About this ebook
William Walker Atkinson
William Walker Atkinson was a prolific writer, well known for his publications on the power of the mind. Though his books were written in the early years of the twentieth century, they are still popular up to this day. Atkinson was born in Baltimore on December 5, 1862 to William C. Atkinson and his wife Emma Lyal Mittnacht Atkinson. His father and grandfather were successful merchants, owning grocery stores; they were engaged in civic activities such as the school board, fire department, and Whig political party. As a teenager William Jr. worked as a clerk in the grocery. Atkinson studied law in Pennsylvania and passed the bar exam in 1894. He died on November 22, 1932 in Pasadena, California at age 69. Atkinson was an extremely prolific author, and editor of several magazines, including Suggestion, a New Thought Journal (1900-1901) and New Thought (1901-1905). As the editor of Advanced Thought magazine (1906-1916), he wrote articles under several names. One of them was "Swami Ramacharaka". As early as 1885, Atkinson corresponded with early Theosophical Society leaders Thomas Moore Johnson and Elliott B. Page. He became a member of the American Theosophical Society on January 28, 1903, while living in Chicago, according the records of the international Theosophical Society based in Adyar, Chennai, India.

THOUGHT VIBRATION

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Chapter 1
The Law of Attraction in the Thought World
THE Universe is governed by Law - one great Law. Its manifestations are mul-
tiform, but viewed from the Ultimate there is but one Law. We are familiar with
some of its manifestations, but are almost totally ignorant of certain others. Still
we are learning a little more every day - the veil is being gradually lifted.
We speak learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that equally wonderful
manifestation, THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IN THE THOUGHT WORLD. We
are familiar with that wonderful manifestation of Law which draws and holds to-
gether the atoms of which matter is composed - we recognize the power of the law
that attracts bodies to the earth, that holds the circling worlds in their places, but
we close our eyes to the mighty law that draws to us the things we desire
or fear, that makes or mars our lives.
When we come to see that Thought is a force - a manifestation of energy - having a
magnet-like power of attraction, we will begin to understand the why and where-
fore of many things that have heretofore seemed dark to us. There is no study that
will so well repay the student for his time and trouble as the study of the workings
of this mighty law of the world of Thought - the Law of Attraction.
When we think we send out vibrations of a fine ethereal substance, which are as
real as the vibrations manifesting light, heat, electricity, magnetism. That these
vibrations are not evident to our five senses is no proof that they do not exist. A
powerful magnet will send out vibrations and exert a force sufficient to attract to
itself a piece of steel weighing a hundred pounds, but we can neither see, taste,
smell, hear nor feel the mighty force. These thought vibrations, likewise, cannot
be seen, tasted, smelled, heard nor felt in the ordinary way; although it is true
there are on record cases of persons peculiarly sensitive to psychic impressions
who have perceived powerful thought-waves, and very many of us can testily that
we have distinctly felt the thought vibrations of others, both whilst in the pres-
ence of the sender and at a distance. Telepathy and its kindred phenomena are
not idle dreams.
Light and heat are manifested by vibrations of a far lower intensity than those of
Thought, but the difference is solely in the rate of vibration. The annals of science
throw an interesting light upon this question. Prof. Elisha Gray, an eminent sci-
entist, says in his little book, The Miracles of Nature
:
"There is much food for speculation in the thought that there exist sound-waves
that no human ear can hear, and color-waves of light that no eye can see. The
long, dark, soundless space between 40,000 and 400,000,000,000,000 vibra-
tions per second, and the infinity of range beyond 700,000,000,000,000 vibra-
tions per second, where light ceases, in the universe of motion, makes it possible
to indulge in speculation."
M. M. Williams, in his work entitled Short Chapters in Science,
says:
"There is no gradation between the most rapid undulations or tremblings that
produce our sensation of sound, and the slowest of those which give rise to our
sensations of gentlest warmth. There is a huge gap between them, wide enough
to include another world of motion, all lying between our world of sound and our
world of heat and light; and there is no good reason whatever for supposing that
matter is incapable of such intermediate activity, or that such activity may not
give rise to intermediate sensations, provided there are organs for taking up and
sensifying their movements."
I cite the above authorities merely to give you food for thought, not to attempt to
demonstrate to you the fact that thought vibrations exist. The last-named fact has
been fully established to the satisfaction of numerous investigators of the subject,
and a little reflection will show you that it coincides with your own experiences.
We often hear repeated the well-known Mental Science statement, "Thoughts are
Things," and we say these words over without consciously realizing just what is
the meaning of the statement. If we fully comprehended the truth of the state-
ment and the natural consequences of the truth back of it, we should understand
many things which have appeared dark to us, and would be able to use the won-
derful power, Thought Force, just as we use any other manifestation of Energy.
As I have said, when we think we set into motion vibrations of a very high de-
gree, but just as real as the vibrations of light, heat, sound, electricity.
And when we understand the laws governing the production and transmission
of these vibrations we will be able to use them in our daily life, just as we do the
better known forms of energy. That we cannot see, hear, weigh or measure these
vibrations is no proof that they do not exist. There exist waves of sound which no
human ear can hear, although some of these are undoubtedly registered by the
ear of some of the insects, and others are caught by delicate scientific instruments
invented by man; yet there is a great gap between the sounds registered by the
most delicate instrument and the limit which man’s mind, reasoning by analogy,
knows to be the boundary line between sound waves and some other forms of
vibration. And there are light waves which the eye of man does not register, some
of which may be detected by more delicate instruments, and many more so fine
that the instrument has not yet been invented which will detect them, although
improvements are being made every year and the unexplored field gradually less-
ened.
As new instruments are invented, new vibrations are registered by them - and
yet the vibrations were just as real before the invention of the instru-
ment as afterward. Supposing that we had no instruments to register magnet-
ism - one might be justified in denying the existence of that mighty force, because
it could not be tasted, felt, smelt, heard, seen, weighted or measured. And yet the
mighty magnet would still send out waves of force sufficient to draw to it pieces of
steel weighing hundreds of pounds.
Each form of vibration requires its own form of instrument for registration. At
present the human brain seems to be the only instrument capable of registering
thought waves, although occultists say that in this century scientists will invent
apparatus sufficiently delicate
