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

Occasional gatherings of those who are interested to start other centres on a similar basis.

One ideal in all departments: the expression of the Spirit through the individual soul.

One method the law of spiritual unfolding from within.

One test: harmony with the inner promptings of the Spirit, unfettered by personal leadership, financial considerations, influential advice, or personal ambition.

As a practical application of the educational and philosophical ideal of this book, let us suppose that a beginning has been made in the development of a conference such as above suggested. A company of people is assembled under a group of pines on a beautiful New England hillside, overlooking a peaceful valley. There are clergymen, teachers, authors, artists, musicians, and those who can be classified only as independent truth-seekers. No one has been persuaded to come. All have met with a common interest to discuss the problems of life, because they have accepted the above ideal; and no one has come with the belief that his particular theory is the truth, while others possess only opinions. The meeting is the first of the session, and, as we take our places and listen, is being addressed by the truth-seeker who called the conference together.

This beautiful new day is typical, my friends, of the great purpose which has brought us together
