I wish to invite you to the consideration of a great principle of Nature — a great natural force that manifests its activities in the phenomena of Dynamic Mentation — a great Something the energies of which I have called "Mind-Power."

My thought on the subject is based upon the fundamental conception that: — There exists in Nature a Dynamic Mental Principle— a Mind-Power— pervading all space— immanent in all things— manifesting in an infinite variety of forms, degrees, and phases.

I hold that this energy, or force, or dynamic principle, is no respecter of persons. Its service, like that of the sun and rain, and all natural forces, is open to all — just and unjust; good and bad; high and low; rich and poor. It responds to the proper efforts, no matter by whom exerted, or for what purpose called into effect. But the proper effort must be exerted, consciously or unconsciously, else there will be no operation of the force. I believe that the activities of this dynamic mental principle are intimately correlated to manifestations of the mental operations known to us as desire, will, and imagination. We shall learn something of the laws and principles and modes of operation of its energies and activities, as we proceed with our consideration of it, in this work. It may be difficult for you to grasp this conception of Mind-Power at the start — but it will grow upon your understanding as its activities are presented to you, one by one, like a great panorama.
— William Walker Atkinson

"The universe is a great organism, controlled by a dynamism
of the psychical order. Mind gleams through its every atom....
There is mind in everything, not only in human and animal life,
but in plants, in minerals, in space.
— Flammarion, the famous French astronomer and author
