history

New Thought is a metaphysical movement loosely organized around several key beliefs:

Spirit is the ultimate reality
The true human self is divine
Thoughts attuned to the divine are a positive force for good
All disease has a mental origin
Right thinking has a healing effect
Positive thinking brings positive results
Negative thinking brings negative results

New Thought developed in the United States, particularly in New England, beginning in the 1830s. It has affinities to Neo-Platonism and American Transcendentalism. New Thought gave rise to many similar philosophies, including Higher Thought, Mental Science, Metaphysical Healing, and Practical Christianity.
