Mind and Body; or, Mental States and Physical Conditions by William Walker Atkinson has been regarded as significant work throughout human history, and in order to ensure that this work is never lost, we have taken steps to ensure its preservation by republishing this book in a contemporary format for both current and future generations. This entire book has been retyped, redesigned, and reformatted. Since these books are not made from scanned copies, the text is readable and clear.

"We greet our old students who have returned to us for the Advanced Course. We feel that, hereafter, it will not be necessary to repeat the elementary explanations which formed such an important part of the former class work, and we may be able to go right to the heart of the subject, feeling assured that each student is prepared to receive the same. Many read the former lessons from curiosity some have become so interested that they wish to go on others have failed to find the sensational features for which they had hoped, and have dropped from the ranks. It is ever so. Many come, but only a certain percentage are ready to go on. Out of a thousand seeds sown by the farmer, only a hundred manifest life. But the work is intended for that hundred, and they will re- pay the farmer for his labor. In our seed sowing, it is even more satisfactory, for even the remaining nine hundred will show life at some time in the future. No occult teaching is ever wasted all bears fruit in its own good time. We welcome the students in the Advanced Coursewe con- gratulate ourselves in having such a large number of interested listeners ¿and we congratulate the students in having reached the stage in which they feel such an interest in the work, and in being ready to go on."

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. The Western student, on the other hand, is accustomed to maintaining the skeptical attitude of mind-the scientific attitude of doubt and demand for proof-and the teacher so understands it. Both are accustomed to illustrations bringing out the principles involved, but these illustrations must not be fanciful or figurative- they must be actual cases, well authenticated and vouched for as evidence. In short, the Western teacher is expected to actually "prove" to his students his principles and methods, before he may expect them to be accepted. This, of course, not from any real doubt or suspicion of the veracity or ability of the teacher, but merely because the Western mind expects to question, and be questioned, in this way in the process of teaching and learning.

First published in 1903, 'The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath' by William Walker Atkinson, an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. Yogi's system of Complete Breathing is of vital importance to every man, woman, and child who wishes to acquire health and keep it. This book explains in layman's terms what happens inside our bodies when we inhale and then exhale. And the effects improper breathing has on both our internal and external extremities. It describes nature's proximity to the respiratory and circulatory systems. The final sections include invaluable Yogi breathing exercises for increased breathing awareness and better health. "All is in vibration. From the tiniest atom to the greatest sun, everything is in a state of vibration. There is nothing in absolute rest in nature. A single atom deprived of vibration would wreck the universe. In incessant vibration, the universal work is performed."

"Human Nature" is a term most frequently used and yet but little understood. The average person knows in a general way what he and others mean when this term is employed, but very few are able to give an off-hand definition of the term or to state what in their opinion constitutes the real essence of the thought expressed by the familiar phrase. We are of the opinion that the first step in the process of correct understanding of any subject is that of acquaintance with its principal terms, and, so, we shall begin our consideration of the subject of Human Nature by an examination of the term used to express the idea itself. "Human," of course, means "of or pertaining to man or mankind." Therefore, Human Nature means the nature of man or mankind. "Nature," in this usage, means: "The natural disposition of mind of any person; temper; personal character; individual constitution; the peculiar mental characteristics and attributes which serve to distinguish one person from another." Thus we see that the essence of the nature of men, or of a particular human being, is the mind, the mental qualities, characteristics, properties and attributes. Human Nature is then a phase of psychology and subject to the laws, principles and methods of study, examination and consideration of that particular branch of science

The Aura is the invisible emanation radiating from every individual. An ethereal radiation. The egg-shaped human nebula. Psychic atmosphere sensed by everyone, but seen by but few. The clairvoyant vision. The phosphorescent flame, and luminous cloud. The colors in the aura and what they mean. Effect of mental states, emotion and passion, upon its aura. The human aura is a very important and interesting phase of every personality. The finer forces, the most powerful.

