This book is an easy to follow and effective guide to mental fascination. This was the first book on the paranormal I ever read and it impressed the SKEPTIC that I AM. There are a lot of corny and gimicky books that I have found on powers of the mind, but none explain or instruct or give exercises to help you obtain the focus required. This book is wonderful for anyone who has an open mind, interest, or curiousity for the paranormal. This is so, because it is not some flim-flam, hocus-pocus described by a psychic who has no real understanding of his/her abilities, but data collected by various occults and scientificly tested. I was only in the seventh grade when I practiced the methods in this book which allowed me to astonish my parents with mind reading, establish a strong report or link with my younger sister and convince my aunt to use me in card games. The most unexpected paranormal effects that are unrelated to mind reading or mind control resulting from the exercises in this book are always the most amazing.(I am actually the son of David B. Jones. Forgive my computer incompetence in taking his name in this review but I am still a minor and legally it probably should be his name. My father, a scientific man, was the hardest to convince. What he saw he did not understand and continually thought there was some kind of trick until I preformed the book's exercises on him and him on me.)

THE BOOK BY WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON THAT I HAVE READ IS ENTITLED "MINDPOWER-THE SECRET OF MENTAL MAGIC". IT IS NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH AMAZON, HOWEVER I HAVE ORDERED EVERY OTHER ATKINSON BOOK THEY HAD. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RARE BOOK. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT WAS HIS LAST WORK. ANYONE WHO HAS ANY INFO ON WILLIAM ATKINSON I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM.

Written close to a century ago, this is still a relevant and timeless text. Atkinson does a great job in developing, in a logical order the societal history and application of Reincarnation and the Law Of Karma. He traces the concept of Transmigration of souls through Egyptian, Chaldean, Druid, Roman, Greek, Jewish, Essene, Early Christian, Hindu societies. He then explores current modern applications (remember he is a contemporary of Madame Blavatsky) and the explores issue sof what happens between Incarnations, issues of Justice and Incarnation, and then presents a an argument for and against Reincarnation. Finally he reviews the Law of Karma. I think that this book, in tandem with "The Kybalion" will evoke the reader to explore Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine" and other related Theosophical works. I would rate this a "must have" for any serious spiritual library.

I loved this book. if you can understand it youll get it and now i have a more posative outlook

I have not read this book. The purpose of writing this is to inform prospective buyers that there's a slight error in the book description. Checking with Kessinger's catalog, this book contains 94 pages and not the stated 226 (check book dimensions).

I did rate this book, however, based on another book I have by the same author and publisher. It is Practical Psychomancy and Crystal Gazing (1907) and at 93 pages it basically has the same dimensions as this book does.
