Ella Wheeler Wilcox's

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. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

Long ago the seers of the world said these things, and it is gratifying to find physical science corroborating the statements of the "wise men of old." Thousands of years ago it was written and said that each mortal had an "aura," and that by its color the psychic eye could determine the thoughts of another, whether sad or glad, gloomy or hopeful, angry or loving.

In London a year or two ago a scientific corroboration of this theory was produced by a chemically prepared screen, which brought out the colors surrounding the head of any one sitting in front of it, and, oddly enough, the mental states of each person corresponded with the colors the wise people thousands of years ago had declared such thoughts would produce; the brown "aura" despondency, the pink, love.

Let us open the windows of our souls and minds to all these glorious new discoveries. They are coming thick and fast in the next decade.

And by and by, after a century or two passes, all mortals may develop the psychic eye and be enabled to "see" the thoughts of one another.

Since many such people exist to-day all about us, it behooves us to cultivate a "pink aura" by loving thoughts, and to avoid anger and evil passions, which display themselves in sullen red rays; or despondency, which clothes itself in muddy brown.

The pink aura, by all means!
