NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS S Copyright, 1910, By orison SWETT MARDEN Twenty-fifth Printing S'U OS ^ Printed in the United States of America TO MY FRIEND EDWIN MARKHAM PREFACE HE demand during its first two years for nearly an edition a month of " Peace, Power, and Plenty,'' the author's last book> and its republication in England, Germany, and France, together with the hundreds of letters re- ceived from readers, many of whom say that it has opened up a new world of possibilities to them by en- abling them to discover and make use of forces within themselves which they never before knew they pos- sessed, all seem to be indications of a great hunger of humanity for knowledge of what we may call the new gospel of optimism and love, the philosophy of sweetness and light, which aims to show how one can put himself beyond the possibility of self-wreckage from ignorance, deficiencies, weaknesses, and even vicious tendencies, and which promises long-looked- for relief from the slavery of poverty, limitation, ill- health, and all kinds of success and happiness enemies. The author's excuse for putting out this companion volume, " The Miracle of Right Thought," is the hope of arousing the reader to discover the wonderful forces in the Great Within of himself which, if he could un- lock and utilize, would lift him out of the region of anxiety and worry, eliminate most, if not all, of the discords and frictions of life, and enable him to make of himself everything he ever imagined he could and longed to become. The book teaches the divinity of right desire ; it vii viu PREFACE tries to show that the Creator never mocked us with yearnings for that which we have no ability or possi- bility of attaining; that our heart longings and aspi- rations are prophecies, forerunners, indications of the existence of the obtainable reality, that there is an actual powerful creative force in our legitimate de- sires, in believing with all our hearts that, no matter what the seeming obstacles, we shall be what we were intended to be and do what we were made to do ; in visualizing, affirming things as we would like to have them, as they ought to be ; in holding the ideal of that which we wish to come true, and only that, the ideal of the man or woman we would like to become, in thinking of ourselves as absolutely perfect beings possessing superb health, a magnificent body, a vigor- ous constitution, and a sublime mind. It teaches that we should strangle every idea of deficiency, imperfec- tion, or inferiority, and however much our apparent conditions of discord, weaknesses, poverty, and ill- health may seem to contradict, cling tenaciously to our vision of perfectiouj to the divine image of our- selves, the ideal which the Creator intended for His children ; should affirm vigorously that there can be no inferiority or depravity about the man God made, for in the truth of our being we are perfect and im- mortal ; because our mental attitude, what we habitu- ally think, furnishes a pattern which the life processes are constantly weaving, outpicturing in the life. The book teaches that fear is the great human curse, that it blights more lives, makes more people unhappy and unsuccessful than any other one thing; that worry-thoughts, fear-^thoughts, are so many malignant PREFACE ix forces within us poisoning the very sources of life, destroying harmony, ruining efficiency, while the op- posite thoughts heal, soothe instead of irritate, and increase efficiency and multiply mental power; that every cell in the body suffers or is a gainer, gets a life impulse or a death impulse, from every thought that enters the mind, for we tend to grow into the image of that which we think about most, love the best ; that the body is really our thoughts, mOods, convictions objectified, outpictured, made visible to the eye. " The Gods we worship write their names on our faces." The face is carved from within by invisible tools; our thoughts, our moods, our emotions are the chisels. It is the table of contents of our life history; a bulletin board upon which is advertised what has been going on inside of us. The author believes that there is no habit which will bring so much of value to the life as that of always carrying an optimistic, hopeful attitude of really ex- pecting that things are going to turn out well with us and not ill, that we are going to succeed and not fail, are going to be happy and not miserable. He points out that most people neutralize a large part of their efforts because their mental attitude does not correspond with their endeavor, so that although working for one thing, they are really expecting some- thing else, and what we expect, we tend to get; that there is no philosophy or science by which a man can arrive at the success goal when he is facing the other way, when every step he takes is on the road to failure, when he talks like a failure, acts like a failure, for prosperity begins in the mind and is impossible while the mental attitude is hostile to it. X PREFACE No one can become prosperous while he really ex- pects or half expects to be always poor, for holding the poverty-thought keeps him in touch with poverty- producing conditions. The author tries to show the man who has been groping blindly after a mysterious, misunderstood God, thought to dwell in some far-off realm, that God is right inside of him, nearer to him than hands and feet, closer than his heart-beat or breath, and that he liter- ally lives, moves, and has his being in Him ; that man is mighty or weak, successful or unsuccessful, har- monious or discordant, in proportion to the complete- • ness of his conscious oneness with the Power that made him, heals his wounds and hurts, and sustains him every minute of his existence ; that there is but one creative principle running through the universe, one life, one truth, one reality ; that this power is divinely beneficent, that we are a necessary, inseparable part of this great principle-current which is running God- ward. The book teaches that everybody ought to be happier than the happiest of us are now ; that our lives were intended to be infinitely richer and more abundant than at present ; that we should have plenty of every- thing which is good for us ; that the lack of anything which is really necessary and desirable does not fit the constitution of any right-living human being, and that we shorten our lives very materially through our own false thinking, our bad living, and our old-age con- victions, and that to be happy and attain the highest efficiency, one must harmonize with the best, the l^ghest thing in him.

