Reincarnation is the religious or philosophical concept that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life's actions. This doctrine is a central tenet of several religions including Buddhism and Hinduism. It is also a common belief of various ancient and modern religions such as Spiritism, Theosophy, and Eckankar and is found in many tribal societies around the world.

William Walker Atkinson was one of the first authors to write about the law of success otherwise known as the law of attraction. In other words that "like attracts like". Decades before Esther and Jerry Hick's "Money and the Law of Attraction" or Rhonda Byrnes "The Secret", he taught taught readers how to use the power of thought to attract wealth, health, happiness and success. "Many of us are like young elephants that allow themselves to be mastered by weak men, and put through their paces, little dreaming of the mighty strength and power concealed within their organisms. We wonder at the achievements of the great men in all walks of life, and we are apt to excuse ourselves by the sad remark that these people seem to "have it in them," while we have not. Nonsense, we all have it in us to do things a hundred times greater than we are doing!"- William Walker Atkinson

William Walker Atkinson was one of the initial authors to teach the law of attraction, or in other words the idea that "like attracts like". More than seventy years before Esther and Jerry Hick's "Ask and it is Given" or Byrnes multi-million best seller "The Secret", Atkinson demonstrated how to use the power of thought to attract abundance. What is lesser known is that Atkinson also taught individuals to use their minds to perform feats of mentalism such as mind reading and mental telepathy. He cautions readers that scam artists abound and that many such purported demonstrations are fraudulent. At the same time he assures us that serious practitioners can harness the power of their minds to develop extra sensory perceptions grounded in scientific theory. This book is a complete mini-course that teaches how to do just that. Readers who apply Atkinson's methods will leave with a new appreciation for and wonder of the untapped potential of the human mind.Contents: Lesson I.

William Walker Atkinson was one of the earliest authors who taught people how to use the law of attraction to create unlimited abundance and rapid energetic shifts. Decades before Rhonda Byrnes' "The Secret" or Esther and Jerry Hick's "The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent", he showed readers how to use the power of desire, thought and concentration to attract wealth, health, happiness and success. As Mr. Atkinson explains it: "One draws to himself thought waves corresponding in character with the nature of the prevailing thoughts in his own mind-his mental attitude. Then again he begins to set into motion the great Law of Attraction, whereby he draws to him others likely to help him, and is, in turn, attracted to others who can aid him. This Law of Attraction is no joke, no metaphysical absurdity, but is a great live working principle of Nature, as anyone may learn by experimenting and observing."This book *works*, but only if the Exercises are put into practice.
