About the Author Theron Q. Dumont was a pen name (pseudonym) used by the American writer William Walker Atkinson. Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862. He began working as a grocer when he was 15 years old and in his thirties he became a successful lawyer. He authored dozens of books under numerous pseudonyms including Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. However, William Atkinson is best known for his book Thought Vibration. Many people consider this book and his school of thought to be the original inspiration for authors like Wallace D. Wattles, Charles F. Haanel, Napoleon Hill and Rhonda Byrne (The Secret). Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, in his early years the stress and strain took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and he found it with The New Thought Movement. He attributed the restoration of his health, mental vigor and prosperity to the application of the principles of New Thought. Some time after his healing, Atkinson began to write articles on what he had discovered, which at the time was known as Mental Science. In 1889, an article by him entitled "A Mental Science Catechism," appeared in Charles Fillmore's new periodical, Modern Thought. By the early 1890s Chicago had become a major center for New Thought, mainly through the work of Emma Curtis Hopkins, so Atkinson decided to move there. Once in Chicago, he became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author. He was responsible for publishing the magazines Suggestion (1900–1901), New Thought (1901–1905) and Advanced Thought (1906–1916). In December 1901 he assumed editorship of Sydney Flower's popular New Thought magazine, a post that he held until 1905. During these years he built for himself an enduring place in the hearts of its readers. Article after article flowed from his pen. Meanwhile he also founded his own Psychic Club and the so-called "Atkinson School of Mental Science". Both were located in the same building as Flower's Psychic Research and New Thought Publishing Company. Throughout his career, Atkinson wrote and published under his own name and many pseudonyms. In the 1890s, Atkinson had become interested in 3 The Master Mind - Copyright © 2010 ProfitTips.com All Rights Reserved. Hinduism and after 1900 he devoted a great deal of effort to the diffusion of yoga and Oriental occultism in the West. It is unclear whether he actually ever converted to any form of Hindu religion, or merely wished to write on the subject. If he did convert, he left no record of the event. Atkinson started writing a series of books under the name Yogi Ramacharaka in 1903, ultimately releasing more than a dozen titles under this pseudonym. The Ramacharaka books were published by the Yogi Publication Society in Chicago and reached more people than Atkinson's New Thought works did. In fact, all of his books on yoga are still in print today. 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. In 1903, the same year that he began his writing career as Yogi Ramacharaka, Atkinson was admitted to the Bar of Illinois. Some people think it was a desire to protect his ongoing career as a lawyer that led him to adopt so many pseudonyms, but there is no proof of this. During the 1910s, Atkinson put his attention into another pseudonym, that of Theron Q. Dumont. This entity was supposed to be French, and his works, written in English and published in Chicago, combined an interest in New Thought with ideas about the training of the will, memory enhancement, and personal magnetism. In addition to writing and publishing a steady stream of books and pamphlets, Atkinson started writing articles for Elizabeth Towne's New Thought magazine Nautilus, as early as November 1912, and from 1916 to 1919 he simultaneously edited his own journal Advanced Thought. William Walker Atkinson passed away November 22, 1932 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 69, after 50 years of simultaneously successful careers in business, writing, occultism, and the law. 4 The Master Mind - Copyright © 2010 ProfitTips.com All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 The Master Mind In this book there will be nothing said concerning metaphysical theories or philosophical hypotheses; instead, there will be a very strict adherence to the principles of psychology. There will be nothing said of ''spirit'' or "soul''; but very much said of "mind." There will be no speculation concerning the question of "what is the soul," or concerning "what becomes of the soul after the death of the body." These subjects, while highly important and interesting, belong to a different class of investigation, and are outside of the limits of the present inquiry. We shall not even enter into a discussion of the subject of "what is the mind"; instead, we shall confine our thought to the subject of "how does the mind work." For the purposes of the present consideration of the subject before us, we shall rest content with the fundamental postulate that "Every man or woman has a mind," and the corollary that when an intelligent man or woman speaks of "myself," he or she is conscious that his or her "mind" has a more intimate relation to that "self" than has his or her "body.'' The ''body" is usually recognized as "belonging to" the "self," while the "mind" is usually so closely identified with the "self" that it is difficult to distinguish them in thought or expression. Many philosophers and metaphysicians have sought to tell us "just what" the mind is; but they usually leave us as much in doubt as before the so-called explanation. As the old Persian poet has said, we usually "come out the door in which we went," in all such discussions and speculations concerning the nature of mind, or "just what mind really is." We can, and do, know much about how the mind works, but we know little or nothing about what the mind really is. But, for that matter, so far as practical purposes are concerned, it makes very little difference to us just what the mind is, providing we know just how it works, and how it may be controlled and managed. What the Mind Is A well-known psychologist has well said: "It used to be the fashion to begin psychologies with a discussion concerning the material or immaterial nature of the mind. It has been well said that psychology is no more bound to begin by telling what the mind is, than physics is obliged to start by settling the vexed question as to what matter is. Psychology studies the phenomena of mind, just as physics investigates those of matter. Fortunately, phenomena do not change with our varying views as to what things really are. The phenomena of electricity remain the same whether we consider it a fluid, a repulsion of molecules, or vibrations of the ether. If a man hold the strange theory that electricity was a flock of invisible molecular goats that pranced along a wire with inconceivable rapidity, he would still have to insulate 5 The Master Mind - Copyright © 2010 ProfitTips.com All Rights Reserved.

