Minties magnetizmas ir traukos dėsnis
Mes nuolat spinduliuojame į aplinką silpnesnes ar stipresnes mintis ir paskui renkame savo mentalinio veiksmo vaisius. Tuos vaisius mums sukuria minčių traukos jėga. Mūsų mintys pritraukia kitų žmonių mintis ir pačius žmones, formuoja įvairias situacijas, sukuria palankias ar nepalankias aplinkybes, padeda siekti sėkmės ar įstumia į nesėkmę. Viskas priklauso nuo dominuojančių minčių.
- William W. Atkinson
Šios knygos autorius Viljamas Atkinsonas (Wiliam Walker Atkinson) vienas pirmųjų Vakarų pasaulyje ėmė kalbėti, kad žmogus, pasitelkęs minties traukos jėgą, gali pats kurti savo tikrovę. Drauge su garsiais savo laiko rašytojais, filosofais ir intelektualais jis organizavo „Naujosios minties“ judėjimą.
Sujungę Rytų filosofiją su krikščionybės doktrinomis, jie sukūrė savitą saviugdos sistemą ir išpopuliarino idėją, kad tikrojo dvasingumo tikslas yra padėti žmogui spręsti realias kasdie-nybės problemas. Būtent „Naujosios minties“ judėjimas pasiūlė vizualizacijos, afirmacijos, minčių energijos kaupimo bei kitas technikas, kurios pripažįstamos bei reikalingos žmonėms ir mūsų dienomis. Viljamas Atkinsonas yra daugiau kaip šimto knygų autorius.

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is also known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont, Swami Panchadasi and Yogi Ramacharaka and others.
Due in part to Atkinson's intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications—and having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900.
William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862, to William and Emma Atkinson. He began his working life as a grocer at 15 years old, probably helping his father. He married Margret Foster Black of Beverly, New Jersey, in October 1889, and they had two children. The first probably died young. The second later married and had two daughters.
Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the late 1880s he found it with New Thought, later attributing the restoration of his health, mental vigor and material prosperity to the application of the principles of New Thought.
Some time after his healing, Atkinson began to write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered, which were then known as Mental Science. In 1889, an article by him entitled "A Mental Science Catechism," appeared in Charles Fillmore's new periodical, Modern Thought.
By the early 1890s Chicago had become a major centre for New Thought, mainly through the work of Emma Curtis Hopkins, and Atkinson decided to move there. Once in the city, he became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author. He was responsible for publishing the magazines Suggestion (1900–1901), New Thought (1901–1905) and Advanced Thought (1906–1916).
In 1900 Atkinson worked as an associate editor of Suggestion, a New Thought Journal, and wrote his probable first book, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life, being a series of lessons in personal magnetism, psychic influence, thought-force, concentration, will-power, and practical mental science.
He then met Sydney Flower, a well-known New Thought publisher and businessman, and teamed up with him. In December, 1901 he assumed editorship of Flower's popular New Thought magazine, a post which he held until 1905. During these years he built for himself an enduring place in the hearts of its readers. Article after article flowed from his pen. Meanwhile he also founded his own Psychic Club and the so-called "Atkinson School of Mental Science". Both were located in the same building as Flower's Psychic Research and New Thought Publishing Company.
Atkinson was a past president of the International New Thought Alliance.
Throughout his subsequent career, Atkinson wrote and published under his own name and many pseudonyms. It is not known whether he ever acknowledged authorship of these pseudonymous works, but all of the supposedly independent authors whose writings are now credited to Atkinson were linked to one another by virtue of the fact that their works were released by a series of publishing houses with shared addresses and they also wrote for a series of magazines with a shared roster of authors.

William Walker Atkinsono „Minties magnetizmas ir traukos dėsnis“ — tai knyga apie minties galią, vidinę būseną, troškimą, baimę ir valią. Pagrindinė jos mintis: žmogaus mintys nėra neutralios — jos formuoja nusiteikimą, veiksmus, sprendimus ir gyvenimo kryptį.
Kelios įstrigusios idėjos:
1. Mintys kuria kryptį.
Jei žmogus nuolat galvoja apie baimę, nesėkmę ar kliūtis, jis pradeda gyventi iš tos būsenos. Jei mintis nukreipta į tikslą, pasitikėjimą ir veiksmą, keičiasi ir žmogaus elgesys.
2. Baimė yra troškimas su minuso ženklu.
Labai stipri mintis. Baimė taip pat yra stipri vidinė energija, tik nukreipta į tai, ko nenorime. Todėl knyga kviečia sąmoningai keisti minties kryptį — nuo baimės prie aiškaus troškimo.
3. Valia auga iš stipraus troškimo.
Atkinsonas pabrėžia, kad žmogaus valia stiprėja tada, kai jis tikrai žino, ko nori. Neužtenka abstrakčiai „norėti geriau gyventi“ — reikia aiškaus vidinio tikslo.
4. Vien minties neužtenka — reikia veikimo.
Man patiko, kad knyga nėra tik apie pasyvų svajojimą. Mintis turi virsti veiksmu. Frazė „Aš galiu ir padarysiu“ čia skamba kaip sprendimas veikti, o ne tik graži afirmacija.
5. Įgyvendintas troškimas stiprina žmogų.
Mintis „Atidėta viltis susargdina širdį, o įgyvendintas troškimas yra gyvybės medis“ labai gerai atspindi knygos esmę: žmogui reikia ne tik vilties, bet ir gyvo, veikiančio troškimo.
Man ši knyga pasirodė kaip priminimas, kad mintys formuoja būseną, būsena formuoja veiksmus, o veiksmai — gyvenimo kryptį. Tai nėra tiesiog naivus pažadas, kad „viską pritrauksime mintimis“, bet kvietimas sąmoningiau rinktis, į ką nukreipiame savo dėmesį.
