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

Let us live happily, then, not hating those who hate us! Let us live free from hatred among men who hate!

He who holds back rising anger as (one might) a rolling chariot, Him, indeed, I call a driver: others only hold the reins.

Let a man overcome anger by kindness, evil by good; Let him conquer the stingy by a gift, the liar by truth.

The fair-minded reader will readily concede that this teaching is identical with the teachings of Christ. Regarding the future state of man Buddha believed that each being eventually, after many incarnations, dissolved into "bliss absolute" and became a part of the creative source.

Buddha lived righteously and unselfishly, bore much persecution and misunderstanding patiently and died a holy man, leaving an indelible impress upon the world for all time.

His beautiful life and beautiful teachings are worthy of all respect. Christ is to me a brother, a friend, a master, a guide. There is not a day when my thoughts and affections do not go out to Him, reverently. That does not prevent me from giving love and reverence to His older brothers, sons of God, who came to enlighten the world before Christ's advent. Each taught according to his time and the needs of his audience. Yet, studied carefully, the essential truths taught by each were the same. Krishna taught that love was the law of the universe. Buddha taught love and self conquest. Christ taught Love and Kindness.

And all were messengers from God.
