Nya tankar med gamla anor : En studie av New Thought-rörelsen och dess inspirationskällorBure WIjk, Helena January 2014 (has links)
Finns det gnostiska föreställningar inom dagens New Age rörelse? Hur gestaltar de sig vad gäller tanken om gnosis och dualism? Jag fokuserar i mitt uppsatsarbete på en strömning inom New Age- rörelsen som går under benämningen New Thought, en rörelse som uppstod i 1800-talets USA och som fått stort gehör, framför allt genom amerikansk självhjälpslitteratur. Jag har därför valt att studera litteratur inom denna genre, för att se på vilka sätt det gnostiska tankegodset förmedlas idag. Jag använder den vetenskapliga litteraturen som forskningsbakgrund och den amerikanska självhjälps - litteraturen som studieobjekt. Resultaten av min studie visar att man inom New Thought rörelsen utgår från att människan är gudomlig och att hon kan återuppväcka minnet av sin egen gudomlighet. Uppvaknandet kommer att leda till ökat välstånd och framgång på alla plan då hon blir medveten/upplyst och börjar skapa sin egen verklighet genom att välja positiva tankar. Sjukdom, fattigdom och problem är illusioner. Kroppen och det materiella framställs på ett tvetydigt sätt inom New Thought – rörelsen. Gränslösa, gudomligt positiva tankar tros manifesteras i form av hälsa, skönhet, välstånd och materiella ting, samtidigt som kroppen framställs som något negativt, något som ska underordnas det gudomliga medvetandet. Föreställningen om gnosis är därför central och belyses starkt inom New Thought rörelsens självhjälpslitteratur och verksamhet. Den dualistiska föreställningen med anor från gnosticismen är visserligen nedtonad, men fullt skönjbar.

Horatio W. Dresser and the philosophy of new thoughtAnderson, C. Alan January 1963 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / This dissertation is a prolegomenon to the study of (1) the early philosophy of Horatio Willis Dresser (1866-1954) as it relates to New Thought and (2) the philosophical foundations of New Thought as they relate to Dresser.
New Thought is a philosophical-religious movement which originated in the United States in the nineteenth century. While it seeks to provide a complete approach to life, its primary field of emphasis has been healing by nonphysical means.
New Thought's background is provided by the ancient tradition tradition of religious healing, American philosophy largely of the nineteenth century, and speculation inspired by phenomena produced by mesmerism, also known as animal magnetism [TRUNCATED]

New thought in South Africa : a profileVenter, Maré 11 1900 (has links)
Against the background of New Thought history in general, the dissertation researches
the origins of the movement in South Africa. On the basis of primary documents, made
available by leaders and other informants, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews
and participant observation, the roots and history of New Thought in South Africa has
been reconstructed. Aspects of New Thought belief, such as God, Jesus, Christ, the
Bible, prayer, meditation, wealth, prosperity, death and reincarnation are discussed. It
becomes apparent that, with its syncretistic, flexible and open structure, as well as the
unique way in which services (weddings, christenings, funerals) are conducted, New
Thought offers an alternative to spiritual and religiously minded people in South Africa,
and shows potential to play a dynamic role in the cross-cultural bridging that is taking
place in a changing South Africa. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Religios Studies)

Le re-nouveau du « New Thought Movement » aux Etats-Unis : l'exemple de la Floride / The « New Thought Movement » in the United States : the example of FloridaMurillo, Philippe 16 November 2009 (has links)
Depuis sa création en 1838, le mouvement New Thought poursuit son chemin à la tête de la mouvance religieuse métaphysique aux Etats-Unis. Considéré comme un croisement d’idées politiques et religieuses, le mouvement constitue un élément incontournable de la construction de l’identité américaine. Se présentant comme un métissage de théologies occidentales et orientales, ce mouvement thérapeutique s’impose comme un phénomène culturel pertinent dans l’étude du champ religieux. Evoluant de la substantialité vers le procès, le mouvement s’est engagé tout récemment vers une transformation idéologique, à la recherche d’un renouveau spirituel et d’une ré-activation de son pluralisme religieux et de son dynamisme sous la forme du Process New Thought. / Since its creation in 1838, the New Thought Movement has led the metaphysical religious movement in America. It is a landmark in the construction of the American identity since it has always been at the crossroads of spiritual and political ideas. As a blend of Western and Eastern theologies, this therapeutic movement stands out as a cultural landmark in religious studies. Moving from Substance New Thought to Process New Thought, it has recently engaged in an ideological transformation leading to both a spiritual renewal and a re-activation of its dynamic religious pluralism.

