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.
