The World's Balance Wheel was written around the time of the Russian Revolution and addresses the big issues of the day: anarchy, Bolshevism, and the relationship between capital and labor. Yet combined with passages on terrorism, immigration, and education, this slim volume is both of its time and relevant still. In these pages Trine-one of the most influential thinkers in the early New Age philosopher of "New Thought"-sees salvation from a world of strife only in the Golden Rule. As he puts it, "A man who is not right with his fellow-men is not right and cannot be right with God." The World's Balance Wheel was originally meant to be an additional chapter to later editions of Trine's The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit but was published separately and stands easily on its own.American mystic and bestselling author RALPH WALDO TRINE (1866-1958) wrote more than a dozen books, including The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit (1917), In the Hollow of His Hand (1915), In Tune with the Infinite (1897), and The Greatest Thing Ever Known (1898).
