Modern New Thought (Positive Thinking and the Law of Attraction)

Simply stated New Thought is the belief that our thoughts and behaviors create our experiences for good or ill.  
There is a God; Universal Mind, Infinite Intelligence or Omnipresent; seen as the Source of creation.  
Practitioners of New Thought know all are one with each other and the mind of God.  They know to change
one’s experience in the world; one must change one’s mind.  The principles of Modern New Thought are
based on this knowledge and from principles from various religions, philosophies, and studies of human
behaviors.

What's the difference between Modern New Thought and New Thought?

The practice of New Thought dates back to the 19th century.   Phineas Quimby is credited with its beginnings.  
Quimby, a healer believed all illness and healing occurred according to one’s state of mind.  Other pioneers of
New Thought include; Emma Curtis Hopkins, Nona L. Brooks and Melinda Cramer.  Practitioners of New
Thought have churches or community gatherings.

Modern New Thought is a philosophy of life, not a religion.  Practitioners apply spiritual principles in a personal
manner without church structure or community gatherings.  Four major principles are followed daily;

1) A daily connection to God through meditation.
2) Striving to employ only positive thoughts, words and behaviors in your daily life.
3) Practice forgiveness of the past and present.
4) Expressing gratitude daily in a journal.

Practitioners of Modern New Thought do not equate all illness with negative thinking.
