Charles Fillmore AN can be what he wishes to be. He can be master or he can be serf. It rests with him whether he shall fill the high places in life or the low, whether he shall serve or be served, lead or be led. We, of course, understand that these distinc tions are relative only; in the sight of the Most High the servant may be prized more than his master, but there is within everyone an inherent desire to be at the top, which desire has its root deep down in our very nature, - and it is consequently legitimate. That it is frequently mis directed and used to base ends is no reason why it should be depreciated. We all want to excel — it is the inspira tion of the Spirit that ever forces us up through earth to ward heaven, and it should be encouraged and cultivated in the right direction. A man without ambition is like a ship afloat on the waves without sails or steam. Such a man simply drifts — if he reaches port safe it is by chance. But a ship with a full head of steam needs one other important auxiliary, and that is a rudder. Then it needs a man to handle that rudder. So an ambitious man needs judgment, and with it intelligence. Here then is one of the most important factors in demonstrating "I will be what I will be." When we have summed up all the factors that make the many seeming differences between the high and the low, Generated for deveneyjp (University of Chicago) on 2015-12-07 14:17 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/nyp.33433070226778 / GMT 14:17 2015-12-07 on Chicago) of (University deveneyjp for Generated http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google / Google-digitized Domain, Public 176 UNITY the rich and the poor, the serving and the served, it is found that they can all be resolved into a single one—intelligence. is, is That it the degree of knowing which each possesses that locates him in life. He may be wise and not successful in matters worldly, but he is not servant, nor is he dissatis fied with his lot. Whoever is truly wise is truly happy, and such contentment is success. Political economists and philosophers have long ago discovered that all the evils of the world are brought about a in by ignorance. They every one have their root lack of understanding, and could be blotted out effectually by ap plied knowledge. This is true on every plane of conscious ness. The carnal mind has its degrees of ignorance, and its foundations of doctrines and sciences have their dark and light shades. Less than fifty years ago phlebotomy was universally practiced by doctors of medicine, and their pa tients were relieved of pints, quarts and even gallons of blood as a remedy for two-thirds of the diseases which they had formulated up to that time. But when they had at tained a little intelligence they stopped this wholesale dissi pation of the life vehicle. In theology we see the fading away of ignorance in like manner. Threats of eternal punishment in a red-hot hell have been quietly dropped as a goad to righteousness, and the love of God and the beauties of heaven substituted. The scale of intelligence has been rising everywhere; and the old cruel methods in materia medica, and the equally cruel doctrines in theology, are no longer tolerated by the people. The secret of this rising tide of intelligence is that men and women are more universally learning to think for themselves. That spirit within each is knocking to be let I forth— k is loudly calling, "Whom say ye that am?" The good old days of the rule of the few over the many has gone, never to return. The conquering hero with his army of ignorant serfs is no more. War has lost its place as a settler of differences between nations.

And so it will continue —the appear ance of force will finally lose its intimidating effect upon the thinking people who are now bullied into paying the bills for the support of its hollow shams, and they will soon let the whole transparent system fall. Poets who sing about the good old days, and states men who wail over the decadence of the present, are fast being stored away in the attic as back numbers. "Who is it that mourns for the dayt that are gone, When a noble could do as he liked with his own. When his serfs with their burdens were filled on their backs. Never dared to complain of the weight of a taxi When the stealers of sheep and the slayers of men Were hung up together again and again?" It is true that we still hear the old prophets and sav iors extolled among certain religious teachers, to the ex clusion of those of the present, but we are learning fast the lesson of God's Omnipresence, and we are rejoicing in the very presence of that promise of old that "they that be wise shall shine." Intelligence and wisdom are very near kin. They differ only in the concept of men. Intelligence is the ex pression of man's powers and capacities through the avenue of the limited mental attitude termed the intellect. When that same avenue loses its boundaries and catches sight of the great sea of Infinity's understanding, which is always it, open to it takes on that phase of knowing more properly termed wisdom. a There is then slight distinction between intelligence and wisdom. One is that we know as men and women, and the other is what God knows through us without distinction of sex, race, color, place or time. This is the man of God in is in his relation as son—he no longer the far country of the intellect living on the dry husks of other men's thoughts, as recorded on the skins of swine, but he is in the Father's Generated for deveneyjp (University of Chicago) on 2015-12-07 14:17 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/nyp.33433070226778 / GMT 14:17 2015-12-07 on Chicago) of (University deveneyjp for Generated http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google / Google-digitized Domain, Public 178 UNITY house and the feast is spread before him without interven tion of any human hand. The servants there in waiting are the swift ideas of the illimitable source of knowledge, and he is free to command them to bring him whatever he may desire. Jesus Christ was the type man, which includes all the mental phases which man passes through in demonstrating life's problems. So we find Jesus Christ passing through all the trials, temptations and mental variations of each one of us. And the experiences of each is a miniature copy of the experiences of all. In our lives we find the two very distinct phases of mental evolution portrayed in the two questions: first, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?" and second, "Whom say ye that I am?" The world is divided into two great classes with these mental attitudes as the foundation of their distinction. We readily recognize the one great class that looks upon itself as flesh and blood, the offspring of Adam, the "Son of man." The individuals of this class are asking each other from morning until night, day after day and year after year, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?" They do not live original lives, but reflections. Their aim is not to shine by their own light, but the reflected light of the world's standard of what the Son of man should be.

