ONE WAY OR ANOTHER


Book Description

The Value of the right WORDS & words of the right values. Your first step might well be to READ all of the author’s books as they form the backbone of wisdom. It is open to debate, as we are all different, and if you need to adapt certain meanings/inputs (from those writings), that’s fine. Get into the spirit of things, adapt to change and a calm mindset in your own style and manner. Never push things as YOU are the example others should see the need to follow – YOU should seek to become an EXEMPLAR and should act in that manner!

Book Description

The Complete Collection by William Walker Atkinson, under the pen name Yogi Ramacharaka, offers a comprehensive exploration of mystical Christianity, yogi philosophy, and Oriental occultism. Through a series of works such as 'The Spirit of the Upanishads,' 'Bhagavad Gita,' and 'Raja Yoga,' Atkinson delves deep into the spiritual practices and beliefs of the East, weaving together a tapestry of wisdom for readers seeking enlightenment. His writing style is clear, concise, and profound, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to a wider audience. Atkinson's work stands out in the literary context of the early 20th century, where Western interest in Eastern spirituality was on the rise, influencing thinkers and artists alike. William Walker Atkinson, a prolific writer and influential figure in the New Thought movement, combined his legal background with a deep interest in metaphysics and spirituality. His dedication to synthesizing Eastern and Western philosophies led him to adopt the pen name Yogi Ramacharaka, under which he penned numerous books on esoteric subjects. Atkinson's unique perspective and thorough research make his writings a valuable resource for those exploring spiritual practices and mystical traditions. I highly recommend 'YOGY RAMACHARAKA - Complete Collection' to readers interested in delving into the depths of mysticism, yoga, and occultism. Atkinson's timeless wisdom and insightful interpretations offer a profound journey into the realms of spiritual enlightenment, making this collection a must-read for those seeking inner transformation and higher knowledge.
