This book by Ralph Waldo Trine stands out in the huge body of New Thought literature. Most interesting in this book is the way he stresses how important service and compassion are; not only to humanity, but to also animals, in fact, all sentient or conscious beings. This, of course, echoes Buddhist sentiments. It also addresses one objection which often comes up in discussions of New Thought: if we create the universe with our own minds, why should we care about others?
