			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, we hear so much about the law of attraction, and how it can change your life. Books, websites and people teach it, some of them promising quick and easy success and wealth.</p>
<p>The law of attraction works in the lives of people, as it works in nature, and I have written a book about how to use it. Though this law works and brings results, you need to know a few things about it and how to use correctly, and you have also to devote time and effort to make it manifest in your life.</p>
<p>Attaining success requires persistence, willpower, self-discipline, strong ambition, a definite plan and certain other skills. It does not happen overnight as some promise. Of course there are certain goals that are within immediate reach, and can therefore be accomplished quite fast. This is because you are already ready for them, and all you need is some small effort to bring them about, but if you desire something that is way above your present reach, you can still get it, but even if you use the law of attraction you will need to invest time and effort to manifest it.</p>
<p>There is a vast difference between manifesting a car, when you already have most of the money to pay for it, and manifesting a successful business with many employees, when you have no money in the bank.</p>
<p><span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p>The law of attraction is not a get rich quickly method, which requires nothing from you, except thinking about wealth a few minutes a day. Though miraculous things do happen sometimes, more often, this law manifests in a most natural way. It can attract you opportunities and open doors for you, but it is up to you to recognize these opportunities and utilize them. If you wish to be successful, you cannot stay passive and wait for things to drop into your lap.</p>
<p>Just look at successful people. They do things. They don&#8217;t wait passively for things to happen. They act. They too use the law of attraction, though not all of them are aware of this fact. In order to succeed you need to follow their example.<br />
 <br />
It is more reasonable to learn to use the law of attraction for small insignificant goals first, and only later, attempt to achieve greater goals.</p>
<p>The law of attraction isn&#8217;t something new. It has always been known and used and has been called by many names, the law of opulence, the power of attraction, mind power and creative visualization.</p>
<p>The law of attraction often attracts criticism from two groups of people, those who know nothing about it, and tend to criticize everything that common reason does not accept, and from people who did not how to use it correctly, and consequently got no results.</p>
<p>Just knowing about this law is not enough. The first step is to know exactly what you want and be sure about it, and then follow certain rules and instructions. There are many books on this subject, which you can read; some speak on this subject in a general way, while others offer working advice and instructions. Like any other subject, partial or vague knowledge is not enough, because this might lead to failure in using it, and then to disappointment, frustration and lack of belief.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Theron Q. Dumont is one of the pseudonyms <a href="http://www.successconsciousness.com/blog/writers-on-mind-power/william-walker-atkinson/">William Walker Atkinson</a> used in several of his books on self improvement, the development of will power, self-confidence and personal magnetism. Under this name, <strong>Theron Q. Dumont</strong>, he has written the following books:</p>
<p># The Advanced Course in Personal Magnetism<br />
# The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism Master<br />
# Mind or The Key To Mental Power Development And Efficiency<br />
# Mental Therapeutics<br />
# The Power of Concentration<br />
# Practical Memory Training<br />
# The Psychology of Personal Magnetism<br />
# The Solar Plexus or Abdominal Brain<br />
# Successful Salesmanship</p>
<p><span id="more-21"></span></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know until lately that Theron Q. Dumont was one of the pseudonyms of William Walker Atkinson. It has always seemed strange to me that their books covered the same  subjects, were written in the same style and at more or less the same time, and they were  published by the same publishing house. This led me more than once to think that maybe  Theron Q. Dumont and William Walker Atkinson were the same person, or at least they knew  each other.</p>
<p>Actually, it is not important whether they were the same person or two different people. The fact is that the books, whether written under the name of Theron Q. Dumont or William  Walker Atkinson, were written in simple and easy to understand language, and are full of  practical information. They are true treasures for anyone interested in mind power, self  improvement and success. No wonder that these books, which were written almost a century  ago, are still popular among people interested in the subjects they cover.</p>
<p>Theron Q. Dumont or William Walker Atkinson books can be found in bookstores or on the Internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>William Walker Atkinson was a prolific writer, who is well known for his books on the power of the mind and using it to achieve success. Though his books were written in the early years of the twentieth century, they are still popular up to this day.</p>
<p>William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on December 5 1862 and passed away on November 22 1932. He was an influential figure in the early days of the New Thought Movement, and for a certain period of time edited a magazine by this name. He was an attorney, publisher, author and occultist. In some of his books he used his name as the author, and in others he used pseudonyms, such as Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.</p>
<p>I have become acquainted with the books of William Walker Atkinson many years ago, and have learned a great deal from them. I like his books for their practical approach, clear instructions and for their inspiration and motivation. His language is simple, well understood and to the point. I have read his books many times, each time new truths were revealed, which were not perceived in the previous reading.</p>
<p><span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p>William Walker Atkinson wrote the books, “The secret of mental magic”, “Mind power”, “Practical mental influence and mental fascination” and many more. These books are actually textbooks, teaching how to use the law of attraction and other mental laws to your advantage.</p>
<h5>William Walker Atkinson books: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.successconsciousness.com/ald/williamatkinson.html">William Walker Atkinson books</a></h5>
<p>Here is an excerpt about visualization from his book, &#8220;The secret of mental magic&#8221;:</p>
<p>“Build up a mental matrix or mould, little by little, until you have it before you clearly – then you pour into it the mentative energy of desire and will, until it stands out clearly formed as a mental image, just as you would see it, if it were actually materialized. Then you must hold this mental image before you constantly, regarding it not as a mere imagination, but as a something real which you have created in your mind, and which will proceed to surround itself with the material necessary to give it material objectivity or materialization”.</p>
<p>William Walker Atkinson has also written several books about Yoga and Hinduism. In these books he has used the pseudonym, Yogi Ramacharaka. Among the books he wrote under the name Yogi Ramacharaka are, “The philosophies and religions of India”, “Raja Yoga”, “Gnani Yoga”, “Fourteen lessons in Yogi philosophy and Oriental Occultism” and “Advanced course in Yogi philosophy and Oriental Occultism”. You can find these books <a target="_blank" href="http://www.successconsciousness.com/ald/yogi_ramacharaka.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>William Walker Atkinson published his books under his name, and also under several pseudonyms, such as <a href="http://www.successconsciousness.com/blog/writers-on-mind-power/theron-q-dumont-and-his-books/">Theron Q. Dumont</a>, Swami Panchadasi and Yogi Ramacharaka.</p>
