Mentation was the journal of The Prosperos, the mid-twentieth-century American mystery school founded by Thane Walker to make 'spiritual truth an effective force.' Its pages fuse a New Thought core — the subconscious, abundance, 'demonstration,' self-work — with an unmistakable Fourth Way inheritance, stating flatly that 'man is a machine' and pressing readers from mechanical toward conscious response. Alongside this runs an esoteric, alchemical psychology, reading Shakespeare's Tempest as the marriage of male and female elements into a single principle. The apparent spiritualist signal is really the language of self-control, not spirit contact. It records a distinctive post-war synthesis of mind-cure, Gurdjieffian, and Hermetic strands. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
