| Sit down once or twice a day, maybe for five to twenty minutes, to practice Unification. (Spend any amount of time you feel is right for you. Or, if your schedule permits, leave the time open-ended, and simply sit until you feel satisfied with your practice.) Before you begin each time, offer a short prayer, affirming your intention to love. Then begin the Unification process. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The basic instruction in Unification is: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Love. Love with all your heart. Only love.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
To connect with God and your higher Self, the most important thing IS that you love in your heart. As you do so, you WILL begin to feel God's presence. And that's how you know you're loving for real.

The metamorphosis of love in Unification practice
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In Unification practice, love reveals itself in four distinct phases. Accordingly, Unification is described in four steps. If you persist in love, you will pass through all four phases eventually. But it is not necessary to do so. Make no effort to rush through the process; just take it as it comes. Even if you do just the first step, you will immediately feel the benefits of your loving -- and your associates will feel it too.

| Start by reading and practicing Step 1. To avoid information overload, it is best if you don't read the instructions for the later steps until you are ready for them -- or at least, until you have become comfortable with the practice of Step 1. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Variations of Unification practice | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Unification is a very simple process, but it can be done in slightly different ways to fit different circumstances. These include ways to practice Unification SOCIALLY -- in relationship with one other person, or with a group. Social forms of Unification practice harness the considerable powers of soul resonance and joined will. Experience shows that social Unification practice very readily invokes the Divine presence. It unmistakably demonstrates the truth of these Divine promises: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
"Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am also."
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
and
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
"The Kingdom of Heaven is among you."

| Social Unification practices follow the same steps as the Essential (basic) Unification Practice. Therefore, before reading and trying the instructions for practicing Unification socially, first learn the basic technique. After you are comfortable with the Essential Unification Practice, feel free to study and try any variations which interest you.
