Science of Mind

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought from Abrahamic to Vedic. New Thought literature reflects the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy presents a dramatic contrast with the magical thinking of decadent religions that promulgate supersticions standing in the way of progress to shared peace and prosperity." ~ Avalon de Rossett

the words of relation under this pregnant notion. Under existence are shaped some of the primary axioms of logic; A is A, A is not not-A, A is or is not. In the development of resemblance, we meet with agreement, disagreement, antithesis; and under number with unity, plurality, totality equality. In connection with causation and time, we have succession, continuity, identity, action and reaction. Identity here means the oneness of a substance or a form with itself.

Identity, as the complete correspondence of a thought with a thought, arises under resemblance and spontaneity. Under space we have quantity, and under causation and space we have the subordinate notions of substance, actuality, necessity, fate; and under consciousness and spontaneity, possibility, liberty, chance as an event not ordered in reference to an end. Under truth, beauty and right, appear the secondary ideas of the false, the imperfect, the wrong; and on the other side, the perfect. With the infinite arises its correlative, the finite. We do not strive to give all these subordinate forms, but simply to indicate a few of them and their relation to primary ideas.

We subjoin the categories of Kant:

		Unity,
Quantity.	<	Plurality,
		Totality.

		Affirmation agreement.
Quality.	<	Negation disagreement.
		Limitation partial agreement.

		Substance internal relation.
Relation.	<	Causality dependence.
		Reciprocity external relation.

		Possibility,
Modality.	<	Actuality,
		Necessity.
