Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World

If anyone has not read this gem of a book, just because it's a century old, you're missing out on a really good thing. I actually ordered the softcover from Amazon, because I had to have it a more portable easier to read format. Wasn't satisfied with just having the online text that is available easily through a search on the web by using his name and title.

He clarifies really nicely, the concepts of how to never resist the negative, opposing thoughts that come into your mind, and how to just simply focus on what you want. It's amazing, how in 1906, he puts things so well in line with what I had already been reading in more current works.

Also the area of deservingness is very well explained, in a humorous but home-hitting way.

I think the most important concept he covers is his emphasis on how important it is to keep your energy on just one objective, and to never waver in your attention to it, and he uses the analogy of a lover flirting with others instead of his/her mate. Flirting with other potential goals, i.e. indecision, leaves your main goal to respond in kind by taking a step backwards.
( recommend Message of a Master by John McDonald for an 80-page reminder of the importance of one-pointedness, here's the link: [[ASIN:0931432952 The Message of a Master]] )

Atkinson's quote on worry: "You do not need to fight Worry - that isn't the way to overcome the habit. Just practice concentration, and then learn to concentrate upon something right before you, and you will find the worry thought has vanished. The mind can think of but one thing at a time, and if you concentrate upon a bright thing, the other thing will fade away. There are better ways of overcoming objectionable thoughts than by fighting them. Learn to concentrate upon thoughts of an opposite character, and you will have solved the problem."
