William Walker Atkinson book discussion

 It's been more than a hot minute since I started formatting the Power of Concentration, but I am now finally finished.  While I've corrected the places the pdf was not-quite-readable to my clipboard and Wordpad program, and a couple egregious spelling errors, I have not corrected all the sentence fragments or overuse of commas.  I made the remark to hubby, "After having written books for a good fifteen years, you'd think his writing would have improved with practice."  At least he wrote well enough to get the ideas across that he was trying to convey.

Well, mostly.  He hints in the introductory that not everything is explicitly laid out:I will take him on his word, and work from the assumption that perhaps words are not able to express something he is hoping to convey.

A minor irritation (yes, already) is in Lesson 2, where he mentions his previous book, The Master Mind, as beneficial to have already worked through.  I guess that will be my next book to format and skim through.  

Perhaps I should take a minute to describe how I intend to work through these: as I format them into Wordpad, I am skimming over them as an initial read-through, then after I print up a hardcopy, I read through more thoroughly with a brand-new red ink pen in hand to take notes of things that look promising for themes for meditation.  I hope to post weekly, or more if inspiration seizes me.

For those needing or wanting a bit of a pep talk and encouragement, there is quite a lot of that throughout the entire course.  One thing Atkinson was very good at is giving motivational pep talks.

Let the fun begin!
