Reincarnation and The Law Of Karma

"The growing soul must realize that it has within itself all that it requires." -W. W. ATKINSON



William Walker Atkinson was an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. In this work, he makes us discover the phenomena of reincarnation and metempsychosis in all their dimensions (historical, religious, scientific...). By revealing to us the transmigration of souls, he makes us aware that we are not just simple humans passing through this world. Thus by offering us the knowledge of our physical, astral and spiritual evolution, he gives us the possibility to understand the true meaning of our presence here on earth.