A Classic on the much discussed subjectsBy Andras M. NagyAtkinson is listed in the Wikipedia as "New Thought" school but he was not, he was a true Hermetic magician and Yogi. He was a strange, secretive "bird" but his writing and knowledge on the subject is excellent and clear. This book will not tell you how to interpret these esoteric laws but it tells you how they permeated men's understanding of life and death and how these laws are now even observable world view versus the doctrine of the "official" religions which are intellectually dishonest and illogical. Other books on the subject are lenses of different ideas and schools trying to preach the reader how to see these matters. Atkinson leaves it up to you.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

Thayne Department of History Master of Arts Marie Ogden‘s Home of Truth colony—a religious community that was located in southern Utah during the 1930s and 40s—was part of a segment of the American religious landscape that has largely been overlooked. As such, her movement points to a significant gap in the historiography of American religion. In addition to documenting the history of this obscure community, I situate Marie Ogden as part of what I call the early new age of American religion, an underdeveloped part of the broader categories of metaphysical religion or Western esotericism.

  • The Secret, Cultural Property and the Construction of the Spiritual Commodity
    Cultural Studies Review volume 18 number 2 September 2012 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 52–73 Guy Redden 2012 The Secret, Cultural Property and the Construction of the Spiritual Commodity GUY REDDEN UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY According to John Frow, ‘Every society draws a line between those things that can be privately owned and freely exchanged, and those whose circulation is restricted’.1 Religion is one domain conventionally considered inimical to market exchange. Items deemed sacred may be seen as paradigmatic of goods that are inalienable from the group that holds them dear. Special provisions are often made to restrict their circulation and control their significance. Historically in the West this has involved the regulation of religious ideation and practice by Christian churches. Even while the formal influence of churches over the polity has waned, their institutional direction of matters of the spirit has been maintained. However, numerous commentators have observed the increased commercialisation of religion over recent years.2 This includes both the literal market exchange of religious goods and the ingression of market-like rationalities into established religions that seek to sustain their contemporary relevance by embracing marketing strategies, elements of popular culture and consumer lifestyle expectations. There are numerous questions about the nature and extent of such ISSN 1837-8692 changes, and how they may be indicative of broader societal issues. The rise of market-oriented religiosity has been attributed to the emergence of postwar consumer culture and to other secularising tendencies—such as the social influence of science—that diminish the previous authority of religion and spur religious organisations to recast their appeal.3 It is now common for religious practice to be thought of as sharing affinities with secular forms of consumption in offering participants opportunities to pursue personal identity.4 The commodification of religious goods is less often conceptualised as a production process.
