Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto.

We all came from somewhere, and people understand us better when they know where we have come from. All of us in New Thought and most of us in the larger meta-physical movement may trace our roots back to the clockmaker from Belfast, Maine, who, in a time before contemporary psychology, discovered the creative functioning of the unconscious and how we may all become aware of the wonders of wellness through self-discovery.  Our Quimby Heritage by Herman J.

• It is generally recognized by the world that man received his powers and capabilities from his Maker; and it is believed by a majority of the Christian world that to some extent God exists within the members of His human family, but in what shape or to what degree He lives within them, they have little or no knowledge, nor even a definite belief. But that man is really a medium for God is clear from the highest spiritual evidences. From these evidences it is apparent that man is not complete in himself; he is only complete in God. Paul says that “our sufficiency is of God,” and is not of ourselves; and he also carries the idea in the same connection that man should not take any credit to himself for any power of capability as being of himself. MAN A MEDIUM OF GOD BY JULIUS A. DRESSER
