Right Thinking.

"Search for the Truth is the noblest occupation of man. Its publication is a duty." Madame de Staël

As words are living things they always objectify. When the undesirable comes into our existence it shows us that we have been doing some wrong thinking. Fanny Louise Middleton Harley - 1895

Politeness is the art of choosing among your thoughts.

Anne Louise Germaine de Staël-Holstein ( 1766 –  1817 ), commonly known as Madame de Staël, was a French woman of letters of Swiss origin whose lifetime overlapped with the events of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era. She was one of Napoleon's principal opponents. Celebrated for her conversational eloquence, she participated actively in the political and intellectual life of her times. Her works, both critical and fictional, made their mark on the history of European Romanticism.

“Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation, the source of strength is one's self. When one prays, he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.”

It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.

William Ellery Channing ( 1780 – 1842 ) was the foremost Unitarian preacher in the United States in the early nineteenth century and along with Andrews Norton, (1786-1853), one of Unitarianism's leading theologians. He was known for his articulate and impassioned sermons and public speeches, and as a prominent thinker in the liberal theology of the day. Channing's religion and thought were among the chief influences on the New England Transcendentalists, though he never countenanced their views, which he saw as extreme.

Mental Science

The rise into popularity of the teachings of the New Thought or Mental Science has familiarized many persons with the idea of thought-transference in some of its varied forms, until to-day we find that the majority of persons are prepared to admit that “there must be some fire where there is so much smoke.” Telepathy - Sidney A. Weltmer 1910

Lord of a thousand worlds am I,

And I reign since time began;

And night and day, in cyclic sway,

Shall pass while their deeds I scan.

Yet time shall cease ere I find release,

For I AM the soul of Man

Charles H. Orr

 “The fact is, most people pray to a god of their own making, a man-made god, a thing that does not exist, except in their own imagination, and then wonder why their prayers are not answered.” THE PASTOR'S SON by WILLIAM W. WALTER serves as an introduction to Christian Science, Science and Health and it explains the role of a Christian Science Practitioner.

It will be apparent at once to the reader that Walter Williams is merely a transposition of my own name.₁

 [SEQUEL TO THE PASTOR'S SON]:

Thoughts are things. Thoughts do NOT return unto you void. Thoughts are YOUR children.

During his experiments with telepathy Sidney Weltmer once sent the phrase

Golden Rule

 “In order to perfectly live the Golden Rule, one in business, to begin with, would be compelled to buy his merchandise in such a way that he would be dealing with the seller on the basis of the Golden Rule, as well as buying for his customers on the basis of the Golden Rule. The thought I want to bring out, is that we have left most things religious and spiritual down in the swamps of sentimentalism. The efforts of the church in the past have not been directed as much as they may toward educating and equipping men and women to live large and full lives. Whatever has come to the A. Nash Company in living the Golden Rule has come because there has been enough business knowledge to enable us to live it to just that degree, and whenever we have failed in exercising that very highest and keenest business judgment on a truly ethical basis. It has been because we did not have sufficient insight to understand our obligation measured by the Golden Rule. . . . In other words, perfect and infallible living of the Golden Rule would require infallible mentality and undaunted courage.”

Can I do that for others, and for myself? Be Intimate With Those Who Think Badly Of You

The Golden Rule

Rev. John Salmon wrote of ‘Holy Ann’

Your Purpose is to Be You.

It is like a postage-stamp then; it only has value if it sticks. Am I right about this: that what I really AM that I attract? Might this not be the meaning of Jesus' statement in Matthew 13:20 when he said "For whomsoever hath to him shall be given and he shall have more abundance; but whosoever hath not from him shall be taken away even that which he hath?" When one really HAS a husband in feeling and mentally pictures him one really does HAVE that husband; and he is sure to appear in form as a human being: Is this not having more abundance? How slowly I grow. First I wanted my husband to have understanding; now I see that he IS understanding.

JUST BE GLAD

Give your best to the world no matter how insignificant that best may be, and the world will invariably give its best to you. - Christian Daa Larson

Thou wouldst not be seeking God if thou hadst not already found Him.~ Pascal

Ann made it a daily custom to take a complete cold sponge bath. Just as she was preparing for this she suddenly stopped, and addressing God she said, "What is that you say, Father?" Then in a moment she burst out with the exclamation, "Yes, that is it. Thank you, Father." And then with rapture she repeated the following verses:

Pray without ceasing.

While still upon her knees, she said, "Lord, what is evil?" And the answer came, ''Anger, wrath, malice," ctc. All night long she wept and prayed as the inward sinfulness was revealed to her. Toward morning, in sheer desperation, she cried out, “O Lord, how will I know when I get deliverance?" The answer came, ''

An Ethical Business Practice.

IBM Founder and President Thomas J. Watson and Walter Russell, who lectured for 12 years to IBM executives and employees, were pioneers in a visionary new concept of ethical business practice, exploring the use of unchanging, universal principles of balanced thinking and action.

A new revelation of Christianity.

Mr. Quimby pointed back to Christianity, he did not take credit to himself. He saw that for hundreds of years the world had been deprived of an important portion of the gospel of Christ. Hence the teachings which have grown out of Quimby's pioneer work have been said to be nothing less than "a new revelation of Christianity.

Study carefully St. Matthew, chapter 13, verse 12.

Jesus uttered those golden words to teach mankind that like does attract like, invariably and infallibly. That passage states the law of attraction* at its best, including an unshakable faith, visualizing by means of which one HAS spiritually, or in the mind, even that which is sought, and which serves as a magnet of infinite power to draw to one the glad fulfillment in form, or physical reality, provided only one also WORKS confidently and happily to carry out the ideas the Father gives one, through intuition, as steps in the path to the shining goal. Now let us directly quote the passage, then strip it bare of all the "mystery" so many claim it contains for them. Unfortunately, to many that verse remains a riddle for life unless they are sufficiently interested to seek until they find the key to its solution. The passage reads: "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not from him shall be taken away even that he hath." The big question is: "For whosoever hath" what? Does it mean the one who has wealth of money, or property, or other earthly possessions? No, although the one who has the thing that is meant is certain to acquire financial independence and retain it. It means simply that "whosoever hath" the consciousness of the Father within, who has that exalted awareness as an abiding conviction, who has implicit faith in it, and who actively carries on in the work that one does, whatever it may be, the ideas of Life, Love, Beauty and Harmony the Father gives that one in an unending stream, to that one will be given all he may ever require, and to spare. But the person who "hath not" the high consciousness is subject to all the sorrows, lacks and other in-harmonies circumstances and conditions can bring to bear upon him, even to the point of losing all he has gained through habitual employment of secondary causation. . . for since he has not the awareness he is, or shall be, "under the rule of an iron destiny," to quote Troward, and dwells in anxiety and fear, knowing not that "the eternal God is our refuge and a very present help in trouble."
