God Mind — By the term Mind, we mean God — the Universal Principle, which includes all Principles. (Fillmore, Charles, The Revealing Word listed alphabetically)
WE ARE STUDYING spiritual science to get a broader conception of God, rather than holding to the view that He is a personal being with parts like man, a being subject to change and capable of varying moods. God is IT , neither male nor female, but Principle. (Fillmore, Myrtle, How to Let God Help You , Ch 4, first paragraph)

Truth [Principle and Law] abides in fullness at the very core of people's beingness. As awareness expands, People “touch” the everlasting Truth – Principle and Law. What seems new is but the growing awareness of THAT which always has been. (Adapted, Fillmore, Charles, The Revealing Word , p. 200)

Cause and Effect Cause and effect are not separated in mind. “In Spirit, cause and effect are one. They appear as one, … In mind, all things reach fruition the very instant they are conceived.” (Fillmore, Charles, Keep a True Lent , p. 46)
Law of Divine Order People can never exercise dominion until they know who and What they are and, knowing, brings forth that knowledge into the external by exercising it in Divine Order, which is mind, idea, and manifestation. (mind, idea, expression) (Adapted, Fillmore, Charles, Twelve Powers , p. 113)
Law of Mind Action Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind. Thoughts/feelings held in mind produce more thoughts/feelings of the same kind in mind.
Law of Expression We must learn the law of expression from the abstract to the concrete — from the formless to the formed. (Fillmore, Charles, Christian Healing , p. 38)
