The student of occultism usually is quite familiar with the crass individual who assumes the cheap skeptical attitude toward occult matters, which attitude he expresses in his would-be “smart” remark that he “believes only in what his senses perceive.” He seems to think that his cheap wit has finally disposed of the matter, the implication being that the occultist is a credulous, “easy” person who believes in the existence of things contrary to the evidence of the senses.While the opinion or views of persons of this class are, of course, beneath the serious concern of any true student of occultism, nevertheless the mental attitude of such persons are worthy of our passing consideration, inasmuch as it serves to give us an object lesson regarding the childlike attitude of the average so-called “practical” persons regarding the matter of the evidence of the senses.

About the Author

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 know to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumot, Yogi Ramacharaka and Swami Panchadasi. Due in part to Atkinson't intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is not largely forgotten, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of American, and several similar publications - and having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900.
