by Emmet Fox (Author)
A concise statement of Emmet Fox's teaching on the relation between thought and experience, presenting the concept of the "mental equivalent" as the basis of demonstration.
In this work, Emmet Fox sets out the principle that outward conditions correspond to inward states of mind, and that deliberate attention to thought can shape experience. The "mental equivalent" is described as the clear and sustained acceptance of a desired condition in consciousness, aligning intention with expectation. Fox's treatment is practical rather than speculative, focusing on the disciplined use of thought and the removal of contradiction within the individual's outlook.
Written within the New Thought tradition of the early twentieth century, the text reflects a broader movement concerned with the application of spiritual principles to everyday life. Fox's style is direct and accessible, presenting ideas in a structured form intended for repeated consideration. The work remains a representative example of applied metaphysical teaching, emphasising consistency, clarity, and inward alignment as the conditions for change.
