[Atom-Smashing Power of Mind]
[Charles Fillmore's Works] [Unity on the Web Home Page]
A great many passages in this book testify to Charles
Fillmore's persistent interest in what is popularly called
atomic energy and the promise held out by its development
of a better world for mankind. As he rejoiced in the
scientific achievement of its discovery so he tirelessly
devoted his thought to its guidance into the channels of
peaceful use. On every occasion he urged those having to do
with its development to make sure that this unique form of
energy, this great gift of the Father, would not be used to
worsen life and destroy mankind.
From another standpoint Charles Fillmore's mind was simply
fascinated by the idea of the atom, this infinitesimal
particle of substance, and the enormous energy locked up in
it. At times he thought of it as the most perfect
representation in the manifest world of that divine mental
or spiritual energy which pervades all things and which,
when properly expressed through the minds of His children,
serves so greatly to glorify God. At other times he thought
of it as the very essence of this mental or spiritual
energy, Spirit-mind itself! The reader will find each one
of these standpoints set forth over and over--perhaps
vaguely and mystically at times--but ever testifying to the
alertness and vitality of Charles Fillmore's mind and his
unflagging interest in everything in his world.

As will be readily recognized by Unity readers, the
articles appearing as chapters in this book, were
originally published in Unity magazine over a period of
half a century, one of them going back as far as the year
1898.
In the last paragraph of Chapter VIII the author gives his
readers a clear formula for dealing with the problem of the
atom:
"The great and most important issue before the people today
is the development of man's spiritual mind and through it
unity with God. . . . The taproot of all our confusion is
our failure to use our mind intelligently. We can only
think as God would have us think by adjusting our thoughts
to divine ideas. Religion and all that it implies in prayer
and recognition of God in idea and manifestation is the one
and only way out of the chaos in which we find ourselves.
We must therefore begin at once to develop this unity with
the Father-Mind by incorporating divine ideas into all that
we think and speak."
