Unity EarthCare August: The Power of Will: Awakening Action and Alignment

Unity 12 Powers EarthCare Tip of the Month

August, 2026

For 2026, all twelve months of tips will follow a common theme: 12 Powers for our Planet, based on the national Unity EarthCare program. The Unity 12 Powers will also be explored yearlong at USCW through our Fourth Sunday themed services.

This month we explore the power of Will.

Power 7 – Will

The Unity spiritual power of Will is our executive capacity, our ability to get things done. It involves choice, resolve, and willingness to release willfulness and resistance.  

• “Will” as one of the 12 Powers is different from Divine Will. Divine Will isn't specific or restricted; it’s an open, collective force we all share and shape together.

• The Power of Will in an EarthCare context can be seen as the Will of Nature, which refers to the natural and physical laws and processes that govern the universe. 

• Unity believes that all Creation, all nature – human and non-human – is sacred and divine. Beyond the noise of consumer culture lies a simple truth: we do not merely inhabit nature—we belong to it.  

• Will can be positive or negative. 

  • We acknowledge the damage done by misguided human willfulness as evident in the wide-scale destruction of species and ecosystems, destabilization of Earth’s climate, and other unconscious and short sighted activities.

  • But we can take positive actions in our personal, professional and spiritual lives to improve the relationship of our human race with all of the rest of creation. 

  • With Wisdom as our guide and Will as our tool, we can mend our bond with the Earth and care for our planetary home.

Unity EarthCare July: Unlocking True Knowing - the Power of Understanding

Unity 12 Powers EarthCare Tip of the Month

July, 2026

For 2026, all twelve months of tips will follow a common theme: 12 Powers for our Planet, based on the national Unity EarthCare program. The Unity 12 Powers will also be explored yearlong at USCW through our Fourth Sunday themed services.

This month we explore the power of Understanding.

Power 7 – Understanding

The Unity power of Understanding is the ability of the mind to comprehend and realize the laws of thought and the relation of ideas to one another. It involves being able to make sense of facts, knowledge and ideas and allow insight to shape knowledge. 

• Understanding goes beyond simply knowing “what,” and focuses on your

  knowing “why.”

• It helps to not only know what the scientific consensus is on an issue, such as climate change or microplastics, but to gain an awareness of why scientists communicate what they do.

• That makes us better environmental advocates to have a deep enough understanding of the issues to not just parrot surface-level talking points (or say “but the consensus”).

• Understanding enables us to communicate with truly knowing the deeper meaning.

In Unity, we emphasize going into the silence and using our informed intuition to help reach an inner understanding beyond the “book knowledge.”

A spiritual exercise: Go outside. Breathe deeply and feel your connection to the Earth flowing up to you through the ground, flowing into your feet and hands, coursing through you and connecting deep down into the Earth like the roots of a mighty tree. Feel how you are one with creation.
