The Subconscious Mind and Its Illuminating Light is another excellent example of New Thought spiritual practices and theory. The New Thought movement originated in the late 19th and early 20th Century. Its core beliefs are that there is an overarching higher power and that people can create their own reality through meditative and affirmation practices. In this book, Janet Young distils the classic elements of New Thought. She draws inspiration from such diverse thinkers as Balzac, Max Muller, Corelli, Seneca and St. Matthew. Young explains that individuals are active centres for the magnetic element of concentrated thought, which manifests as the Law of Attraction. To activate the Law of Attraction, individuals are taught to dwell upon its reality with mediation, chanting and prayer. Young also explains that the soul contains the power of electricity and the spirit communicates with all things and informs and compels all things to the service of mankind through the power of thought and will. As the Light illuminates one advances on the Way. Young's writing style is simple and spiritual. She is precise in her language and uses an economy of words, which makes readers feel like the important teachings have been distilled to their essence. Anyone can find meaningful insights in The Subconscious Mind and Its Illuminating Light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
