Thought Vibration, or The Law of Attraction in the Thought World (1908) is a collection of lessons that originally appeared in the magazine New Thought. Re-sequenced, re-titled, and edited for continuity, the chapters retain what editor Franklin Berry called “his simple, straightforward, and at times even colloquial language… written as a keen, live, human man talks, and written about the difficulties, the problems, the possibilities of the average citizen of the world.”

An excerpt from the first chapter distills the essence of its message.

“When we think we send out vibrations of a fine ethereal substance, which are as real as the vibrations manifesting light, heat, electricity, magnetism. That these vibrations are not evident to our five senses is no proof that they do not exist. A powerful magnet will send out vibrations and exert a force sufficient to attract to itself a piece of steel weighing a hundred pounds, but we can neither see, taste, smell, hear nor feel the mighty force. These thought vibrations, likewise, cannot be seen, tasted, smelled, heard nor felt in the ordinary way; although it is true there are on record cases of persons peculiarly sensitive to psychic impressions who have perceived powerful thought-waves, and very many of us can testify that we have distinctly felt the thought vibrations of others, both whilst in the presence of the sender and at a distance. Telepathy and its kindred phenomena are not idle dreams.”
