"Compassion unites Metta and New Thought, illuminating the profound impact of our minds on reality, fostering interconnectedness and personal transformation." Michael Corthell In the domain of progressive spiritual philosophies, two noteworthy concepts stand out: Metta ( Maitrī) , a cornerstone of Buddhist teachings, and New Thought , a movement rooted in 19th-century American metaphysical thought.
