The 12 Powers

Charles Fillmore, cofounder of the Unity Movement, wrote: “Inherent in the Mind of Being are 12 fundamental ideas, which in action appear as primal creative forces. It is possible for a person to ally with and to use these original forces and thereby cooperate with the creative law, but in order to do this he or she must detach from the forces and enter into the consciousness of the idea lying back of them” (The Twelve Powers, p. 52). ​Rev. Fillmore identified these “primal creative forces” as: Love, Imagination, Power, Judgment, Understanding, Zeal, Elimination, Faith, Life, Order, Will and Strength. This lesson will cover the powers of Faith, Strength and Judgment. ​By understanding these powers, we can engage them in such a way as to help us on our spiritual journey.
