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

I was shown another atom of brain, of a rabbit of the same age, which had been made to see lights of various colors every day of its brief life. The difference in the appearance of these two portions of brain matter was remarkable. The portion of the brain cell subjected to the lights was finely veined like a leaf of a delicate plant. Every time the animal looked at the light, and thought of the light, as we might say, a physical change took place in the brain structure. That physical change created what is called color cells. Just exactly so every thought of sympathy and pity creates a kindness cell in the brain of human beings. Every person on earth is making some sort of a cell in his brain every waking moment of the day or night.

Thoughts are things. Thought is energy --- thought is a creative power. That is why it is important to direct the minds of human beings to good, kind, helpful thoughts.
