Fillmore's Universe

Golden egg of prosperity

Inspired by Prosper, authored by Charles Fillmore

The fundamental spiritual substance of the Universe is DIVINE MIND—the one and only reality. When we incorporate the ideas that form this Mind into our mind, a mighty strength wells up within us. We have a foundation for this spiritual body that is eternal in the heavens. When awareness of the spiritual body is established in consciousness, its strength and power is transmitted to the visible body and to all the things that we touch and perceive in the world about us.

Humanity's daily needs will be met in many ways that were not thought practical. We shall serve for the joy of serving, and prosperity will flow to us and through us in generous streams of plenty. The supply and support that love and zeal will set in motion will provide our power.

The dynamic power of the super-mind has been sporadically displayed by men and women of every nation. It is usually connected with some religious rite in which mystery and priestly authority prevail. The so-called "common herd" are kept in darkness with respect to the source of the superhuman power of occult adepts and holy men. But we have seen a "great light" in the discovery by physical scientists that the atom conceals electronic energies whose mathematical arrangement determines the character of all the fundamental elements of nature. This discovery has given Christian meta-physicians an understanding of the dynamics within Spirit.

Science now postulates space rather than matter is the source of life. It says that the very air is alive with dynamic forces that await our grasp and utilization and that these invisible, omnipresent energies possess potentialities far beyond our most exalted conception.

We are told by science that we have utilized this mighty ocean in producing from it the light and power of electricity. The seemingly tremendous force generated by the whirl of our dynamo generators is but a weak dribble from a universe of energy. The invisible waves that carry radio programs everywhere are but a mere hint of an intelligent power that penetrates and permeates every volume of life, visible and invisible. Scientific minds the world over have been tremendously moved by these revolutionary discoveries.

Although a number of books have been written by scientists, setting forth the far-reaching effects that will inevitably follow our appropriation of the easily accessible energy, none has told the whole story. The fact is that the greatest discovery of all ages is that of physical science; things apparently have their source in invisible, intangible space.

What Jesus taught so profoundly in symbols about the riches of the kingdom of the heavens has now been seen to be true. According to the Greek language in which the New Testament has come down to us, Jesus did not use the word heaven but the word heavens in His teaching. He was not telling us of the glories of some faraway place but was revealing the properties of the heavens all around us, called "dimensions" by physicists. He taught not only its dynamic but also its intelligent character, and said that the entity that rules it is within us. "The kingdom of God is within you."
