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

Every child comes into the world strongly impressed by the prenatal condition surrounding the mother.

Science has proven that the poorly nourished and ill-fed mother produces an anemic and weakly child, and that drinking mothers produce diseased or abnormal children. In countries where great poverty exists, and where women are the burden bearers, the race is almost always undersized.

The accumulation of proofs that the thoughts of the mother affect the child before birth is overwhelming. Physically and psychically the mother's part in making her child what it proves to be is so great that it borders close upon omnipotence. Napoleon's mother read histories of war and was fired with the conquests of great warriors before his birth.
