Description

Discover the radical origins of New Thought that prosperity preachers don’t want you to know. Long before “manifestation” became a buzzword, New Thought leaders like Charles Fillmore, Wallace Wattles, and early Christian mystics taught a metaphysical vision rooted in justice, community, and collective flourishing—not individual wealth.In this first video of a two-part series, we uncover the lost history of New Thought Liberation Theology, exploring:🔥 How Jesus and the early Church practiced spiritual socialism (Book of Acts)🔥 Church Fathers like Basil and Chrysostom demanding wealth redistribution🔥 How Swedenborg, Fourier, and Emerson united mysticism with social transformation🔥 Brook Farm, the Shakers, and other communal experiments inspired by metaphysics🔥 Annie Rix Militz and Spiritual Housekeeping—the sacred power of everyday labor🔥 Tolstoy’s Kingdom of God Within as a blueprint for nonviolent revolution🔥 Rare archival footage of Father Divine and readings from Wallace WattlesWe also expose how New Thought was later distorted by capitalism, leading to what I call “Mammonite Metaphysics”—the prosperity gospel that sanctifies greed and empire.This series recovers the forgotten prophetic tradition that unites metaphysical spirituality with liberation, justice, and the building of a new world.👉 PART 2 will explore: Father Divine, New Thought women, MLK’s metaphysical vision, liberation theology, and how these ideas are returning today.#NewThought #LiberationTheology #SpiritualSocialism #WallaceWattles #FatherDivine #MetaphysicalChristianity #ProsperityGospel #ChristianSocialism #Transcendentalism #SpiritualHistory
