- Henry Ford: "I adopted the theory of reincarnation when I was 26. I got the idea from a book by Orlando Smith. Until I discovered this theory I was unsettled and dissatisfied—without a compass, so to speak." source ↗
Summary
Orlando Jay Smith's 1902 philosophical work subtitled 'A Theory of Infinite Justice,' arguing for a universe governed by moral law in which every action receives its just consequence across an infinite timeline. Smith's idea that the universe itself enforces justice — that there is no escape from consequences, merely deferral — influenced Henry Ford's worldview and his conviction that industry served a moral purpose.
