Christ Enthroned in Man — Front Matter

FOREWORD

These exercises are supplementary to Charles Fillmore’s book The Twelve Powers of Man and instruct the readers of that book how to apply the principles therein laid down, and how to awaken within the body, through the action of the mind, the undeveloped or sleeping faculties.

All students of the body temple agree that we are using but a small part of its innate capacity. All students of the mind agree that we are using only a very, very small portion of our mind power. These exercises are for the purpose of developing and bringing into action the wonderful latent possibilities, which will ultimate in a complete union of soul and body. This is the regeneration taught and demonstrated by Jesus Christ.

The book The Twelve Powers of Man, by Charles Fillmore, undoubtedly affords the greatest key to logical and rational expression of spiritual man that has ever been given to the public. The adepts of the Orient have in symbol and secret formula revealed to students the possibilities of the soul, and how through years of asceticism and withdrawal from the practical side of life this superman can be developed.

The advanced scientists of today are recognizing as fundamental truths that the mind of man expresses itself through brain cells and that the brain cells with their nerve aggregations move the body and the world without. Sir James Jeans, the eminent British scientist, says in substance that it may be that the gods that determine our fate are our own mind working on our brain cells and through them on the world about us.

Blind persons who use the Braille system develop “cells” in their fingertips similar in character to the white and grey brain cells found in the head, showing that the mind does form vehicles through which it does its intelligent work in the body. So we find that as the mind incorporates ideas from the one divine source it enlarges its brain area and gives increased mental and spiritual ability to the whole man.

This process continued will transform every cell in the organism into brain cells and thus man will be transformed from flesh and blood into the glory of radiant mind. As Jesus Christ was transfigured on the mount before His disciples, so we shall be transfigured in our high understanding and become manifest sons of God.

The evidence of this palpable truth is found on every side, and is now, in The Twelve Powers of Man by Mr. Fillmore and in this book of exercises, being scientifically worked out. The fact is that the lives of Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles were a symbolical demonstration of the unfoldment of the twelve faculties of man, which we are interpreting in terms of physiology and psychology as co-operating with the supermind or the anointed of God.

All that is necessary is for the student of this book to take and apply the word given to the body centers as.directed chapter by chapter. The results will be a definite transformation of the latent faculties dormant in the so-called physical organism.

The body is composed of trillions of cells, waiting for the mind to stir them into spiritual activity that they may become obedient servants of Christ.

Outline of the Twelve Powers of Man

The twelve powers of man or twelve fundamental faculties of the mind are represented in the Scriptures by the twelve sons of Jacob, the twelve apostles of Jesus, the twelve gates of the Temple, and many other symbols.

Physiology has located in the body of man twelve dominant brain or nerve centers that correspond with the twelve powers or spiritual faculties. The diagram on the preceding page gives in rough out-line the location of these centers, which may be designated as follows:

• I am—Christ—top brain.
• Faith—Peter—center of brain.
• Strength—Andrew—loins.
• Wisdom or judgment—James, son of Zebedee—pit of stomach.
• Love—John—back of heart.
• Power—Philip—root of tongue.
• Imagination—Bartholomew—between the eyes.
• Understanding—Thomas—front brain.
• Will—Matthew—center front brain.
• Order—James, son of Alphaeus—navel.
• Zeal—Simon the Canaanite—back head, medulla.
• Elimination—Thaddaeus—lower part of back.
• Life—Judas—generative function.
