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

Life always meant more to me than literary achievement. To be a poet only, was never the sum total of my ambitions. I longed to be a cultured woman, to study languages, to be an athlete, to dress well, to travel, and to make myself an ornament to home and to society. I was a good horsewoman at an early age, and I danced well, and I wanted to add all other outdoor and indoor accomplishments to my repertoire. All these things required money, and there was no source of income save my pen to cover such expenses. It was a hard battle, a battle fought with the world and with myself; and there were many defeats and many mistakes and much lack of judgment, In my restless eagerness to push ahead, I often put myself back. I plunged into roads I imagined the great highways of Progress, and found them by-paths leading to marshes and jungles, or to the Land of Nowhere. But always each mistake served as a stair on which I climbed to a larger understanding of the world, of myself, and of life's real meaning.

I recall one serious, discouraged hour of taking stock of life, when I felt I was farther away from my goal than ever before, and when I came to a decision that nothing but absolute adherence to duty, however humdrum, distasteful, and unsatisfactory, was worth while. It was on that day I wrote the following verses:


I may not reach the heights I seek,
My untried strength may fail me;
Or halfway up the mountain peak,
Fierce tempests may assail me.
But though that place I never gain,
Herein lies life's comfort for my pain ---
I will be worthy of it.

Version of that book as your Source and copying the text of the different pages from that file, then pasting it into these individual Target files which constitute the pages of the multipage book.

Here is how you do it!

1. highlight the source material, use Ctrl C, (or Right Click / Copy), to copy the text from the Source file, (usually the Single Page Version of the book).

2. Return to the target page, this page! Confirm that this page number is the proper page for the text you are pasting, then paste that copied text from the source file to this page using the following method:

3. TRIPLE CLICK ON THIS TEXT, this will highlight everything.

4. THEN PASTE the text you have just copied from the Source file (the Single Page Version of the book) onto the now highlighted portion of this page by either using Ctrl V, or Right Click / Paste.

5. SAVE this page, then close it and go to the next page.

When you are done with your session, UPLOAD all the pages that you have completed to the library. This will protect your work by creating a copy in its folder on the library.

When you have finished ALL the pages of the book, then it is time to TEST them. Work through the book at least one time from page to page starting with the first page, then clicking "NEXT PAGE" and thereby going all the way to the last page of the book. Once you get to the last page of the book, test the PREVIOUS PAGE links by clicking all the way back to first page using "PREVIOUS PAGE". This way you will know your work is indeed correct and working.

Then it is time to turn on the multipage version by opening the Contents page of the book (The one that has all the chapter links) then saving it as "home.html".

When you have done that, upload the new home.html page, go to the testing website, open the bio page for the writer, refresh / reload it, then click the link to this book.

Perform the final test of the book by testing the Contents page insuring that those links do indeed go to the pages they are supposed to.

Refer to the 2process page if you have any questions.
