You’re sure to recognize many of these truths as eternal—adages you may already have adopted into your life.
As Anna Donovan and Ellen Ratner were researching the topic of mental healing almost a quarter-century ago, they began to notice how rich and meaningful the Spiritualist quotes were to our current times—as relevant today as they were when written; most of them well over 125 years ago.
Working individually, the authors gradually fell under the spell of the enlightened voices behind these messages, finding them to be a guiding force in the desire to turn difficulties and frustrations into positive efforts.
Knowing with absolute certainty the power in these beneficial and healing words, their enthusiasm piqued. In a simultaneous moment of inspiration, they turned to each other and expressed their desire to share these quotes with others. In this moment, 19th Century Quotes for 21st Century Living was conceived.
The American social climate today is similar to that of the mid-19th century. Political, social, spiritual, and emotional unrest has created a great need in many people to seek beyond traditional experiences for a fulfilling life in place of turmoil. At first glance, these often-labeled “new moments” appear to be provocative teachings and philosophies. A closer examination reveals them to be in line with early Spiritualist philosophy.
Some of these quotes and messages are in direct opposition to each other—but then, so much is in life…
Anna Donovan is a professional researcher in many different fields, including history and addictions.
Ellen Ratner is an ordained Spiritualist minister at Church of the Living Spirit in Lily Dale, New York. She is also a media correspondent for Talk Media News, covering the White House and the United Nations.
