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

After you have learned the words by heart, you will not need the written rosary; it will become a part of your thoughts.

You will say your rosary over as you walk on the street or sit in public conveyances, or drive in your carriage, or lie in your bed; and you will find such strength and power coming to you as you never dreamed of possessing.

If you are worried about your health, or about your financial condition, add new beads to the rosary and say:

  • I am health, energy, vitality.
  • I am prosperity and plenty.
  • Opulence is mine, and the wisdom to use it wisely.
  • Everything I do succeeds, and I am filled with vitality and strength.

Familiarize yourself with these words, and make the rosary a part of your daily mental and spiritual exercises.

A worried and despondent business man who believed he was born to misfortune acceded to the wish of a friend and carried the rosary she wrote for him in the lining of his hat, reading it over whenever he felt the despondent mood approaching.

After a time his nerves were less tensely strung; he was calmer and more philosophical. That was all.

Then came a complete business failure, and he said to his friend: "You see the rosary did not work. I am born for failure."

But right after the failure came the best fortune of his whole life, and it came through the failure, just as the erection of a fine marble building waits upon the destruction of a cheap, wooden structure oftentimes.

Health, happiness, success and power have come
