Marvin Anderson was one of Unity’s
most insightful metaphysicians. He was an independent
thinker who had a deep understanding of Truth principles and was
able to clearly, and often humorously, explain how the
principles can be applied in everyday experiences. This CD set
is filled with ideas that motivate soul growth and provoke
reflection. It is also filled with helpful ideas for applying
principles for a more satisfying life experience. I highly
recommend “The 12 Soul Powers” to all serious Truth students.

Marvin’s lectures on “The 12 Powers” and
his deep understanding of the Fillmore metaphysics are an
inspiration to me. It is a joy to know these traditions are
being carried forward through his CD’s. I highly recommend
these lessons for the serious student and those moving to a
higher expression of spirituality. I bless my dear friend for
the work he has done as a legacy for those to follow.

Marvin
is truly one of those people who was before his time.
His wisdom, vast spiritual awareness, and willingness to put his
theories to the test enabled him to connect on a deep soul
level. If a student was willing and ready, the words he spoke
would land right where they were needed in order to be a
catalyst and speed up soul growth. These CD’s will insure he is
still with us and will continue to serve as one of the greatest
facilitators of soul growth in the 21st century.

Marvin Anderson presents
the consummate exploration of Charles Fillmore’s great spiritual
concept, The 12 Powers of Man. He goes deeper than anyone who
has ever tried to tackle this subject, and takes the powers to a
whole new dimension of meaning. Yet he presents the series in a
simple straightforward manner and weaves concrete practicality
into abstract theory. He takes us on a spiritual journey
to the very core of ourselves. This set is required study for
both the advanced student of metaphysics and the novice who is
trying to understand one of Unity’s most important teachings.

Marvin was one of the great souls of
our time. He was a man of brilliant insights. He was a
colleague and a friend. He also had a fun-loving, “rascally”
way about him. I loved all of those aspects of this man. I
find these lessons to be extraordinary expositions of deep
metaphysical truths. The CD’s could be used for group or
individual study. They are a welcome addition to my personal
library and will be a great help in my sermon and class
preparation. I know that every seeker of metaphysical wisdom
will be richly blessed by the ideas that come through Marvin,
one of the deepest thinkers and finest teachers of our time.

Marvin
Anderson was one of New Thought’s outstanding teachers
and one of the very clearest on the teachings of The 12 Powers.
Rev.
Howard Caesar
Unity Church of Christianity
Houston, Texas
Marvin, his wife Kathryn, and I were
classmates at Unity Seminary. He inspired me with his
understanding of esoteric Christianity and the Bible;
impressed me with his broad knowledge of almost everything; and
entertained me with his keen wit and insight into human nature.
In these lessons on The 12 Soul Powers, Marvin is at his best.
He has taken this concept to a new level of spiritual insight
and practical application. Marvin had a keen intellect, a
voracious curiosity, and a deep, rich inner life. In this
brilliant series, he shares some of this with you, the
listener. Alas, not nearly enough!
Rev.
Marilyn Roth
Unity Church of Pasadena, California
There is a big difference between
“knowing the way” of the 12 Soul Powers and “going the way” to
their fullest expression. Engaging these lessons as presented
by Marvin empowers us to “know the way” more deeply and to “go
the way” more effectively than we ever have before. Thank
God! And thanks, Marvin, for leaving this legacy of Truth
and the way to its demonstration in our lives.

Marvin was the most important Unity
teacher of my life. The things I learned as his student in
ministerial school have been a primary cornerstone of the work
in ministry that has unfolded through me over the years.
Marvin was a beloved master teacher. He was a prophet, a
scholar, a mystic and most simply, one who walked with God. I
am so grateful that some of his work is preserved now on these
CD’s for generations to come.

Unity Church of Tustin, California
Marvin was not only my favorite teacher in seminary; he was also
my faculty advisor. As I listened to these CD’s, I felt
transported back to his classes. He was the clear and
passionate teacher I always wanted to be and still do. He
never failed to challenge us to stay conscious (awake), question
everything, think beyond boundaries, and never compromise our
spiritual integrity. I have been with many excellent spiritual
teachers in my lifetime, and Marvin is the one I refer to and
quote most often. He made a huge difference in the way we teach
and practice ministry.
Rev.
Michael Moran
Spiritual Life Center
Sacramento, California
Not since Eric Butterworth have
the metaphysical ideas of New Thought been so clearly and
effectively communicated. These CD’s are indeed a
blessing, and will inspire Truth students for years
to come. Marvin is a treasure. A big mahalo (thank you) to all
who made this project possible.

Rev.
Marvin Anderson was one of my great teachers. He
inspired me to look at the world with a greater spiritual
vision. I have gone back to his teachings over and over again
in my life, and I know you will enjoy this CD collection.
Rev. Richard Rogers
Unity of Phoenix, Arizona
Rev. Anderson, foremost authority on
metaphysics and spirituality, has been a guiding light for
many in Unity and the New Thought movement. He continually
encouraged those who studied with him to make metaphysics
practical and applicable in everyday life. His CD’s are
constant reminders that spiritual principles can and must be
lived day by day.
Rev.
Nancy Norman
Unity of Delray Beach, Florida
"Marvin's unique, practical teachings
are clear and appropriate for anyone wishing to manifest a
creative venture. He has been an inspiration in my work and a
great help in creating an extraordinary life."
Danny Guillaume, CEO,
Historical Xperiences
"Rev. Anderson had a unique ability to effectively
communicate ideas, balancing his incredible knowledge of
metaphysical principles with his understanding of the
intricacies of human nature. He knew how to get right to the
heart of the matter, speaking on the mysteries of life in a
way that challenged the intellect and stirred the soul, while
encouraging spiritual growth. Marvin's teachings on the
creative process had a direct influence on my songwriting, and
continue to inspire me in all areas of life."
Jennie Emery, Musician &
Songwriter
“Rev. Anderson was always on the leading edge of exploring
consciousness, and yet his teachings were profound and
accessible. He opened the mystical miracles in a way that can
be lived in daily life, and he consistently challenged us to
have our spiritual practices make a real difference. As a
person, Marvin embodied integrity, presence and faith, and an
irreverent sense of humour. He regularly took on sacred cows…
and with his humour, he challenged us to look deeper.”
Barbara Richards, Unity of
Vancouver Board President, professional and personal coach,

“Rev. Marvin Anderson was a theologian, a philosopher, a
metaphysician, an artist, a storyteller, a stand-up comic; a
lover of art, music, literature and nature; he was a magician,
a wizard, an alchemist, and he was a devoted family man.”
