The Life Radiant
The Life Radiant, published in 1903, is a book of spiritual reflections by Lilian Whiting, a Boston journalist and author best known for The World Beautiful. Close to the New Thought movement of her time, Whiting argues that ordinary daily life can be lifted to a spiritual plane through faith, love and right thinking, and that science was revealing finer forces in the universe that confirm the reality of an ethereal world. Its chapters, with titles such as "The Golden Age Lies Onward," "Eliminating Anxieties" and "The Law of Prayer," mix meditation with anecdotes, including a summer journey in Arizona and a tragic story from Colorado. The tone is earnest, optimistic and consoling. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
