Dumont and Yoga Ramacharake. He has written about 100 books, all in the last 30 years of his life. He has been mentioned in past editions of Who's Who in America, In America's Religious Leaders and in several similar publications. His work has remained in print more or less continuously since 1900. William Walker Atkinson was born on December 5, 1862, in Baltimore, Maryland, at the age of 4 at the age of Emma and William Atkinson. He began his working life as a grocer at the age of 15, probably helping his father. In October 1889, he married Margrethe Foster Black of Beverly, New Jersey, and they had two children. Their first child probably died young. The second later married and had two daughters. Atkinson began his business career in 1882, and in 1894 he was hired as a lawyer for the Pennsylvania Attorney's Office. Although he gained many material successes in his profession as a lawyer, stress and excessive stress eventually took his toll, and during that time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and a financial disaster. He sought healing and in the late 1880s he found it with a new thought, later attributing the restoration of his health, mental strength, and material prosperity to the application of the principles of the New Thought. Mental science and a new thought Some time after his healing, Atkinson began writing articles about the truths he felt he had discovered, which were then known as psychic science. In 1889, his article entitled Mental Catechism of Science appeared in a new periodical of Charles Fillmore's Modern Thought. By the early 1890s, Chicago had become a major center of new thought, largely thanks to the work of Emma Curtis Hopkins, and Atkinson decided to move there. Once in the city, he became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author. He was responsible for the publication of The Proposal magazines (1900-1901), New Thought (1901-1905) and Advanced Thought (1906-1916). In 1900, Atkinson worked as an assistant editor for The Same, New Thought Journal, and wrote his likely first book, Thought-Power in Business and Everyday Life, being a series of lessons in personal magnetism, mental influence, thought-strength, concentration, willpower, and practical psychic science. Then he met Flower, a well-known publisher of New Thought and a businessman, and has teamed up with him. In December 1901, he became the editor of Flower's popular New Thought magazine, which he held until 1905. Over the years, he has built a strong place in the hearts of his readers. Article after article flowed from his pen. Meanwhile, he also founded his own psychic club and the so-called Atkinson School of Psychic Sciences. Both were located in the same building as Psychic Flower Research and New Thought Publishing Company. Atkinson was a former president of the International New Thought Alliance. Publishing career and use of pseudonyms Throughout his subsequent career Atkinson is believed to have written under many pseudonyms. It is not known whether he ever confirmed or denied the authorship of these pseudonymous works, but all the supposedly independent authors whose writings are now attributed to Atkinson were linked because their works were published by a number of publishers with common addresses, and they also wrote for a series of magazines with a common list of authors. Atkinson was the editor of all these magazines, and his authors under a pseudonym acted first as authors of periodicals and then were twisted in their own careers of writing books, with most of their books being published by Atkinson's own publishers. One of the keys to untangling this tangled web of aliases is in the journal Advanced Thought, which is considered a journal of new thought, practical psychology, yoga philosophy, constructive occultism, metaphysical healing, etc. The magazine, edited by Atkinson, advertised articles by Atkinson, Yoga Ramacharak and Theron S. Dumont - the last two were later attributed to Atkinson, and he had the same address as the Yoga Publishing Society, which published works attributed to Ramacharake's yoga. Swami Bhakta Cticshita's articles were also published in Advanced Thought magazine, but when it came time to collect Cticita's writings as a book, they were not published by the Yoga Publishing House. Instead, they were published by The Advanced Thought Publishing Co., the same house that brought out Theron S. Dumont's book and published Advanced Thoughts. Hinduism and yoga In the 1890s Atkinson became interested in Hinduism and after 1900 devoted a lot of efforts to the spread of yoga and the Eastern occult in the West. It is unclear at this point whether he has in fact ever attributed any form of Hindu religion, or just wanted to write on the subject. According to unverified sources, while Atkinson was in Chicago for the World Columbia Exhibition in 1893, he met a certain Babu Bharata, a student of the late Indian mystic yoga Ramacharak (1799 - c.1893). As the story goes, Bharata became acquainted with Atkinson's writings after arriving in the two men shared similar ideas, so they decided to collaborate. While editing New Thought magazine, Atkinson allegedly wrote with Bharata a series of books that they attributed to Bharata's teacher, Ramacharake's yoga. This story cannot be verified and like the official biography that falsely claimed Atkinson was an English author - this could be fiction. There is no record of Ramacharak yoga in India, nor is there any evidence of Baba Bharata's immigration in America. Also, while Atkinson may have traveled to Chicago to attend the 1892 - 1893 World Columbia Exhibition, where authentic Indian yogi Swami Vivekananda attracted enthusiastic audiences, he only was known to have settled in Chicago around 1900 and passed the Illinois Bar Exam in 1903. Atkinson's claim that he had an Indian collaborator was not really unusual among the writers of New Thought and the New Century of his era. As Karl T. Jackson made clear in his 1975 article The Movement for a New Thought and The Discovery of Eastern Philosophy of the nineteenth century, Atkinson was not alone in accepting vaguely exotic orientalism as a running topic in his writing, nor in lending to Hindus, Buddhists or Sikhs with special knowledge and secret methods of clairvoyance, spiritual development, and sexual development. The path was paved in the mid-to-late 19th century by Easter Beverly Randolph, who wrote in his books Eulis and Seership that he taught the mysteries of the mirror scrying of the deposed Indian Maharaja Dalip Singh. 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, was a foreign princess), but he actually spoke the truth, or something very close to him, according to his biographer John Patrick Deveny, when he said he met Maharaja in Europe and learned from him as a gem.
