Religious symbol systems have the capacity to bring into place superordinate constructions of reality. One interesting construction of reality has been developed by the Unity School of Christianity, organized in the second half of the nineteenth century and perhaps the most successful of organized groups within the American New Thought/Metaphysical movement. Interviews were completed with ten movement participants, members of a Unity satellite organization in a midwest American city, as a follow-up to rhetorical analysis of Unity's premiere publication, "Daily Word Magazine." Data showed that (1) participants' responses indicate rational understanding of the manifest thematic content of the "Daily World" discourse; (2) respondents, in accordance with the ultimate framework of Unity, appear to accept the responsibility that to give expression to spiritual heritage, one must recognize Truth as principle and law of the universe; (3) respondents embrace a new spiritual identity as "Truth Students," which means to achieve redemption as they transcend the frustrations, contradictions, and conflicts of social life; (4) respondents understand they are using attention-shifting as a rhetorical strategy to progress in the ability to know and perceive in a spiritual way; and (5) respondents see themselves as Truth Students participating actively in a rhetorical drama.
