In
New Thought, the Bible is the primary textbook for life. We use a
metaphysical approach to the Bible literature and understand that the
stories and events have something to say about man's developing awareness
of his relationship to God and what it means to open ourselves up to God's
activity.
To
the New Thought teacher and student, the Bible is the history of man - his
generation, degeneration, and regeneration. It tells how man came out of
God with a divine estate, forgot his origin, suffered limitation, even
death, and how his divine memory is re-awakened and quickened so that he
may regain his freedom and reclaim his divine birthright.
"Ye
shall know the Truth and the Truth
shall
make you free."
"You
Are Always Your Own Experience"

Each
of us interprets our own individual world through our own consciousness.
We cannot see the beauty and magnificence that is everywhere present
unless we are seeing through a consciousness of Love of the TOTAL SELF.
We
often ask ourselves: "Why did this happen to me?" It happened
because your self is always directing mind to create the experience of
your self. Whatever happens can only be interpreted through your own
Identity.
Things
and people are automatically in your life, but they are only there to
correspond to your self-image and to your self-expression.
No
one has ever given you anything or taken it away. No one has ever done
anything to you.
You
Are Always Your Own Experience! |
