Synopsis

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is also known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. Due in part to Atkinson's intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. (He obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications—-but these are mostly subscription based, and reflect more on his desire to be known than his contemporary fame.) His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900. Cover photography by Paul Spremulli.

From the Back Cover

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 Raja Yoga. His lessons cover:

* the ego's mental tools * the expansion of the self * mental control * the cultivation of attention * the cultivation of perception * subconscious character building * and much more.
