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

is willing to lose himself, is most likely to win immortality, if it is in any sense to be had for the winning.

For it is the Christ-spirit that bringeth eternal life to light, and that spirit comes in its fulness only when man is most absorbed in the great work of the universe and least concerned for himself. In the far inward world of the soul, that pure spirit speaketh. It comes to bless. It comes to sustain, to inspire, and to restore. He who lowly listens there shall hear its gentle messages. He who is faithful to these promptings need not give the future an anxious thought. Receptivity, trust, and co-operation, these are the three essentials from the human side. They prepare the way for all that the race has need of. They bring all that any man deserves.

"When my time comes. may I so gently pass
I shall not stir this life-round wonderful,
Like flicker of soft wind o'er summer grass
Or dip of pebble dropped in some deep pool.

"Lament me not, beloved, shed no tear
Because of cession of the finite powers;
Lay only happy thoughts upon my bier,
And hope and love, which are immortal flowers

"Knowing I have departed not, but thus
Do but assume a finer medium
To make a little space more luminous
For thy dear feet to tread when thou dost come."
