| William Walker Atkinson
(December 5, 1862 - November 22, 1932) was a very important
and influential American figure in the early days of the
New Thought Movement. He was an attorney, merchant, publisher,
and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer
of New Thought, which is in fact the title of a magazine
he edited at one time. He is also known to have been the
author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q.
Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.
Atkinson's 1906 book "Thought
Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World",
is associated with the thinking behind the recent phenomena
surrounding the 2006 movie, The Secret.
Due in part to his 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.
