Summary: <p>Listen to episode 144 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Quickening: Breakthrough Growth & Self-Development. Edited and adapted from New Thought Healing Made Plain by Kate Atkinson Boehme.</p><br> <p><strong>New Thought Podcast Transcript</strong>: <em>There is an all-pervasive analogy between things physical and things metaphysical, and so I can infer that there is a Quickening in the mind of Man (in the mind of Woman) for which preparation is made. For a long time the mind is vague and neutral in its action, but all the while it is growing, developing, forming for the Quickening. </em></p><br> <p><em>In other words, we are not yet fully individualized, and we must prepare to take a step upward into a higher individualization. We must make ready for the mental Quickening. All our vague and superficial thinking is really working to an end in which it shall take on orderly arrangement around a central thought and become positively organic — for what is true of the embryo is equally true of the embryotic individual, the human being. And after the Quickening comes the birth into a higher life. </em></p><br> <p><em>All along the line of Evolution things are being born again upon the next higher plane. The one-celled organism is born again as the two-celled, the three-celled, the many-celled organism, and so Life sweeps on in its upward trend. The sadness, the questioning, the dull monotony, the drawbacks, the heart sickness, are all phenomena of the embryotic life and must be lived through patiently and hopefully, if we would reach the Quickening which is close at hand. Grief, pain, and trouble are the pangs of gestation and pass away when the embryo attains its growth.</em></p><br> <p><strong>Related New Thought Podcasts:</strong></p><br> <p><a title="New Thought Podcasts" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/a-new-thought-philosophy-of-life/">A New Thought Philosophy of Life</a></p><br> <p><a title="Joy & Being Successful" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/thought-power-gratitude-joy-being-successful/">Thought Power: Being Successful</a></p>
