New Thought Practices

New Thought Millennials are overwhelmingly independent practitioners. One of the reasons for this is a shared understanding that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is the highest spiritual teaching imparted to humanity through humanity.

This truth is not commonly taught in most old New Thought communities which means they are less attractive to Millennials.

New Thought Millennials embrace spiritual practices such as meditation, conscious communication and spiritual mind treatment (cognitive psychology) etc... as the means to personal evolution and co-creation of Civil Societies which are robust vehicles for the creation of a compassionate culture throughout the world.

Spiritual practice is a means by which we individually evolve. It should be noted that while New Thought spiritual practices are ancient, they have been validated by medical science. Successful scientists, artists, musicians, athletes and astronauts use many of these tools to achieve higher levels of creativity. This is because happy successful people share in common the understanding that as we cultivate higher consciousness, focus attention upon the expansion of our awareness and compassion, and develop personal wisdom, we are able to manifest our dreams. Wisdom is the combination of knowledge with compassion. While those who operate from the "Reptilian Brain" often have erroneous concepts leading to beliefs that domination is the key to success, higher thinkers are aware that the greatest success comes through partnership and co-creation.  

 Through intention to live lives of dynamic compassionate action to this and Spiritual Practices to support that intention, we are able to transform our thinking and consequently our hearts which opens the flow of divine dynamics into our lives through higher thinking.  The result is joyful success.

Forgiveness is a New Thought Practice

Forgiveness is a New Thought Spiritual Practice

Forgiveness is a spiritual practice and has been taught as such by the Buddha, Jesus, and many other spiritual wayshowers. Wikipedia defines forgiveness as: "is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness, with an increased ability to wish the offender well."

There is a story about Ghandi meeting with some of his compatriots after being imprisoned by the British. He asks them: "Have you forgiven them?" One of them said: "I am too busy to do anything but wish them well." Another replied: "I am beginning to let go of my anger." A third one said: "I will never forgive them! Never!"

Ghandi paused, then told the first one: "You have moved beyond that time and place," then to the second he said: "You are moving through the gates." The third he admonished saying, "You are still in prison."

Practicing Forgiveness frees us from the destructive violence of anger. Anger is like holding a hot coal, it does not harm the object of your hatred, it only harms you. We gain clarity through attaining inner peace which enables us to embody wisdom.

Forgiveness as a spiritual practice is also part of the Abrahamic path. There are a number of quotes in the New Testament (the primary book for Christians): Acts 7:59-60, 1 Corinthians 13:4 - 6, 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, John 8:7, Luke 6:37, Luke 17:3-4, Luke 23:33-34, Matthew 18: 21-22, Matthew 5:23-24, Romans 12:20.

There are also a number of quotes in the Old Testament (An important book for all four Abrahamic religions and an essential book for the Jewish Abrahamics.): Psalm 86:4-5, Galatians 3:6-14); Isaiah 53:1-12; Hebrews 9:15;

We cannot expect the ego to go along with it easily, yet as we let go of the crushing victimhood that anger and lack of forgiveness creates, we let go and let God which heals us and sets us free.

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." 

This quote echoes up through the centuries. We look to him, as well as other great mystical teachers, for guidance.  In this passage, Yesua is making a clear admonition for people not to be ignorant fools. An important part of wisdom is forgiveness. It is easy to read a bunch of books, to memorize a particular book or set of books, but we must go beyond simply parroting the wisdom of others. We must live the truth so that we become the truth and our sharing is not only words but action.

The way of freedom is simple. Do not look outside yourself, simply let go. There is no need to waste any mental or emotional energy. We simply allow the higher power of our Love and Wholeness (Spirit) to flow through us. This is the meaning of "let go and let God."

You do not have to cling to the word "God," you can substitute the word: "Divine."

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.” ~ Martin Luther King

“I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.” ~ Booker T. Washington

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” ~ Catherine Ponder

“Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.” ~ Oscar Wilde

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace” ~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

“Without forgiveness, there's no future” ~ Desmond Tutu

“Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.” ~ William Arthur Ward

“Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” ~ Abraham Lincoln

There are New Thought Buddhists, New Thought Taoists and New Thought Pagans who have would never call themselves Christian, nor claim any Abrahamic influence whatsoever. They accept that New Thought Abrahamics (Jews, Christians, Mohammedans, Mormons), and New Thought Vedics share the same Universal Principles of New Thought but would never characterize themselves as Abrahamic.

It is understood that New Thought is a unique and powerful spiritual path which can characterized as a religion having its own spiritual practices and beliefs. Some in New Thought prefer to claim they have no beliefs and choose to express their beliefs as "knowing."

It is understood there are many "Wayshowers." The strength of the teaching of a particular Wayshower is demonstrated through the consciousness and actions of the followers of that path. The adherents of each spiritual path are collectively responsible to the rest of humanity and all life to insure that the expression of their path is not abusive or violent nor violates the rights of other beings.

There are even New Thought Fundamentalists who believe that "nothing is real and everything is in your mind." These folks share many thought patterns and behaviors with other Fundamentalists around the globe. Such extreme beliefs are held by a fraction of New Thought adherents.
