universal spiritual
principles handed down through the ages and taught
by our Way-Shower, Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE with Jesus that our experiences are
the reflections of our beliefs and therefore the
key to happy and successful living is right
thinking followed by right action.
WE BELIEVE with Jesus that the basis for right
thinking is LOVE – love of God and all that is
good in our fellowmen (all others) and ourselves.
WE BELIEVE that learning to listen to the
whispering of the “still small voice” within us
will ensure that we are guided into right action.
WE BELIEVE that rather than devoting our
primary efforts to providing for the needy of the
world, the time has come to make available to all
people everywhere a teaching that will enable them
to provide for themselves by learning to release
the divine potential within them.
WE BELIEVE that the Divinity Center and the
Universal Foundation for Better Living is a
vehicle for the spreading of such a teaching.
WE BELIEVE that a mighty new wind is blowing.
People everywhere are hungry for practical
techniques that will show them how to fulfill the
good desires of their hearts. We in the Divinity
Center and the Universal Foundation for Better
Living believe that we have these techniques and
we offer them to everyone without distinction,
confident that with the help of the Holy Spirit,
we can teach all who are willing to learn how to
overcome whatever would keep them from their
highest good.
WE BELIEVE IN GOD!
WE BELIEVE IN HUMANITY!
WE BELIEVE IN THE DIVINITY CENTER & THE
UNIVERSAL FOUNDATION FOR BETTER LIVING!
