At the turn of the 20th century New Thought proponents sought to use mysticism to unleash the forces of the universe in themselves. WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON was one of the most influential thinkers of this early “New Age” philosophy.

He promises in this book:
• To show you how to cultivate memory in such a way as to improve your entire life
• His method is not geared to mere recollection of facts
• To teach a holistically “correct seeing, thinking, and remembering
• His method trains the eye as well as the ear to improve your ability to recall names, faces, numbers, music, facts, and much more
• To show how important the function of the mind is that has to do with the retention of mental impressions
• Why the recall of faces, names, facts, events, and circumstances is the measure of one’s ability to accomplish anything “In the higher activities of thought, the memory comes as an invaluable aid to the individual in marshalling the bits of knowledge he may have acquired and passing them in review before his cognitive faculties—thus does the soul review its mental possessions. ” —William Walker Atkinson
