Home of Truth History -I- PRINCIPLES INTRODUCTION Annie Rix Militz, one of the Home of Truth Movement Founders, was also among the New Thought pioneers who created the International New Thought Alliance (INTA) in 1914. INTA is the oldest New Thought repository in the world, with hundreds of member individuals, churches, and organizations. The Home of Truth is a lifetime member. Looking forward, it is our hope that by adopting the INTA Principles as our own, we are more able to honor the past, live in the present, and co-create the future. The Home of Truth Principles (INTA Principles Adopted in 2013) 1. We affirm God as Mind, Infinite Being, Spirit, and Ultimate Reality. 2. We affirm that God, the Good, is supreme, universal, and everlasting. 3. We affirm the unity of God and humanity, in that the divine nature dwells within and expresses through each of us, by means of our acceptance of it, as health, supply, wisdom, love, life, truth, power, beauty, and peace. 4. We affirm the power of prayer and the capacity of each person to have mystical experience with God, and to enjoy the grace of God. 5. We affirm the freedom of all persons as to beliefs, and we honor the diversity of humanity by being open and affirming of all persons, affirming the dignity of human beings as founded on the presence of God within them, and, therefore, the principle of democracy. 1 Home of Truth History 6. We affirm that we are all spiritual beings, dwelling in a spiritual universe that is governed by spiritual law, and that in alignment with spiritual law, we can heal, prosper, and harmonize. 7. We affirm that our mental states are carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living. 8. We affirm the manifestation of the kingdom of heaven here and now. 9. We affirm expression of the highest spiritual principle in loving one another unconditionally, promoting the highest good for all, teaching and healing one another, ministering to one another, and living together in peace, in accordance with the teachings of Jesus and other enlightened teachers. 10. We affirm our evolving awareness of the nature of reality and our willingness to refine our beliefs accordingly. 2 Home of Truth History -II- ORGANIZATION The Home of Truth (THOT) functions firstly as a spiritual unit with sharing of the spiritual a foremost priority. From this base, all Members cooperate to provide the many programs, events and services of THOT to promulgate spiritual principles in an atmosphere of peace, fun and enjoyment! This cooperative creativity strengthens our skills as builders of spiritual community and our community itself as a viable force for Love in the world. As a spiritual community, we also function as a non-profit religious organization in order to facilitate our programs. This means we function also as a business. As a corporation, we operate with a Board of Directors and a budget of income and expenses. As each member of the community assumes responsibility for the success of this institution, we each and all flourish! Corporation: THOT functions as a legal corporation with all the applicable rights and stipulations. l. Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws: These have been carefully drawn up to protect and empower THOT in maintaining consistent high quality in every area. 2. Ownership: The Corporation is the legal owner and its members are responsible for the well-being of the Center. Management-Leadership-Participation: THOT functions best when all aspects of the ministry are administered and supported effectively. The Pathways of Service cover aspects needed to keep our Center running on course. 3 Home of Truth History The Pathways of Service are: Building and Grounds Committees Community Care & Outreach Education: Classes and Youth Education Expansion/Prosperity/Events Facility Use Committee Finance Committee Music Ministry Membership & Hospitality Public Relations/Advertising/Marketing Sunday Service Committee (Worship Team) Vision and Prayer (Prayer Chaplaincy Program established in 2013 by Rev. Ouida Joi) Everyone is urged to try an area and serve in that way for a period of several months, then expanding by serving in other areas. In this way, one may determine how they can most effectively serve the community. Together with Divine guidance, we cause The Home of Truth to flourish in every way. Finances: Our income depends on three main sources: l. Tithes/Offerings/Donations: These monies primarily come from Sunday Service offerings but include donations made during the week to the general operating fund and/or special renovation and other projects. 2. Income from Rentals/Classes/Events: Various groups rent space in any of our three available spaces: Sanctuary, Garden Cottage, and Meeting Rooms (upstairs); all classes or workshops must be in alignment with the Home of Truth Principles. 3. Fundraising and Expansion: This third means of generating income occurs when we have pledge drives, bake sales, rummage sales, concerts and other events designed to build revenue. 4 Home of Truth History Membership: A Spiritual Commitment We are honored and delighted that you are considering becoming a member of The Home of Truth. We recognize that this is a step on your spiritual path that you do not take casually, and one that is filled with opportunities for increased love, truth, joy, creativity, self expression and peace as you join us in devotion, community and service. You become a partner with us as we grow and thrive. We welcome you with open hearts! Being a member of The Home of Truth is a statement-- both personal and public-- of your commitment to your own spiritual development and to learning about and celebrating your spiritual path with this group of people. It does not involve any commitment to rules or regulations regarding your personal life or subjugation to any creed or individual leader. Becoming a member does involve your making several important agreements, according to our By-Laws. Prerequisites for Membership 1. Complete a new member application form (M-001), which will be given to the Board of Directors for consideration and acceptance of your membership. 2. Attend the New Thought History and Home of Truth History classes. You are responsible for initiating arrangements for a make-up class if you are unable to attend those scheduled. 3. Attendance at a New Member Sunday is also recommended. 4. Member Meetings - Attend the Annual Membership Meeting in February and other specially- called meetings. Your presence at the Membership 5 Home of Truth History Meeting is preferred when exercising your voting privilege. However, if unavoidable circumstances keep you from attending, you may give your voting proxy to another member to present at the meeting. Privileges of Membership 1. Election of Directors: Members elect the Board of Directors at the Annual Membership Meeting. Directors serve for a period of two years with up to three consecutive elected terms. 2. Amending Articles and Bylaws: Though our Bylaws are carefully thought out and worded, members have the right to approve, by majority vote, the amendments of Bylaws made by the Committees and the Board of Directors. 3. Ownership of Assets: All assets and property became subject to the California Corporation Code in 1926 and IRS regulation for 501c(3) exempt corporations. A Membership vote is required should it become necessary to dissolve the corporation. Within this process, all assets would be distributed to another 501c(3) nonprofit religious organization. 4. Members receive reduced rates of facility rental fees for personal or business use. There is an emergency financial aid fund (Wanda Owens Memorial Benevolence Fund) available for members facing a temporary financial challenge. An application must be submitted to the Board for approval and there is a limit to the total amount available during a 12- month period. 6 Home of Truth History -III- Home of Truth Beginnings [1] The history of the movement in California dates from 1887, when Emma Curtis Hopkins, formerly one of Mrs. Eddy's students, went to San Francisco at the request of interested people and taught a class of 250 people, including Mrs. Sadie Gorie, Miss Harriet Hale Rix, and Annie Rix. * The name for mental healing employed at first was Christian Science, but the first society was known as The Pacific Coast Metaphysical Bureau. This was later called the Christian Science Home, then the Home of Truth, the name that has been retained for mental-healing centers on the Pacific coast.

