I wish to invite you to the consideration of a great principle of Nature--a great natural force that manifests its activities in the phenomena of Dynamic Mentation--a great Something the energies of which I have called "mind-power." My thought on the subject is based upon the fundamental conception that:-- These Exists In Nature A Dynamic Mental PrinCiple--a Mind-power--Pervading All Space--ImmaNent In All Things--Manifesting In An Infinite VaRiety OF FORMS, DEGREES, AND PHASES.

I believe that the activities of this dynamic mental principle are intimately correlated to manifestations of the mental operations known to us as desire, will, and imagination. We shall learn something of the laws and principles and modes of operation of its energies and activities, as we proceed with our consideration of it, in this work. It may be difficult for you to grasp this conception of Mind-Power at the start--but it will grow upon your understanding as its activities are presented to you, one by one, like a great panorama. My terms will be explained and illustrated by examples, as we proceed--so you need not analyze them at this point. It may be as well, however, to state that I have used the term "Dynamic" in its original Greek sense, i. e., "powerful"; "possessing power," etc. I have...

Considered by some to be his masterpiece, this 1912 work is the culmination of decades worth of study by William Walker Atkinson, one of the most influential thinkers of the early-20th-century "New Age" philosophy of New Thought, which encouraged its adherents to learn the secrets of mind over matter. They did so via Atkinson's instruction, and here, in one concise volume, are his lessons on:
* mental magic * desire and will * personal magnetism * mind-power in action * four kinds of suggestion * and more.
