WHAT IS NEW THOUGHT? BY ANNIE RIX MILITZ EW THOUGHT is a new way of thinking about man, God, the world and about thought itself. Instead of regarding thought as ephemeral, powerless when unexpressd, unimportant and non-visible, advanced thinkers declare it to be the greatest of all the dynamics in the world; that it has actual, direct, effectual and immediate influence upon every thing, event and human being in the universe according to its quality and its quantity. It takes form in all that is visible and is the substance of all that appears to our senses. Thoughts are things and things are thoughts. “Thing” and “think” are twin words, according to the etymology of our language, and at their root are one. It is granted that the vibrations of the atmosphere, com­ municated to the water and land, and, from them, to organic things, are determining the trend of all formation. And back of the trembling of the airs and ethers are the finer forces of emotion and thought. A thought increases the heart-beats, stops or gives great volume to the breath, Jerks the muscles, throws the body into strenuous activities, that may be com­ municated to hordes of people who then proceed to change the face of the earth. Who can measure the influence of a single thought? The subJective power of thought has always been acknowl­ edged, but the newness of this present-day view of thought is, that it is considered in its objective influence, like steam and electricity.

CO, m a j t C & U ,, Thought is beginning to have a history in the dynamics of the world like the other forces, that have always been here, but “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new,” 2 Cor. undiscovered and unapplied. It is only a few years (compared 5:17. with the age of the human race) since steam was unknown as a servant of man, and it is within the memory of some of In this brief writing there is not space to quote texts upon us that electricity was very limited in its scope of usefulness. “the new name” that each will receive or the new song that The next half-century will look upon us in surprise, because the Psalmist and the angels sing; the new heart and new spirit of our obtuseness in recognizing and applying the mightiest that God gives us; the new commandment that Christ has left forces in the universe—thought and feeling. us. The new creation is working from center to circumference, Once the great Western Hemisphere was unknown to the having begun in the realm of thought and feeling. civilized world, and when it was discovered it was called The New World.

Thus it is man’s tardy recognition of these old, old truths thought and applying it to all the problems of life. about thought, that has caused this generation to name this There may be said to be three great classes of teachers and knowledge and its application “New Thought.” If a planet, students of New Thought: (1) those that give the scriptural, that is not in our astronomical list of planets, should suddenly pre-eminence, (2) those who work along mental lines, (3) and appear, we would call it the new planet, although it might be those who give place and power to the physical and material. cycles older, as a planet, than our own little earth. These are some of the ideas that have received the name These again have many schools or interpretations of the New Thought: that disease is of mental origin instead of ma­ great principles they have espoused.
