Have you ever wondered where the “New Thought” movement came onto the world scene and when it had its rise? Actually, the word “new” does not apply here. “New Thought” began in the early 1800s and is credited to many of history’s “great thinkers.” I have read it is “the marriage of religion and metaphysics.” I guess this is as good of a definition as any. With New Thought, “the spiritual goes beyond the physical or transcends it.” The picture and image extend beyond what our physical bodies experience into the spiritual or energetic realm.
In truth, a man named Phineas P. Quimby is hailed as one of the main founders of the new thought movement as he began to explore the power of the mind through hypnosis. This is hardly new, though. His exploration of hypnosis and mind power began in the 1840s. After him, and even some before him, many embraced what we now seem to still call New Thought. It feels more like an old thought to me! Even though I practice a type of hypnosis and meditation, I hardly consider it new age, new thought, or anything that is actually older than we realize. I often think, “Newer than what?” Don’t get me wrong, it all has its place, but in my taste, I can drop the religious part and move on to 5th-dimensional thinking. Remember, words have power, and if you choose to call something “new,” it will always be new. You will never move beyond it. If that is your aim, then bravo! Honestly, I want to explore the coming new earth and transcend beyond what was and into what truly is and what will be!
Founder of QHHT, Dolores Cannon, spoke about the “new and old” earth. She spoke very candidly about how some will shift to a new reality and how some will simply not. Whatever is meant to be will be, but this also means waving “Goodbye” to those who choose to stay the same in this world. Our gift is evolution. We need to evolve, or we become stale and ritualistic.
You can read more on the history of “New Thought” and its founders here. We all make our choices in life, so no one is better than the other. There is one that is more progressive, and that is choosing to shift into more current 5-dimensional living and thinking. Do you desire to be a part of the new earth? Let’s go!
Just a little FYI here to help your mind search for more if you should choose!
