Power. Deep down, isn't that what we all want? Power over others, power to induce them to do our bidding, power to get what we want when we want it. Even better, psychic power, so one can control people with the mind, without resistance or resentment. (Just what I want for my birthday, in case you were wondering.) That is the promise of this book.
Its author, Frank Rudolph Young, says he is a master of yoga: whatever the truth of that claim it is apparent he is not a master of understatement. The blurb on the rear cover tells us, for example, that this book will demonstrate:
... how you fascinate others with your thoughts, entrance them with your grace of movement, increase your muscle power up to 10 times with your mind alone, arouse intense desire in the opposite sex by your mere presence...
Because Cyclomancy is magic you may achieve any result you desire with it...
HOW TO MOVE OBJECTS WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM!
HOW TO SEE UP CLOSE FROM A DISTANCE OF TWO THOUSAND MILES!
HOW YOU MAY ACQUIRE AND USE X RAY VISION!
MATERIALIZING OBJECTS OUT OF THIN AIR!
HOW TO REDUCE AND STAY SLIM WITHOUT STARVATION!
Personally, if I could “arouse intense desire in the opposite sex by [my] mere presence” I wouldn't worry about my waistline. That aside, Cyclomancy is so impressive in its scope that some might be sceptical about the reality of Young's claims, but he sets all such doubts aside by presenting some impeccable credentials:
Frank Rudolph Young's granduncle was a long-lived Yogi in far-away India. For 40 years, Mr Young's father investigated the secrets of psychic power in the West Indies and in Central and South America. Mr. Young himself spent 30 years investigating the scientific laws behind Cyclomancy. Since 1955 he has taught these findings to thousands of followers throughout the world.
There you are then. Grand-nephew of a “Yogi in far-away India” (India, Tennessee, I'm guessing) and son of a psychic investigator. It must all be true, surely.
Sometimes promises made on the exterior of a book are belied by its content, having been composed by some unscrupulous hack rather than its author. However in this case the tone of wild overstatement is continued throughout, and in fact the content of the book is even more insane than its blurb suggests. The following short extract comes from a chapter titled, wonderfully, How to Use the Astounding Power of Your Brain Horns and Put It Under Psychic Power Control:
Exercise 1. How To Tranquilize Highly Wrought-Up People with Infrared Ray Projections. Vince Laplante has suffered serious blows through poor investments, business reverses or a shocking discovery about the state of his health. The moment you lay eyes on him, use the Psychic Arc to bring twice the amount of heat to your body surface. Think of the juicy steak to warm up your skin, then draw this heat quickly from all over you and pack it into two narrow, short hot rods in your Brain Horns so that they actually burn your eyes a little. Deliver, now, a psychic command rocket behind the hot rods, with the following command, “Vince, you'll win out! Just be a little patient! You'll win out!” (That prevents your conscious mind from analyzing the advice and reasoning whether it is realistic or not. Just forget your logic and let your psychic power command straight to behind the hot rods, carrying with it all its confident power).
I doubt that the idea of thinking about a “juicy steak” in order to warm oneself up is part of conventional Yogic teaching, which is strictly vegetarian, but to be able to send infra red rays from one's eyes would certainly be useful, especially when the TV remote has disappeared down the back of the sofa. (“Just forget your logic”, indeed.) And as proof that Young's weird way with imagery is not confined to confusing references to “hot rods”, here's another even more bizarre example:
Exercise. How to Establish Mutual Rapport Fast Between You and Anyone. You run into Martin on the street, in the office, at a social gathering, in your house, or his, the golf course or anywhere else. Instantly visualize his torso, from head to thighs, as secreting within it a profusion of acetylcholine at every Nerve Gap. Or you can just visualize his torso and at the same time think strongly of a juicy steak or of something else that you relish eating. Maintain that thought or vision clearly for two seconds.
This mental picture will automatically be telepathized into Martin's mind. It will be a picture of a painless torso, for acetylcholine is secreted by your loving nerves, and those are nerves of pleasure, not pain.
Martin's conscious mind will subsequently ignore any pain sensations from his Sensations Recording Center which originated in his torso or which are caused by it reflexly, like a stomach headache. So he feels better immediately and subconsciously associates you with that feeling. He is left eager to meet you or associate with again. You have created mutual rapport between you two ... fast.
To encourage people to fantasise about the torsos of those they meet, bathed in secretions, seems frankly dangerous. I've seen American Beauty, you know. “Mutual rapport” may not be exactly what you create ... fast.
