Robinson Northwoods Divine Science Resource Center, Wisconsin “Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye IGNORANTLY worship, Him declare I unto you.” -- The Bible. Dedicatory The light is breaking. Over a world cursed for the past thousands of years with the black, clammy, cold, dismal shroud of religious dogma and superstition - the Sun of Righteousness is rising over the hilltops, and its rays are beginning to penetrate the darkness. The clouds of night are dispelling themselves under the merciless glare of the Light of the Living God. All over the world are those kindred souls who are willing to risk the wrath and enmity of the “church”, knowing such to be harmless now that the true Light is breaking. Often it is necessary for such souls to tread the winepress alone, and amongst the scoffs and jeers of those who think they know God. To all such worthy souls, standing alone on the truths of God, and in spite of “religious” opposition - this book is dedicated. May the Power of the Living God succor and sustain all of such. Frank. B. Robinson Introductory Let it be distinctly understood that but one motive activates the release of this book. That one motive is that a little more light of the mighty power of God may shine into human hearts through its release, and that much of the superstition and tradition surrounding God may be eliminated once and forever. For I shall mince no words. I shall be kind and shall write with a heart full of love to all, but a spade will be called a spade, and no matter what truths are shown to exist in this book, you may depend upon it I am sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that they do exist - otherwise the book would not have been written. I am not in the slightest degree interested in what is told to me about God unless reasonable assurance and proof of such statements is made plain. In the absence of any proof and reasonable assurance, as a Psychologist I must draw the inference that the chances of these statements being wrong are equally as great as are the chances of their being right. As a Psychologist I would not be in the slightest degree interested if all the denominations and religions in the world swore to me on a stack of bibles that their individual religion was the right one. They all claim that. Nor would I be interested if all the high officials of any of the outstanding religious denominations begged me to accept their doctrines. Until they gave me “full proof of their ministry” I should not believe them. 3 © 1930 by Frank B. Robinson Northwoods Divine Science Resource Center, Wisconsin Not that I believe them to be dishonest at all, but I know somewhat of the history of most of the religions masquerading as “agents of God” and, in the light of what I do know of them, common honesty makes me inquire diligently as to whether or not there might or might not exist a Real God - about which these various and prolific religions know nothing at all. I realize fully that we are living in a changing age. The truths of yesterday are the untruths of today. In every phase of life except the religious phase of it, things rapidly change. Not so in our “church” life however. Here we are asked to believe what our forefathers believed in the dark ages. And it does not appear to me as reasonable that these old “dark-age” beliefs are of much value to us today. Certainly the bloodshed which bathed the dark ages would not be welcome today. But most of it was “in the name of God.” Certainly also it is hardly reasonable to expect every other phase of life to progress and our religious life to stand still. To stand still is to stagnate and to die and the subject is quite open to question whether or not the structure we have with us today called the “church” has not reached that “stagnant” stage, from which death is but a short distance. And one thing is certain - if this “church” structure as we have it, is “filled with the Holy Spirit” as it claims - it will never die - but if, on the other hand such contentions are incorrect, and this “church” knows nothing about God as He exists, then it might very easily be a fact that this “stagnant” or “death” period has arrived. I leave it to my readers to pass upon the question as to whether or not the “church” has very much of a substantial nature to offer pertaining to our own spiritual and physical welfare - which is of equal importance. No one has ever returned from the “beyond” and in the face of this fact it can safely be assumed that the life we are living here is the only life we know anything about. I am not saying there is not another life, or a continuation of this same life on another plane, but I am saying that if there is no God in existence who can give us the pleasures and joys of this one life - the only life we know anything about - then it is questionable certainly whether there be a God at all or not. However - as my readers will discover - there most certainly IS a God that can and will and does give us our hearts desires here and now. We do not have to wait till we are “within the veil” to receive these blessings but can have them now - when they will be most appreciated. And if there be such a God as that, then it is quite immaterial what He may be called or how He operates. One thing is certain - one may, if he so choose, demonstrate the actuality and power of the Living God we are soon to discuss. As far as I personally am concerned - well - you had better forget me. Do not make the very fatal mistake of looking to the man instead of to the message. It is in doing just this that the “christian church” has so miserably failed. You must not do that. I am probably one of the most ordinary men that God ever put breath into - so please do not consider me for one moment. The only redeeming feature there might be about me is the dogged determination I have displayed in my search for the things of God. The searcher is a poor thing - I can assure you of that. But sometimes in the 4 © 1930 by Frank B. Robinson Northwoods Divine Science Resource Center, Wisconsin workings of God it so happens that the “weak” thing is taken to “confound the mighty” and the thing that “is not”, to bring to naught the thing “that is”. Whatever little light any of my words are able to throw on this mighty question is only as a grain of sand on the seashore. But if you will grasp the little faint glimmer of light as you will find it in this book - then I shall be happy and shall have done my little part in the entire scheme of things - the grandeur of which might very well make all of us bare our heads in awe and wonder. FRANK B. ROBINSON, June 13th, 1929, Moscow, Idaho 5 © 1930 by Frank B. Robinson Northwoods Divine Science Resource Center, Wisconsin Chapter I TRUTH TRIUMPHANT There are approximately one hundred and twenty million people in this United States of ours and probably ninety percent of them are possessed of an intense desire to know the facts about themselves, the world they live in, and its God. The day is happily gone by when the average thinking man and woman is satisfied to accept any old theory which may be presented, regardless of who presents it or what the theory or teaching may be. Men and women want to know. And they want to know as speedily as possible. They do not care from what source the truth comes just as long as it is the truth. Nor do they care one iota for the medium through which such truth may be presented - just as long as it is the truth and just as long as it gives to that man or woman a better understanding of life’s scheme, and tends to make life’s load a little easier to bear. It was not always so. Up until the last two decades you and I were taught certain supposed truths which we were commanded to accept without making the slightest attempt to ascertain whether or not such supposed truths were actually the truth, or whether or not they had the slightest particle of truth in them.

