The Law of Psychic Phenomena is a book written by Thomson Jay Hudson that found immense success overnight. The book explores the idea that there are laws governing psychic phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and spiritual healing. Hudson argues that these phenomena can be explained through the principles of subconscious mental activity and suggests that the subconscious mind plays a crucial role in understanding and harnessing psychic abilities. The book delves into topics like hypnotism, suggestion, spiritual healing, and the power of the mind in influencing and manifesting psychic experiences. Overall, Hudson's work contributes to the study of psychic phenomena from a psychological perspective, emphasizing the importance of the subconscious mind in these mysterious occurrences.

After concluding with his convincing argument of the power of the subconscious mind, Hudson goes on to argue a scientific basis for Christianity based on these psychic abilities. Hudson synthesized the work of many eminent scientists of his time with the findings of the Society of Psychical Research to establish his argument that we are all endowed with these psychic powers that Christ taught.

For those studying metaphysics, New Thought, Mental Science, or scientific Christianity, or for those who want to transform their lives through the power of the mind, Thomson Jay Hudson is a must-read and pivotal figure. The logic and scientific rigor he used in studying metaphysics and mind laid the foundation for men like Thomas Troward, Emmett Fox, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ernest Holmes, Neville Goddard, and Robert Russell in their work. If you want evidence of the spiritual in this universe, Thomson Jay Hudson is a must-read. He was a century ahead of his time on topics such as epigenetics. In a time when spiritism was threatening the scientific integrity of the study of metaphysics, he laid out a case disproving spiritism while bolstering the world's view on the scientific study of metaphysics.

An excerpt from a biographical on Dr. Hudson:

Without violence to the truth, it may be said that one morning in 1893, Dr. Hudson awoke to find himself famous throughout the English-speaking world. His book The Law of Psychic Phenomena found an enormous sale, which continued at an increasing ratio. His first great work will be the standard by which posterity will estimate his standing as a pioneer in the scientific survey of the whole past field of psychical research. This was in turn, followed by "A Scientific Demonstration of the Future Life." "The Divine Pedigree of Man," and in 1903, & "The Law of Mental Medicine."

From Dr. Hudson:

"My primary object in offering this book to the public is to assist in bringing Psychology within the domain of the exact sciences. That this has never been accomplished is owing to the fact that no successful attempt has been made to formulate a working hypothesis sufficiently comprehensive to embrace all psychic phenomena. It has, however, long been felt by the ablest thinkers of our time that all psychic manifestations of the human intellect, normal or abnormal, whether designated by the name of mesmerism, hypnotism, somnambulism, trance, spiritism, demonology, miracle, mental therapeutics, genius, or insanity, are in some way related; and consequently, that they are to be referred to some general principle or law, which, once understood, will simplify and correlate the whole subject-matter, and possibly remove it from the domain of the supernatural."
