The multitude of readers who have found help in the writings of Ralph Waldo Trine will welcome this volume. It is a strong plea for a vital and practical religion, „a religion of the spirit that relates itself intimately to the affairs of everyday life,“ and that is devoid of the formalism and the materialism which too often are found bearing the name of religion.
Such a religion the author nds revealed in the life and teachings of Jesus, whose statement of the two great commandments, love to God and I love to man, he characterizes as the greatest saying in the world's history. The appropriation of this truth and its corollary, our essential oneness with the Universal Divine Life, will revolutionize and reconstruct human society, as the individual members of it are brought under the power of God in the soul, „speaking directly.“
This is the extended annotated edition including a rare essay by Mr. Trine, „The Divinity Of Human Nature“.
