Education and the Philosophical Ideal

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought from Abrahamic to Vedic. New Thought literature reflects the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy presents a dramatic contrast with the magical thinking of decadent religions that promulgate supersticions standing in the way of progress to shared peace and prosperity." ~ Avalon de Rossett

peace, not in excitement, its education will proceed far more easily; and in due time it will attain a high level in its contests with conventional life.

Spiritual education is, therefore, universal education. It applies to every detail, to every plane of life. It fits man to adjust himself to and understand the entire universe, to become truly universal. Current education falls short of this because its ideals are not high enough, because it has not yet made use of the recent discoveries concerning the subconscious mind, prenatal influence, and the power of thought on the body.

That the reformation of our educational methods is a difficult task is at once admitted. Much prejudice will be encountered, and conventionality will assert its might. It will be some time yet before there are teachers competent to teach this highest education. But simply to formulate the ideal is to make a beginning. The ideal will grow in power each time it is considered, and in due course we shall have schools specially adapted for the training of those who are to inculcate the spiritual ideal.