  • 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.

Cannon J. Spencer Fluhman Eric A. Eliason Department of History Brigham Young University December 2009 Copyright © 2009 Stanley J. Thayne All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Home of Truth: The Metaphysical World of Marie Ogden Stanley J. Thayne Department of History Master of Arts Marie Ogden‘s Home of Truth colony—a religious community that was located in southern Utah during the 1930s and 40s—was part of a segment of the American religious landscape that has largely been overlooked. As such, her movement points to a significant gap in the historiography of American religion. In addition to documenting the history of this obscure community, I situate Marie Ogden as part of what I call the early new age of American religion, an underdeveloped part of the broader categories of metaphysical religion or Western esotericism.

  • Both Riches and Honor (Formerly "Prosperity")
    Both Riches and Honor (formerly "Prosperity") By Annie Rix Militz. first published in 1945 A Unity Public Domain Book "Knowledge should be told, not sold" Charles Fillmore For a time, Annie went out to Missouri and worked with Charles Fillmore developing the Unity Branch of New Thought, but eventually she returned to California expanding the Home of Truth. The main Home of Truth still exists today. Global New Thought is working actively with Home of Truth to place all of Militz' texts online to facilitate online studies of this rich and wonderful New Thought denomination. This book was one of her many contributions to the Unity Movement. Prosperity through Spirituality CHAPTER I Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. IT IS NOW ESTABLISHED in the minds of many people that health of body is a legitimate result of spiritual knowledge and eventually will be one of the signs of a practical follower of Christ; but these same people, many of them, find it difficult to believe that health of circumstances can be demonstrated in the same way and is as legitimate and true a sign of the understanding of spiritual law as the healing of the body. Considering riches with a fair, unprejudiced mind, we shall understand why it is that they have been largely in the possession of the unspiritual instead of the children of God, to whom the heritage rightly belongs.

  • 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.
