Tapped into his belief
Hi
Emmet Fox (1886-1951) was one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the twentieth century and a pioneer of the New Thought movement. His bold, dynamic message proclaiming that our thoughts shape our reality has changed the lives of millions across the world and influenced many key contemporary spiritual writers such as Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks, and Louise Hay, all of whom have tapped into his belief in the power of positive thinking.
--- Does it mean they "accepted" his belief?

Hi The metaphor here is having a barrel, making a small hole in it, and then tapping into that hole something that will act as a tap. Like a barrel of beer. So far as I know, this is why the two words are related: to tap something (say, hit it with a hammer); and sink-tap (the thing on the edge of a sink) So it means that Emmet Fox's ideas were like a barrelful of liquid, and Dyer and Hicks and others found ways of using his ideas for their own purposes I suppose it goes without saying that they accepted his ideas, but it means more than that Dave
