the new thought movement is a rosicrucian movement right ? ... and yes i am interested in this, although ive heard alot about the rosicrucians being involved with the NWO agenda, i'll have to look more into that though.

Rosicrucian is a kind of gnostic belief system too, but it is quite different to "New Thought", as far as I know. New Thought has nothing to do with the NWO - it is not political at all.
Here's on of the "classic" books of New Thought...
As A Man Thinketh by James Allen

Hey Mystikiwi
How is it basically Gnostic? Do you see them related to the Sethians or Valentinians in some way?

PMCV[/QUOTE]I'm not so sure now...
If I make more threads on "New Thought" they will be in "Creative Spirituality".
(This thread got very few replies in this (Gnostic) forum anyway.)

yes newthought is rosicrucian, i dont know how they tie in with gnostic thought. but im willing to bank that the reason they get confused with being somewhat gnostic is that they accept the canonical bible but claim its the deeper esoteric meanings within it that are important.
