Received by F.A.B.
I am here, Ralph Waldo Emerson.
As I wrote through Mr. Padgett, so I write through you - all love
is divine, since love comes from God.
I am heartened that you are enjoying reading my essays.
You are trying to find your place in American thought as a
mystical poet, and you feel a kinship with me because of
my own mystical sense. I note that you are not turned off
to me just because I don't believe as you do. But in one
sense you do, for you also believe in a mystical oneness
with life, which was the core of my philosophy.
I feel friendly toward you and wish to bless you and help
you in your life journey. I wish to repeat that no harm
will come to you, for there are so many powerful spirits
constantly by your side.
As Humanity progresses, the accumulated wisdom of the past
will play an increasingly important role in the
contemporary world. This is already happening.
So, my young friend, keep up your hopes, and have faith in
your dreams, for they will come true.
Your friend, Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803–April 27, 1882) was an American author, poet, and philosopher.
Emerson was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to the Rev. William Emerson, a Unitarian minister in a famous line
of ministers. He gradually drifted from the doctrines of his peers, then formulated and first expressed the
philosophy of Transcendentalism in his essay Nature. (Source : Wikipedia)
