"We live in God and know it not." This is not a matter of belief, opinion, or speculation, but the Eternal Truth, and he who is able to comprehend it enters into the life and liberty of a son of God.
New Thought recognizes that all people and all their religions are in different stages of growth and evolution, and that every stage in human development being a necessary stage, should be recognized as such; therefore, New Thought does not make war against any religion. It recognizes the absolute right not only of religious bodies but of individuals to work out their Plan of Life according to the knowledge they are in possession of. There can, therefore, be no spirit of judgment, controversy or condemnation of any other body of people, even though they are in apparent opposition to what New Thought teaches.
New Thought recognizes the right of every man to live his own life in accordance with the highest dictates of his own mind and conscience; that where there is truth, there of necessity, must be freedom.

Charles Brodie Patterson (1854-1936)
Influential Early New Thought Leader
THERE IS NOTHING OUTSIDE YOU.
That is what you must ultimately learn,
for it is in that realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you.
The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling place of the Son of God,
who left not his Father,
and dwells not apart from Him.
Heaven is not a place nor a condition.
It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness,
and the knowledge that there is nothing else.
Nothing OUTSIDE this Oneness, and NOTHING ELSE within.
Minds ARE joined; bodies are not.
