Prosperity

by Charles Fillmore

Overview

2012 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book is designed as a series of twelve lessons. In each of the lessons the author has attempted to explain man's lawful appropriation of the supplies spiritually and electrically provided by God. When we understand and adjust our mind to the realm or kingdom where these rich ideas and their electrical thought forms exist, we shall experience in our temporal affairs what is called "Prosperity." Born in 1854 on an Indian reservation near St. Cloud, Minnesota, Charles Fillmore spent much of his early life unsuccessfully speculating on real estate and traveling the country seeking a cure for his wife Myrtle's tuberculosis before cofounding the New Thought-based Unity movement with her. Their popular magazine, "Unity," was first published in 1891. The Unity movement eventually oversaw multiple magazines and sponsored publications. Fillmore died in 1948.

About the Author

Charles Sherlock Fillmore was born on August 22, 1854, and died on July 5, 1948. He and his wife, Myrtle Page Fillmore, started the New Thought church Unity in 1889. He became known as an American mystic because of what he did to help spiritualists understand the Bible. Fillmore worked to get people to become vegetarians for 30 years of his life. Fillmore broke his hip while ice skating when he was ten years old. This caused him to have problems for the rest of his life. Even though he didn't have much schooling, he read works by William Shakespeare, Lord Tennyson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Charles Lowell in his early years. He also read books about spiritualism, Eastern religions, and philosophy. In the middle of the 1870s, he met Mary Caroline "Myrtle" Page, who would become his wife. They met in Denison, Texas. He went to Gunnison, Colorado, when he lost his job there. There, he worked in mining and real estate. On March 29, 1881, they got married in Clinton, Missouri. The newlyweds went to Pueblo, Colorado, where Charles started a real estate business with the brother-in-law of Nona L. Brooks, who later started the Church of Divine Science.
