[Charles Fillmore's Works] [Unity on the Web Home Page]
After three decades of studying his writings, it is my
conclusion that Charles Fillmore was the greatest sage who
has been embodied in the last five hundred years. His
steadfast research into the realms of God Mind opened to
him infinite adventures. These revelations he generously
shared with all who studied in his classes or pondered over
his writings. Prayer opened this man's human consciousness
to the dynamics of Spirit.
I knew Charles Fillmore as a man with a diamond character.
His sparkling humor, his

radiant smile, and his luminescent logic quickened the
atmosphere of every room he entered. His genuine humility,
his simplicity of requirements, and his complete dedication
to Truth were always deeply felt by everyone who was in his
presence.
Prayer and faith caused him and his wife Myrtle to be the
responsive instruments for a spiritual movement. What she
first perceived, practiced, and proved with the healing
laws of God, he examined diligently before complete
acceptance. However, when he experienced the full impact of
the practicality of spiritual science, the way was opened
for the evolvement of the Unity movement.
On August 22, 1854, at 4 a.m., Charles Fillmore was born in
a log cabin constructed on an Indian reservation near the
small community of St. Cloud, Minnesota. There was no
thought then, of course, that many people would be
transformed by his influential teachings. But the years are
proving that his consciousness of universal Truth has
established a reliable cornerstone for the spiritual growth
of hundreds of thousands of people.
What is "new" about this book is the arrangement in which
this compilation is offered. Its purpose is to present the
basic substance of Charles Fillmore's writings in a manner

that will invite an expanded study of what he taught.
The sequence employed is a result of Charles Fillmore's own
logical thinking trends. The various sections cover
particular conceptions. Such were assembled from the
various books and articles by Mr. Fillmore so that each
unit would be complete in treating a specific subject.
It is my prayer that as you unfold your understanding of
the truth that is so beautifully and positively stated in
the following pages, you will find the same dynamics for
living that graced the life of Charles Fillmore.

I am now in the presence of pure Being and immersed in the
Holy Spirit of life, love, and wisdom.
I acknowledge Thy presence and power, O blessed Spirit. In
Thy divine wisdom now erase my mortal limitations, and from
Thy pure substance of love bring into manifestation my
world, according to Thy perfect law.
