What we believe & teach
One Life, expressing itself in many forms.
We believe that Heaven is within us and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious of it.
Oneness of Life
There is one Life—which is God—and this Life is expressing itself in many forms.
Creative Power of Thought
We are surrounded by a Creative Universal Mind. Our thoughts and beliefs directly impress upon this Mind, shaping our personal experiences and conditions.
Personal Connection to the Divine
God is an indwelling presence rather than a distant entity, and anyone can have a direct, personal relationship with the Sacred.
Healing & Wholeness
Healing of body, mind, and spirit is a natural outcome of aligning one's consciousness with spiritual truth.
Eternal Goodness
The universe is inherently loving, generous, and filled with eternal goodness.
What that means in practice
Honoring All Paths
We honor all world religions and philosophies as different paths to the realization of Truth.
Radical Inclusivity
CSL communities welcome and celebrate diversity, honoring the divine nature of every individual regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
Open at the Top
We encourage continuous spiritual and intellectual growth, remaining open to new wisdom from science, the arts, and sacred texts.
The answer to prayer is in the prayer when it is prayed — the belief of the one praying sets in motion the Law of Love, which is the fundamental Law of the Universe.
A world that works for everyone starts with this one.
Your giving keeps this community alive — the Sunday celebration, the practitioner prayer team, the classes, and the outreach that carries our principles into Sacramento.
