THE SYMPHONY OF LIFE

Description

The Symphony of Life: A Series of Constructive Sketches and Interpretations was published in 1902 by Henry Wood, one of the early figures in the New Thought movement. The book is a collection of stimulating ideas about the development of the human race as well as the individual man and his relationship with the Divine. The text is replete with allusions to historical events, philosophical ideas, and Biblical truth. Wood’s words give the sincere learner a deeper grasp of man’s supremacy and guarantee the reader a lovely glimpse of the magnificence of the Creator of Life. They are elegantly written in early 20th-century language. Although this book’s overall goal is unifying, in a broad sense, its many research and interpretations are very dissimilar. They discuss all facets of life, and their relationship is largely hidden. Therefore, it doesn’t matter what order they are given attention in. A couple of them have been published in various periodicals after extensive rewriting. The author’s overarching theme is constructive rather than iconoclastic. The shades of error are to be banished by the illuminating light of Truth. The true reason of a general restlessness is a deep spiritual hunger among mankind, the nature of which is frequently difficult to ascertain.This hunger is unquenchable on a plane, which is where searches are typically conducted. No physical, intellectual, or ethical redundancy can make up for such a severe incompleteness; the higher nature must be fed properly. There is a widespread, if largely blind, search for the typical divine counterpart, which is the only one who can complete the essential elements of the human constitution. Such demand is a reliable indicator of supply.
