Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga Ramacharaka

Followers of the early-20th-century "New Age" philosophy of New Thought believed they could learn the secrets of mind over matter, and one of their most influential teachers-enormously popular writer and editor William Walker Atkinson, writing pseudonymously here-revealed to them, in this 1906 work, the teachings of Raja Yoga. His lessons cover: . the ego's mental tools . the expansion of the self . mental control . the cultivation of attention . the cultivation of perception . subconscious character building . and much more.