  • Emmet Fox and New Thought — Page 1
    Glenn F. Chesnut — Emmet Fox and New Thought — Page 1 Emmet Fox and New Thought Glenn F. Chesnut The problem of pain and suffering: Emmet Fox and New Thought One extreme answer to the problem of pain and suffering was given in the New Thought movement, which had a great influence on many of the Protestants in early AA. These New Thought authors taught that pain and suffering were fundamentally produced, not by external conditions, but by wrong thinking. If we changed the way we thought, the external world would change to match our new ideas. This group of American and British teachers, preachers, writers, and healers included Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802- 1866), Emma Curtis Hopkins (1849–1925), Thomas Troward (1847- 1916), and Emmet Fox (1886-1951). I would also include, as part of this tradition, a number of more recent figures such as Louise Hay (b. 1926), Helen Schucman (1909-1981), and Marianne Williamson (b. 1952), although these three latter figures of course had no influence on the world of early AA. The New Thought movement has at this time not been studied much or usually even taken with much seriousness by academic theologians and scholarly historians of thought. Even the largest New Thought denominational organizations (Unity Church, Church of Divine Science, and Religious Science) are quite small. Yet Louise Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life (1984) has sold 35 million copies to date (as opposed to 30 million copies for the AA Big Glenn F. Chesnut — Emmet Fox and New Thought — Page 2 Book), and even the works of some of the other New Thoughts authors have sometimes sold quite well.

