Waldo Trine - My Mo Anam cara"
"There is a golden thread that runs through every
religion in the world. There
is a golden thread that runs through the lives and teachings to all
the prophets, seers, sages and saviours......"
This storyteller loves the invitations that
are the writings of Ralph Waldo Trine. Even the titles of his books
read like poetry. There
is the wonderful invitation from the title “In Tune with the
Infinite” or “The Master Key to this Mystical Life of Ours.”
Trine’s work helped to shape the current
crop of self-help books like “The Secret,” “The Law of
Attraction” or “The Power of Positive Thinking.”
I have the omnibus edition of this soul
friend’s writings. It is well read and well loved. This omnibus
edition begins
"There is a golden thread that runs
through every religion in the world.
There is a golden thread that runs through the lives and
teachings to all the prophets, seers, sages and saviours in the
world’s history, through the lives of all great men (and women) of
truly great and lasting power.
All they have ever done or attained to has been done in full
accordance with law."
What one has done, all may do. This same golden thread must enter into the lives of all who
today in this busy work-a-day world of ours would exchange impotence
for power, weakness and suffering for abounding health and strength,
pain and unrest for perfect peace, poverty of whatever nature for
fullness and plenty."
This golden thread is the same thread that we
need to enter the labyrinth – the symbol of the journey to the
centre, of being in tune with our infinite self. The golden thread,
like the story of the golden Buddha, is hidden.
Most of us have become disillusioned with and disempowered by
traditional religious teachings.
Still, the golden thread is there. The golden
thread is always there otherwise existence simply could not be. The
finite world of time and space and form could not be. As our
contemporary seer, Eckhart Tolle tells us in “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment ” the invisible world is the primary world.
This is the understanding at the heart of the Celtic
imagination. This does
not mean that the Celts knew ‘about’ the invisible world. It
meant that through imagination and symbolic connection they had the
direct knowing of this primary attunement with the invisible embrace
of the infinite.
Ralph Waldo Trine is a soul friend
extraordinaire. He is a
real invitation to attunement with the infinite.
His writings are the Master Key to this Mystical Life of
ours. Like another
great soul friend he tells you (as all true soul friends do) that
what one has done you can do.
The only real question is – are you
prepared to find the golden thread within your own life?
Religion will tell you that this thread exists but it tends
to bind you in a particular way.
This golden thread, if you trust it (and it really is the
only way to follow it) will lead you on the hero’s journey.
The golden thread takes you into the journey
into the dark wood where <insert quote> to quote Dante. It takes you into a labyrinth of the mind, your mind, where
the true way has been lost. The
true way is not a creed. It
is the invitation from creation for you to express the tune it
created you to play.
Without being in tune with the Infinite you
can live your life and the song inside you will have been left
unsung. You will be
left wondering, like the singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen who writes
My time is running out
And still I have not
Sung the true song
The great song
When your heart longs to belong to the life
of love, which is the real life, then you will not be worried about
singing the great song -the song only you can sing ins celebration
of who you are and who you know yourself to be.
The wisdom of Ralph Waldo Trine is wisdom
indeed. It is the secret of all success. It is to come into the
possession of unknown riches, into the realisation of undreamed of
powers.
Become attuned to the great song, the song
that sings through you. A halleluiah song.

At
the beginning of this book the Irish mystic George Russell (AE)
wrote:
"I
d o not think the East has spoken with so beautiful a voice since the
Gitanjali of Rabindranath Tagore as in The Prophet of Kahlil Gibran,
who is artist as well as poet. I have not seen for years a
book more beautiful in its thought, and when reading it I understand
better than ever before what Socrates meant in the Banquet when he
spoke of the beauty of thought which exercises a deeper
enchantment than the beauty of form..... I could quote from every
page, and from every page I could find some beautiful and liberating
thought."