  • A History of the New Thought Movement
    RY OF THE r-lT MOVEMEN1 DRESSER I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by Victoria College A HISTORY OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT BY HORATIO W. DRESSER AUTHOR OF "THE POWER OF SILENCE," * 'HANDBOOK OF THE NEW THOUGHT," "THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW THOUGHT," ETC. NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS JUL COPYRIGHT, 1919. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PREFACE FOR several years there has been a demand for a history of the liberal wing of the mental-healing movement known as the "New Thought." This demand is partly due to the fact that the move- ment is now well organized, with international headquarters in Washington, D. C., hence there is a desire to bring its leading principles together and see in their in to inter- them unity ; and part est in the pioneers out of whose practice the present methods and teachings have grown. The latter interest is particularly promising since the pioneers still have a message for us. Then, too, we are more interested in these days in trac- ing the connection between the ideas which con- cern us most and the new age out of which they have sprung. We realize more and more clearly that this is indeed a new age. Hence we are in- creasingly eager to interpret the tendencies of thought which express the age at its best. In order to meet this desire for a history of the New Thought, Mr. James A. Edgerton, president of the International New Thought Alliance, decided in 1916 to undertake the work.

  • A History of the New Thought Movement by Horatio W. Dresser
    A History of the New Thought Movement by Horatio W. Dresser Published by Thomas Y. Crowell Co., New York 1919 This ebook (c) MK Cultra 2006 mkcultra.com Chapter 1 - THE NEW AGE THE great war came as a vivid reminder that we live in a new age. We began to look back not only to explain the war and find a way to bring it to an end, but to see what tendencies were in process to lead us far beyond it. There were new issues to be met and we needed the new enlightenment to meet them. The war was only one of various signs of a new dispensation. It came not so much to prepare the way as to call attention to truths which we already possessed. The new age had been in process for some time. Different ones of us were trying to show in what way it was a new dispensation, what principles were most needed. What the war accomplished for us was to give us a new contrast. As a result we now see clearly that some of the tendencies of the nineteenth century which were most warmly praised are not so promising as we supposed. We had come to regard the nineteenth century as the age of the special sciences. We looked to science for enlightenment. We enjoyed new inventions without number, such as the steam-engine, the electric telegraph, the telephone, and our life centered more and more about these. But the nation having most to do with preparation for the war was the one which made the greatest use of the special sciences.

  • MASTER MIND Stands for the Supreme Universal Intelligence That Heals Every Disease Through Knowledge
    AUG 29 1913 No. 5. SEPTEMBER, 1913 ol. IV C&i*. Plater P W GOOD MISSIONARY WORK. THE The New Thought Progressive League of Medford, Mass, has been formed by well known leaders and workers in the Philosophy of New Thought. Speakers are sent to aid Centers, or to help in form­ ing new ones. Its obJect is a systematized method of extending New Thought Philosophy. Its relation to the New Thought Move­ Ma s t e r ment is like that of missionary work in the churches. Its further object is to preach the kingdom of God, to heal the sick, and to teach the Gospel of Happiness here and now. To show the possi­ bilities in each individual through their being one with the great Edited by 0J Universal Power of God. The teachers go wherever sent without money and without price. ANNIE RIX MILITZ Our watchwords are Co-operation and Service, all financial re­ turns to be used in extending Truth. We organized in May, 1912, Ac commenced work in October of the same year, and by the time this description is in print we shall be an incorporated body. Since October we have started eleven Centers in the suburbs of Boston, have given sixty-five talks to people who knew little or nothing of New Thought, and have found ministers and doctors who co-operate with us in most of these towns. We find people hungering and thirsting for righteousness. The rightness within themselves to be expressed through right thinking, right speaking, right living. Truly the harvest is ripe, laborers few.
