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

enable a man no to interpret his individual experience and no to apply it, that his existence in the world shall be justified, that he shall be an honour both to God and to man.

In the light of this ideal, we may restate our definition of education as, the recognition of and cooperation with the immanent Spirit, on all planes of existence, as it is revealed through the individual consciousness of man. Or, we may define it as the training of the individual powers to the full, that through their progressive development the unique relation of each soul to God, nature, and society may find adequate expression. Thus defined, education is lifted out of the limited sphere in which it has so long been confined; and dignified, yes, made truly possible, by intimate association with the Highest in life.
