Charles Fillmore and his wife Myrtle founded the Unity movement in Kansas City in 1889, after Myrtle was healed through prayer and the truth that she was a child of the Divine. Charles had been lame since childhood. Through daily practice he too found healing.
Fillmore became a student of Emma Curtis Hopkins and spent his life teaching practical Christianity: the teachings of Jesus applied to everyday life.
Fillmore taught that the twelve disciples of Jesus are symbols of twelve spiritual powers within every person: faith, strength, wisdom, love, power, imagination, understanding, will, order, zeal, renunciation and life. When these powers are awakened and gathered around the Christ within, the whole person is renewed.
Every great achievement is seen first in the mind. Hold the picture, put away all doubt, and the Great Spirit works through you.
Reflect: Which of the twelve powers is calling to be awakened in you right now?
What do you think about this? On January 20, 1996, three young women in Varginha, Brazil, saw a four foot creature with oily skin and red eyes crouched by a wall. The army was in town that morning. A policeman said to have handled it died a month later. Cover story, or Brazil’s Roswell?
What do you think about this? In 1800 settlers at Conneaut, Ohio, opened a four acre burial ground in rows and reported skeletons over seven feet, jaws that fit over a man’s face, double rows of teeth. The graves were plowed under within a generation. Tall tale, or a people buried twice?
What do you think about this? The Iron Pillar of Delhi is six tons of forged iron from around 400 AD. It has stood outside through 1,600 years of monsoons and never rusted, thanks to a protective film from phosphorus rich iron nobody made again. Lucky recipe, or knowledge lost on purpose?
What do you think about this? North Sea trawlers pull up mammoth teeth, flint tools and a carved harpoon from 120 feet deep. Until 8,000 years ago that seabed was Doggerland, a forested land the size of Britain, drowned by rising seas and a tsunami. The lost land of every old story?
What do you think about this? In 1974 a Florida family found a polished 22 pound steel ball in burned brush. It hummed when a guitar played, rolled across rooms on its own and changed direction. Navy X rays showed objects inside, origin unknown. Valve ball, or something that landed?
What do you think about this? The Whaley House in San Diego was built in 1857 where a man was slowly hanged five years earlier. A baby and a daughter later died inside. Visitors report footsteps in empty rooms and a pressure on the throat where the gallows stood. Old house, or long memory?
