New thought Is Not New

By Rev. Rachel Love Ph.D.

New Thought, often perceived as a distinctly modern phenomenon, reveals upon closer examination a surprisingly rich and ancient heritage. This book delves into this unexpected history, tracing the evolution of core New Thought principles-positive thinking, the interconnectedness of all things, and the inherent divinity within each individual-from ancient civilizations to its formal articulation in the 19th and 20th centuries. We will explore the resonance between ancient practices and beliefs, such as the emphasis on eudaimonia in ancient Greece, the concept of Ma'at in ancient Egypt, and the holistic worldviews of Sumerian civilization, with the modern tenets of New Thought. This is not an argument for direct lineage or causal connection, but rather an exploration of striking parallels that illuminate a persistent human striving for spiritual growth and understanding. The common thread connecting these diverse cultures and time periods is the enduring human quest for self-realization, a search for meaning and purpose that transcends geographical boundaries and historical contexts.
