DIVINE ONEship, SONship.
‘The truth, once announced, has the power not only to
renew but to extend itself. New Thought is universal in its ideals and therefore should be
universal in its appeal. Under the guidance of the spirit, it should grow in
good works until itembraces many lands and eventually the whole world.’ - James A Edgerton on New Thought Day, 23 August
1915.
‘If there is only one Law, one Power, one
Good, Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent all-loving Father, then we shall
step into the new day, and so a New Era Is Born.’– Grace
M Aguilar.
What is „New Thought‟?A system of thought which affirms the unity of God
with man, the perfection of all life, and the immortality and eternity of the
individual soul forever expanding.- Dr Ernest Holmes.
New Thought is an
idealism, as are all esoteric philosophies and religions- all religions that do
not separate man from God. It is also progressive, because it recognizes by its
fundamental principles and teachings that all healthful and normal ideals must
change, expand and develop, as the individual gains more light and truth, as he
expands and grows.- Abel Leighton Allen.
‘The name New Thought has been adopted by an ever-increasing body of
advanced minds throughout the world as being the most appropriate name for that
progressive, ever-advancing spiritual evolution going on among all classes of
religious and ethical thinkers to-day, and while it is not a sect or even an organisation
in the strict sense of those terms, it is a mighty and growing movement among
the most thoughtful, both inside and outside the churches.’– Program
Note, New Thought Conference,Adelaide, South Australia, August 1915.
New Thought is a
basic attempt to reinterpret the conventional dogmas of historic religion.’– Martin A Larson[1] , New Thought Religion [2].

Religious Approach (1985). ISBN 0-8022-2464-4. A
historical overview of the New Thought movement, giving it origins in the
European Enlightenment of the 18th century. New
Thought broadly describes the set of religions that claim to be based
on the Bible and Jesus Christ but which, in Larson's view, reject many basic
Christian doctrines : Phineas Quimby, Warren Felt Evans, and Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science.
Modern New Thought institutions: the Church of Divine Science, Unity, the Churches of Religious Science, and the International New Thought Alliance.
