Throughout his long and well-documented career, Ralph Waldo Emerson kept a personal journal, begun at age sixteen and concluding when he was seventy-four. The sixteen volumes of the journals plus his enormous published work leave a fascinating and comprehensive record of his vision of a universal mind within which all matter and life participates. This lecture will present Emerson's exploration of this core principle of Idealism: its source, its nature and its availability to us as seekers after the true ground of our being.

Lecture given at the University of Philosophical Research, Dec 1, 2012
