We are all dwellers in two kingdoms, the inner kingdom, the kingdom of the mindand spirit, and the outer kingdom, that of the body and the physical universeabout us. To strike the right balance in life is one of the supreme essentials of allsuccessful living. We must work, for we must have bread. There are moments inthe lives of all of us when we catch glimpses of a life - our life - that is infinitelybeyond the life we are now living. We realize that we are living below ourpossibilities. 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 aremaking but inadequate use of, and others that we are scarcely using at all.Practical metaphysics, a more simplified and concrete psychology, well-knownlaws 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 andspirit - are never to be found among those who ask: Is life worth the living? Forthem life has been multiplied two, ten, a hundred-fold.Ralph Waldo Trine (1866-1958), was a philosopher, mystic, teacher, author ofmany books, and one of the early mentors of the New Thought Movement. Hiswritings had a great influence on many of his contemporaries including ErnestHolmes —founder of Religious Science—; and he was a true pioneer of life-transforming thought.
