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

"What Is the Loving Thing to Do?"

THAT is the motto of "Fellowship," a wonderful organization founded by Benjamin Fay Mills, with no creed save "Trust and Service."

What is your idea of trust, and service?

How would you answer the question contained in the motto?

My own idea of trust is as illimitable as the word indicates. Whatever happens, to believe it is a part of the divine plan. However unpleasant, however painful, however disagreeable may be that happening or circumstance, to determine upon finding its good meaning, and to turn it to the soul's account and make it a means of character building.

Trust does not, in my interpretation of the word, include placid acceptance of conditions or events. It means using these things as stepping stones to deliverance.

When our environment is not to our liking, when we are annoyed and hurt by events, the first thing to do is to discover if we ourselves have not been the cause of these troubles. If we realize on careful analysis that we are the cause, then trust the divine forces to show us the way out.

If we find we are blameless, and the troubles come through what we call Fate, then again trust in divine power, within ourselves and beyond ourselves, to deliver us.

Meanwhile, to go upon our way doing the duty
