Unveiling Your Hidden Power: Emma Curtis Hopkins' Metaphysics for the 21st Century
The author's goal has been to remain faithful to the principles and methods of Emma Curtis Hopkins, and to restate them in language that can be readily comprehended by modem readers. She has succeeded admirably in doing so. Unveiling Your Hidden Power is highly recommended for the education of ministers, practitioners, counselors, and affirmative prayer workers. It presents the healing methodology of New Thought in as clear a way as is possible with words. It provides the tools, in the form of affirmations and I AM statements, for practical demonstration of the realities to which it points. It is necessary, however, to point out what the new book is not. It is not intended as a book of historical commentary regarding the Bible, except in the sense that Mrs. Hopkins had her own views on the Bible, which in turn have become part of the history of interpretation. For example, Mrs. Hopkins interpreted various verses in Chapter 1 of the Book of Genesis as pointing to what later became the twelve principal points of her classic books, High Mysticism and Scientific Christian Mental Practice. In a subsequent edition Dr. Miller would do well to add an appendix, providing the specific details of this allegorical interpretation. Unveiling Your Hidden Power is likely to take its place along with The Science of Mind (by Ernest Holmes), Divine Science and Healing (by Malinda E. Cramer), and a few other classics in elucidating metaphysical practice and revealing some of the depths of consciousness that underlie the practice. --Dr Robert Winterhalter Emma Curtis Hopkins Theological Seminary, Past President of The Society for the Study of Metaphysical ReligionsEmma Curtis Hopkins was the teacher of teachers, the woman who taught the founders of Unity, Divine Science, Church of Truth, and Religious Science the woman who invented the term Science of Mind, back in the 1890s. She healed hundreds and taught thousands, using her own; line of reasoning; and upward vision; to empower her. With this book, both Hopkins' principles and practices are made accessible to modern audiences. Dr. Miller has translated Emma's Victorian rhetoric into clear, modern language and has identified and laid out Emma's recommendations for daily practice. This book encompasses 12 lessons which have been set forth using the primary texts by Emma Curtis Hopkins: High Mysticism, Scientific Christian Mental Practice,; (both published by DeVorss & Co.) and Resume, published by Ministry of Truth International. The period during which the basis of the teaching was derived was 1885 and 1896. Emma's first six lessons focus on establishing the individual's own health and well-being, while lessons 7-12 expand on the same principles, applying them to one's ministry, or work with others. --International New Thought Magazine Summer 2008