To write like this, one must have a very warped sense of humour, or none. To help you decide, here's some more of Young's strange advice:
If you visit ill and crabby Teddy, improve his frame of mind with the tender touch.
When you go to bed, do the Zembla to retard old age.
When you lie there, win back a vacillating romantic partner, or wife or husband, with the Psychic Antidrom.
Arouse your marital partner incredibly with the Human Lamp.
And, oh yes, “make all these attainments permanent with the Psychic Mold”. (Maybe later, when my Brain Horns are rested. Gosh, I've overdone the Zembla again.)

i want to buy this book. and am in Ghana, how can you help me get one of this book. contact me on or +233 207733665
It seems like you read the book with a narrow-mind to begin with. The author has written great books, and I do not doubt his background. I have seen a picture of him and indeed he does look of Indian-descent.
i love
So... a book from a publisher in West Nyack, nyack, nyack. I am The Penguin and I am so groovy. I shake my monocle at you for filing this story under "spooky". Frank was a great man. A great man, I say! Taught me many good tricks back in the day. Nyack, nyack, nyack.
How do i obtain this book? I would like to take my studies in this direction.
You can find copies on Amazon, Ebay and all over the net.
Ebay is the best place to find a cheap copy. It's a Treasure
Trove and very powerful. I suggest you be careful as it's
complelely real and scientific. When he warns you in the first chapters to
develop your powers to a minor degree and still become a
superman he's not kidding! A little bit is enough! Other than that have fun!
Also highly suggested by the same author are The Laws of
Mental Domination and Somo Psychic Power.

there are real results. there have been weird instances in india. approximately in the 1970s where yogis have been seen with aura's and doing ridiculous acts of strength.
I know people can use these techniques as I have been a 'victim' of it. In the examples above, it seems they are using the techniques directed at an individual for that individuals highest good and to help them. Which is fine. In my experience, I consider myself a totally rational, logical individual who bases things on scientific evidence. Well, no more. There is a power in the universe and if one uses it for sexual power, like what happened to me, it borders on the occult or black magic. I remember thinking how I always wondered how previously 'normal' women would drive get away cars for bank robbers and do other things they would never do - now I know. My situation never came to that, but when I thought about it and realized that I didn't have total control over my thoughts and actions I investigated it further. People who do it to control others have serious issues and I believe will suffer serious karmic effects for doing things that are not in the best interests of a person. Power over others in my book is occult related. I think it is the total opposite of love and caring. People who have to have control and power are sociopathic and narcissistic.
... yes it does work but only to a degree
'Personally, if I could “arouse intense desire in the opposite sex by [my] mere presence” I wouldn't worry about my waistline.'
You worrying about your waistline is precisely why you aren't able to arouse intense desire in the opposite sex by merely being in their presence.

HOG WASH! AT LEAST "HARRY POTTER" IS LITERATURE!
EVERYONE: The book works to a degree. It challenges ones state of mind, reality rather. The key behind the whole book is to develop a bond with your body. to find patience within yourself. then you can dominate reality with just the way you are. since ive read it, i can make events work in my favor, play minds games, its changed my life alot. its not for everyone. you litteral have to mentally and physically DRIVE YOURSELF INTO A STATE OF HYSTERIA TO USE THIS BOOK or it WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU. so, anyone with a mental disorder is probably going to have more luck with this then the conservative narrow minded thinker. i felt like a freak at first, but one is the wiser when i gave in to it. Sometimes i feel like Satan himself for all things i get away with now...so beware...
This is solid information. Less "weird" or "hokey" than his other books or information from the same publisher. All the books have issues due to them coming out in the 50's. One thing I must say about the publisher. Originally murphy's books came out from the same publisher. You can see his books in the book lists in the back of all the paperbacks. I knew murphys teacher. Used to be my neibor in 1996. I learned some interesting things about salesmen. Your infinite power to become rich is a salesmens bible. What I find interesting if not troubling is a lot of these out-of-print books are ripped off or rehashed by other unscrupilous types, basically with the same issues I learned about from murphys university professor, my neibor. This hackery was invariably incorporated into the modern day seduction, NLP and self-help circles. If you do the reasearch and dig up old references. You'll realize that people are intentionally/unintentionally commiting "intellectual plagarism" by denying the genetic roots of the concepts. Or they are using methods basically to control people. Witchcraft, kinesics, body language, mantras, magic spells. What i'm seeing a lot of is people are not products of what they teach. In other words, there is more going on than meets the eyes. I learned from a psychic that used to be based in florida. Who was also an author who is part of this web who really invented remote viewing. She was approached by the CIA *BEFORE* ingo swan and those guys claim to have invented remote viewing (pronounced BS). They ripped off her methodology and tweaked it. Which basically is what makes it "unique". Minus her method as taught in her books and instructionals. What i'm alluding here is more of the same. If you paid $5,000 an hour to learn it from some NLP or seduction guru or "someone else". You got ripped off. And chances are it was already written in an out of print book in the 50's when NOBODY was talking about this stuff.
