Entering the Silence and Children.

Let me earnestly recommend all who read this chapter to apply themselves to this simple practice. This is what is meant by " making a center." This is "going into the silence." There is only silence when the thoughts are held in bound. It is in this silence that the spirit speaks its message. It is the silence of Healing : the silence of Instruction ; the Eloquent Silence.

CHILDREN are never too young to be trained in the New Thought. There were many things I might have added in the early days of my children's awakening intelligence had I known then what has since been made so plain. But it must be evident to you who read these pages that I was following my own intuition in their New Thought training and had no human guide.

It seems to me that almost the first thing to teach a child is how "to go into the silence." It is wonderful what an interest they take in this, and how beneficial it is in developing self reliance. My own children gave an hour of their time every evening after dinner to this practice. Earl called it " unharnessing." It was really a complete relaxation of mind and body; nerves and muscles were relaxed, and they were gradually taught to so control their thoughts that they could sit in the silence with me waiting in complete passivity for an hour of perfect repose.

Sleep is one thing ; conscious repose is another.

It has been shown me that my work is completed, and the next ten years of my life will be happy and quiet years. I do not know if this book will reach as many as I should like to reach, but perhaps it will be read when I am no longer here to speak. It may do good ; it cannot, I feel, do harm.

The love that passeth understanding is most nearly approached, I think, by that which binds child to parent, parent to child.

Though there be pangs of parting, heartaches and sorrow, it is well, for all is good.

Training of children in the new thought (1903) by Frances Partlow

Fear attracts as well as Desire.

Until WE learn how to pray, how can WE teach children?

Plenty of sunshine in life, if you look for it.

"I hang bright pictures in my mind"—Bright pictures encourage one; gloomy ones depress—Get rid of your old, gloomy mental pictures—Make a bonfire of them—Get rid of the particularly miserable one, first of all—Then put bright ones in their places

The Mind's Attainment (1911) By Uriel Buchanan

"EVERY reader of New Thought literature is familiar with the charming literary style of Mr. Buchanan. This book expresses more nearly the high ideals of the author than anything he has hitherto published. It gives the essence of a beautiful and Uplifting philosophy that cannot fail to benefit and instruct humanity.
