New Thought is a mind-healing movement that originated in the 19th-century United States. It has no one creed, but its fundamental teaching is that spirit is more real and more powerful than matter and that the mind has the power to heal the body. Major groups within the New Thought movement include the Unity Church, Church of Religious Science, and Divine Science.
Henry Harrison Brown became famous as one of the elder leaders of the New Thought movement in the early part of the 20th century. Born in Massachusetts in 1840, he served in the U. S. Volunteers during the Civil War from August, 1862, until October, 1865. He taught school; worked upon newspapers; lectured in various fields for a Unitarian minister. He entered the work of mental healing and teaching in 1893. That led to his lessons he taught in his books.
Brown published one of the most vigorous of the New Thought periodicals, Now, published in San Francisco. described in its subtitle as "a Monthly Journal of Positive Affirmations, devoted to Mental Science and the Art of Living." Its basic affirmation was, "Man is spirit here and now, with all the possibilities of Divinity within him and he can consciously manifest these possibilities here and now."
