Common Sense How to Exercise It

"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

"This happens when it is an advantage, for the perfect equilibrium of the projects in question, that it should be maintained at the same pitch, in order that it may be understood by all.

"In the legendary days, snow the color of fire once fell on the inhabitants of a little village, who were all about to attend a religious ceremony.

"One man alone, an old philosopher, had remained at home because, at the time they were to leave, he suddenly fell ill.

"When his sufferings were relieved, he started out to join the others and found them committing all sorts of follies.

"Two among them were reviling one another, each one claiming that he was the only king.

"Some were weeping because they thought that they were changed into beasts.

"Others were screaming, without rime or reason, now embracing each other, now attacking one another furiously.

"Soon the wise man recognized that they had been affected by the fall of snow, which had made them crazy, and he tried to speak to them in the language of reason.

"But all these crazy people turned on him, crying out that he had just lost his reason and that he must be shut away.
