Ralph Waldo Emerson is best known for founding the Transcendentalist movement in the 1800s after his break with traditional Christianity. It was the beginning of a new movement that would change the spirit of the mid-to-late 19th century religious movement in America. We'll look at Ernest Holmes, Thomas Troward, Helena P. Blavatsky, and the founding of the Science of Mind, The Theosophical Society, and how the Eastern philosophies of Buddhism influenced this movement today.
