From Pat Deveney's database:
Inspiration. This continues Religion but there appears to have been a hiatus between the two journals. Devoe added to the standard New Thought generalities ("Open your hearts to the inspiration of the Almighty, and you will outgrow the spiritual causes for bondage, oppression, and poverty. You will become aware that all the intelligence in the universe is working for your benefit, and energizing all your efforts to gain your rightful dominion as the sons and daughters of the Eternal Being." Etc.), the invoking of the guidance and aid of the "Immortals" (angels) by concentration and appropriate aspirations, which were provided for a fee. He tucked into issues of the journal a sample "concentration card" with an appropriate aspiration for the month: "I Am Blessed with Life Eternal," "I Am Healed By Love Divine." On DeVoe see the note under Religion. Noted in The Occult Digest,

| Inspiration April 1930 | |
|
Inspiration was the magazine of Walter DeVoe's 'Ministry of Inspiration' in Brookline, Massachusetts, seen here in an April 1930 issue. It is New Thought in its purest form: pages of affirmations, prosperity, and subconscious-mind teaching, cast in a devotional key that addresses God directly ('I will attune my mind to Thy mighty mood') and invites the reader to 'design your destiny according to the wisdom of His will.' DeVoe's mental-science lineage gives it a healing and self-improvement bent, and a humanitarian conscience surfaces in appeals like 'Twenty Millions Starving.' It reads as a compact, earnest organ of the New Thought success-and-affirmation tradition. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
