Telepathy (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. The Theory, the Facts & the ProofBy William Walker Atkinson
Length3h 18m
About this audiobook
Telepathy presents William Walker Atkinson's systematic exploration of mind-to-mind communication, situating the phenomenon within the broader late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century fascination with psychical research, mesmerism, and occult psychology. Written in clear, didactic prose, the book combines practical instruction with theoretical speculation, treating thought-transference not as mere marvel but as a faculty governed by laws of mental vibration, concentration, receptivity, and will. Its style is characteristically pragmatic: metaphysical claims are framed as exercises, observations, and disciplined experiments for the attentive reader. Atkinson was a prolific American writer, lawyer, publisher, and central figure in the New Thought movement, whose works often sought to reconcile esoteric traditions with self-culture and psychological training. His interest in telepathy grew naturally from his larger concern with the powers of mind, suggestion, personal magnetism, and the development of latent human capacities. Writing under his own name and several pseudonyms, he helped popularize a practical occultism shaped by modernity's language of energy, science, and mental efficiency. This book is recommended to readers interested in the history of occult thought, early popular psychology, and New Thought literature. It rewards those who approach it both as a manual of mental discipline and as a revealing document of its intellectual era.
