eBook 정보

This antiquarian volume contains a complete and comprehensive guide to clairvoyance, including information on clairaudience, premonition, psychometry, crystal-gazing, distant clairvoyance, past clairvoyance, second-sight, and much more. This interesting book will appeal to those with a practical or academic interest in the practice, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. The chapters of this book include: “The Astral Senses”, “Telepathy vs. Clairvoyance”, “Telepathy Explained”, “Scientific Telepathy”, “Mind-Reading, and Beyond”, “Clairvoyant Psychometry”, “Clairvoyant Crystal-Gazing”, “Clairvoyant Reverie”, “Simple Clairvoyance”, “Clairvoyance of Distant Scenes”, “Clairvoyance of the Future”, etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

저자 정보

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 known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. Due in part to Atkinson's intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. (He obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications--but these are mostly subscription based, and reflect more on his desire to be known than his contemporary fame.) His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900. Atkinson apparently enjoyed the idea of writing as a Hindu so much that he created two more Indian personas, Swami Bhakta Vishita and Swami Panchadasi. Strangely, neither of these identities wrote on Hinduism. Their material was for the most part concerned with the arts of divination and mediumship, including "oriental" forms of clairvoyance and seership. Of the two, Swami Bhakta Vishita was by far the more popular, and with more than 30 titles to his credit, he eventually outsold even Yogi Ramacharaka.
