How I Used The Truth
"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
Contents - Foreword - Why? - Finding the Christ in Ourselves - Neither Do I Condemn Thee - In His Name - Loose Him and Let Him Go - All-Sufficiency in All Things - God's Hand - If Thou Knewest - Trusting and Resting - The Spoken Word - Oneness with God - Unadulterated Truth - Question Helps
These questions are to be used in connection with the study of How I Used Truth. Each student should study his lesson with these questions before him. It is a very good practice to write out the answers and bring them to the class. Each student should recite as often as possible, but should not monopolize the class period. Every member of the class should have opportunity to express his realization on any subject. These questions need not necessarily be answered, but may be used to call attention to the central idea contained in the paragraph under consideration. A class should not cover more than five questions at a meeting. Remember, never argue! Keep to the subject! Be considerate of everyone's ideas! Your purpose is to find Truth.
