The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit

We are all dwellers in two kingdoms, the inner kingdom, the kingdom of the mind

and spirit, and the outer kingdom, that of the body and the physical universe

about us. To strike the right balance in life is one of the supreme essentials of all

successful living. We must work, for we must have bread. There are moments in

the lives of all of us when we catch glimpses of a life - our life - that is infinitely

beyond the life we are now living. We realize that we are living below our

possibilities. We long for the realization of the life that we feel should be.

Instinctively we perceive that there are within us powers and forces that we are

making but inadequate use of, and others that we are scarcely using at all.

Practical metaphysics, a more simplified and concrete psychology, well-known

laws of mental and spiritual science, confirm us in this conclusion.

The men and the women who are awake to these inner helps - these directing,

molding, and sustaining powers and forces that belong to the realm of mind and

spirit - are never to be found among those who ask: Is life worth the living? For

them life has been multiplied two, ten, a hundred-fold.

Ralph Waldo Trine (1866-1958), was a philosopher, mystic, teacher, author of

many books, and one of the early mentors of the New Thought Movement. His

writings had a great influence on many of his contemporaries including Ernest

Holmes —founder of Religious Science—; and he was a true pioneer of life-

transforming thought.