  • 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.

    Pushing to the Front By Orison Swett Marden "The world makes way for the determined man." ----- Originally Published By The Success Company's Branch Offices PETERSBURG, N.Y. ---- TOLEDO ---- DANVILLE --- OKLAHOMA CITY ---- SAN JOSE COPYRIGHT, 1911, ----- Published In E-Book Format By Higher Bracket Online Media Inc. 2007 http://www.HigherBracket.ca ----- FOREWORD This revised and greatly enlarged edition of "Pushing to the Front" is the outgrowth of an almost world-wide demand for an extension of the idea which made the original small volume such an ambition-arousing, energizing, inspiring force. It is doubtful whether any other book, outside of the Bible, has been the turning- point in more lives. It has sent thousands of youths, with renewed determination, back to school or college, back to all sorts of vocations which they had abandoned in moments of discouragement. It has kept scores of business men from failure after they had given up all hope. It has helped multitudes of poor boys and girls to pay their way through college who had never thought a liberal education possible. The author has received thousands of letters from people in nearly all parts of the world telling how the book has aroused their ambition, changed their ideals and aims, and has spurred them to the successful undertaking of what they before had thought impossible. The book has been translated into many foreign languages. In Japan and several other countries it is used extensively in the public schools. Distinguished educators in many parts of the world have recommended its use in schools as a civilization-builder.

True How to Obtain Our Own 3 How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True SECTION I Serene I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways, And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My heart shall reap where it hath sown, And garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own, and draw The brook that springs in yonder heights; So flows the good with equal law Unto the soul of pure delights. The stars come nightly to the sky; The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high, Can keep my own away from me. —John Burroughs. 4 How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True HOW TO OBTAIN OUR OWN SECTION I John Burroughs has expressed that certainty, that knowledge which comes to the awakened soul, to the effect that there is a sure supply for all its needs—a fulfillment of its every requirement—a coming true of its every earnest dream—a realization of its every high ideal.

  • INTA Archives Research Guide for Elizabeth Towne
    INTA Archives Research Guide for Elizabeth Towne Elizabeth Towne (1865-1960) Elizabeth Towne created the metaphysics journal Nautilus in 1909 in Portland, Oregon. She moved to Holyoke in 1880 to marry William Elmer Towne, vice president and secretary of her company called the Elizabeth Towne Company, Inc., after her first marriage to Joseph Holt Struble ended. Towne was instrumental in creating the New Thought movement, which centered on the power of self-help, self-healing, and positive thinking. She believed that being a vegetarian, having strong Christian beliefs, and exercising on a daily basis would assure longevity and happiness. The magazine eventually had 90,000 subscribers and was circulated around the world. She was an international lecturer for the International New Thought Alliance and served on many prominent boards and clubs, including the Hampden County Women's Club of Western Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Federation of Women's Clubs, and the Business and Professional Women's Club. In 1912, she and her husband sat as delegates at the convention of 1916 as one of the three state committeewomen of the Progressive party in 1913 and also served on the board of directors of the Massachusetts Federation of Progressive women. She was the first woman alderman-at-large in December 1926 and the first woman to declare her candidacy for mayor of Holyoke in 1928. She was known as a pioneer of truth and inspiration for the citizens of Holyoke and internationally. (Courtesy of the Holyoke Public Library.) 1 INTA Archives Research Guide
