I would put the new thought movement this way:
What you think can make you happy and Rich.
You don't have to suffer your whole life with Guilt that people put upon you to make money off you to run their churches worldwide. You don't need to be the slaves of people messing with your mind.
When you consider that Hell, Fire and brimstone mostly was put in by Kings and Queens and powerful people wanting to enslave their "Slaves" to work until they dropped dead in terror of them you begin to understand that the Hell, Fire and Brimestone was ALWAYS a manipulation of the masses and didn't have to do with anything at all in reality.
So, freeing yourself from this insanity so you can become One with the Divine mind and everything Divine in all ways allows a person to become successful in all ways inside and outside and to change the world and everyone's lives for the better by thinking this way.
When you realize that monarchs around the world Diefied themselves as Gods or Divinely sent so they could get away with literally anything and killing anyone or doing anything to anyone because supposedly these Royalty? were divine. When in reality they were all mostly really evil people enslaving the masses minds and bodies on penalty of death.
