William Walker Atkinson

The Aura is the invisible emanation radiating from every individual. An ethereal radiation. The egg-shaped human nebula. Psychic atmosphere sensed by everyone but seen by but few. The clairvoyant vision. The phosphorescent flame, and luminous cloud. The colors in the aura and what they mean. Effect of mental states, emotion, and passion, upon its aura. The human aura is a very important and interesting phase of every personality. The finer forces, the most powerful. William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 - November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement.

There is in every human being a sense which is not generally recognized as such, although nearly every person has had more or less experience regarding its workings. I refer to the sense of the presence of other living things, separate and apart from the operation of any of the five ordinary physical senses. I ask you to understand that I am not claiming that this is a higher sense than the other physical senses, or that it has come to man in a high state of evolution...

Memory: How to Develop, Train and Use It is a time-tested, comprehensive study of the concepts and principles of memory improvement, written by New Thought and self-improvement pioneer William Walker Atkinson. Presented in a straightforward manner in plain language, the text guides the reader through a study of the general concepts of memory improvement and the application of these doctrines. The systematic, straightforward style of Atkinson's work makes the often abstract concepts accessible to all readers, as he explores topics like the subconscious retention of information, various systems for memorization, and the key roles of attention and association in the memory process. Atkinson's work teaches specific methodologies for training the eyes and ears for memory improvement, and offers specific approaches to improving your memory for names, faces, places, numbers, events, music, specific facts, stories, words and sentences, and more. For over one hundred years western students have been aided in their study of self-improvement principles, New Thought philosophy and eastern teachings by the writing of William Walker Atkinson, also known by his pseudonym, "Yogi Ramacharaka." William Walker Atkinson (1862-1932) was an incredibly prolific American writer who published extensively in areas of yoga, the occult, eastern mysticism, personal development, and related subjects. A successful businessman and attorney, Atkinson suffered what may have been a nervous breakdown in the late 1880's and, in the course of his recovery, became immersed in the "new thought" movement, eastern mysticism, and yoga. Atkinson was a popular self-improvement and personal development writer, a leading voice in the New Thought movement and a serious and devoted student of Hindu philosophy and yoga, and was a major force in introducing these concepts to the United States. His writings are still widely read and well-respected, and his "Yoga Philosophy and Oriental Occultism" is considered an excellent basic text for the western layman.

A clear technical approach to looking into the past or futurePractical Psychomancy & Crystal Gazing by New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson deals technically with a clairvoyance technique using the crystal ball, once a popular instrument of Gypsy fortune tellers. Atkinson explains the technique within the framework of psychomancy, in which the crystal ball (just like the black mirror) functions as the "TV screen" of an astral tube. An astral tube is in essence a thought form or servitor that serves as an intermediary between the earthly and the astral world. Within the framework of the psychomancy-training the book offers several lessons and, in addition to crystal gazing, also focuses on astral projection, space psychomancy, past time psychomancy, future psychomancy, the aura and a lesson in self development. William Walker Atkinson started to embrace New Thought after he suffered a mental, physical and financial breakdown as a lawyer. He successfully healed and rebooted himself by means of some mental, psychological and esoteric insights the movement had offered him and became one of its most productive and inspiring witers. Post Scriptum with biography of the author included.

"Thought Vibration" is a classic treatise of new age philosophy by noted American occultist, author, and pioneer of the New Thought movement William Walker Atkinson. In this influential and widely-read work, Atkinson examines the nature of mental thought and its power to affect one's life. A central tenet of the New Thought movement is the importance of thoughts in creating real change in person's physical, emotional, and financial life. Negative thoughts will attract negative events and negative people and positive thoughts will bring about positive outcomes. First published in 1906, Atkinson's work remains a timeless and thought-provoking discourse full of tangible examples that demonstrate the power that positive mental thought can have in changing the direction of one's life. Full of practical advice and helpful exercises to assist the reader into putting these theories into action, readers will be inspired to apply the power of positive thinking in their daily lives. "Thought Vibration" remains as relevant and encouraging as when it was first published over a century ago. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
