FAITH POWER: The Secret Law of Attraction and the Power to Manifest Your Desires – William Walker Atkinson (1922).
What if faith is far more than simply believing in something you cannot see?What if faith is a mental and spiritual force capable of transforming your thoughts, strengthening your mind, influencing your actions, awakening your inner potential, and changing the direction of your life?
In Faith Power: Your Inspirational Forces, first published in 1922, William Walker Atkinson explores faith not merely as a religious concept, but as a powerful force within the human mind. Atkinson, one of the most influential writers of the New Thought movement, examines the relationship between belief, expectation, subconscious thought, enthusiasm, self-confidence, mental power, and the greater universal intelligence.For listeners of The Secret Law of Attraction Podcast, this remarkable work offers an important perspective on one of the fundamental principles behind attraction and personal transformation: what you deeply believe influences what you expect, how you think, how you act, and ultimately the reality you create around yourself.Faith, in Atkinson’s philosophy, is not passive. It is active. It is creative. It gives direction to the mind and provides the inner certainty required to pursue an objective even before external evidence confirms that success is possible.This full audiobook explores ten powerful chapters examining the many dimensions of faith and its relationship to the human mind.
1. THE POWER OF FAITH
Atkinson begins by examining faith as a universal human force. He moves beyond narrow definitions of religious belief and presents faith as an inner power capable of producing courage, persistence, confidence, and purposeful action.People accomplish extraordinary things because they first believe that those things are possible. Faith enables the individual to continue when circumstances appear unfavorable and to maintain a vision even when the desired result has not yet appeared.From a Law of Attraction perspective, this idea is fundamental. Before something becomes visible in the outer world, it often exists first as an idea, expectation, or mental image.Atkinson encourages the cultivation of conscious faith—the deliberate development of confidence in oneself, one's goals, and the possibilities of life.
2. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FAITH
In this chapter, Atkinson explores the psychological mechanisms behind faith.How does belief affect the mind? How can an idea become powerful enough to influence behavior? And how do deeply held convictions affect the subconscious?Atkinson connects faith with mental conditioning and the subconscious mind. A belief repeatedly accepted by the mind can influence perception, emotional responses, decisions, habits, and actions.This provides a fascinating connection with later discussions of subconscious reprogramming and manifestation. The conscious mind establishes intentions, while deeply impressed beliefs can influence the patterns through which those intentions are pursued.Faith therefore becomes more than an abstract idea. It becomes a psychological force.
3. EXPECTANT ATTENTION
One of Atkinson's most fascinating concepts is expectant attention.Instead of merely wishing for something, the individual learns to direct attention toward a desired result with confidence and anticipation.There is an important distinction between vague hope and focused expectation. Hope says, “Perhaps this will happen.” Expectation says, “I am preparing myself for this possibility.”Atkinson shows how concentrated attention can influence the mind and behavior. When attention is repeatedly directed toward an objective, the mind begins to notice opportunities, possibilities, resources, and actions that might previously have been overlooked.For Law of Attraction practitioners, expectant attention provides a practical framework for combining visualization, concentration, emotional conviction, and purposeful action.
4. THE SECRET OF “FAITH-CURES”
Atkinson next examines the controversial phenomenon of faith-based healing and the relationship between belief and physical and psychological well-being.Rather than treating faith simply as supernatural intervention, he investigates the role of mental states and expectation in influencing the individual.The chapter reflects the period in which it was written and contains ideas about healing that should be understood in their historical context rather than as a substitute for modern medical care.Nevertheless, Atkinson's central psychological question remains fascinating: How strongly can the mind influence the way we experience ourselves and the world around us?The chapter explores the relationship between belief, expectation, confidence, and the individual's perception of health and vitality.
5. FAITH AND THE SUBCONSCIOUS
Here Atkinson returns to one of the central themes of New Thought: the tremendous influence of the subconscious mind.Ideas repeatedly impressed upon the subconscious can become powerful mental patterns. These patterns may influence habits, emotional reactions, confidence, motivation, and behavior.Atkinson emphasizes the importance of feeding the mind with constructive thoughts rather than constantly reinforcing fear, doubt, limitation, and failure.Visualization and affirmation become particularly relevant here. By repeatedly holding a desired mental picture and strengthening it with emotional conviction, the individual attempts to establish a new mental pattern.The deeper lesson is consistency: transformation requires more than occasional positive thinking. It requires persistent direction of thought.
6. FAITH AND ENTHUSIASM
Faith becomes especially powerful when combined with enthusiasm.Atkinson presents enthusiasm as emotional energy that gives life and movement to an idea. A person may intellectually believe in a goal, but enthusiasm provides the emotional force necessary to pursue it with persistence.Enthusiasm can transform an ordinary intention into a compelling purpose.This chapter is especially relevant to anyone pursuing ambitious goals. Maintaining enthusiasm during difficult periods can prevent temporary setbacks from becoming permanent conclusions.From a Law of Attraction perspective, enthusiasm also represents the emotional component of focused thought. Instead of merely imagining a desired future intellectually, the individual attempts to emotionally connect with the possibility of achieving it.
7. FAITH AND MENTAL POWER
Faith and mental power reinforce one another.Atkinson explores the ability of faith to strengthen concentration, determination, resilience, and mental discipline. When a person genuinely believes that an objective is possible, obstacles can be interpreted differently.Instead of seeing difficulty as proof of impossibility, the faithful mind can see difficulty as a challenge to overcome.This chapter encourages the development of mental strength through constructive self-talk, concentration, confidence, and persistent attention.For anyone interested in success, personal development, or the Law of Attraction, the message is powerful: the strength of your mind affects the strength of your response to circumstances.
8. THE ATTRACTIVE POWER OF FAITH
This chapter brings Atkinson's philosophy particularly close to the modern language of the Law of Attraction.Faith is presented as an attractive force—a quality capable of influencing the circumstances, opportunities, relationships, and experiences surrounding an individual.The fundamental principle is that a person who thinks, expects, and acts from confidence behaves differently from someone dominated by fear and doubt.Confidence changes behavior. Behavior changes results. Results can create new opportunities.Atkinson's language of attraction therefore provides a fascinating early New Thought perspective on ideas that would later become central to modern manifestation culture.Visualization, affirmation, concentration, expectation, and emotional conviction all become tools for directing the mind toward a chosen outcome.
9. FAITH IN YOURSELF
Perhaps the most immediately practical form of faith is faith in yourself.Without self-belief, even a brilliant idea can remain unused. Fear of failure can prevent action before failure ever has a chance to occur.Atkinson emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's own capabilities and developing confidence in one's capacity to learn, grow, adapt, and succeed.Self-belief does not mean believing that every goal will automatically be achieved without effort. Instead, it means refusing to surrender your potential simply because circumstances are difficult.This chapter is an invitation to replace self-doubt with constructive confidence and to begin acting from the assumption that growth and achievement are possible.
10. FAITH IN THE INFINITE
In the final chapter, Atkinson expands the concept of faith beyond the individual.Faith in oneself becomes connected with faith in something greater—the Infinite, Universal Intelligence, God, or whatever higher principle the individual recognizes.This perspective gives personal ambition a spiritual dimension.The individual is no longer seen as isolated, but as part of a greater reality filled with possibilities, intelligence, and potential.Atkinson encourages the reader to cultivate an inner connection with this greater source of strength and inspiration.For listeners interested in the spiritual side of the Law of Attraction, this final chapter provides a fitting conclusion: the journey begins with the individual mind, but ultimately points toward a larger conception of life and universal possibility.
