The Power of Thought

Long before The Secret (Rhonda Byrne, 2006, Atria Books) made it's appearance, I spent a day revited to the pages of Magic in Your Mind (1961).  In those pages, U.S. Andersen  proposed that reality isn't hard and fast facts at all, but a many faceted gem that reveals different aspects from different points of view.  Then there was Joseph Chilton Pearce, who elaborated a similar philosophy in The Crack in the Cosmic Egg (1988).  His contribution: we are all involved in a reality construction project and changes in world views change the world viewed.  Both books are alive and well and living on Amazon-- and, from the reviews I just read, still changing lives.
Those books and others like them, widened the arc of my compass, even loosened its pointy end from religous moorings in the Catholic Church.  I'm still grounded there, though not as firmly--it's the place where if I have to go there, they have to let me in.  But Unity calls to me, as does Ernest Holmes in the Science of Mind and Helen Schucman in the work book of A Course in Miracles.
Where all this is leading is a look at the view our culture holds about aging.
