a positive path for spiritual living

The Twelve Powers

Each of us has 12 creative powers that are fundamental to us. These are aspects of the nature of the Divine.

Understanding the true potential of these creative energies and how to engage their power leads to living a richly blessed life.

Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore, who was strongly influenced by the Transcendental movement, went on a committed spiritual search. It led him to Eastern spirituality, which he integrated with the Christianity of his upbringing. He created the 12-power system more than a century ago.

Based on the reality of the divine spark within all people, Fillmore used the disciples of Jesus as exemplars of the 12 powers:

Faith | Strength | Wisdom | Love | Power | Imagination | Understanding | Will | Order | Zeal | Release | Life
