Many more philosophic minds than mine have thought over the religious side of this subject and many more scientific brains have turned their attention to its phenomenal aspect. So far as I know, however, there has been no former attempt to show the exact relation of the one to the other. I feel that if I should succeed in making this a little more clear I shall have helped in what I regard as far the most important question with which the human race is concerned. A celebrated Psychic, Mrs. Piper, uttered, in the year 1899 words which were recorded by Dr. Hodgson at the time. She was speaking in trance upon the future of spiritual religion, and she said: 'In the next century this will be astonishingly perceptible to the minds of men. I will also make a statement which you will surely see verified. Before the clear revelation of spirit communication there will be a terrible war in different parts of the world. The entire world must be purified and cleansed before mortal can see, through his spiritual vision, his friends on this side and it will take just this line of action to bring about a state of perfection. Friend, kindly think of this.' We have had 'the terrible war in different parts of the world.' The second half remains to be fulfilled.

I DO not expect this book to stand upon its literary merits; for if it is unsound in principle, felicity of diction cannot save it, and if sound, homeliness of expression cannot destroy it. My primary object in offering it to the public is to assist in bringing Psychology within the domain of the exact sciences. That this has never been accomplished is owing to the fact that no successful attempt has been made to formulate a working hypothesis sufficiently comprehensive to embrace all psychic phenomena. Sincerely believing in the correctness of my hypothesis, I have not hesitated to follow it to its legitimate conclusion in every field which I have entered. If at the close of the book I have seemed to trespass upon the forbidden field of theological discussion, it was not for the purpose of sustaining any preconceived opinions of my own; far from it. It was because I was irresistibly led to my conclusions by the terms of my hypothesis and the inflexible logic of its application. I cannot but be aware that my conclusions sometimes oppose the preconceived opinions of others. But no one who accepts my hypothesis as the true one will be compelled more frequently than I have been to renounce his former convictions.

William Walker Atkinson was one of the initial authors to teach the law of attraction, or in other words the idea that "like attracts like." More than seventy years before Esther and Jerry Hick's "Ask and it is Given" or Byrnes multi-million best seller "The Secret," Atkinson demonstrated how to use the power of thought to attract abundance. What is lesser known is that Atkinson also taught individuals to use their minds to perform feats of mentalism such as mind reading and mental telepathy. He cautions readers that scam artists abound and that many such purported demonstrations are fraudulent. At the same time he assures us that serious practitioners can harness the power of their minds to develop extra sensory perceptions grounded in scientific theory. This book is a complete mini-course that teaches how to do just that. Readers who apply Atkinson's methods will leave with a new appreciation for and wonder of the untapped potential of the human mind. Contents: Lesson I.
