"The Way Of The Practical Mystic" is an astonishing rediscovery: a full-scale spiritual course in twenty-six lessons by one of the great figures in New Thought from the last century. Timeless in application, as relevant today as ever; it is the most complete guide to the art of living itself. Henry Thomas Hamblin was the populariser of 'applied right thought'. He teaches that we control our lives by our own thoughts, and we have responsibility to use that remarkable power for the good of all. Each of us can develop subtler, intuitive abilities and become more sensitive to the profound richness of life. The way to bring about the lasting creation of good is completely in accord with both the Christian way and the principles of New Age thought. The use of affirmations in realising abundance and harmony is described here with clarity. There is a new look at prayer, in the book, and Hamblin describes a threefold path towards successful self-realization. "The Way Of The Practical Mystic" is suitable for the religiously-minded of all persuasions, and is particularly helpful for those who wish to look in and beyond the Christian tradition. The words of Saint Matthew, 'Therefore if thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light', sum up the philosophy.

Henry Thomas Hamblin's The Power of Thought stands between that of James Allen's As a Man Thinketh, and A Course in Miracles. It appeals to those seeking to improve their lives, whether by the practical application of thought or through following a more spiritual path. "By thought man either blesses or curses himself. By it he brings into his life either success or failure, health or disease, happiness or unhappiness, poverty or prosperity. It is all in his mind and the character of his thought. Whatever there is in your life or mine, of disharmony, lack, sickness or unhappiness, is the result of our disharmonious thought. We live in an orderly Universe, but we do not react harmoniously to our environment, we are not in correspondence with the hidden law and order around us. It is not necessary for the universe to be altered; what is needed is that we ourselves should be changed. Within ourselves is the cause of the disorder in our own individual world-for we each live in a little world of our own creation- therefore, the disorder and trouble lhal afflicts us, or the lack that restricts our life, can never be overcome, save by a change of mind, habit of thought, and mental attitude." Henry Thomas Hamblin was an English mystic and New Thought author. He believed that "abounding health, sufficiency of supply, achievement, accomplishment and joy indescribable are the normal state for man.," and that, to achieve this state, man needed to come into "harmony with Cosmic Law."

Receive affirmations and solid direction for finding happiness and joy in your life. Hamblin teaches us how to find our inner core and strength and how it is directly linked to the Divine presence of life that flows through all. The essence of Hamblin's mystical experience and philosophy was of the omnipresence, omnipotence and all-goodness of God ("The Kingdom or realm of God is with us now and always"). He believed that "abounding health, sufficiency of supply, achievement, accomplishment and joy indescribable are the normal state for man.," and that, to achieve this state, man needed to come into "harmony with Cosmic Law." Over time the emphasis of Hamblin's written work changed from showing people how to change their lives through right thought and faith, to teaching them how to find a living consciousness of God for himself alone.
