Mysteries of Genesis - Paperback

by Charles Fillmore (Author)

2014 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Charles Sherlock Fillmore (1854 -1948) founded Unity, a church within the New Thought movement, with his wife, Myrtle Page Fillmore, in 1889. He became known as an American mystic for his contributions to spiritualist interpretations of biblical Scripture. In this work he attempts a metaphysical textbook on Genesis, the world's best known but perhaps, according to Fillmore, its least understood allegory. It deals with the highlights of Genesis, omitting genealogies and such matters as would interest those trying to establish an historical interpretation. The study is designed to show the origin of man as a perfect image or idea in Divine Mind; how this I AM image, called Jehovah God, forms the man idea into the man manifest, and how this man manifest must eventually become conscious both of his divine origin and his divine potentiality to become the God-man idea manifest, or the Christ.
