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.

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.

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.

 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. 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.

 "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, Eulogy

“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.”
