"Reincarnation and the Law of Karma" is a comprehensive study of reincarnation, the doctrine of rebirth, and the concept of karma as spiritual cause and effect. Presented in a straightforward manner in plain language, the text guides the reader through a study of the philosophy of reincarnation and karma and the application of these doctrines in the life of the individual. Generations of students have found the study of this text and the practice of its teachings to be a valuable step in the attainment of wisdom, and awareness. William Walker Atkinson (1862-1932) was an incredibly prolific American writer who published extensively in areas of yoga, the occult, eastern mysticism, personal development, and related subjects. A successful businessman and attorney, Atkinson suffered what may have been a nervous breakdown in the late 1880's and, in the course of his recovery, became immersed in the "new thought" movement, eastern mysticism, and yoga. Atkinson was a serious and devoted student of Hindu philosophy and yoga, and was a major force in introducing these concepts to the United States. His writings are still widely read and well-respected, and his "Advanced Course in Yoga Philosophy and Oriental Occultism" is considered an excellent basic text for the western layman.
