[Dynamics for Living]
[Charles Fillmore's Works] [Unity on the Web Home Page]
Behold, what God hath wrought!
An ideal man, a mighty man--
A man supreme, who thought by thought
Must demonstrate what God hath wrought.
Hard experiences come into our life because we do not know
the law of harmonious thinking.
All economic, social, and personal trouble can be traced
back to selfishness.

One who tries to establish self-control through will power
and suppression never accomplishes permanent results.
Time is the measure that man gives to passing events.
There is but one way to establish harmony in the home, and
that is to establish it first in the individual.
No one has the right to dictate what another shall do.
The cause of all accidents lies in sense consciousness. To
be free from all accidents, we must raise our
consciousness, so that it is spiritually positive and
Christlike. Then we shall attract only good.
The greatest disintegrating element in human consciousness
is resistance.
Instead of giving up to circumstances and outer events we
should remember that we are all very close to a kingdom of
mind that would make us always happy and successful if we
would cultivate it and make it and its laws a vital part of
our life.

Man is a duality in seeming only. He is a unit when he
knows himself.
The belief that God makes men do certain things cannot be
true in a single instance, because, if it were, man would
not be a free agent.
God has chosen each of us as a medium for the expression of
Himself.
There are times when it is to our own spiritual benefit and
to God's glory to keep things concealed and, like Mary, to
ponder them in our heart until due time for expression.
Christianity is the science of eternal life.
The great object of man's existence in planetary
consciousness is to build a body after the ideals given by
the Lord.
Our consciousness is our real environment.
God is not jealous as men count jealousy, but He is jealous
of principle, from which no lapses are tolerated.
It is the law of Spirit that we must be that which we would
draw to us.
Spiritual beauty is the loveliness of God beheld in His
creations by the eye of man.

Cause and effect are the balance wheel of the universe.
Marriage should be a perpetual feast of love, and so it
would be if the laws of love were observed.
No one ever attained spiritual consciousness without
striving for it.
One must give up personal attachments before one can
receive the universal.
A wish is a superficial expression of desire, and is only
fleeting.
Instead of fighting modern science the new Christianity
welcomes its discoveries as proofs of the veritable
existence of the kingdom of the heavens that Jesus taught
so persistently.
Any system that suppresses the will is radically wrong.
The soul is progressive. It must go forward. It must meet
and overcome its limitations.
The buoyancy and joy of youth should be cultivated
enthusiastically as the years advance.

All food is primarily mental, and in the process of
digestion and assimiliation it becomes part of the body
structure, making cells like itself in character.
Seeming failure is often a steppingstone to something
higher.
Restlessness cannot be satisfied by change of climate or
environment or by travel or by any other outward change.
Only by man's finding his center in God can restlessness
and discontent be satisfied.
In order to realize Truth and to demonstrate it you must
live it.
Every adverse situation can be used as a spur to urge one
to greater exertion and the ultimate attainment of some
ideal that has lain dormant in the subconsciousness.
Every man who accomplishes things sees first in his mind
what he wishes to do.
What you now comprehend is not the ultimate of your ability
in any direction.
