The announcemect that there is to be another New Thought convention raises the question whether any attempt will be made to state precisely what the New Thought is. I mean for the benefit of the outsider, not only the man of ordinary education, but the scholar. Usually the statements are for the benefit of the essayest; as a result the outsider is greatly mystified. For example, when the convention was held in Boston scarcely a statement was made that would enlighten the man who had never heard of the theory and practice of mental healing. The fact that a "single taxer" and a number of other people spoke whose views were not of the New Thought type, simply added to the confusion. It seems to me that such a convention should at the outset consider the following questions: What is the New Thought? How is it related to the tendencies of the age? What is the general theory of mental healing? What light does mental healing practice throw on the nature of (a) disease, (b) the human mind, (c) the ultimate problems of metaphysics, (d) the "everlasting realities of religion”? The attempt to state the New Thought in precise terms would perhaps lead to the abandonment of this vague and highly objectionable term. But the result would be worth while, for attention would once more be put upon the vital interests which have lately been covered up by the dogmatic, com mercial and unthoughtful New Thought. Some of us abandoned the term years ago for very much the same reasons that led to the abandonment of the term "Mental Science." The essential is not the term with the vagaries which have spoiled it, but the facts and results of mental healing. It is not because of any lack of interest in this vital subject that many people have withdrawn from all New Thought affiliations, but because of the side issues which have been made so prominent. If the attempt is now made to recover the realities, set aside personal predilictions, and state the simple facts so that even the fool and the man of science can see something vital in them, there will undoubtedly be a revival of interest in the principles which such books as those of Dr. W. F. Evans pleaded for. The prevailing fault of most of the recent mind-cure books is that they are so general, that the characteristic principles which made the mind-cure movement possible have been obscured. I am often asked by clergymen and others to recommend books that make clear what the New Thought is, and I am compelled to confess that there are no books that I can recommend without qualifications, because the term now means so many things that it means practically nothing on which all agree. It is supposed that the reason for lack of interest in mental healing theories on the part of the better educated public is due to the public, not to the expositions of the New Thought. In my twenty-two years of experience in this field I have not found this to be the case. During a dozen years of somewhat intimate acquaintance with college students and professors, I have found them entirely ready to consider new interests and theories the moment these new intetests are intelligibly stated. The college man calls for facts. But to discover what a fact is, is no small attainment, for that which passes for a fact is usually a belief. To separate facts from |
