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

here, beneath the pines and far from the noise and confusion of city life. The earth and trees have been washed clean by a fresh rain, and all Nature welcomes the glad sunlight in anticipation of the beauties of the day. And so we assemble here to await the new revelations of that great Light which shines upon an from the spiritual world, making ourselves receptive in community of desire and oneness of spirit, that we may in every way be mutually helpful as we study the laws and problems of the higher education.

I have not called you here in a spirit of leadership. As every soul differs from all other souls, and as every experience is rich in messages of its own, so the point of view of each one present necessarily differs from that of every other. We are here to receive the light each may throw on our common problems. The truth, we believe, is so large and deep that it somehow needs us all. Therefore, all leadership is absorbed in and transcended by the spirit of equality, the only spirit in which all may meet to fullest advantage.

We have agreed to study life in the making; it is making in the minds of each of us to-day. Let us investigate, then, with minds as open and free as if we had never speculated, surely as free as if we had received no theoretical inheritance from the past.

My only thought in appointing myself the first speaker is to make a beginning, which most of course be made by some one, in the formulation of the issues before us.
