"Manifesting our desires is anchored in the words of Jesus: 'Believe in prayer that you have already received, and it shall be yours.' Faith and belief pave the path to manifestation." Michael Corthell In the realm of personal development and spirituality, various concepts have emerged, such as the law of attraction and manifestation. While these ideas have gained popularity, it is important for Christians to approach them through the lens of their faith.

The Inevitable Triumph of Goodness over Evil: A Historical Perspective

"Evil, embodied by authoritarianism, is inherently weak, ineffectual, and cowardly. In contrast, goodness, marked by justice, equality, and compassion, is inherently strong, effective, and courageous—endowing societies with resilience and progress." Michael Corthell Throughout history, the world has witnessed the rise of authoritarian and fascist regimes, characterized by the concentration of power, the suppression of dissent, and the glorification of a single authoritative figure. While these movements have often appeared formidable, a closer examination reveals a fundamental truth: evil, as embodied by these ideologies, is inherently weak, ineffectual, and cowardly, while the goodness that opposes it is strong, effective, and courageous. Evil as a Manifestation of Ignorance and Fear Evil, in this context, is not a force of inherent strength but rather a manifestation of ignorance and a deviation from the higher spiritual truths that the majority of humanity

Harnessing the Power of Your Mind: The Art of Autosuggestion

by Michael Corthell Unlocking Your Potential through Self-Induced Change In our journey to achieve personal growth and accomplish our goals, the power of the mind is a formidable ally. When we consciously decide to harness this power, we open doors to countless possibilities. One effective technique that taps into this potential is autosuggestion, a method akin to the placebo effect. Developed by pharmacist Émile Coué at the turn of the 20th century, autosuggestion offers a way to reframe our thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions, leading to transformative outcomes. Understanding Autosuggestion Autosuggestion is a self-induced form of hypnosis where individuals guide their own thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves the repetition of specific words, ideas, and images to convince oneself of their truth, with the intention of reshaping one's mindset, behaviors, and overall outlook. Just as the mind can influence the body's response to a placebo, it can als

The Power of Manifestation: Scientific Studies on the Placebo Effect and Hypnotism

''On observing and studying the phenomenon of hypnosis and the placebo effect, as well as the concept of feeling like one's desire has already been fulfilled, I have come to understand the power of the mind to shape physical reality. These ideas highlight the significance of the mind-body connection and reinforce the belief that our thoughts and emotions most certainly can influence our external circumstances.'' - Michael Corthell For decades, manifesting one's desires has been a popular topic among self-help gurus and spiritual leaders, who have taught the power of positive thinking and visualization. Neville Goddard, a prominent figure in the New Thought movement, took this idea a step further and believed that we could create our reality through the power of our thoughts and imagination. At first glance, this might sound like wishful thinking, but some scientific studies on the placebo effect and hypnotism suggest that our beliefs and thoughts can indeed infl

Veganism and New Thought Philosophy: A Harmonious Alliance

  "Veganism, rooted in compassion and interconnectedness, aligns seamlessly with New Thought philosophy. Together, they embody a vision of a harmonious world, where love, understanding, and unity prevail." Michael Corthell New Thought philosophy and veganism may seem like unlikely bedfellows at first glance, but a deeper examination reveals a profound alignment between these two belief systems. Rooted in principles of interconnectedness, compassion, and the power of thoughts to shape reality, both New Thought and veganism advocate for a more harmonious and conscious way of living. The Interconnectedness of All Life At the core of New Thought philosophy lies the concept of interconnectedness. It posits that all individuals are interconnected with one another and with the universe itself. Veganism, with its commitment to non-violence and compassion towards all sentient beings, resonates strongly with this principle. By abstaining from the consumption of animal products, vegans
