The Pathway of Roses: Paths to the Life Beautiful

by Christian D. Larson

Originally published in 1912, this classic piece of literature by best-selling author Christian Larson unfolds the path to a spiritual life. Retaining the special flavor of early twentieth century language, The Pathway of Roses provides just the right combination of inspiration and heart-pondering sentiment to speak to the heart of almost anyone seeking the meaning of the life as it relates to the spiritual realm. The author's intent in writing this book was to have the reader come to know the spiritual nature of human existence -- those things which to be in touch with, make other things worthwhile. As the original book states, "This book has been written especially for those awakened souls ... who would open their minds to all that is rich, all that is lofty, all that is beautiful, and all that is inspiring in life.... "

this is a beautiful book which I read in the early 90's for my Science of Mind groups. I highly recommend it for those seeking spirit. One may not agree with all or any of Larson's quiet words but they are food for thought in any case.

it is food for the troubled soul.... it invites us to pause and slow the mind, to breathe and contemplate. It helped me a lot when I was in need of a peaceful inner space... Perhaps it will help me again now. I know it has helped others too. Good stuff.

On only the second chapter. So much is going on and coming to me. It is expanding my awareness of the TRUTH.

Last night I read, "To use divine will, we must first have a lofty purpose in view; we must have something high and something definite that we wish to attain; we must have something upon which to apply the limitless power of divine will, and we must desire to reach that goal with the very deepest and strongest desires of heart and soul."

That's where I had to put the book down on only page 13. What is my lofty goal--where am I pulling down te invisible divine substance and materializing something from nothing. This is what my I have been focusing on today--for what grand plan am I living this life?

One the premiere books of the New Thought Authors. If you have ever read channeled material such as Seth, Ramtha or Abraham Hicks you maybe surprised to find that everything they espoused was already written out 100 years before by these American New Thought Authors.

Great insight

I have read several of his books, and they all turn our direction to look within ourselves for the answers to life, because that is where they lie.

"When everything goes wrong with us, we blame fate, environment, or the world. We forget that the world does to us what we have done to the world. When we blame the world for everything, the world will so act that it is to blame; but when we love the entire world with our whole heart, the world will change toward us accordingly and be kind." - Christian D. Larson

You really can't go wrong with any book written by Christian D. Larson. He has a special eloquence that is unique among "new thought" writers. The Pathway of Roses is surely one to inspire you.
