Serving New Thought is pleased to present
Horatio W. Dresser's
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
