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

less annoyed by the happenings and inconveniences of the world of place and time. Let it matter less and less what you do, so long as it is inspired from the soul. And so live in the soul, live from the soul, give of your soul, call out the soul in others.

Disabuse the mind of all thought of death as commonly understood, and look upon the change as an external incident. Think of the soul, and rejoice in the fuller freedom of the soul of those who have passed beyond, thus ridding the mind of the conventional ideas of sorrow and separation.

Is this thought of the continuous life sufficient to sustain the sorrowing heart, so that it may pass through any separation from loved ones, yet maintain its strength? Yes, this general attitude of mind tends to invite the strength which will sustain the soul when it is too weak to strengthen itself. Nothing is more beautiful than the manifestation of the Spirit at the time of the great transition, when the thought of all present is that of the continuous life. There is an unusual manifestation of the sustaining Presence and Love at such a time. It is one of the greatest opportunities for spiritual faith and receptivity. It is one of the supreme tests of life. The manner in which some enlightened souls have met this great experience is, in the opinion of their friends, the best evidence of the truth and power of their doctrine.

It is such a test of faith which translates theory into practice, mere talk about something into the reality itself. The soul bears away a new power.
