Julia Seton Sears
(1862-1950)
Influential New Thought
Lecturer and Writer
|
|
Dr. Julia Seton (Sears), the
founder of the Church and School of the New Civilization, was an
important figure in the development of the New Thought movement
from the esoteric- metaphysical point of view, and exercised a
considerable influence over Fenwicke and Ernest Holmes, founder of the
Religious Science movement. She brought the Ancient Wisdom
into practical use in the new age. The philosophy and secret doctrines
of
Egypt, India and Greece were as well known to her as though she had
been an
initiate in the ancient temples and schools of philosophy like those of
Zoroaster, Osiris, Orpheus, Pythagoras and Plato.
Julia Seton was born in 1862 in Decatur, Illinois. She trained to be
a medical doctor in Boston, and returned to Colorado to practice
medicine. (She had visited Colorado as a sickly child and was healed of
tuberculosis.) She was a dynamic attraction at the San Francisco World
Fair. She set up several New Civilization Centers all over the world.
For twelve years between 1902 and 1914 she was married to Franklin
Warren Sears whom she instructed in New Thought philosophy. He later
branched out as a New Thought teacher and writer in his own right after
which the couple divorced and went their separate ways. In 1937 she
started the New Civilization Center in Ocala, Florida.
Seton was actively creating a New
Civilization City Foundation, a non-profit association for all
humanity.
Dr. Seton twice
lectured her way around the world, speaking in America, England,
Australia, New
Zealand and other English-speaking countries or communities.
Everywhere, the
masses followed her. She rented the Strand Theater in Los Angeles and
filled it
to capacity night after night. She was instrumental in bringing
Fenwicke Holmes to the New Thought Alliance in Boston, where he gave a
speech, and through her influence he found himself a special lecturer
at
the League for the Larger
Life, an organization of New York and Brooklyn leaders and writers.
Julia Seton liked to write poetry and she encouraged Fenwicke in this
area also.
Julia Seton wrote a number of book including Freedom Talks
(1906); The Science of Success (1914); Destiny, a New Thought Novel
(1917); Fundamental Principles of the New Civilization (1914), The Key
to Health, Wealth and Love (1917); Songs
for the New Day (1953). Seton died in Ocala, Florida on April 25, 1950.
