These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Dynamic Thought or The Law of Vibrant Energy: Look inside the book: Science and Philosophy have long laughed at this, but even now their foremost investigators have come to the borders of a new country, and are gasping in amazement at what they see beyond its borders-they are now talking about 'Life and Mind in the Ether'-and before long they will discard their paradoxical, absurd, hypothetical Ether, and say, 'We are bathed in an Ocean of Mind'-only they will insist that this 'Ocean of Mind' is, somehow, a 'secretion of Matter'-something oozing out from the pores of Matter, perhaps. ...Instead of regarding Force as a distinct principle, and as something of which Mind is but a form, he walks boldly out into the arena of Scientific Thought, and throwing down hisPg 28 gauntlet, proclaims his theory that 'There is no such thing as Force apart from Life and Mind'-'All Force and Energy is the product of Life and Mind-all Force, Energy and Motion result from Vital-Mental Action-all Force, Energy and Motion is Vital-Mental Force, Energy and Motion.'-'The Mind abiding in and permeating all Substance, not only has the power to Think, but also the power to Act, and to manifest Force and Energy, which are its inherent and essential properties.' About William Walker Atkinson, the Author: It is not known whether he ever acknowledged authorship of these pseudonymous works, but all of the supposedly independent authors whose writings are now credited to Atkinson were linked to one another by virtue of the fact that their works were released by a series of publishing houses with shared addresses and they also wrote for a series of magazines with a shared roster of authors. ...Randolph was known for embroidering the truth when it came to his own autobiography (he claimed that his mother Flora Randolph, an African American woman from Virginia, who died when he was eleven years old, had been a foreign princess) but he was actually telling the truth-or something very close to it, according to his biographer John Patrick Deveney-when he said that he had met the Maharajah in Europe and had learned from him the proper way to use both polished gemstones and Indian 'bhattah mirrors' in divination.

Book Description
Dynamic Thought Or, The Law Of Vibrant Energy - William Walker Atkinson - First published in 1906 - This is a queer book. It is a marriage of the Ancient Occult Teachings to the latest and most advanced conceptions of Modern Science. In this book the writer will advance a very different theory of the Universe of All-Things from that of Modern Science, although he feels that his theory may easily be reconciled with the most advanced views of that school. In the first place, he does not hold that the Universe, as we know it, is self-sufficient, but he recognizes a Something back of all phenomena and appearances, which Something he calls "The Innite." And he differs very materially from the views of those who claim that Mind is but a property, or quality, or something proceeding from Matter or Force, or Matter-Force, or Force-Matter-according to the views of the respective schools. He takes an entirely different and opposite position. He also takes the position that Mind is in and about andaround Everything. And that "Everything is Alive and Thinking." And that there is no such things as "Dead-Matter," or "Blind-Force," but that all Substance, even to the tiniest Particle, is permeated with Life and Mind, and that all Force and Motion is caused and manifested by Mind.

Book Description
When you feel that there is more to your life than what you currently have, and you are ready to understand the dynamics that silently structures your life - you begin to awaken.There is a higher consciousness from which any answer can be found, any reality achieved. This higher consciousness is not to be identified with your physical body or your personality. This higher consciousness is the “I” and the “WILL”, and if used correctly can steer your life in any direction you choose – you need only to focus it. Everyone has a higher consciousness yet only few ever realize it. The correct use of the WILL is not to be controlled by outside forces or the physical world, but to have control over them. This is achievable through the varied states of consciousness that have always been available to you.In his book 'Dynamic Thought or the Law of Vibrant Energy' (first published in 1906), William Walker Atkinson explores the theory of the law of attraction and explains the universal laws and principals that govern the mind and the natural world. Through the use of dynamic thought, one can attract to him, what he or she desires. 'There is absolutely no rest in nature - everything is constantly changing, moving and vibrating. Life is evident everywhere, is the Universal Principal at work.'

