Spiritual Power and Color
 "The subconscious realm has twelve great centers of action, with twelve presiding egos or entities. When Jesus Christ had attained a certain soul development, He called His twelve disciples to Him. This means that when man is developing out of mere personal consciousness into spiritual consciousness, he begins to train deeper and larger powers; he sends his thought down into the inner centers of his being, and through his word quickens them to life. Where before his powers have worked in the personal, now they begin to expand and work in the universal. This is the first and second coming of Christ, spoken of in the Scriptures. The first coming is the receiving of Truth into the conscious mind, and the second coming is the awakening and the regeneration of the subconscious through the superconscious or Christ Mind."
-- Charles S. Fillmore in The Twelve Powers of Man

| Explanation | "Love is from God, and it is given to man in its virgin purity. It is the pure essence of Being that binds together the whole human family." -- Charles Fillmore Love is one of the divine feminine powers. It binds us together in many ways. There is the love of a mother or father. There is a love for a spouse. There is love for close friends. But the truth is that there is one Love at the root of all these others, and that is Spiritual Love. Being of the feminine, or feeling, nature, words cannot do Love justice, for words are masculine, intellectual. Charles Fillmore stated that the scientific term for love is "gravity," because it holds us all together. But Love does not come alone. In the scriptures, John was the brother of James, who represents the spiritual power of Wisdom. These were the sons of Zebedee, which means "thunder." Spiritual Love married to and quickened with Spiritual Wisdom helps keep our love pure and our giving and receiving of love free from base motives. |

| Poems | "Call it not, love, for Love to heaven is fled,
Since sweating Lust on earth usurp'd his name;
Under whose simple semblance he hath fed
Upon fresh beauty, blotting it with blame;
Which the hot tyrant stains and soon bereaves,
As caterpillars do the tender leaves.
"Love comforteth like sunshine after rain,
But Lust's effect is tempest after sun;
Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain,
Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done.
Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies;
Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies."
--Shakespeare, from Venus and Adonis, Lines 793-804

Unity® is celebrating the Twelve Powers here: http://www.unity.org/twelvepowers/. Among other things, they may have educational articles, meditations, inspiring prayers, helpful affirmations, and music. Because they are going in a slightly different order of the Twelve Powers, their power of the month is Strength, which will be ours in March.
You can sign Up for Unity's new 12 Power Webinar 13-week series, which starts on 23 FEB 2010. (It is on the Unity FM Website, so it will open a new window.)
If you have affirmations or other contributions for this month's power, please feel free to send them to the Webmaster.
