Mary and Martha (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025488462)

"Mary and Martha" is a profound metaphysical exploration by Emma Curtis Hopkins, a foundational figure in the New Thought movement. Drawing upon the well-known biblical narrative of the two sisters of Bethany, Hopkins delves into the spiritual significance of the active and contemplative lives. The work serves as a guide for balancing the practical demands of the physical world with the deep, inward pursuit of spiritual truth.

Hopkins, often regarded as the "teacher of teachers," uses the duality of Mary and Martha to illustrate the evolution of consciousness. While Martha represents the service and labor required in the material realm, Mary symbolizes the realization of the divine presence through stillness and devotion. Through her unique mystical lens, Hopkins argues that the harmonious integration of these two states is essential for true spiritual mastery and healing.

This volume provides readers with insight into the principles of divine science and the power of the word. It remains a significant text for those interested in historical Christian mysticism, the origins of the New Thought movement, and the practical application of spiritual laws in daily life. "Mary and Martha" invites seekers to transcend worldly distractions and find peace through spiritual alignment.
