Fun fact
Horowitz delivers a compelling revisionist history that elevates New Thought from fringe self-help to serious esoteric tradition. The research is impeccable, and the practical applications are surprisingly robust for a historical survey. However, skeptics seeking purely scientific proof may find the metaphysical premises too speculative. It sits comfortably as a bridge between academic occult studies and practical grimoire work, essential for anyone serious about the mechanics of manifestation.

📝 Description: The Miracle Club: How Thoughts Become Reality

A guide to creating miracles in your own life through the power of thought - 2019 Coalition of Visionary Resources Gold Award - Offers a concise, clear formula of focused exercises and concrete tools to lay out a specific path to manifest your deepest desires - Presents the first serious reconsideration of New Thought philosophy since the death of William James in 1910 - Draws on the work of New Thought pioneers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, Neville Goddard, William James, Andrew Jackson Davis, Wallace D. Wattles, and many others Following in the footsteps of a little-known group of esoteric seekers from the late-nineteenth century who called themselves "the Miracle Club," Mitch Horowitz shows that the spiritual "wish fulfillment" practices known as the Law of Attraction, Positive Thinking, "the Secret," and the Science of Getting Rich actually work. Weaving these ideas together into a concise, clear formula, with real-life examples of success, he reveals how your thoughts can impact reality and make things happen. In this "manual for miracles," Horowitz explains how we each possess a creative agency to determine and reshape our lives. He shows how thinking in a directed, highly focused, and emotively charged manner expands our capacity to perceive and transform events and allows us to surpass ordinary boundaries of time and physical space. Building on Neville Goddard's view that the human imagination is God the Creator and Ralph Waldo Emerson's techniques for attaining personal power, he explores the highest uses of mind-power metaphysics and explains what works and what doesn't, illuminating why and how events bend to our thoughts. He encourages readers to experiment and find themselves "at the helm of infinite possibilities." Laying out a specific path to manifest your deepest desires, from wealth and love to happiness and security, Horowitz provides focused exercises and concrete tools for change and looks at ways to get more out of prayer, affirmation, and visualization. He also provides the first serious reconsideration of New Thought philosophy since the death of William James in 1910. He includes crucial insights and effective methods from the movement's leaders such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, Neville Goddard, William James, Andrew Jackson Davis, Wallace D. Wattles, and many others. Defining a miracle as "circumstances or events that surpass all conventional or natural expectation," the author invites you to join him in pursuing miracles and achieve power over your own life.

Occult literature desk
This text offers a compelling resurrection of historical rituals, providing a structured approach to mental creation that feels both fresh and grounded in tradition. However, it may not suit readers who prefer purely theoretical metaphysics or those uncomfortable with the idea of thought possessing tangible, causal power over reality. Skeptics of the Law of Attraction might find its claims too definitive, while those seeking immediate, magical results without disciplined practice will likely feel disappointed. It demands a willingness to engage with concrete exercises rather than passive reading, making it less accessible for casual browsers but highly rewarding for dedicated practitioners.

This has been on my wishlist for months. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Shipping was quick too.

A treasure

Needed this for my research. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Definitely recommend.
