LEARNING LIBRARY
Dear Unity Readers:
One of the several services offered by Unity Christ Church is the LENDING LIBRARY. It is located at the south end of the lower level. The shelves contain books donated by members and friends of the church. The books are arranged alphabetically by author.
The use of the Library is on the honor system. Just write the date, your name and the title of the book(s) in the notebook provided. Cross this out when you return the book(s). Please borrow no more than three books for three weeks at one time. Place the returned book(s) on the desk and a volunteer will re-shelve them.
You will find books by Unity authors, New Thought, Self-Help, Holistic Health and Nutrition, Psychology, Philosophy, and Bible Reference. The Bible reference section is particularly good for students of the Bible. Among other good sourcebooks, it contains the 12 volume set of The Interpreter’s Bible and the 4 volume set of the Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible. We also have a tremendous collection of audiotapes of classic Unity authors and ministers that you will not find anywhere else, but Unity.
We invite you to become acquainted with the fine material in the Library.
For more information, contact Mary Biggs (mmartbig@accessus.net) or the Church Office, (314) 727-6478.

The Power of Awareness
By Neville Goddard
Chapter One – “I AM.”
All things when admitted are made manifest by the light; for everything that is made manifest is light. Ephesians 5:13
The light is consciousness. We are one in the light; therefore we are one in consciousness. The Power of Awareness is one of several incredible books written by Neville that deals with the power of Imagination. As June is the study of this power, we will take a look at this amazing God-given power.
In Chapter 3, Neville ad- dresses the mistaken belief by many people that our circumstances come to us from some outside source. Whereas we all know the truth is “All that befalls a man –all that comes from him – happens as a result of his state of con- sciousnesses.” A person’s conscious- nesses is all that he believes, desires and loves –all that he consents and accepts to be true; even his own concept of himself.
That is why if you want your world to change, you begin with changing those core thoughts. In order to change your thinking, you must become aware of your thoughts. You must become of aware of the root of your beliefs, your ideas and your desires. Are they really truly your own? Or are you allowing the outside world to influence your thoughts and direct your life?
Neville leads us on a journey within ourselves in this book. He addresses our intentions, our attitudes, and our very essence of being. He instructs us to align our thoughts with the highest and best God has implanted in us. We are to accept the highest and the best, and he gives us practical ways to practice our thinking, to practice our imagining in God with persistence until we become that which we know ourselves to be.
He urges us not just to claim this for ourselves, but to claim it for others as well. See only the good for them and in them. Keep your eye single to the good, and check out this wonderful metaphysical classic in our Lending Library. Happy imagining this month!
