The Yoga of Wisdom & Understanding

More than 30 years ago I read a book that changed my way of thinking.  It was a tiny, little known book by Yogi Ramacharaka.  I read that book three times and then I outlined it.  I got the “idea” that if there are Laws that apply to our physical world,  then a Wise and all-powerful Creator would also make Laws which govern the unseen world.  Examples of Physical Laws or Newtonian Physics are: the Law of Gravity, Laws of Motion, Law of Thermodynamics.  These laws of the unseen or non-physical world are now known as Quantum Physics.

Recently these “Laws” of the unseen world have come into the Public Interest in the Western World.  We are now familiar with them through theories of Quantum Physics and Law of Attraction.  Some of us think of these as “New Ideas” but they are some of the oldest ideas on the planet.  Ancient Seers and Sages knew about these forces and laws.  The mystic and miraculous really are not that mysterious at all.

Yoga has 4 branches, and one of these four branches Gnani Yoga explains these these unseen forces and ideas.  Gnani Yoga is known as the Yoga of Wisdom and Understanding.  The book I read many years ago by Yogi Ramacharaka explained Gnani Yoga.  It was written in the very early 1900′s so the language was a little different than the way we speak today, making it somewhat difficult to understand.  The original book was both out of print and out of copyright.

Yogi Ramacharaka is  a pen name used by  William Walker Atkinson.  William Walker Atkinson might be thought of as a “New Thought Pioneer” in the early 1900′s.  He was a prolific writer and also wrote under another pen name,  Theron Q. Dumont.  He wrote about many topics that we would think of today as “The Law of Attraction”.  He wrote about the Power of Thought, Spirituality, and drawing into our reality our thoughts and intentions.

It is my suspicion, that Atkinson didn’t only have an interest in these topics, but that in his writing he acquired the ability to tap into the Quantum Field of Universal Consciousness.   In The Yoga of Wisdom and Understanding,  I have taken Yogi Ramacharaka’s original manuscript and updated it to make it more understandable in today’s language.  It is my hope that others will find this information as helpful and life changing as I did when I read the original writing 30 years ago.
