 A Practical Spirituality: Process New Thought
Process New Thought does not simply let distinctions between God and ourselves slip in unavoidably; Process New Thought straightforwardly proclaims a pluralistic (many units of reality, all intimately related, mingling) rather than quantitatively monistic (only one unit of reality) idealism (all, we agree, is mind-spirit-experience).

In sum, the practical spirituality known as Process New Thought is in the tradition of the more than century-old healing and overall wholeness movement known as New Thought, updated and enriched by insights from process philosophy, producing a remarkable synthesis that is likely to become a major force in the 21st century.
