There are many words that I can say about empowering the self and creating a peaceful world. There are more metaphors that I can use than there are leaders to speak of these truths. There is more readily available knowledge than there are students who are willing to learn of it. Everything that is needed is right here, right now, in this moment. It's as plain as the nose on your face.
In our past some people have chosen to embrace this knowledge and change our world for the better. In their own way, each of them has brought us to this moment in time. A moment in which there is a great choice. Either to lay the ideals of new thought by the waste side or carry these ideals forward in a new and exciting way, so that this movement can be felt by everyone on this planet.
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is going to come down to those who are asked to make a choice, those who claim to be of the spirit, the higher consciousness. There is much spirituality but no humanity, maybe it’s time for those who speak of service to serve. It is time for those who say they want a peaceful world to do it! We can all do more no matter how much we think we are doing.
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
So what can we do?
When I started questioning where the new age teachings came from and did my research on its origins. I came across the New Thought Movement which was not only a series of publications but an organized world peace effort via the empowerment of the self. It spoke of equality and the need for a universal unity. The movement was huge and even made it to the white house in the form of Woodrow Wilson. Wilson being an active member of this ideology, even had a plan to abolish war which was quickly squashed by his political rivals.
The fore-fathers of this new thought movement were highly influential in their day. Their original message is what we see today as the watered down “New Age Medium”. Although this movement truly started thousands of years ago, the founders of The New Thought Movement were the first to organize it into a world peace effort. The original New Thought Movement was not only active but pro-active and the ideals were bold and strategic.
The great minds of Emerson, Robinson, Kidd, Wood, Hill and many others wrote about these principles in a very direct and blunt fashion. Their bravery cannot be forgotten and the world peace plan must not fizzle out due to the lack luster effort of those who were entrusted to carry it forward.
The New Thought Movement has a new resurgence thought the generation that stands before you.
If we do not do this who will?
