The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson - by R.W. Emerson Institute, Jim Manley, Director - RWE.org

Welcome back, new & known, to RWE.org

May 25th, 2023, is the 220th year anniversary
celebrating the birth of Ralph Waldo Emerson

*** Happy Birthday, Waldo! ***

We are here to Introduce or Re-Introduce you to the Life and Works of
Ralph Waldo Emerson America’s Sage, Philosopher, Poet, and Author. 

We are rebuilding the RWE.org like it was in 2003, if anyone remembers, 
send me an email to: jim@rwe.org. Your memories and guidance are precious to me.

I’m going over every word, every ‘Visitations of Truth,’ wiping away 15 years of dust.
RWE.org will start to include the ‘Safe-Use’ of a few “A.I.” tools to dive deeper into Waldo’s words. Much
like Mr. Emerson created more than 200 ‘index books’ to keep track and write his indelible Works.

For members, you will have complete access to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Journals, Sermons, Poems, and influences
(ex. All of Plato’s work, Bhaagavat Gita, and the feature-length documentary, “Emerson: The Ideal In America.”) 

In Loving appreciation,
Jim Manley, Managing Director
Ralph Waldo Emerson Institute
