You begin to be healed from the moment you see the sources of trouble in yourself, your attitude and the mode of conduct springing from it;

for you then cease to blame your neighbors and your God, and begin with yourself.

HEALING in the spiritual sense of the word begins with the discovery of our inner powers as children of God, made in His image and likeness. ... it is never a mere question of illnesses and external obstacles to be surmounted, but of the attitudes, beliefs, habits, which underlie external conditions and give them their power over us.

His parents, Julius A and Annetta Seabury Dresser were patients/students of Quimby along with Mary Baker Eddy.

Horatio was perhaps the first child to grow up in New Thought.

Psychopomps

Psychopomps are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls to the afterlife. Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply provide safe passage.In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms.

Since the 1980's a lot of New Age books have been written of people claiming to get messages from a few of these. Of course in the 80's there was no internet and the lure of those books can be substantial if someone doesn't attend church and leans toward the occult, mediumship etc. But now as 2012 approaches one can easily check the internet and see what all this New Age stuff is about, check out the authors and see how much of it stands up to scrutiny.
Poop, nonsense, fantasy, fiction or schizoid. New Age is big money.
Nancy Tappe wrote about blue people and purple people in the 70's and mentioned indigo children. Most New Ager's books failed to mention that. What is Synesthesia?

"Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies."

Gurdjieff (1866? – 1949) claimed that people cannot perceive reality in their current state because they do not possess consciousness but rather live in a state of a hypnotic "waking sleep".
As a result of this condition each person perceives things from a completely subjective perspective. Gurdjieff stated that maleficent events such as wars and so on could not possibly take place if people were more awake. He asserted that people in their typical state function as unconscious automatons, but that one can "wake up" and become a different sort of human being altogether.

Seven Steps in Demonstration

Mildred Mann ( 1904 - 1971 ) was active in the New Thought Movement and taught metaphysics in New York City .
Her book Become What You Believe remains influential among non-denominational New Thought pratitioners and adherents, especially the section in which she defines the "Seven Steps in Demonstration":

• Desire. Get a strong enthusiasm for that which you want in your life, a real longing for something which is not there now.
• Decision. Know definitely what it is that you want, what it is that you want to do or have, and be willing to pay in spiritual values.
• Ask. [When sure and enthusiastic] ask for it in simple, concise language. . . .
• Believe. Believe in the accomplishment with strong faith, consciously and subconsciously.
  Work. Work at it. . . a few minutes daily, seeing yourself in the finished picture. Never outline details, but rather see yourself enjoying the particular thing . .
• Feel gratitude. Always remember to say, "Thank you, God," and begin to feel the gratitude in your heart. The most powerful prayer we can ever make is those three words, provided we really feel it.
• Feel expectancy. Train yourself to live in a state of happy expectancy. . . . Act it until it becomes part of you, as it must and will.

These are the seven steps. Follow them and they will bring you whatever it is that you need. She summarizes: Drop the problem, turn to God, and ask and claim your good. Stay turned in that direction , and you will have the secret of effective prayer. She concludes the book with several "points to remember and think about":

YOU are Divine Spirit.
YOU are a child of God.
YOU have been given complete dominion over your life.
With God all things are possible.
You are never alone, for God is always with you.
Be positive in thought and word and deed.
Live up to the highest you know in all things.
See the Presence of God in your fellow man, particularly when you do not like him.
Give something of yourself in everything you do and to everyone you meet, particularly when you do not feel like it.
Meditate daily.
"In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength."Isaiah 30:15
