The Twelve Powers (Unity Classic Library) [Paperback]

Charles Fillmore (Author)

Book Description

Series: Unity Classic Library | Publication Date: January 1, 2006

The Twelve Powers combines two popular Unity books: The Twelve Powers of Man by Charles Fillmore and a companion piece, Christ Enthroned in Man by Cora Dedrick Fillmore.

When Charles Fillmore studied the life, teachings, death, and Resurrection of Jesus, he discovered twelve power that, when developed, can lead to a life of unspeakable joy and glory. Fillmore wrote The Twelve Powers of Man to explain metaphysically these twelve human powers or faculties and the process of regeneration as taught by Jesus Christ.

The book includes Scripture references, an index, and questions for each chapter that help the reader learn how to develop those twelve powers and experience physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual renewal and regeneration.

This is one of Fillmore's most profound books and challenges the serious metaphysical student as well as those seeking in-depth understanding of mind, body, and spirit.

About the Author

Charles Fillmore was an innovative thinker, a pioneer in metaphysical thought at a time when most religious thought in America was entirely orthodox. He was a lifelong advocate of the open, inquiring mind, and he took pride in keeping abreast of the latest scientific and educational discoveries and theories.

Cora Dedrick Fillmore, an ordained Unity minister, married Charles in 1933. In addition to Christ Enthroned in Man, she also compiled two books from the writings of Charles Fllmore, Keep a True Lent and Atom-Smashing Power of Mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars 12 Powers, March 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Twelve Powers (Hardcover)

After reading the 12 powers, I created my own affirmations to support my daily prayers to strengthen these powers. This book is thought provoking, when reading Charles' section, and can be put to practical use via meditation, when reading Cora's section. Since there are two books in one, this is a real bargain. If you can't read the whole book, make sure you read the last chapter when all the powers are placed in a single excercise. You will appreciate the knowledge gained from "faith and understanding.." to "..wisdom and renuciation". Learn how to manage and express the 12 powers and bring them into spiritual reality.

I do have to give this book five stars because of it's powerful teachings of basic metaphysical principles. I do, though, highly recommend reading the two books concurrently. As much as I admire Charles Fillmore, his book isn't the easiest reading for one new to metaphysics. Also, one probably won't agree with all his teachings. He had beliefs in immortality in the body, in regeneration, and concerning sexuality which many will disagree with, which is all right. This material must be read with an open mind, and with a discerning mind which can discard that which one has difficulty with while retaining that which is relevant.
