During this time he became influenced by the idealistic philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson. [2] Trine was also influenced by George Herron's Christian socialism. [4] Trine's spiritual views have been described as being a mixture of Buddhism, pantheism, spiritualism, transcendentalism, Christian socialism, and neo-Vedanta philosophy. [5]
