What might lie beyond ordinary sight—and how does an occult teacher ask students to look for it?

In Clairvoyance and Occult Powers, William Walker Atkinson introduces a world of claimed perception beyond the ordinary senses. This short instructional work explores what occult teaching calls clairvoyance: seeing or sensing without the eyes, ears, or other familiar means. Plain lessons give readers a vocabulary for approaching these unusual ideas.

The book distinguishes distant sight, sensing another person's thoughts, and reading impressions left on objects. It presents concentration, steady attention, and calm as ways to develop the abilities it describes. Alongside that promise comes a warning: interest in psychic powers can lead toward misuse, fantasy, and false belief.
