Summary up to 500 words

In 'The Twelve Powers of Man,' Charles Fillmore presents a systematic metaphysical approach to spiritual regeneration, arguing that humanity can evolve from a mortal state to a divine one through the conscious development of twelve specific faculties. Fillmore interprets Biblical figures and events, such as the lives of Jesus, Joseph, and Abraham, as metaphysical symbols for the unfolding of these powers within the human organism. He posits that the subconscious mind contains twelve centers of action, each presided over by a specific faculty represented by one of Jesus's apostles. These powers include Faith, Strength, Judgment, Love, Power, Imagination, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Renunciation, and Generative Life. The text explains that just as an industrial plant requires department heads to function efficiently, the human soul requires these twelve powers to operate in harmony with Divine Mind. Fillmore emphasizes that regeneration is not a miracle but a gradual process of refining the 'man of flesh' into the 'man of Spirit.' He warns against using these powers for selfish gain, such as wealth or control, noting that such misuse leads to destruction. Instead, the book advocates for unselfish devotion, prayer, and meditation to release the dynamic energy stored in the body's cells. Through the application of these principles, readers are invited to overcome death, sickness, and the limitations of the material world, ultimately achieving a state of consciousness where they sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel, mirroring the resurrected Christ. Fillmore illustrates that Jesus was the 'first-fruits' of those coming out of the mortal into the immortal, demonstrating mastery over body cells and the ability to release stored electronic energy. He teaches that the twelve powers function below and above the conscious mind, requiring the awakening of the subconscious through the superconscious or Christ Mind. The book details how each apostle corresponds to a specific nerve center and faculty, guiding the reader through the development of these attributes to attain eternal life in the body here and now, transforming the caterpillar-like natural man into the glorious butterfly of the spiritual realm.
