Emerson. Thoreau. Whitman. The holy trinity of the American philosophy and spirituality. Emerson was the prophet, the way-maker, the teacher. Thoreau was the monk, the ascetic, the hermit-saint who put the ideas into practice. Whitman was the poet who gave them voice and rang the skies with it. Sad that so few Americans know of the spiritual heritage that waits right under their nos, though it waits at the back of their minds.

Insist on yourself; never imitate others. Great Maxim.

Emerson and Thoreau both read the Bhagavad Gita--Thoreau said that it made all other literature puny and mundane, not an exact quote but right along those lines. I encourage you all to read it as well!

beautiful music to my ears. give me more.
Beautiful video. The quote should be "To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men—that is genius." So many of us today prescribe to our "own" truths instead of believing them to be universal. Great work!

I believe Emerson means that we should trust in our own divine soul, for that is what we truly are ... divine spirits of immense beauty, knowledge and light.
