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

filled with fresh air. During the daily promenade, inhale while taking seven steps, and think of the seven most important qualities you would wish your child to possess, such as goodness, health, wisdom, talent, beauty, affection, influence.

With each breath believe you are inhaling one of these qualities from God's great reservoir for your child.

Then exhale slowly, and repeat the exercise until slightly weary.

Avoid thinking of any one you do not like, or dwelling on disagreeable or annoying events.

When depressed moods come, get out in the open air and begin your breathing exercises.

Think of all the noble people who have made the world better for living in it, and ask at your library for books about the great philanthropists and philosophers, poets, painters and artists.

Cultivate a reverent state of mind --- look at the stars, and realize how grand and glorious is this universe, and how wonderful the Creator who conceived and carried out the design. Worship Him with all your heart, and remember that your child is a reflection of Him, and believe that you are to be the mother' of one of God's own kin.

Thank Him hourly for the great privilege of motherhood, and let no worry or anxiety regarding the future depress you. Say, --- I am that most sacred thing on earth, an expectant mother --- I am chosen by God for a great work --- and all will be well with me.

If you keep in this frame of mind, all will be well with you and with your child.
