Grail, The. This contained Scott's lengthy, saccharin ramblings on life, God and reality, as well as samples of his rather literary and stylized poetry ("Be Puck with me and let us girdle the earth. Be Apollo, and let us shine into the sun"). The advertisement for the journal in Nautilus states simply: "Who will follow this quiet way of The Grail may learn how divine he is, how beautiful the lives of man, How unsurpassingly glorious the Creative Joy at work in the souls of the race."

The Grail was a New York New Thought magazine written in a devotional, poetic key, given more to love-mysticism and the monistic sense of 'One Life' than to the technical mind-cure of its harder-nosed contemporaries. Its pages fold the movement's stock vocabulary of affirmation and demonstration into rhapsodic prose about the unity of all being, the 'diviner sun,' and the sanctity of the individual soul within the whole. Breath appears as a spiritualized practice bridging health and inner cultivation, and scattered talk of 'magic' and 'brotherhood' lends a mystical coloring without settling into any occult system. In tradition it sits squarely inside inspirational New Thought, adjacent to the mental-science current but softer and more lyrical than most.