The religious thought of Emmet Fox in the context of the New Thought MovementVenter, Maré 30 November 2004 (has links)
The religious significance of Emmet Fox (1886-1951), a pioneer in the New Thought movement, is the focus of this study. The relevance of Fox's religious thought will be determined in reference to and in the context of contemporary theorist Ken Wilber's theoretical framework of integral hermeneutics. On the basis of Fox's primary writings, biographical information, the ideas and philosophy of modern New Thought scholars and Wilber's literature, Fox's religious thought was interpreted and evaluated. Aspects of Fox's belief, such as creative mind, scientific prayer, meditation and healing, concepts such as God, Jesus Christ, death, reincarnation, karma and end times, as well as his method of biblical exegesis are discussed. It becomes apparent that Emmet Fox, preacher and teacher, had never intended to provide a scientific or academic structural doctrine in which to deliver his teaching. His non-conformist, simple, yet well thought-through beliefs, which include esoteric, eastern and universal truths, focused on the fundamental truths that are necessary for humanity's evolutionary development. This approach made Fox's teaching valuable to his audience of the time, a changing American consciousness, as well as appropriate to a transformational South Africa, where it is relevant in bridging the various cultures, languages, and religious beliefs within a continuously changing spiritually minded population, and most of all, beneficial to every person's inner spiritual journey towards ultimate enlightenment.
Fox's underlying religious belief is that `the thought is the thing' and this endorses the whole of the New Thought teaching, which states that `whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve' or `be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind'. Probably the most remarkable feature of his religious thinking is his popular allegorical interpretation of the Bible, which he interprets spiritually.
It is apparent that there is an affinity between the religious thought of Emmet Fox and that of Wilber. Although the intent of this study is not to compare these scholars, it is interesting and valuable to Fox's interpretation that they advocate a similar underlying belief in the holistic Kosmos and the importance of having an integral vision. / Religious Studies & Arabic / D.

Den gudomliggjorda människan : En analys av E.W. Kenyons lära om tro och perfekt hälsaLundberg, Peter January 2013 (has links)
This essay analyzes the doctrines of the revival preacher E.W. Kenyon (1867-1948), such as perfect health, faith and positive thinking. Two of his late works from 1941 and 1942 is analyzed and contextualized referring to the contemporary New Thought movement, Christian revival movements and religious pragmatism in America during the late 19th century continued into the 20th century. Kenyon’s anthropology, his soteriology and epistemology is showed to be pneumocentric in a way that can be compared with the New Thought movement, but also has connections to Christian revival theology and Christian mysticism. Nevertheless, Kenyon’s theological system is eccentric compared with Christian faith, but it is also divergent from New Thoughts rejection of the atonement of Christ. Kenyon’s doctrine of perfect health and the possibility for a Christian to experience completely divine healing through faith is explained by his eccentric theological system. Therefore it is suggested that Kenyon is a predecessor of positive thinking dressed in a mix of Christian doctrines, New Thought ideas and a pragmatic adaptation of psychological and religious pragmatism.

The Home of Truth: The Metaphysical World of Marie OgdenThayne, Stanley J. 24 November 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Marie Ogden's Home of Truth colony—a religious community that was located in southern Utah during the 1930s and 40s—was part of a segment of the American religious landscape that has largely been overlooked. As such, her movement points to a significant gap in the historiography of American religion. In addition to documenting the history of this obscure community, I situate Marie Ogden as part of what I call the early new age of American religion, an underdeveloped part of the broader categories of metaphysical religion or Western esotericism. This thesis also points to several other overlooked figures from the same era, suggesting several avenues for further study.

Parole et dialogue : de la pronominalité à l'engagement éthique : Rosenzweig, Buber, Levinas / Speech and dialogue : from the pronominality to the ethical commitment : Rosenzweig, Buber, LevinasGutierrez Velasco, Carlos Alberto 02 July 2014 (has links)
L’homme contemporain présente une méfiance à l’égard de la parole. Il lui est difficile de trouver en elle, un outil pour établir un dialogue et se lancer vers la rencontre de l’Autre. Dans notre travail, nous abordons cette question sous l’angle d’une double triade qui articule d’un côté, Dieu - Monde - Homme et de l’autre, Création - Révelation - Rédemption. Cette double articulation est exposée dans la Nouvelle Pensée de Franz Rosenzweig, dans le Principe Dialogique de Martin Buber et dans l’appel du visage d’Emmanuel Levinas. Chacun, à sa façon, donne les implications de la parole et du dialogue dans la construction de l’altérité. En elle, la séparation des rôles, voire la pronominalité, est une condition indispensable. C’est en l’assumant que nous pourrons prendre en main un engagement éthique que soit libre de tout calcul ou de commerce de réciprocité. / Modern man has a distrust of speech. It is difficult to find in it, a tool for dialogue to engage oneself to meet the Other. In our work, we address this issue in terms of a double - triad that articulates on the one hand : God - World - Man and and on the other hand, Creation - Revelation - Redemption. This double articulation is exposed in the New Thought of Franz Rosenzweig, in the Principle Dialogic by Martin Buber and the face - to - face of Emmanuel Levinas. Each one, in his own way, gives the implications of speech and dialogue in the construction of "otherness". In it, the separation of roles, even primarily, is a prerequisite. It is by assuming that we can take over an ethical commitment that is free of any calculation or trade reciprocity.
