Rev. Jones, thank you for the comprehensive overview of metaphysics.

For the past 34 years I have been a New Thought student. I have taken time daily to remain open minded as I study and seek to understand the literal, historical, implied and metaphysical meanings of the Bible and the universal principles of life that are found in the Christian faith.

I have learned to deeply appreciate the ground breaking metaphysical understanding, writings and teachings of New Thought pioneers like Pineas Parkhurst Quimby, Dr. Ernest Holmes, Dr. Emily Cady and Myrtle and Charles Fillmore about the Christian Faith.

Their teachings have helped me to sincerely appreciate the vital importance of the sound literal and historical Christian upbringing I received from my fundamentalist parents. They did not have much of the scientific knowledge that we have today. My father was a Pentecostal minister. He had very limited exposure to metaphysical teachings. What he knew he shared with me.

Through the study of Christian metaphysical teaching I have also learned to respect, honor and truly value other religions that are different from mine.

I have learned that true worship is found in the daily practical application of the universal laws of life and genuine love for all human kind.

To me Jesus Christ was the master metaphysician. He is my Savior and Way-shower

I hope and pray that through your website the minds and hearts of many Christians and non-Christians will be open to living the spirit-filled life that Jesus taught and demonstrated.

Blessings, love and peace,
