The Arcane Formulas

William Walker Atkinson is perhaps one of the most mysterious writers ever to live. He wrote hundreds of books under several different names, transmitting knowledge that was so deep -and so secret-, that you can't help but asking, "who was this man?". Even his 'death' is mysterious, as his death certificate is signed by a doctor that has his exact handwriting... The Arcane Formulas is volume two of "The Arcane Teachings" (which many Arcane traditions connect with Atlantis, via an Egyptian line of transmission). This volume is the practical one, and it contains a series of exercises to achieve illumination by establishing and controlling the Ego, mastering the opposites, neutralizing rhythm and others. The ten lessons offered are: Lesson I Egohood. Lesson II Establishing the Ego I. Lesson III Establishing the Ego II. Lesson IV. Establishing the Ego III. Lesson V Will-Focalization Lesson VI The Excluded Middle. Lesson VII Mastering the Opposites. Lesson VIII Neutralizing Rhythm. Lesson IX Cyclicity and Balance. Lesson X Mentalism in a Nutshell.
