"New Thought" adherents at the turn of the 20th century vehemently
believed in the concept of "mind over matter," and one of the most
influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy offers
here, in this curious 1908 work, his insight into that
extraordinary ability we all have deep within our minds: the power
of Mental Influence. You'll learn about: . the vibratory force of
Thought-Waves . the invisible ether than transmits Mental Influence
. the first thing occult authorities teach their pupils . the
alluring sway of Fascination . and more. American writer WILLIAM
WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New
Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced
Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books
under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown
today, including "Yogi
Black magic. Telepathy. The Universal Mind. Such wonders are real,
insists spiritualist Alexander Cannon in this 1933 tome, all
manifestations of the invisible influence all around us. Subtitled
"a story of the mystic Orient with great truths which can never
die," this florid and enthusiastic narrative, structured as a
conversation between Cannon and a series of mystics, yogis, and
other sages, offers anecdotes of crystal gazing, levitation,
hypnotism, distant-touching, and other weird phenomena as evidence
of this "invisible influence." A breathless document of the
fascination with the occult that gripped the early years of the
20th century, these tales of the paranormal continue to beguile
today. British physician and psychiatrist ALEXANDER CANNON (b.
1896) also wrote Sleeping Through Space, The Shadow of Destiny,
Science of Hypnotism, and Powers That Be.
The Author Advances His Clairvoyant Treatment, Which Seems To Be A
Combination Of Mesmerism And Herbal Recipes, And Includes Stories
Of His Trips Through Upstate New York, Of Course Curing As He Went,
And To Canada. The Final 30 Pages Consists Of The Author's Herbal
Recipes, For Lung Problems, Dyspepsia, Cancer, Dropsy, Gravel And

To Which Is Added Spiritual Phenomena: How To Investigate Their

In the Law of Psychic Phenomena by author Thomas Jay Hudson, Hudson
has attempted to create a classification of verified psychic
phenomena, accounts of which is found in the literature current on
the subject; and has tentatively formulated a working hypothesis
for the systematic study of all classes of psychic phenomena.
Hudson has collected a vast array of facts, thus accumulated and
verified, and awaiting scientific classification and analysis,
which would seem to justify at least a tentative effort to apply to
them the processes of induction, to the end that the fundamental
law of psychic phenomena may be discovered. This is an important
work for those who are interested in the writings of Thomas Jay
Hudson and also those with an interest in understanding psychic
phenomena.

This collection of essays and lectures by renowned theosophist and
occultist C.W. Leadbeater provides an educated insider's view not
only of clairvoyance and the power of the mind, but also of black
magic and white magic, and the perseverance of the spirit after
death. Both intellectual and spiritual, Leadbeater's writings
attempt to not simply explain these difficult and controversial
subjects, but provide context and guidance. Always stressing the
importance of education and training in these areas, he raises them
above the conventional wisdom that they are fanciful arts. Secrets
Revealed is a must-read for anyone interested in a serious
consideration of New Age spiritual practices. English clergyman
turned spiritualist CHARLES WEBSTER LEADBEATER (1854-1934) was
ordained as an Anglican priest, but later joined the prominent
Theosophical Society and traveled to India to study alternative
spiritual and occult practices, eventually settling into his life
as a clairvoyant and author. His other works include Man Visible
and Invisible and The Science of the Sacrament.
A technical treatise in non-technical language designed to benefit
the professional and amateur, and to give a broader insight into
one of the most fascinating branches of public entertaining.

training. This is an excellent book for those who are interested in

Revised Second Printing MENTAL RADIO By UPTON SINCLAIR Introduction
by WILLIAM McDOUGALL Preface by ALBERT EINSTEIN With a Report by
WALTER FRANKLIN PRINCE CHARLES C THOMAS PUBLISHER Springfield
Illinois U. S. A. tt - MARY CRAIG SINCLAIR 1883-1961 INTRODUCTION J
J r. Upton Sinclair needs no introduction to the public as a
fearless, honest, and critical student o public affairs. But in the
present book he has with characteristic courage entered a new
field, one in which reputations are more easily lost than made, the
field of Psychic Research. When he does me the honor to ask me to
write a few words of introduction to this book, a refusal would
imply on my part a lack either of courage or of due sense of
scientific respon sibility. I have long been keenly interested in
this field and it is not necessary to hold that the researches of
the past fifty years have brought any solidly established
conclusions in order to feel sure that further research is very
much worth while. Even if the results of such research should in
the end prove wholly negative that would be a result of no small
importance for from many points of view it is urgently to be wished
that we may know where we stand in this question of the reality of
alleged supernormal phenomena. In dis cussing this question
recently with a small group of scientific men, one of them who is
perhaps the most prominent and influential of American
psychologists seemed to feel that the whole problem was settled in
the negative when he asserted that at the present time no American
psychologist of standing took any interest in this field. I do not
know whether he meant to deny my Americanism or my standing,
neither of which I can establish. Buthis remark if it were true,
would not in any degree support his conclusion it would rather be a
grave reproach to American psychologists. Happily it is possible to
name several younger American psychologists who are keenly
interested in the problem of telepathy. And it is with experiments
in telepathy that Mr. Sinclairs book is chiefly concerned. In this
part, as in other parts, of the field of Psychic Research, progress
must largely depend upon such work by intelligent educated laymen
or amateurs as is here re ported. For facility in obtaining
seemingly supernormal phenom ena seems to be of rare and sporadic
occurrence and it is the duty of men of science to give whatever
encouragement and sympathetic . wisfts cut cio. PUBLIC mm 6300824
Vl MENTAL RADIO support may be possible to all amateurs who find
themselves in a position to observe and carefully and honestly to
study such phenomena. Mrs. Sinclair would seem to be one of the
rare persons who have telepathic power in a marked degree and
perhaps other super normal powers. The experiments in telepathy, as
reported in the pages of this book, were so remarkably successful
as to rank among the very best hitherto reported. The degree of
success and the conditions of experiment were such that we can
reject them as conclusive evidence of some mode of communication
not at present explicable in accepted scientific terms only by
assuming that Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair either are grossly stupid,
incompetent and care less persons or have deliberately entered upon
a conspiracy to deceive the public in a most heartless and
reprehensible fashion. I have unfortunately no intimate personal
knowledge of Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair but I am acquainted with someof
Mr. Sinclairs earlier publications and that acquaintance suffices
to convince me, as it should convince any impartial reader, that he
is an able and sincere man with a strong sense of right and wrong
and of indi vidual responsibility. His record and his writings
should secure a wide and respectful hearing for what he has to tell
us in the follow ing pages. Mrs...
The Prime Object Of This Little Volume Is To Set Forth Clearly And
Concisely The Value Of Psychology, Hypnotism And Clairvoyance As
Practically Applied To Education, Morality, Spirituality, Medicine,
Surgery, Business, And To The Development And Exercise Of Personal
Magnetism.
