COMMENTS ON WEBSITE CONTENT STATS

Please Note: 

These statistics reflect activity that began in earnest the spring of 2004.

The total number of visits represents those who access the site directly through the Home Page. It does not register those that go directly to other web pages on the site that may have been saved as "favorites" such as The Library or Heritage pages. That being the case, and since some links from other websites, individuals, and search engines bypass the Home Page which brings visitors directly to other pages on the UnityHeritage site, the number of visits to the site listed is not necessarily the best indicator of site usage.

Significantly more accurate indicators of usage would be the number of pages accessed and the number of total "hits" to the site which shows the actual totals of specific individual documents and entries viewed.

There are additional factors to consider in assessing the full extent of access to material on the Heritage site. Copyright permissions allow the heritage material to be copied, distributed, used for classes or educational purposes, and forwarded via internet e-mail and postings as long as there is no intent to use the material for financial gain. Internet forwarding can be quite voluminous.

We have examples of forwarded material with more than a couple of dozen recipients and those recipients are in turn free to forward the material to others. Therefore, the true total number of individuals who are reached and view the material posted on this site is without doubt far, far greater than the access statistics would suggest. There is no reasonable method to estimate what that number may be.

FIRST EXCLUSIVE UNITY BASED BOOK NOW IN PRINT

LoneWolf Press has published its first soft cover volume of Unity articles by Charles Fillmore. The title is "Christ and Christianity" and contains 22 selections illustrating Mr. Fillmore's perspective(s) of the role that Jesus and His teaching have as the foundation of the Unity movement.  It is now available to the public.  Send a check or money order to the above address.  For more information please "click" on the link indicated.

THE LIBRARY

The "Library" now has more than 750 selections that include a collection of  more than 140 articles by Charles Fillmore and 30 plus by James Dillet Freeman.   Most of these writings do not appear in  published books and can only be found in the Unity library archives which requires a trip to Unity Village, Missouri or from any PC anywhere in the world with internet access by keying unityheritage.org into a search engine like Google or Yahoo. There are still 100's of additional  files of material to be edited, arranged, and posted to the site.  Since our staff  and resources are limited, additions and maintenance to the site takes time.

AMERICAN HERITAGE

The "American Heritage" Library section has been consolidated and reorganized.  It is undergoing a significant expansion and now contains close to 80 items.  The underlying message of the section is to demonstrate that among the American Founding Fathers and heroes there was a very strong belief in the supreme Deity, often referred to as God,  and relied heavily on Divine direction and intervention.  They believed that this nation exists by the hand of "Divine Providence" and stood on biblical principles emphasized by the teachings of the New Testament and the example of Jesus.  For the most part, they were not typical "church going Christians" or preachers. They prayed frequently but did not often worship publicly.  Rather they stood upon and lived the principles.  They were reformers, activists, and revolutionaries for a cause greater than their own ambitions—at risk of their lives, often unto death.

Jesus is often called the "Prince of Peace" but out of his mouth he said that he did not come to bring peace but war.  Study the New Testament objectively, especially the Gospels,  and it becomes apparent that he was, as many scholars have noted, a "Messianic Warrior".  He was a soldier, reformer, activist, and revolutionary who fought a great battle to defend the guiding principles of human life.  He was often depicted as the leader of great hosts (armies).  His sharp two-edged sword was not made of steel but his tongue, under the banner of Truth.  Realize that according to tradition, Paul who "fought the good fight" along with all of the first group of apostles (messengers) of Christian Truth, save John the Beloved imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos, were brutally murdered.

If our nation gives up those principles which are its backbone and strength,  America will cease to exist as the "Shining City on the Hill" and the "Earth's last great hope" as it once was.

POETRY AND PSALMS

Diverse selections of spiritual and inspirational "Verse" are now greater than 650.  More than half of these selections can be found in Unity publications.  That includes the category of verse from Unity publications and those scattered under other headings including the Transcendentalists and classic poets.  In her time Ella Wheeler Wilcox was a Traditional Unity favorite as well as a popular national icon.  This was the Poetry of choice for Traditional Unity.

THE TRANSCENDENTALISTS

Charles Fillmore said, "All Students of metaphysics should read Emerson.
His writings contain the essence of all higher thoughts…
[He] anticipates the modern school of metaphysics…
no metaphysical student should be without his works."

Modern Thought (April 1889)

Listed below are some of the Trancendalist essays on the website.

Divinity School Address-Emerson
Idealism-Emerson
The Transcendentalist-Emerson
Death of a Pine Tree-Thoreau
Higher Laws-Thoreau
Life Without Principle-Thoreau
Transcendentalism in New England-Dall

There are also more than 100 Transcendentalist poetry selections in the Verse pages of the website.  Much of it is very moving; others are educational.

PROJECTS AND PLANS

1.  We will continue to collect, organize, edit unique or classical material and write commentaries for Unity based books  and booklets or related works. 

2.  We hope to significantly expand the subjects and scope of the site material to illustrate the connection of Traditional Unity and Biblical Principles from our perspective to American Heritage and the world of our time.  Some of these efforts are likely to be controversial—so be it.

3.  The quotation section has been long neglected and is in the process of a makeover.  Selected quotations are being reorganized, updated, and greatly expanded.  Individual sections will be posted when there is sufficient content to be worthwhile.  The largest of our primary half dozen non-Unity categories exceeds 25 text pages and is about ready to post.  A good quotation can convey in a few lines the content of a full essay.  They are extremely useful and effective in communicating a point.

4.  The technology used in the current Website is now obsolete and we are in the process of evaluating alternatives for its replacement without disturbing the content rather than continuing to patch the current site as it is.

5.  We are also intending to create a separate LoneWolf Press, LLC commercial site to provide printed material and other media to augment and expand distribution of our work and message.

SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE

The UnityHeritage.org website is the largest single source of Traditional Unity writings and related information readily available to the general public that exists.  No other source is organized and summarized by category and topic for easier reference in the formats we have created.  We continue to refine and expand this resource for the benefit of the Unity Movement and to carry its message as far and wide as possible.  The extent of expansion of this work is only bound by the resources at our disposal which unfortunately are limited.  Source material is virtually without limits.

This website exists for the sole purpose of preserving and promoting and extending the work begun by the Fillmore family.  It is not a business venture and there is no hidden agenda.   There is no paid staff; all work is voluntary.  This effort is a mission and the hope is to send a message of the liberal, caring, New Testament Christianity, practically applied, as given to us by Jesus the Messiah .  He and only He is the true head of what we seek to accomplish.  It is for Him that we labor.

We would accept with grateful appreciation any assistance in this effort that any are willing to offer.  That could include financing, appropriate source material, a note of thanks—of encouragement via e-mail, or postal correspondence.  Help us to "Pass It On" and "Pay it Forward."

HONOR THE HERITAGE!
