The Key to Mental and Physical Power — L.H. Anderson — 1897

Philosophy of Occultism; or, The Key to Mental and Physical Power (1897) brings together L. H. Anderson’s teachings on mind-body influence, personal magnetism, concentration, vitality, hypnotism, self-control, and practical occult philosophy.

Compiled and arranged by Anderson, the book treats mental and physical power as related expressions of the same underlying life. It encourages the reader to replace fear and doubt with disciplined thought, constructive habit, rest, physical culture, and deliberate training of the will.

This Holographic Pagan Press edition was prepared from the period text as a handmade large-format archival facsimile.
