New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

Any woman who is not improved as a daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and friend, by her religion, has not found the path that leads to the highest development of her character.

Hundreds of men and women in our midst are striving to attain powers which will enable them to reach above this every day plane of consciousness, and to see and hear what is transpiring in psychic realms.

Insanity, divorce, broken homes and broken minds, frequently result from these foolish endeavors to become "adepts."
