Does the soul survive death? Are we reborn again and again, and can we access the knowledge and the memories acquired in earlier lives? Followers of New Thought, the early-20th-century "New Age" philosophy, believed so, and here, in this 1908 book, William Walker Atkinson, one of the most influential New Thought voices, explores the concept of reincarnation throughout history, from the Egyptian idea of the soul through Plato's teachings on the subject and on to modern spiritual outlooks on eternal life. With arguments and proofs supporting the idea that the soul is a "traveler on a long journey," this is a fascinating look at a question that has haunted humanity since antiquity.American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont."

(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Does the soul survive death? Are we reborn again and again, and can we access the knowledge and the memories acquired in earlier lives? Followers of New Thought, the early-20th-century “New Age” philosophy, believed so, and here, in Reincarnation and the Law of Karma, William Walker Atkinson, one of the most influential New Thought voices, explores the concept of reincarnation throughout history, from the Egyptian idea of the soul through Plato's teachings on the subject and on to modern spiritual outlooks on eternal life. Originally published in 1908 , it remains a fascinating and insightful document on the theory of rebirth and the principles of spiritual cause and effect. With arguments and proofs supporting the idea that the soul is a “traveler on a long journey,” Atkinson covers ancient races, Egyptians, Jews, Romans, Hindus, the modern West, justification for reincarnation, proofs of reincarnation, arguments against reincarnation, and karma. This is a fascinating and immensely readable look at a question that has haunted humanity since antiquity.Cover photography by Paul Spremulli.

By "Reincarnation" we mean the repeated incarnation, or embodiment in flesh, of the soul or immaterial part of man's nature. The term "Metempsychosis" is frequently employed in the same sense, the definition of the latter term being: "The passage of the soul, as an immortal essence, at the death of the body, into another living body." The term "Transmigration of Souls" is sometimes employed, the term being used in the sense of "passing from one body into another." But the term "Transmigration" is often used in connection with the belief of certain undeveloped races who held that the soul of men sometimes passed into the bodies of the lower animals, as a punishment for their sins committed during the human life. But this[Pg 8] belief is held in disrepute by the adherents of Reincarnation or Metempsychosis, and has no connection with their philosophy or beliefs, the ideas having sprung from an entirely different source, and having nothing in common.

William Walker Atkinson's excellent explanations of karma and reincarnation in ancient religions, Hinduism and Buddhism introduce both beliefs comprehensively. Atkinson authored this guide with the aim of introducing Western audiences to two of the key tenets of ancient and Eastern faiths. He explains the origins of both karma and reincarnation as beliefs, and how the religious sentiment behind both were refined and evolved by generations of adherents over centuries and millennia. After the historical aspects of the two beliefs are covered, the author embarks on a variety of philosophical discussions concerning the application of karma and reincarnation. Notions such the afterlife, and how the concept of justice exists and is applied to individuals, are examined in depth. As an introductory guide, Reincarnation and the Law of Karma excels at teaching the reader about the various qualities by which karma and reincarnation are defined.
