Summary
Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from The Life Radiant by Lilian Whiting, published in 1903.
Podcast Excerpt: The great truth of life — that which we may well hold as its central and controlling and dominating truth — is that "our best moments are not departures from ourselves, but are really the only moments in which we have truly been ourselves." These moments flash upon the horizon of the soul and vanish. They appear before us as in vision, and fade; but the fact of their appearance is its own proof of their deep reality.

| 1:03.1 | The great truth of life, that which we may well hold as its central and controlling and dominating truth, is that our best moments |
| 1:13.7 | are not departures from ourselves, but are really the only moments in which we have truly |
| 1:21.2 | been ourselves. These moments flash upon the horizon of the soul and vanish. |
| 1:32.1 | They appear before us as in a vision and fade. |
| 1:38.2 | But the fact of their appearance is its own proof of their deep reality. |
| 1:48.0 | It may be given to anyone at any time to behold the vision. Circumstances are fluid and impressionable, and thus a vision may take on any form which your mind is currently capable of, which is |
| 1:56.0 | why you need never despair. At any instant you can so unite your own will with the divine will, |
| 2:03.9 | that new combinations of events and circumstances will appear in your life. As it has been said, |
| 2:12.1 | there is an elemental essence, a strange living essence, which surrounds us on every side, and which is singularly |
| 2:22.3 | susceptible to the influence of human thought. This essence responds to the faintest action |

| 2:39.5 | formulates a definite, purposeful thought or wish. |
| 2:44.0 | Nikola Tesla, in a paper discussing the problem of how to increase the sum of human energy, considers the possibility |
| 2:53.7 | of the existence of beings impossible for us to see. We cannot positively assert that some of these |