Mind and Body - Mental States and Physical Conditions To the mind of those who have contented themselves with merely the superficial aspects of things, these two things, mind and body; and mental states and physical conditions, seem to be as far apart as the two poles; seem to be opposites and contradictories impossible of reconciliation. But to those who have penetrated beneath the surface of things, these two apparent opposites are seen to be so closely related and inter-related, so blended and mingled together in manifestation, that it is practically impossible to scientifically determine where the one leaves off and the other begins. And so constant and close is their mutual action and reaction, that it often becomes impossible to state positively which is the cause and which the effect. In the first place, Science now informs us that in all living substance, from cell to mammoth, there is and must be Mind. There can be no Life without Mind. Mind, indeed, is held to be the very "livingness" of Life, the greater the degree of manifestation of Mind, the higher the degree of Life. Moreover, the New Psychology informs us that upon the activities of the Subconscious Mind depend all the processes of physical life, that the Subconscious Mind is the essence of what was formerly called the Vital Force, and is embodied in every cell, cell-group or organ of the body. And, that this Subconscious Mind is amenable to suggestion, good and evil, from the conscious mind of its owner, as well as from outside. When the subject of the influence of Mental States upon Physical Conditions is studied, one sees that the Physical Condition is merely the reflection of the Mental State, and the problem seems to be solved, the mystery of Health and Disease solved. We have written this book to reach not only those who refuse to see the wonderful influence of the Mental States over the Physical Conditions, but also for our "metaphysical" friends who have become so enamored with the power of the Mind that they practically ignore the existence of the Body, indeed, in some cases, actually denying the existence of the latter. We believe that there is a sane middle-ground in "metaphysical healing," as there is in the material treatment of disease. In this case, not only does Truth lie between the two extremes, but it is composed of the blending and assimilation of the two opposing ideas and theories. But, even if the reader does not fully agree with us in our general theories and conclusions, he will find within the covers of this book a mass of facts which he may use in building up a new theory of his own. And, after all, what are theories but the threads upon which are strung the beads of facts, if our string does not meet with your approval, break it and string the beads of fact upon a thread of your own. Theories come, and theories go, but facts remain.

En la mente de la mayoría de las personas, el término Magnetismo Personal transmite la idea de una corriente que irradia de la persona del individuo magnético, atrayendo hacia sí a todos los que se encuentran dentro del radio de su fuerza magnética. Esta idea, aunque errónea en su conjunto, contiene sin embargo el germen de una verdad real. Hay una corriente de fuerza atractiva que irradia del hombre, pero no es una fuerza magnética en la medida en que el término "magnetismo" implica cualquier conexión con el magnetismo o la electricidad. La corriente magnética humana, aunque tiene cierta semejanza con estas dos fuerzas familiares en sus efectos, no tiene ninguna conexión real con ellas en lo que se refiere a su origen o naturaleza intrínseca.Lo que llamamos Magnetismo Personal es la corriente sutil de ondas de pensamiento, o vibraciones de pensamiento, proyectadas por la mente humana. Cada pensamiento creado por nuestra mente es una fuerza de mayor o menor intensidad, que varía según el impulso que se le da en el momento de su creación

In most people's minds, the term Personal Magnetism conveys the idea of a current radiating from the person of the magnetic individual, drawing to itself all those within the radius of its magnetic force. This idea, although erroneous on the whole, nevertheless contains within it the germ of real truth. There is a current of attractive force radiating from man, but it is not a magnetic force to the extent that the term "magnetism" implies any connection with magnet or electricity. The human magnetic current, while having some resemblance to these two familiar forces in its effects, has no real connection with them as far as its origin or intrinsic nature is concerned.What we call Personal Magnetism is the subtle current of thought-waves, or thought-vibrations, projected by the human mind. Every thought created by our mind is a force of greater or lesser intensity, varying in strength according to the impulse given to it at the time of its creation.

For over one hundred years western students have been aided in their study of New Thought philosophy and eastern teachings by the writing of William Walker Atkinson, also by his pseudonym, "Yogi Ramacharaka." This collector-quality edition includes the complete text of this enduring classic in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition. Whether as an introduction for beginners or a self-study guide for more advanced students, the simple, straightforward style of Atkinson's work belies the depth of the wisdom contained in the text. "Reincarnation and the Law of Karma" is a comprehensive study of reincarnation, the doctrine of rebirth, and the concept of karma as spiritual cause and effect. Presented in a straightforward manner in plain language, the text guides the reader through a study of the philosophy of reincarnation and karma and the application of these doctrines in the life of the individual. Generations of students have found the study of this text and the practice of its teachings to be a valuable step in the attainment of wisdom, and awareness. William Walker Atkinson was an incredibly prolific American writer who published extensively in areas of yoga, the occult, eastern mysticism, personal development, and related subjects. A successful businessman and attorney, Atkinson suffered what may have been a nervous breakdown in the late 1880's and, in the course of his recovery, became immersed in the "new thought" movement, eastern mysticism, and yoga. Atkinson was a serious and devoted student of Hindu philosophy and yoga, and was a major force in introducing these concepts to the United States.

A book of practical psychology. The values to be derived from such a work are necessarily suggestive, and nothing is more powerfully helpful to any one than suggestions. So when considering in this book the subjects of mind and will, ably and interestingly presented by Mr. Atkinson, the reader must be benefitted, for it is the law of suggestion that attributes, elements of greatness within respond to suggestions from without. No one, therefore, can carefully read this book without awakening responsiveness and obtaining a further knowledge and control of the faculties therein treated.
