5.0 out of 5 stars Essential New Thought book, December 21, 1998

This review is from: The Complete Writings: Vol 1 (Hardcover)

This volume, along with the second and third, are essential reading for anyone wanting to understand New Thought. Quimby was a clockmaker who experimented with mesmerism, clairvoyance, and finally developed the mental healing techniques that later gave birth to Christian Science and then New Thought Christianity.

The later founders did not have access to the entire Quimby manuscripts, which we can now benefit from. Althought the writing is repetitious ( a collection of many short articles) there are gems throughout the pages.

It is fascinating to see the development of Quimby's thought, and also to realize that he was a more profound and original thinker than most of the people who were later influenced by him, directly or indirectly.

For a good introduction to Quimby, see Erwin Seale's "Mingling Minds". However, the student who is desires to transform his or her own thought, should read the present three volume set.
