Genuine Mediumship; or, The Invisible Powers

by William Walker Atkinson

  • First published: Date unknown
  • Language: English

"Genuine Mediumship; or, The Invisible Powers" by Swami Bhakta Vishita is a spiritual and philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the concepts of mediumship and psychic phenomena, challenging traditional notions of the supernatural by presenting them instead as natural manifestations of higher human capabilities. It aims to illuminate the interconnectedness of mind, vibrations, and the unseen worlds of existence, while promoting a rational understanding of these occult practices. The opening of the book introduces the concept of "supernormal" powers, as opposed to "supernatural," emphasizing that all experiences tied to psychic phenomena are firmly rooted within the natural laws of the universe. The author argues that human perception is limited to certain vibratory motions, yet posits that by expanding our understanding and developing our latent faculties, we can access higher planes of existence and unlock our full potential. Through this lens, the text sets the stage for a deeper inquiry into telepathy, clairvoyance, and other forms of mediumship, supported by both ancient teachings and modern scientific perspectives.