How Letting Go Brought Me What I Wanted ANNIE S. GREENWOOD, Ph.D. Moods That Bring Healing · (Concluded) MARIE WI~CHELL WALKER. M.D. Playing Square ELIZABETH TOWNE ~~Key to ~emonftration'' 'By GEORGE C. HUBBS Acx: in August, 1935, that always-helpful contributor, B Marie Winchell Walker, had a NAUTILUS article on "Key to Demonstration," the first sentence of which was: "You can demonstrate health and prosperity, not by any power or piety of your own, but by faith in God as law and love." And in her second paragraph she gave a clear reason for her opening statement by saying: "Since God is love, the creative principle must work through the medium of uni­ versal love." Here are two vital points. The first, that demonstration is not solely based on one's personal piety, but by an under­ standing of the nature of God - just, for example, as you must know the nature of your children or your friends to deal successfully with them. Too often, I fear, we deal with God according to our natures. The second point is this: that since God is love we obvi­ ously must speak his love language if we expect him to re­ spond. Could you expect a God of love to respond to a hate language? Or to a selfish, or a personal-worth, or a mere­ wish language? It will help us to properly value this point if we recall that God's language is spoken by our hearts, not by our lips; for, as it says in Revelation, "the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance"­ and by what is said - ' 'but the Lord looketh on the heart.''

  • The First Roman Catholics in Alcoholics Anonymous
    CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 1 September 3, 2011 The First Roman Catholics in Alcoholics Anonymous Glenn F. Chesnut Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935 by two men, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith, who had been brought up as Protestants, and specifically, as New England Congregationalists. In spite of the fact that Congregationalism’s roots had lain in seventeenth and eighteenth-century Puritanism (the world of Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter) this was a denomination which had developed and changed to the point where they very strongly took the liberal side—not the fundamentalist side—in the great fundamentalist-liberal debate which arose within early twentieth-century American Protestantism. In 1957 (two years after AA’s “coming of age” at its St. Louis convention) the Congregationalists united with another modernist mainline American denomination to form the extremely liberal United Church of Christ. At the time they first met, in 1935, Bill W. and Dr. Bob had both recently become involved with a controversial Protestant evangelical association called the Oxford Group, and initially worked with alcoholics under its umbrella. Nevertheless, both of them (as well as the majority of the alcoholics whom they sobered up during the first few years) came from liberal Protestant backgrounds, so a kind of generalized liberal Protestant influence rapidly became just as important as that of the Oxford Group. And contact with the New Thought movement (especially Emmet Fox) introduced an even more radical form of liberal Protestantism which was also a force in early AA.

Chesnut CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 3 QUOTES “The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a de- mocracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it.” Edward Dowling, Chicago Daily News, July 28, 1941. Father Ed rejoiced that in “moving therapy from the expensive clinical couch to the low-cost coffee bar, from the inexperienced professional to the informed amateur, AA has democratized sani- ty.”1 “At one Cana Conference he commented, ‘No man thinks he’s ug- ly. If he’s fat, he thinks he looks like Taft. If he’s lanky, he thinks he looks like Lincoln.’”2 Edward Dowling, S.J., of the Queen’s Work staff, says, “Alcohol- ics Anonymous is natural; it is natural at the point where nature comes closest to the supernatural, namely in humiliations and in consequent humility. There is something spiritual about an art mu- seum or a symphony, and the Catholic Church approves of our use of them. There is something spiritual about A.A. too, and Catholic participation in it almost invariably results in poor Catholics be- coming better Catholics.” Added as an appendix to the Big Book in 1955.3 CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 4 “‘God resists the proud, assists the humble. The shortest cut to humility is humiliations, which AA has in abundance.

My name is Kathrin Zenkina and I am a spiritual badass babe who one day realized that it was her passion to empower other women live their best lives. Lives filled with nothing less than happiness, freedom, tons of love, free flowing inspiration, endless motivation, and a whole lot of money to do whatever the fuck they wanted.

