VRIL or VITAL MAGNETISM or THE SECRET DOCTRINE OF ANCIENT ATLANTIS, EGYPT, CHALDEA, AND GREECE -- William Walker Atkinson -- 1911

Vril or Vital Magnetism: Secret Doctrine of Ancient Atlantis, Egypt, Chaldea, and Greece is a book by William Walker Atkinson that discusses Vril, a life force that ancient cultures used and that is still present in the human body today. The book claims that Vril is connected to the mind and can be collected and used in constructive ways. It also provides information on how to work with Vril to one's greatest benefit. Vril is another name for the life energy of the body, known in other cultures worldwide as mana, prana, chi, or vital force. Most of the ancient cultures of the world were aware of this important force and worked to make use of it. In today's world, especially in the West, we move along through life completely oblivious to this truly vital force. Although this force cannot be seen, it is the life force within our bodies. It takes energy from food and provides muscles with energy, which in turn allows us to move about in daily life as well as grow and metabolize. Nourishme
