Master Teachers

Students of ACIM would appreciate the works of Phineas Quimby, Thomas Troward, Emma Curtis Hopkins and Julius or Horatio Dresser.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

Thomas Troward was the father of Mental Science. His books and lectures from the early 1900's are insightful. I find him reminiscent of Kenneth Wapnick discussing A Course in Miracles. The Dressers were great at putting all the pieces and summarizing Mental Science. Emma Curtis Hopkins writes with heart and conviction as she speaks of the "Science of Truth". She truly was the "Teacher of Teachers" in it's every day practical applications.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

New Age stuff, no. Really new age stuff. What they taught was the power within and how to harness it. How to see the Good in all and make the world a little Lighter. Those with an internal frame of reference, such as myself, will resonate to it. Those with an external frame of reference will seek outside themselves. The lure of much of the New Age.
Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion
