Ralph Waldo Emerson


 * "Nature"
 * Father of the transcendentalist movement
 * Believed in Heaven and Earth, and Heaven onEarth
 * Was Unitarian preacher for three years before crisis of faith caused him to leave the church
 * Transcendentalism - Nature and humankind are divine because they are create by the Divine, God
 * Humanity has been corrupted
 * Truth transcends what people can observe with their senses
 * The Divine Soul/ Universal Spirit/ Oversoul/ God - all interchangeable
 * Trust intuition for we are given intuition by God upon creation
 * In order to reform society, we have to reform ourselves
