10-WEEK SUMMER CLASSES ONLINE

Basic Principles 1

The class, Basic Principles 1, is a meticulously designed curriculum introducing the world of metaphysical teachings or New Thought. 

The following is taken from William L. Fischer. Alternatives: New Approaches to Traditional Christian Beliefs 

“Many of the doctrines and teachings of the Christian religion are accepted by its followers without question. Many of us learned the tenets of our religion early in life—perhaps during our Sunday school days. As life became more complicated, we simply continued to accept what we had learned earlier. Life no longer afforded time for religious exploration and development. This book is intended to give you an opportunity to explore some of the beliefs you have accepted and to determine for yourself whether they are still fitting.

If growth is promoted, bear in mind that growth means change, and change is not always comfortable. But the experience of personal growth is well worth temporary discomfort. I trust that what you are about to read will become an adventure in growth for you.”

Welcome to an enriching journey towards deeper spiritual insight and personal transformation.

The following is taken from  The New Thought Christian by William Warch

"There is a quiet revolution taking place throughout the world which is in reality a sign of spiritual growth. Many people are breaking away from traditional dogmatic religious beliefs declaring that, "It isn't right for me." This has all come about by people who feel God is more than a judgmental overseer in the sky who sends some people to heaven and others to hell. There must be a higher definition for people other than "sinners." Within the heart of these individuals is the conviction that there is a God or Supreme Power that they wish to embrace every minute of every day instead of fear. These people seek a new definition of God, Christ, and Holy Spirit. They seek a loving presence rather than one that triggers guilt and duty. "

The following is an excerpt taken from Emily Cady's book, Lessons in Truth

"In entering upon this course of instruction, each of you should, so far as possible, lay aside, for the time being, all previous theories and beliefs. By so doing you will be saved the trouble of trying, all the way through the course, to put "new wine into old wineskins" (Lk. 5:37). If there is anything, as we proceed, which you do not understand or agree with, just let it lie passively in your mind until you have read the entire book, for many statements that would at first arouse antagonism and discussion will be clear and easily accepted a little farther on. After the course is completed, if you wish to return to your old beliefs and ways of living, you are at perfect liberty to do so. But, for the time being, be willing to become as a little child; for, said the Master, in spiritual things, "Except ye . . . become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Mt. 18:3). If at times there seems to be repetition, please remember that these are lessons, not lectures."  

"Finally . . . be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might" (Eph. 6:10).
