The Saving Christ Consciousness

In 1931 Charles Fillmore delivered a lesson titled.The Saving Christ Consciousness. 

Here is a quote from the lesson.

"Live, as Jesus lived, in Spirit and in Truth. 

Make that close contact with infinite mind, 

and you will find that infinite mind will respond to your every thought, 

and you will realize more and more that

 you are the image and likeness of God."
