Thank you to all the people around Australia who email us to enquire about local meetings and subscribing to this newsletter. Until now, I've often had to respond with "there isn't one". So we are now offering phone meetings as a way of you becoming involved and having your questions answered. The first of these will be with me and Dr Laurie Levine from Sydney. It will be a free evening conference call in the week of March 9th. We've yet to set a time and date. But if you'd like to talk about your interest in New Thought with like-minded people and have Laurie and me answer any questions you have, please email us and we'll include you on the call list. Our goal is to keep you connected and create local groups where you can meet and discuss how to change your perpective to enrich and empower your life. |

From
the Archives Prentice
Mulford (1834-1891) If you want to go backward in every sense, mental and physical, keep on cultivating the mood of living regretfully in your past life. It is one chief characteristic of the material mind to hold tenaciously to the past. It likes to recall the past and mourn over it. The material mind has a never-ending series of solemn amusement, in recalling past joys, and feeling sad because they are never to come again. But the real self, the spirit, cares relatively little for its past. it courts change. It expects to be a different individual in thought a year hence from that it is today. It is willing a thousand years hence to forget who or what it is today, for it knows that this intense desire to remember itself for what it has been retards its advance toward greater power and greater pleasure. Do you want ever to bear with you the memory and burden of past pain? Especially when such burden brings more pain and deprives you of pleasure. It is like the bird that should insist on carrying with it always the shell from which it was hatched. If you have a sad remembrance fling it off. Your spirit demands for the body it uses grace, agility of movement and personal beauty, for it is made in the "image of the infinite mind" and life, beauty, grace and agility are the characteristics of that mind. |