Book Description
Dynamic Thought by William Walker Atkinson This is a queer book. It is a marriage of the Ancient Occult Teachings to the latest and most advanced conceptions of Modern Science—an odd union, for the parties thereto are of entirely different temperaments. The marriage might be expected to result disastrously, were it not for the fact that a connecting link has been found that gives them a bond of common interest. No two people may truly love each other, unless they also love something in common—the more they love in common, the greater will be their love for each other. And, let us trust that this will prove true in this marriage of Occultism and Science, celebrated in this book. The Occultists usually get at the "facts," first, but they manage to evolve such outrageous theories to explain the facts, that the world will have none of their wares, and turns to Science for something "reasonable." Science, proceeding along different lines, at first denies these "facts" of the Occultists, not finding them accounted for by any of her existing theories; but, later on, when the "facts" have been finally thrust under her eyes, after repeated attempts and failures, she says, "Oh, yes, of course!" and proceeds to evolve a new theory, welding it with other scientific hypotheses, and after attaching a new label thereto, she proudly exhibits the thing as "the latest discovery of Modern Science"—and smiles indulgently, or indignantly, when the theory of the old Occultists is mentioned, saying, "Quite a different thing, we assure you!" And yet, in all justice, be it said, Science usually proceeds to find much better "proofs" to fit the "facts" of Occultism, than did the Occultists themselves. The Occultist "sees things," but is a poor hand at "proofs"—while the Scientist is great on "proofs," but so often, and so long, fails to see many things patent to the Occultist who is able to "look within" himself, but who is then unable to positively and scientifically "prove" the facts. This is easily explained—the Occultist's information comes from "within," while the Scientist's comes from without—and "proofs" belong to the "without" side of Mentation. And this is why the Occultists so often make such a bungle regarding "proofs" and the Scientist fails to see "facts" that are staring the Occultist in the face. The whole history of Occultism and Science proves the above. Take the phenomenon called "Mesmerism" for instance—it was an old story with the Occultists, who had been for years aware of it, theoretically and practically. Mesmer brought it into general prominence, and Science laughed at it and at Mesmer's "fluid" theory, and called him a charlatan and imposter. Years afterwards, Braid, an English surgeon, discovered that some of the facts of "Mesmerism" were true, and he announced his discovery in a scientific manner, and lo! his views were accepted, and the thing was called "Hypnotism," poor old Mesmer being forgotten, because of his theory. Then, after a number of years, certain other aspects of the phenomenon were discovered, and scientifically relabelled "Suggestion," and the re-naming was supposed to "explain" the entire subject, the learned ones now saying, "Pooh, 'tis nothing but 'Suggestion,'" as if that explained the matter. But so far, they have only accepted certain phases of this form of Dynamic Thought—for that is what it is, and there are many other phases of which they do not dream.

Dynamic Thought the Law of Vibrant Energy: a Theory of the Cosmic Mind
Author: William Walker Atkinson
Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781500431945
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This premium quality edition includes the complete text of William Walker Atkinson's classic "universal cosmic mind" text in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition. With a generous 6" x 9" page size, this Summit Classic Press edition is printed on heavyweight 60# bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. Also included is a new, original biographical sketch discussing the author and his work. In Dynamic Thought William Walker Atkinson sets out a theory to reconcile the "realities" of science with the "realities" of the mystic view of the oneness of the universe, demonstrating the similarities that lay at the root of the efforts of both schools of thought to explain the universe as humans perceive it, providing a framework for understanding many of the phenomena which science can not explain, but which have long been recognized by occultists and mystics and, in more recent times, paranormal researchers: ...The reader will see, readily, that this theory of Dynamic Thought, and the facts noted in the consideration thereof, give an intelligent explanation for the respective phenomena of Hypnotism, Mesmerism, Suggestion, Thought-transference, Telepathy, etc., as well as of Mental Healing, Magnetic Healing, etc., all of which are manifestations of "Dynamic Thought." Not only do we see ... that "Thoughts are Things," but we may see "just why" they are Things. And we may see and understand the laws of their production and operation. ... The very existence of "paranormal psychology" and "paranormal research" in scientific circles today bears out Atkinson's prediction that science would one day, slowly, begin to explore the concept of the "cosmic mind" or "universal mind," by which he means a force, as opposed to a substance, surrounding and connecting everything and everyone in the universe. While science, in Atkinson's day, still clung to the concept of "the ether" to explain the mysterious "something" that clearly filled the "void" between physical objects, but could not be measured or observed, today "dark matter" fills a similar role in scientific theory, an undefined "something" that can explain the otherwise scientifically inexplicable. In Atkinson's theory, this undefined "something" is not an inert physical substance, but rather a universal force or energy which encompasses "thought" as we know it but is a far more complex universal phenomenon than mere conscious human thought. It is the concept of this universal consciousness, or cosmic mind, at work in a multitude of manifestations, which forms the basis for Atkinson's theory of what he calls "Dynamic Thought." Atkinson's work provides a useful, accessible guide to the concept of a universal consciousness, sometimes called "the universal mind" or the "cosmic mind" which is common to both eastern mystic and religious thought and the more westernized doctrine of theosophy. William Walker Atkinson (1862-1932) was an incredibly prolific American writer, also widely known by his pseudonym, "Yogi Ramacharaka,"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 popular self-improvement and personal development writer, a leading voice in the New Thought movement and a serious and devoted student of Hindu philosophy and yoga, and was a major force in introducing these concepts to the United States. His writings are still widely read and well-respected, and his "Yoga Philosophy and Oriental Occultism" is considered an excellent basic text for the western layman.
