The Life Radiant

Lilian Whiting was an American journalist, editor, and devotional writer whose books on the inward life were widely read in the New Thought and Theosophical circles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. *The Life Radiant* (1903) is one of her best-known volumes.

The book is composed of five long meditations on what Whiting calls 'the radiant life' — the life lived in conscious awareness of an unseen larger order, in active expectation of the golden age that lies forward rather than backward, and in attention to the daily and hourly possibilities of the higher consciousness. The five chapters are *The Golden Age Lies Onward*, *Discerning the Future*, *The Ethereal Realm*, *The Power of the Exalted Moment*, and *The Nectar of the Hour*.

This edition reproduces the standard 1903 first-edition text in full. A short editor's preface places the book in its biographical context.
