Warren Felt Evans, also known as "the recording angel of metaphysics" was one of the men who found healing in the New Thought movement and its founder Phineas P. He became an avid student of the New Thought and wrote many spiritual works. Warren Felt Evans — converted to Methodism while at Dartmouth College, became a minister, and spent his Methodist years as a spiritual seeker.
His two extant journals, edited and annotated by Catherine L. Albanese, appear in print for the first time and reveal the inner journey of a leading American spiritual pilgrim at a critical period in his religious search.
A voracious reader, he recorded accounts of intense religious experience in his journals. He moved from the Oberlin perfectionism he embraced early on, through the French quietism of Madame J.
His carefully documented journey is suggestive of the similar journeys of the religious seekers who made their way into the burgeoning metaphysical movement at the end of the 19th century—and may shed light too on today's spirituality. Warren Felt Evans was an American author famous for his writings related to the New Thought movement, a movement originating from 19th century United States based upon the ideas that God exists everywhere, sickness originates in the mind, and that thinking "correctly" has the ability to heal.

First published in , "Esoteric Christianity and Mental Therapeutics" is a fascinating treatise on the power of the mind to heal and connections to this idea found in Christianity and the Bible. And What is it to heal Disease in Ourselves or Others? Anya Foxen shows that some of what we call yoga, especially in North America and Europe, is genealogically only slightly related to pre-modern Indian yoga traditions. Rather, it is equally, if not more so, grounded in Hellenistic theories of the subtle body, Western esotericism and magic, pre-modern European medicine, and late-nineteenth-century women's wellness programs.
The book begins by examining concepts arising out of Greek philosophy and religion, including Pythagoreanism, Stoicism, Neo-Platonism, Galenic medicine, theurgy, and other cultural currents that have traditionally been categorized as "Western esotericism," as well as the more recent examples which scholars of American traditions have labeled "metaphysical religion. Orientalism and gender become important categories of analysis as this narrative moves into the nineteenth century.
Women considerably outnumber men in all studies of yoga except those conducted in India, and modern anglophone yoga exhibits important continuities with women's physical culture, feminist reform, and white women's engagement with Orientalism. Foxen's study allows us to recontextualize the peculiarities of American yoga--its focus on aesthetic representation, its privileging of bodily posture and unsystematic incorporation of breathwork, and above all its overwhelmingly white female demographic.
In this context it addresses the ongoing conversation about cultural appropriation within the yoga community. Is This Yoga? Concepts, Histories, and the Complexities of Contemporary Practice recognizes the importance of contemporary understandings of yoga and, at the same time, provides historical context and complexity to modern and pre-modern definitions of yogic ideas and practices.
Approaching yoga as a vast web of concepts, traditions, social interests, and embodied practices, it raises questions of knowledge, identity, and power across time and space, including the dynamics of "East" and "West. This accessible guide is essential reading for undergraduate students approaching the topic for the first time, as well as yoga teachers, teacher training programs, casual and devoted practitioners, and interested non-practitioners. He became an avid student of the New Thought and wrote many spiritual works.
This vintage book is highly recommended for those with an interest in the power of the mind and the New Thought movement in particular. He became a proponent of the movement during as a result of seeking healing from Phineas P. Quimby, the movement's founder.
