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)

changing physical Matter – things Events Space Time Measurable

changing realm constants and laws of science …

Everything in the physical universe is based on non- empirical forms that are like thought existing in something that is mind-like.

Principle 5

Knowing and understanding the Laws of Life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live the truth that he or she knows.

(From Keys to the Kingdom by Rev. Connie Fillmore Bazzy)

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)

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 Mind Action

We must learn the law of expression from the abstract to the concrete— from the formless to the formed.
