  • 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.

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.

  • THE STATE CAPITOL BUILDING Sacramento, California. View from the Northeast Side
    THE STATE CAPITOL BUILDING Sacramento, California. View from the northeast side. ‘Abdu’l-Baha visited here during his stay in the city in 1912. He is believed to have stood under one of the trees on this side. (California State Library, California Section.) A HISTORY OF THE SACRAMENTO BAHA’I COMMUNITY, 1912-1991 by Peggy Caton The Sacramento Baha’i community was the first Baha’i group established in the Sacramento Valley of California and has played an important role in the development of other Baha’i communities in that region. It has grown in size from only a few believers, in the 1920s, to over one hundred Baha’is, in the 1990s. During this time, it has evolved from a relatively homogeneous group into a more complex urban community, char­ acterized by demographic diversity and differing perspectives. These developments in the Sacramento Baha’i commu­ nity have not been unique in American Baha’i history. In many ways, its history reflects the changes that have taken place in the wider Baha’i community over the last sixty years. This essay is an attempt to study this process of continuity and change at a local level. ‘Abdu’l-Baha visited Sacramento for two days in October of 1912. Although this visit received considerable attention from local residents and newspapers, there is no record of anyone becoming a Baha’i in Sacramento at that time. Nor is there any evidence of Baha’i activities following his stay there. 241 242 Peggy Caton Nonetheless, his visit to the city later became a symbolic link to ‘Abdu’l-Baha for the believers and an important part of the historical identity of the Baha'i community that devel­ oped in Sacramento a few years later.

  • The Romance of Metaphysics
    THE ROMANCE OF METAPHYSICS --------------------------------------------------- AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY, THEORY AND PSYCHOLOGY OF MODERN METAPHYSICS ~•~ By ISRAEL REGARDIE --------------------------------------------------- 1 "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. "Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." (Psalm 127.) "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 2, v. 5-6.) 2 I dedicate this book to DOROTHY 3 -------------------------------------------------------------- F O R E W O R D -------------------------------------------------------------- THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE WAR. Completed some months before I entered in the armed forces early in 1942, the manuscript has been in storage ever since. It was written primarily to establish certain points of relationship between the various metaphysical schemes and fundamental concepts of modern psychology. It has a sort of tentative personal meaning. Possibly a great deal more by way of synthesis could be acomplished to-day, with increased experience and knowledge of what psychiatry and psychoanalysis represent. However, I have decided to let the manuscript remain in its present form, unaltered and unmodified, since it was a spontaneous creative effort and may therefore serve some useful purpose to other students. Throughout, I have been moved by a sense of what I conceived to be fairness to the metaphysical schemes described. I have tried to avoid harsh prejudiced criticism. Nor have I gone too deeply into basic psychological concepts of the growth and structure of the psyche and the dynamic mechanisms it daily employs. However, such concepts are implicit in all the comments ventured in the different parts of the work.
