New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

There is something poetic and beautiful about it.

Without question the habit has been helpful in bringing the minds of religious devotees under control, and developing the power of concentration.

New Thought, which takes its central ideas of the unity of life and the divinity within from the oldest religions known to history, can be made still more potent by the introduction of the rosary idea.

No beads are necessary; written phrases will serve the purpose; and let each earnest soul, seeking to find the light and to develop the latent powers within, provide its own rosary.

Are you discouraged and given to melancholy and nervous moods? Do you feel that everything goes against you, and that the future holds nothing but sorrow for you?

Then let this be your rosary. Write down the phrases and put them where you can see them as you sit alone for your moments of concentration. "String your beads" of these sentences:
