Simon the Canaanite
He represents motivation and the desire to accomplish great things.

ZEAL
Zeal is not the fire
that burns us up.
It is the sacred fire
that gets us moving.

An Orange Twelve-Rayed
Spiral Sun-Mandala.
At its very center is a brilliant point of orange-white light representing the I AM—pure consciousness before movement. From that point emerges a spiral. The spiral is important because zeal does not merely repeat itself in a circle; it moves outward, taking consciousness into a larger experience

At its very center is a brilliant point of orange-white light representing the I AM—pure consciousness before movement. From that point emerges a spiral. The spiral is important because zeal does not merely repeat itself in a circle; it moves outward, taking consciousness into a larger experience. Each revolution represents another expression of the original divine impulse.

Location is
Fillmore places Simon/Zeal at the base of the brain in the medulla oblongata and describes it as supplying energy into sensory and nervous activity. His physiological claims belong to his metaphysical system rather than modern medical neuroscience, but the symbolic insight is fascinating: Zeal stands near the place where conscious life meets many automatic bodily processes.

Fillmore describes zeal as the “impulse to go forward”—the inner dynamic that supplies enthusiasm, momentum, and the desire to accomplish. Unity summarizes it as the inner flame that moves us toward purposeful achievement.

Orange is especially appropriate because it visually occupies the territory between red and yellow.
Within the Twelve Powers symbolism, red is associated with Life, while yellow is associated with Wisdom/Judgment.
Metaphysically, we can therefore interpret orange as the marriage of life-energy and intelligent direction.
Red + Yellow = Orang

That is an interpretive synthesis rather than a statement Fillmore himself formally wrote as a color equation, but it beautifully expresses the function he assigned to Zeal.
Orange is not passive. It catches the eye. It resembles flame, sunrise, glowing embers, autumn transformation, citrus, and the warmth of the sun. Psychologically it naturally communicates visibility, warmth, motion, and vitality.
