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.

These endeavours to gain knowledge by intuition, rather than through the ordinary and slower channels, put the mind into the habit of expecting spiritual help. Thus the subconscious life is brought into play, and greater receptivity is developed. The soul also becomes more self-reliant. It discovers new resources. It becomes more at home in its own inner world, And all this is a preparation for
