New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought.

What right has any modern teacher to claim that central idea as his or her own discovery?): "We must have four sorts of ideas: Friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those in misery; we must rejoice with the happy, and ignore wickedness."

Every reaction in the form of hatred or evil thought is so much loss to the mind; and every evil thought, or deed, of hatred, controlled and overcome will be laid to our favor. Each time we suppress the unworthy impulse, so much good energy is stored in our favor, to be converted to higher uses.
