The Theme for January 2026:
The real purpose of your life is to express the creation of God (Myrtle Fillmore)
Myrtle Fillmore: A Spiritual Spark
Myrtle Fillmore’s spiritual experience was the catalyst and foundation for the Unity spiritual movement, which she founded with her husband Charles in 1889. The couple wanted to share the spiritual principles they learned as Myrtle healed her body of lifelong maladies using prayer, meditation, and the power of her thoughts and words.
Lessons From Myrtle
Unite All Areas of Your Life
Myrtle believed there are three realms that must be addressed for healing to occur. “Daily, declare that your spiritual life and world, your mental life and world and your physical life and world are unified and that you are expressing harmoniously the ideas of the Christ Mind on these three planes.”
Have Immense Faith That You Can Be Healed
When asked what restored her vigorous health, Myrtle stated, “It was a change of mind from the old, carnal mind that believes in sickness to the Christ Mind of life and permanent health. I applied spiritual laws effectively, blessing my body temple until it manifested the innate health of Spirit.”
Turn Inward
Myrtle taught that God is inside each person. “Sometimes we pray to a God outside of ourselves. It is the God in the midst of us that frees and heals. … You need to think of God, the all-powerful Healer, as being already within you, in every part of your mind, heart, and body.”
Be Optimistic
Positive thoughts help replace old ways of thinking and quicken healing. “Prayer is an exercise to change our thought habits and our living habits. … When some of our thought energy is expended in negative beliefs and feelings … we get those old negative results.”
Rest Every Day
Myrtle noted that times of rest and rejuvenation feed the soul. “A period of quiet and rest each day is your opportunity to establish yourself at the centre of your being, the one place where the supply of life and substance is inexhaustible.”
