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.

The New Thought movement of the early 20th century vehemently believed in the concept of "mind over matter," and one of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy promises to show you how to harness the extraordinary mental powers you already possess.

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.

Very good, very insightful. The message is very clear: if you want to have a good memory, use it, train it, develop it, give it a job to do. Treat it like a muscle. If you want to get better at memorizing stuff, actually work at memorizing things; don't adopt the newest fads at memorizing. The brain works by association: if you are trying to memorize something you have heard, make a visual association as well, because the more associations you make with something, the higher your chance at remembering it will be. For example: if you want to memorize a poem, read the poem, listen to the poem, and write down the poem. These three associations will help you to remember it easier. Also, work on memorizing things daily, and work on recalling what you have memorized on previous days to ensure that you still remember it (in the example of the poem, memorize one line every day, but exercise the memory of the previous days' lines until you have the whole thing).There is no shortcut; there is only work. The work pays off, though! Don't give up because the work is hard. Try harder, commit more to memory, and don't get frustrated if you struggle with it. In our day and age, when our technology remembers everything for us, this will be a very difficult journey, but the rewards will be worth it. (Anthony Smitha)

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...

One of the greatest books I have ever read. It explains the processes of the mind on a level so clear that anyone should be able to understand the basic concepts which lie within the great depth that is our own mind (and you will find if you are well trained that it is the same thing as the mind of others!). Highly advanced meditation practices are included, and transcendental states of mind are within reach for anyone who chooses to study using this book. Psychedelic users can in effect experience highly similar states of mind without the use of any substances via the methods in this book, though it will take serious concentration and a highly supportive environment.

Excellent Book On Metaphysics That Explains The True Wisdom Of Yoga. This Is A Must Read For Those Interested In Esoteric And Occult Sciences. Yoga Is A Very Ancient Philosophy That Goes Beyond The Mere Physical Simulations That Are Now Being Practiced By The General Masses. It Is Not A Mere Exercise Routine But A Spiritual Methodology That Guides Us On The Path Of True Spiritual Knowledge And Wisdom. One Must Do Yoga In Its Complete Essence Then Only He Will Get The Real Benefits Of Physical, Mental, Emotional, And Spiritual Wellbeing. It Is The Way Of The Soul Journey Across Lifetimes In Its Quest For Consciousness Awakening! I Love Researching On These Kind Of Topics. (Glory Dey)
