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

—weaves for me so many yards of broadcloth per diem (my ordinary vital processes). If I want any pattern more complex, I have to shout my orders in the din of the factory, where only two or three inferior workmen hear me, and shift their looms in a small and scattered way. . . . At certain intervals, indeed, the foreman stops most of the looms, and uses the freed power to stoke the engine and to oil the machinery. This, in my metaphor, is sleep."

It is during these quiet hours of rest that the soul receives many of its choicest messages. Therefore the wise man cultivates that kind of sleep which is most in harmony with meditative listening. In this way the power of equanimity grows until, more and more, the subconscious life becomes part of the life of the Spirit. Into its precincts there come with growing frequency the peace, love, and guidance of the omnipresent Father. Thus ever more and more the spontaneous revelations of this most wonderful of all human functions become bearers of divine wisdom and messengers of divine power.
