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.

Read about the Medicis, Catharine of Russia, Cleopatra, Napoleon, the doges of Venice, the queens of England, the kings of France and the famous and infamous women who ruled their courts --- and, after you have read, think about the poor little fleeting time of glory mixed with misery which these people enjoyed.

They were all eaten up with fear, jealousy, rivalries and hatred. Fathers and sons, mothers and sons, became enemies when personal ambition stood between them; enemies to the death. Charles V. of Spain was a party to the murder of his own son; Cleopatra led an army against her son; Nero plotted to kill his own mother, and a hundred instances could be cited where men and women famous in the annals of history as great rulers connived at the murder or imprisonment of their own next of kin in order to retain or obtain a little fleeting temporal power.
