Excerpt from Clairvoyance and Occult Powers
In preparing this series of lessons for students of Western lands, I have been compelled to proceed along lines exactly opposite to those which I would have chosen had these lessons been for students in India. This because of the diametrically opposite mental attitudes of the students of these two several lands.
The student in India expects the teacher to state positively the principles involved, and the methods whereby these principles may be manifested, together with frequent illustrations (generally in the nature of fables or parables), serving to link the new knowledge to some already known thing. The Hindu student never expects or demands anything in the nature of "proof" of the teachers statements of principle or method; in fact, he would regard it as an insult to the teacher to ask for the same. Consequently, he does not look for, or ask, specific instances or illustrations in the nature of scientific evidence or proof of the principles taught. He may ask for more information, but solely for the purpose of bringing out some point which he has not grasped; but he avoids as a pestilence any question seeming to indicate argument, doubt of what is being taught him, or of the nature of a demand for proof or evidence.

About the Author:
"Swami Panchadasi, a.k.a. William Walker Atkinson, was an attorney, businessman, occultist, and New Thought pioneer. The twenty lessons in psychic development contained in Clairvoyance & Occult Powers are as relevant today as they were when they were written, a hundred years ago. Swami Panchadasi is just one of many, many pseudonyms used by Atkinson. ... Atkinson's prolific output helped to spawn a steady stream of motivational/prosperity authors that leads all the way forward to Ronda Byrne and Esther and Jerry Hicks. Atkinson was ahead of his time in writing for an audience with shortened attention spans and for those seeking personal experience of the transcendental as opposed to hierarchical religious practice. Many of the books penned by Atkinson as Yogi Ramacharaka are still popular in New Age circles." -Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer
