102 Christmas 1912 Address by Charles Fillmore

2026-07-19T16:14:19.831-04:00

welcome to our Christmas edition of the Unity Weekend Message. Today, we're going to review an address by Charles Fillmore given in 1912 at the Tracy Auditorium.

"The one aim and object of man's existence is to put on Christ, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." This hasn't always been rightly understood because the true concept of man has not entered into his consciousness.

We have separated Jesus Christ from ourselves and talked about him as a man when he represents the universal principle, the supreme ideal man, which we are all seeking to put on to manifest to be. It is a question of how shall we go about it. We all admit that we would like to be better men, better women, have a higher standard of life in all of its details, but seem to be in darkness as to the method of attaining this.

Now the way is plain and very simple, but it requires some little persistence in following it out, in going that way. And the first step is always to accept that one supreme proposition, that I was, in my original inception, in divine mind, supreme ideal, the very highest that God could imagine was born into me, created in me, and it is my privilege to express it.

Let Christ be formed in you. Now, do you accept that proposition? If you do, you have taken the first step to the forming of Christ. Then the next step is to affirm that all of the Christ attributes Whatever they may be, are now forming themselves in my character. You follow that out day after day, and you put on Christ.

You put on Christ just to the extent that you accept these fundamental propositions and make them yours. So a simple direct demonstration of putting on Christ is to affirm that Christ is now being formed in my consciousness. Praise the Father, the Christ, that God may be formed in you. Say to Him right now, Father, Let thy Christ, thy supreme ideal man, be formed in me.

Let us all join in that prayer.

# 106 Forgive Us Our Trespasses with John Zenkewich

2026-07-19T16:14:19.788-04:00

How can we be Radiant Centers of Love & Light in the world?

One way is to forgive those who "trespass" against us.

What does trespass mean to you?

1.enter the owner's land or property without permission.

"there is no excuse for trespassing on railroad property"

2.Archaic literary:

commit an offense against (a person or a set of rules).

"a man who had trespassed against Judaic law"

synonyms:sin, transgress, offend, do wrong, err, go astray, fall from grace, stray from the straight and narrow"he would be the last among us to trespass"

To be love in the world we need to be able to forgive those who Offend, Do Wrong against us.

Are you able to do that today?

Have some fun with the idea.

Love John

Episode 12 Easter: Answer to Fear Special Edition

2026-07-19T16:14:19.613-04:00

Episode 12

Easter symbolizes the final overcoming in the Bible story of man's journey into light. It represents the triumph of Spiritual Consciousness over the last Outer Intimidation of man.

An adequate faith in your own ability and distinctive individuality, coupled with your faith in God, gives you strength to face life “square on”, and not retreat. You do have “what it takes”! God has built it into your inmost being. Go forth in confidence now, to claim the good new things that await you as an unbound, fearless child of God with whom all things are possible!”

“Christ has Risen!” respond “Surely Christ has Risen in You!”

12. Prospering Power of Prayer Part 5 Preview

2026-07-19T16:14:19.606-04:00

We continue our study of Catherine Ponder's The Prospering Power of Prayer and look at Chapter 5 Prayer in Pictures.

Here is a preview of some of the ideas we will discuss this weekend:

You can picture a thing and bring it through

Rather than trying to reason it through or force it through.

You can hasten your good through picturing!

Results have to be planned.

Prosperity is a planned result.

When we visualize with the help of a Wheel of Fortune

We are really praying and imaging our good;

We are changing the current of our thinking

From negative to positive,

From despair to hope,

From discouragement to encouragement.

Keep quiet about what you are picturing,

so that you will not talk your good away.

Awaken the Power Within You

2024-01-20T09:08:00.000-05:00

“According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the practice of meditation adds no special powers at all. All the powers are always present within us, but they are lying blocked (Sutra IV.3). When a farmer wants to irrigate his field , he does not create water, nor does he push it into the field. He simply raises the sluice gate that was blocking the flow, and the field is automatically irrigated. The blocks we have placed in our minds are simply removed in meditation so that the inner forces begin to function, and all our faculties come to their fullest possible growth.”

-Pandit Usharbudh Arya (who later became Swami Veda Bharati), Mantra & Meditation, in the Forward, pages xv - xvi

How Unity Got a Transcendent God

2022-04-24T17:39:00.002-04:00

Hi Friends,

This is a great post on the Truth Unity Website:

That metaphysical Christians experience God as immanent (the God within which we refer to as the Christ) is well understood. What is not so obvious is our experience of the transcendent God (a God in which we live and move and have our being). Does such a God exist? If so, is the transcendent God comprehensible to us? If a transcendent God exists and is comprehensible, is such a God personally involved in my life? Does He or She care? Or is It impersonal Principle?

This 90 minute talk given in 1984 by Phil White explains why we have his ambiguity in Unity today. Phil explains and compares the basic belief of Phineas Quimby, “change your thoughts and you change your life” and the basic belief of Mary Baker Eddy, “Divine Mind and its ideas lead to expression”.Read More>>>>>

May every word you speak float down like a rose petal.

2022-04-21T16:33:00.000-04:00

May every step you take tinkle like a silver bell.

May every thought in your mind become a star in heaven.

May everything you touch become flowers and fruits.

May you be Infinity's infant and suckle on Her sun-breast.

May sunbeam and moonbeam be the twin ropes for your soul's swing.

May every word you speak float down like a rose petal.

May He cast you in His own image.

May you know your scriptures by heart, not

by mind alone.

May your capacities continue to grow.

May the Sun be your own honeycomb.

May you give, never needing to ask.

May your life be your immortal work of art.

May you not pick up the desires of others as your own.

"Aspiration #7"

by Swami Veda Bharati

Would you rather be little or would you choose to be large?

Would you rather have only the twinkle of your eye

or would you rather have the sun?

Would you rather only dwell in that sound

which the limited space of your ear can grasp

or would you choose to be the entire space

in which all sounds become one OM? --

-- that one OM from which all the other sounds

then diversify and become many.

(From Bindu.org, Offerings:Inspirations, circa 2000/2001)

Set aside time each day for prayer.

2021-09-04T21:26:00.000-04:00

Begin your quiet time by relaxing your body

opening your mind to an awareness of God.

Breathe Deeply,

knowing that you are in the presence of God and

The presence of God is within you.

Let go of your concerns and

know that all is well.

Love The highest of all....

2021-09-04T20:43:00.000-04:00

When one's whole being is saturated with the idea of love from head to foot, then every pore of the body becomes alive to cosmic consciousness...

The highest of all religions and all practices is love.

-H.H.S. Swami Rama-

“The prime means to end the dysfunctional dynamics of the human family is to introduce a change in all minds through an education that instills a sense of peace, so that the basic urge and peace may find its fullest expression and satisfaction.”

Swami Veda Bharati, (The Human Urge for Peace), P. 121
