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

WANDERING over this big little world, and studying the people in many lands, one must be impressed with the vast preponderance of living dead creatures, who cumber the earth with their bodies, and rob the air of its oxygen, and disturb the silence with their complaints.
People whose minds are dead to every thought save the needs of the body; whose souls are asleep so soundly that they are deaf to the call continually sounding through space to each immortal spirit on every sphere --- the call come higher --- and whose bodies are, in consequence, sources of discomfort, pain, misery and disease, or else of trivial worry.
With thoughts bound to the wheel of physical anxieties, the days go around and around, and their minds rise never beyond what to eat, what to wear, what to do to find amusement, what to do to "get even" with somebody for a fancied wrong, or to "get ahead" of a rival; how to get well of this and that ailment; what to take to obtain personal strength; and, for a slight variation of thought, how to make a fortune in a hurry.
For mental recreation, they indulge in criticisms of others who have erred, who have fallen by the wayside, or who have risen too high upon the wave of fortune.
There are thousands, and tens of thousands --- yes, millions --- of such people on earth.
Are you one of these?
