Mystic Christianity is a surprising and fresh look at a very
familiar subject - the life and teaching of Christ. Written over
100 years ago by Yogi Ramacharaka, the book examines the basic
tenets of the Christian narrative through the lens of Eastern
spirituality. It takes the form of twelve lessons which work
chronologically through the life of Jesus, including a period in
which he is rumored to have traveled to India and Persia, and then
examines his credo in detail, paying particular attention to the
private teachings given to Jesus' closest disciples. Ramacharaka
makes a connection between these teachings and other mystical
traditions which were prevalent at the time. Yogi Ramacharaka is
the pen name of William Walker Atkinson, an early-20th Century
American writer who helped to promote Asian philosophy and culture
in the West.
Followers of the early-20th-century "New Age" philosophy of New
Thought believed they could learn the secrets of mind over matter,
and one of their most influential teachers-enormously popular
writer and editor William Walker Atkinson, writing pseudonymously
here-revealed to them, in this 1906 work, the teachings of Gnani
Yoga, "the yoga of wisdom." His lessons cover: . omnipresent life .
the creative will . within the mind of the One . cosmic evolution .
the ascent of man . spiritual evolution . the law of karma . and
much more. See also Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga, also available
from Cosimo. 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
Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont."
