Bøker av William Walker Atkinson

The original guide to manifesting! The full original text, revised for the 21st century!In this timeless classic, William Walker Atkinson introduces the paradigm shifting concept of The Law of Attraction. This "one great law" governs the universe and the world we experience. It simply states that whatever the focus of our thoughts and expectations-whatever we desire or fear-is exactly what we receive. In The Law of Attraction Atkinson shows readers how to harness this radical power to create a life of abundance and happiness. The simple choice to replace a negative thought with a positive one is a small thing, but it can be the beginning of a new life, new freedom, and new abundance. Long before others were writing on the subject, Atkinson was the first to develop a complete understanding of the Law of Attraction. First published under the title Thought Vibration, this new edition of the book has been fully revised and updated for modern readers. Rediscover Atkinson's pioneering insights in The Law of Attraction and transform your life!

The twelve lessons forming this volume were originally issued in the shape of monthly lessons, known as "The Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism" during a period of twelve months beginning with October 1904, and ending September 1905.We have been told, so often, that we must take certain things "on faith," and that it was "no use bothering our minds concerning them," but this is only a partial statement of truth, for the Intellect does give us a reliable report concerning the real nature of things..." New Thought proponents at the turn of the twentieth century sought to use mysticism to unleash the forces of the universe in themselves. One of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy promises here, in this 1904 book, to show the reader "to see with the clear vision of the Spirit" and how to "achieve the peace of the awakened and conscious soul." As the yogi reminds us, "No occult teaching is ever wasted-all bears fruit in its own good time." With this significant document of the New Thought movement back in print, now may be the time.

Mind And SpiritAmerican writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932)-aka Yogi Ramacharaka-was born in Baltimore and had built up a successful law practice in Pennsylvania before professional burnout led him to the religious New Thought movement. He served as editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and as editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books-including The Philosophies and Religions of India, Arcane Formula or Mental Alchemy and Vril, or Vital Magnetism-under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today.

This book is really tremendous. It is a small book, but packed full of knowledge and exercises. It describes the physiology of breathing as well as a basis of the Yogi knowledge of prana and its relation to breathing. There are many physical breathing exercises as well as 'psychic' exercises for mental and spiritual development.It is so easy to overlook the importance of breathing and I have benefited greatly so far from this book. Just like Atkinson's Hatha Yoga, it is not meant to be read once and set aside, but more of a textbook in order to help one master breathing for optimal health and wellness. Highly recommended.

Comprehensive overview of the basics of psychology--with some practical tips for self improvement. The content is overall a little dated. For example, the advice on cultivating good habits seems amusingly uninformed given the vast body of work that's been done on how to form and maintain good habits since Atkinson wrote his manual. But the breadth still makes this title a good starter for folks wanting to better understand how their minds work and perhaps gain a foundation that will help ground newer research in everything from management psychology to behavioral economics.

I am always the type of person who asks why about everything. Especially when it is something that has never made sense to me. I feel like after reading this book that it answered questions in a thought provoking way. Written over 100 years ago, it is one that even today will provide possible answers for an inquisitive mind.

Excellent information! I will admit, in the first one or two sections of the book, I wondered if the author was trying to disprove or support the practice of mediumship. It became clear, later, that the author believes and supports the practice, and later gives very detailed descriptions, information, practical advice and methods on the various forms of mediumship, including - but not limited to - clairvoyance, psychometry, and "automatic writing". The reading can be a bit "dry", as it is written in a textbook, "lessons" kind of manner, and in a style of grammar typically seen in book from the late 1800s/early 1900s. I would consider this essential reading for those interested in subjects pertaining to psychic abilities, especially those wishing to learn how to train oneself to bring about their latent abilities, or strengthen known abilities.
