Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism by Yogi Ramacharaka (William Walker Atkinson)

Description

Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism is a book by William Walker Atkinson, first published in 1919. This work is a comprehensive exploration of Eastern spiritual philosophies, particularly focusing on the teachings of yoga and the broader realm of Oriental occult traditions. Atkinson, a prolific writer on mysticism, yoga, and the New Thought movement, presents an in-depth study designed to guide serious students in understanding the subtle energies, mental disciplines, and spiritual practices that form the foundation of yogic philosophy. The book delves into advanced concepts such as pranayama (breath control), chakras, astral projection, and the interplay between mind and spirit, offering practical insights alongside philosophical reflections. It played a significant role in introducing Western readers to Eastern esoteric ideas during the early 20th century, influencing the growing interest in yoga and mysticism beyond its traditional cultural boundaries. As part of Atkinson’s broader body of work, this book reflects a bridging of Eastern occult knowledge with Western metaphysical thought, appealing to seekers of deeper spiritual understanding and personal transformation.
