CULTS CRITIQUE by Betty Bruechert F r e q u e n t l y we are asked if it is true that the Unity School of Christianity of Lee’s Summit, Mo., teaches the Hindu doctrine of trans migration of souls. Space permits only a few quotations from Unity authorities but they will serve to prove that this repulsive, unscrip- tural concept is indeed part and parcel of the Unity creed. Unity S ta tem en t of Faith de clares: “We believe that the dissolu tion of spirit, soul and body, caused by death, is annulled by rebirth of the same spirit and soul in another body here on earth. We believe the repeated incarnations of man to be a merciful provision of our loving Father to the end that all may have opportunity to attain immortality through regeneration, as did Jesus" (p. 4). Hebrews 9:27 refutes this: “ It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this, the judgment.” Unity i ns i s t s that Jesus went through many incarnations, taking the forms of Moses, Elisha, David and others. “ These were His days at school,” states Unity, Vol. 14, 1901, “and he arrived at a state o f con sciousness, while manifesting as Jesus of Nazareth, where he remem bered past lives” (p. 149). I Cor. 15:1-4 tells us what really hap pened : “ . . . Christ died for our sins . . . was buried . . and rose again the third day.” The complete story is in the Four Gospels. Ernest C. Wilson’s writings be came textbooks for Unity. Following are excerpts from his book Have We Lived Before? “With each degree of dawning spiritual consciousness we are coming closer to that great ulti mate, the incarnation of Christ . . . Our human incarnations are steps along the way to the great incarna tion . . . Keincarnation is the gospel of the second chance . . . God’s loving answer to that universal cry of the human heart distressed by its miss ing of the shining mark . . . Imag ine some circumstance taking a per son into the beyond in the midst of a busy life . . . Is he not likely to seize the first favorable opportunity of re entering the portals at birth? . . . You will continue your progress from the point you left off and rear a new body . . .” (pp. 61-99). But God says: “Now is the ac cepted time; now is the day of salva tion” (II Cor. 6:2).
