Myrtle Fillmore, Mother of Unity, gave Hopkins the most credit: The influence of

Emma Curtis Hopkins on the Fillmore’s during the last few years of the nineteenth

century cannot be overstated.

Mr. and Mrs. Fillmore enrolled in a study course in Chicago with Mrs. Hopkins.

On June 1, 1891, both Myrtle and Charles Fillmore were ordained.

The Fillmores and Emma kept up a correspondence for the next thirty years.

Myrtle Fillmore said, "I know of no other writings which mean so much to me as

Emma’s do."

“She is undoubtedly the most successfulteacher in the world.

In many instances those who enterher classes confirmed invalids come

out at the end of the classes perfectly well”

Rev. Charles Fillmore, 1895

“ Her very presence heals and thosewho listen are filled with new life.

Never before on this planet have suchburning Truth been so eloquently

spoken through a woman.”

Rev. Charles Fillmore, 1895

Chapter 1 – Statement of Being

There are 12 lessons taught by the Mater/Teacher. We will study all 12

through these 12 chapters.

What is everyone & everything in the Universe seeking?

Chapter 1 – Statement of Being

Their Good.

Therefore the Good that youare seeking is your God.

Chapter 1 – Statement of Being

“My Good is my God!”

Chapter 1 – Statement of Being

Use this simple statement:

“ I am seeking my Good,and my Good is my God.”

Chapter 1 – Statement of Being

“Acknowledge me in all your ways”

To acknowledge God is to admit we are seeking our Good

Chapter 1 – Statement of Being

The hidden statement:

“ There is Good for meand I ought to have it.”

Lily speaks - Good is it’s Free Life

Say mentally, “The Good there are seeking is their God, and

God is Free Health”

“The Good I’m seeking is unlimited Strength”

“The Good I’m seeking is unlimited Wealth”

“The Good I’m seeking is unconditional Love”

“The Good I’m seeking is unlimited Joy”

“The Good I’m seeking is total Protection”

“The Good I’m seeking is Intelligence”

“The Good I’m seeking is Truth”

To expect Good and to be verydefinite in the mind that it

IS coming,

Is to see it coming.

All Truth is waiting for youto say plainly what is

your Good.

Your Statement of Being

Naming all your Good.

1. Write out all your Good2. Think all your Good3. Speak all your Good

That will be naming God

God is not slow in coming intothe life of the one that

names their Good.

God works only in Truth

By speaking Truth you areSpirit, and by speaking

Truth you are

Omnipotent!
