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.

In 1922 the first Unity Radio talk was given by Charles Fillmore over station WOQ in Kansas City in the middle of the night.

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

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.

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!”

On Easter Sunday when greeted with:

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

and know

All things are possible!