  • May 9, 19^7 Dr. Charles S. Braden Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois Dear Dr. Braden: Thank You for Your Courtesy In
    May 9, 19^7 Dr. Charles S. Braden Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois Dear Dr. Braden: Thank you for your courtesy in sending us the chapter from your book on Unity School. We appreciate greatly the oppor­ tunity you have given us to read it and offer suggestions for changes which will make it more accurate. After my brother and I had read the manuscript we referred It to Charles Fillmore. I am quoting the notation he attached when he returned it to me: ''This is the fairest statement of Unity and its teaching that has been written. The only errors are those copied from Teener. They refer to personal matters, early teachers, etc, which Teener must have guessed at. However, they are not Important. Teener always Insists that our doctrine of God was pantheistic, which Braden has copied. His attention might be exiled to this error. Also he compares Unity to Psychlana on page 223, which might be omitted.1' Following are suggestions which I feel are good: On page 1 of your manuscript you have used the word "manu­ facturing plant," which we believe could be changed to "publishing plant" advantageously. On page 1, par. 2 and on page 2, par. 1, we would suggest that "followers of Unity" be changed to "students of Unity,'* for that Is what we consider those who read and study Unity teachings. On page 2 you have referred to the twelve o'clock silent period at Unity Inn when all present joined in a prayer for men in the Armed Forces. Perhaps you did not know that this silent period is still being observed even though the war ceased.

  • Theories and Evidence on Combining Imagery, Energy Medicine, and Awareness of Non-Local Mind Daniel J
    January, 2002 Volume 2, No. 1 EmotionalBodyProcess II: Theories and Evidence on Combining Imagery, Energy Medicine, and Awareness of Non-Local Mind Daniel J. Benor, MD, Dorothea von Stumpfeldt, MD, and Ruth Benor, RN Introduction We discuss theories to explain EmotionalBodyProcess, a method involving imagery healing for transformation of negative biological energies and subtle energies that exist within our environment. This innovative technique was described in IJHC Volume I, No. 1. Briefly, it involves the creation through imagery of a space where you concentrate the energies of love, acceptance, forgiveness, and healing. Into this space you invite the image of whatever negativity in your life you wish to transform. By dialoguing with the negative image, offering to give it whatever it wants of you, you will find that the negativity is rapidly diminished. LINK TO FAQ http://www.wholistichealingresearch.com/References/FAQ.htm EmotionalBodyProcess combines imagery, biological energies, and non-local mind. nlc How these may work is discussed in this paper. Historical notes The transformative powers of love have been noted by others. There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem. attributed to Emmet Fox The transposition of polarities as a healing technique was observed hundreds of years ago. the twelfth-century magician and poet Milarepa, one of Tibet’s greatest Buddhist teachers. lived in remote mountain caves.

  • Sobriety Or Recovery?
    Sobriety or Recovery? By Jean Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., WFS Founder This year the WFS “New Life” Program is 20 years old. That's so hard for me to believe. However, during those 20 years, many women have recovered; have gone on to fulfilling lives. Drinking -- sobriety . Problems of gender -- recovery To have a fulfilling life requires 2 stages. The first stage is to overcome drinking. This is a period of sobriety. It is possible to stop at this stage but it does not produce a fulfilling life. Just being sober has little back up when something drastic happens. The immediate response is to go back to drinking because there is no solid basis for the sobriety. Probably the sobriety is a day-by-day management of life. The sobriety is tenuous. It can be upset by troubling news. Its maintenance is always a sometimes thing. And what of the “New Life” Program? Maintaining sobriety is merely practicing the First Statement. Going beyond the First Statement, going beyond just the maintenance of sobriety, is the beginning of your pursuit of a full recovery. The “New Life” Program differs from many others because it is a comprehensive program; it asks its users to make a total change in life to affect a recovery. It asks for a new way of thinking about life and a way of unlocking the key to individual strengths. When I laid out the program 20 years ago, I saw it as Thirteen Statements of Recovery, with each Statement dealing with one aspect of recovery. In the early years, when I was making speeches, I began to layout a life plan; to illustrate, I’d discuss the different levels of recovery as I saw them.
