The defect in all this "New Thought" type of teaching is the arrogance and absurdity, the unpracticality and unreality incorporated along with its undeniable wisdom and usefulness. Its advocates, insofar as they defend and propagate this defect, are self-hypnotized and thus self-deluded, or have little experience of practical human affairs, or are carried away by intemperate enthusiasm into unbalance.
