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

He must speak for the Spirit, not for the congregation. If not moved to make a prayer or preach a sermon, let him declare the presence of the Spirit as seems most fitting at the time. If he can no longer read the service or repeat the creed, let these pass.

There is a prayer which no words can utter, there is a sermon no lips can preach, a service which never assumed a visible form. It is the aspiration of the soul, the power of a dedicated life, the presence of quickening love. When that power speaks through the soul, although it finds no utterance in words, it reaches far and wide. When that power speaks, all men and women, of whatever creed, listen. When that power speaks, there is no question in regard to the effect of one's doctrine, no doubt whether one shall be provided with daily bread. Obstacles vanish, persecution ceases, critics are silenced, all the world gives ear. For, when that power speaks, the Spirit speaks.

My friends, the Spirit really lives. It is here. It knows our needs. It can conquer all things. Only seek it. Only dedicate your souls to its spontaneous revelation.

We must live a simple life if we would be that quickened. There must be ample time for unpremeditated
