What is the New Thought Movement-quotes and discussion.

[Redchic12]

HONZA……”That is all very well, but I did not make the world what it is.”

You made YOUR personal part of the world what it is imo

The Ukraine war was created by men in power with only greed and violence in their consciousness. If there’s enough of this energy created then of course “so be it”.

Just my opinion of course.

SKY…

Love the mountain quote. So true.

And Hi, Redchic :)

3 sentences from the link I gave:

In principle, New Thought's idealism is similar to that of Christian Science, yet unlike the earlier movement,
New Thought generally interprets matter and physical experiences in a positive light, viewing them as limited (but perfectible)
manifestations of Spirit (Divine Mind).


The essence of humanity is divine, and humans are seen as spiritual beings that are linked with Divine Mind through
their highest consciousness (e.g., Christ Mind, superconsciousness, Christ within).

This relationship of unity is analogous to the relationship of brahman (the manifestation of ultimate reality) and ātman
(the self) in Hinduism, as well as understandings of the human essence found in the Western Esoteric tradition,
influenced by Neoplatonism and Gnosticism.

So in other words they have taken what is “good” and acceptable from other religions and left the garbage where it belongs. Lol.

I don’t feel they are teaching anything new. I mean we all know this stuff don’t we. Well a lot of us anyway.

Don’t mean this to sound offensive. Just thinking out loud really.

But, that's because you're smart.
It's nice to hear it over and over for me.
But, for many this would be very new stuff...like LOA is big-time new to many.
We are what we think is as old as the the hills or Old Testament Proverbs.
'Ask and it is given' is as old as Jesus;
'Knock and the door will be opened', too. All old stuff, yes.


Can we hear this enough? Lol

And it is worth mentioning Thomas Troward (1847-1916).

He had one personal student Geneviève Behrend (1881-1960)

Their books are available as free downloads from https://www.globalgreyebooks.com/

But there are many such authors originating from the New Thought Movement who are worth reading.

Peace

I don’t know where I got this from, but I assumed the term New Thought is pointing to the idea that your old way of thinking is what caused the problems in your life, and so you learn a new way of thinking that is more in line with divine mind and the problems will dissolve on their own.

Thanks Miss H. Some good points there.

Nah I’m not really smart, just read a load of books in my time lol

Yeah I guess it is new to a lot of people especially the young ones and these “new thoughts” will certainly guide them thru life in a very positive way. More than the rubbish we were taught that stuffed most of us up and gave us loads of problems!

Yeah it is good to have reminders.

Long live the “New Thought” movement!!!

“Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or not. Visualizing is the great secret of success.” - Geneviève Behrend


“All day long the thoughts that occupy your mind, your Secret Place, as Jesus calls it, are moulding your destiny for good or evil;
in fact, the truth is that the whole of our life’s experience is but the outer expression of inner thought.
Now we can choose the sort of thoughts that we entertain.
We can choose how we shall think—in point of fact, we always do choose—and therefore our lives are just the result of the kind of thoughts we have”

-Emmet Fox

And as Buddha said………
All of what we are is the result of what we have thought.
