Join PEN Award-winning historian and widely known voice of esoteric ideas Mitch Horowitz for a special event that explores both the history and the practical philosophical dimensions of the radical idea that thoughts are causative.
Based on the title of Mitch’s new book—and the name of the pre-Theosophical society convened to study mysticism by Henry Steel Olcott—this talk and workshop survey the modern history, and ancient antecedents, of the widespread spiritual belief that our thoughts and mental images concretize into reality. Where did this notion come from? How does it comport with, and depart from, mystical tradition? And, finally, what among the vast catalogue of mind metaphysics ideas really work?
In his talk and workshop, Mitch considers these ideas with expert historicism and exploratory practicality. As always, Mitch presents with verve and seriousness--this is an opportunity not to be missed.
