This is a chapter from a 1949 metaphysical-Christian treatise by Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity Church, working squarely within the New Thought tradition. Its central argument is that the Holy Spirit is a universal creative Mind-force that each person can consciously access by mentally aligning with the "Christ Mind" — the spiritual identity Fillmore claims is imprinted in every individual at creation. Through affirmations, prayer, and deliberate mental focus, readers are told they can draw on this inner substance to produce healing, physical rejuvenation, and material prosperity. A distinctively bold claim running throughout is that disease germs are not natural phenomena but the physical manifestations of negative mental states such as anger, jealousy, and fear — and that shifting one's mind to love and courage literally changes the character of those germs. Fillmore also argues that persistent spiritual acknowledgment of the Christ within can allow a person to overcome aging and ultimately attain eternal life as Jesus did. The overall tone is instructional and confident, presenting metaphysical mind-power not as mysticism but as a learnable, lawful science of consciousness.
