New Thought Essays on Creative Consciousness, Spiritual Individualism, and Self-CultureBy Prentice MulfordLength8h 49m
About this audiobook
Thoughts Are Things & The God in You gathers Prentice Mulford's influential reflections on the formative power of thought, presenting consciousness as an active force capable of shaping character, circumstance, health, and spiritual understanding. Written in an accessible, aphoristic, and exhortatory style, the book combines practical counsel with speculative metaphysics: readers are urged to discipline fear, cultivate constructive imagination, and recognize an indwelling divine principle rather than depend upon external authority. Its optimistic vocabulary and emphasis on personal transformation place it squarely within the late-nineteenth-century New Thought movement, while its confidence in intuition and inner divinity recalls Transcendentalist and broader esoteric traditions. Mulford (1834–1891) was an American journalist, humorist, lecturer, and essayist whose experiences in California and engagement with spiritual and reformist currents helped shape his distinctive philosophy. Writing at a moment when orthodox religion, scientific materialism, spiritualism, and popular psychology were in vigorous debate, he sought to translate metaphysical ideas into everyday guidance. His work helped establish the literary and intellectual foundations of New Thought and influenced later writers of inspirational self-help. This volume will reward readers interested in the history of positive thinking, American religious liberalism, mind-cure literature, and spiritual self-cultivation. Though some claims reflect the period's speculative assumptions, Mulford's lucid prose and persistent insistence on inward responsibility remain provocative, making the book valuable both as a historical document and as an invitation to examine how beliefs shape lived experience.
