Spiritual Trine, Ralph Waldo: In Tune with the Infinite. V1. 19-Mar-2011

Ralph Waldo Trine (1866-1958) was a philosopher, mystic, teacher and author, and was 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. He was a true pioneer in the area of life-transforming thought. No other New Thought author has sold more books than he, his writings reaching far beyond New Thought circles out to the general public, which has bought and read Trine's books without ever knowing that they were New Thought.

Ralph Waldo Trine's seminal book, "In Tune with the Infinite" was launched in 1897 and went on to sell over 2 million copies. It was read by such luminaries as Queen Victoria, Janet Gaynor and Henry Ford. It is interesting that Henry Ford, pioneer of mass produced automobiles, attributed his success directly to having read "In Tune with the Infinite." After reading the book, Ford ordered it on mass, and distributed copies freely to high profile industrialists. It's a true mark of how powerful the book was and still is!
