Horatio W. Dresser's

Education and the Philosophical Ideal

"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

Thus the new point of view is synthetic in a sense which no one will fully appreciate until society shall have advanced a few stages further. Then mankind will awaken to knowledge of the fact that there is a profound harmony not only between the processes of natural evolution, the activities of individual and social life, but between all these phases of development and that which we call the spiritual, that in reality the entire process is spiritual. Until then there is every reason to specialise in each of these departments, so that physical, individual, ethical, social, and religious evolution may be carried to the full, unconsciously contributing — while seeming to be struggling for separate existence—to the coming unity in the higher social state of the Spirit, in which all hostile differences shall be dissolved.
