Ralph Waldo Trine (1866-1958) was a pioneer of the New Thought movement, whose writings have inspired millions since they were first published over a century ago. He sought, in his own words, to give to his readers something "that will lighten the everyday struggles of our common life; something that will add a little sweetness here, a little hope there;¿.¿.¿. something that will lead each one to the knowledge of the divinity of every human soul; something that will lead each one to the conscious realization of his own divinity, with all its attendant riches, and glories, and powers."
