The Heart of the New Thought

Ella Wheeler Wilcox established her New Thought reputation in poetry and this book is a penetrating extension of her thinking. The text is written in a devotional or meditative format. Each chapter develops one key idea. The ideas touch the hem of metaphysical insight and occult truths, and the wisdom she shares is both deep and practical. This is one book that you will want to refer to often as you put into practice her timely thoughts. Health Research Books online also offers this text. Don't miss out! It's the wisdom your grandmother wants you to cherish.

Ella spins her summary in her individual poetic style bringing about a rendering of positive living and independent thought that makes this work so very sublime!

The New Thought is a lovely philosophy both clear and simple in its explanation. As in all of Wilcox's writings she is the eternal optimist. At the beginning of each year I reread this book. It has become one of my classics.

Thank you Kessinger Publishing for this reprint of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's book, Heart of the New Thought, originally published in 1902! It is a real gem! As the publisher points out, the backbone of her philosophy is The Power of Right Thought, an ageless topic.The concepts in her book are incredibly simple. But therein lies their complexity. In her first "thought" she writes: the young men of France are studying alchemy, hoping to learn the secret of the transmutation of gold. But if you will study your own spirit and its limitless powers, you will gain a greater secret than any alchemist ever held; a secret which shall give you whatever you desire.Now that is some promise! And with serious, repetitive "thought work," it is possible. Ms. Wilcox explains why we need to control our thoughts and how we can achieve this. She describes various facets of the mind and how it is used to heal or to maim. But do not be tricked by the refreshing simplicity of her writings, nor put off by her sometimes stern manner. Each word is worth its weight in gold.This book is like a chat with a good friend. Its words speak directly to the heart and urge us to be just a little more us. You will find that you turn to the book for inspiration, wisdom, companionship... Its words can be read over and over and each time yet another facet (of yourself) revealed. Ms. Wilcox jars our thinking, and challenges us to become who we really are. At the same time she makes us laugh at ourselves and our gullibility. Forget about complaining, there are no obstacles, why worry...Remember, Man is what he thinks. And she repetively reminds us of this as well as of our own Divinity. Powerful stuff indeed!Ernest Holmes drew on her teachings in his creation of the Science of Mind Philosophy. Perhaps that is from whence comes the famous Science of mInd motto, change your thinking, change your life! Think about it! It is that simple!
