Walter Russell

This New Age is marking the dawn of a new world-thought. That new thought is a new cosmic concept of the value of man to man.

Walter Russell

I believe that there is but One Thinker in the universe; that my thinking is His thinking, and that every man's thinking is an extension, through God, of every other man's thinking.

Each man is thus empowered to uplift all men as each drop of water uplifts the entire ocean.
