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

fills all space, entering into its peace, contemplating its beauty, resting in its encompassing love.

[The speaker becomes absorbed in thought as his words become ever gentler, with moments of waiting between sentences. An expression of sweet peace rests upon his face, and his hearers are lifted by the power which radiates from him as he concludes. . . . As if oblivious of all present, he at length voices his thought.]

0 Power whence cometh all the energy which stirs this universe, 0 Wisdom which guides all the activities of men, 0 Love which unites all hearts to thee, unto thee I dedicate anew all that is in me. Unto thee I open my soul anew, that it may be filled with thy peace, that it may be inspired by thy love. Guide me, that I may be faithful to thy presence. Many times I forget, and then humbly return to thee. Many times we have each and all forgotten even here where we have assembled to learn thy law. But we would be true, We would ever manifest thee. And so we begin again with a zeal unknown before, yet a zeal which inspires us in stillness, in that far inner world where all souls are near, whence all our noblest deeds arise. . . .

As we go, one and all, in silence, when the soul of each is moved, let us bear with us the Presence which has been with as to-day. Let us walk with that peace which has filled our souls, and forget not that love which has drawn us together as fellow-workers in the greatest of all spheres in all the universe, the kingdom of the Spirit. Peace, peace, peace!
