We know that this Christ principle indwells every individual, no matter what his religious beliefs may be. . . . According to Donald Curtis, man's primary purpose is to recognize that he is divine. It is that man has always existed as part of God, and that this God-self, which is the living Essence of everything, individualizes itself in man. We are evolving constantly. And we must endeavor to manifest this God- consciousness in our world to solve our apparent differences through love and understanding.
Unity teaches evolution, both physical and mental or spiritual.
It teaches that mankind evolves toward Godhood and that this collective God-consciousness will be man's solution to all his problems. This teaching elevates mankind to divinity, a position that is far from biblical teaching. This idea, pantheism, is widely held in the East and is being imported to the United States via every means available to man. He fell by descending in his consciousness to the external or more material part of himself. In other words, the fall of man was from the spiritual realm to the physical and this fall has caused him to suffer spiritual amnesia.