What in the hell is all this nonsense. "This is solid information"? Are you retarded?
I once had a psychic vision of a man who used his psychic power to manifest trillions of dollars, his name is Rothschild and he hypnotized the entire world into using his monopoly money that he created out of thin air.
I can has this book? My daughter requires my assistance and need to propel her toward magnificent prospering. She has gone zami. We must not be flippant with such astronomical gifts and instruction. Please email talk to me as you do not like it: so i can learn powers instead, so you can help me.
I wish your daughter all the magnificent prospering possible, but I fear this book will not help. It is merely a fraud perpetrated by the cynical on the gullible.
So...I got this book at a YARD SALE when I was 12...I read it, and re-read it... there are elements that work... controlling your body is very important...I loaned the book out at 17 and never saw it again...
I picked it up 6 years ago and it has sit on my bookshelf ever since...I need to read it again...in a world of self-exploration and quantum thinking... this book was ahead of it's time...
As you can get it for next to nothing... read it... what have you to lose? Listening to negativity expressed on this board is a ticket to no where... negativity is absence of happiness...read it and see where it takes you.
Batz, the author makes audacious (some would say ridiculous) claims. He says you can learn how to move objects without touching them, for instance. It is not "negative" to doubt such extraordinary claims, it is reasonable, because generally people cannot do such things.
The book makes a lot of assertions but there is not one jot of evidence supporting any of them. It seems to me that it is much more likely that the author is a liar than that he really has some sort of magic powers. There are an awful lot of liars in the world, after all.
This Book is worded strangely by today's standards, no doubt, but it's the same principles they will teach you in any sales improvement class today. Any information of this type can be used for the improvement of your life and others OR to harm. If you feel that harming others or manipulating them in a harmful way in necessary to get what you want -REMEMBER that the refection theory is just as real. In other words don't do anything that you wouldn't want some one to do to you.
"it's the same principles they will teach you in any sales improvement class today".
Do they teach you how to view objects at a distance of two thousand miles in your sales class? Amazing!
Mr. Armstrong,
I acquired this book in the 60s. Practiced some of the techniques in the book then tried them in the "real" world. They worked.
From my point of view, Mr. Young wrote the same information in four different ways in four different books. Each book is written for a particular type of individual orientation.
Cyclomancy: For individuals who are predominately visionally oriented.
Somo-Psychic Power: For individuals who are predominately feeling oriented.
Psychastra: For individuals who are predominately sound oriented.
The Secret of Spirit-Thought Magic: For individuals who are predominately "?" oriented.
There is obviously nothing written for individuals who are locked into their intellectual minds and cannot consider anything that might be in the realm of quantum physics.
Forget the "out of this world" statements that just can't be true to the intellectual mind. Find what works for you, but remember this: What you project to others must first begin in you, AND IT WILL DEFINITELY EFFECT YOU. Don't project something that you do not want happening to you in the same way it is going to happen to them.
This nonsense has as much to do with quantum physics as it has with balloon modelling. Quantum physics has a coherent theoretical basis and it makes clear predictions about observable phenomena that can be verified, unlike Young's ramblings. It is entirely the work of "intellectual minds", and it cannot be used to justify vague notions about psychic phenomena.
(I am not surprised to hear he wrote this same stuff in several forms to appeal to different classes of sucker. I have another book also published by Parker, apparently written by one Walter Delaney, that I would be willing to bet was also by the same hand. It has the same vainglorious style of bogosity.)
As Carl Sagan said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but there is none to be found in this book. (Anyone can say they can perform powerful feats of magic, but as this video shows, the wise man avoids putting himself to the test.)
Neither the "works" of intellectual minds nor idiot minds can prove that God exist. God is "known" only by experiencing the "unknown" and this does not make any sense to a person's intellect no matter how smart or dumb that person is at the time. Even the people who practice meditation know they cannot reach the level of "oneness" by focusing on getting to that "level" even if they have experienced it at other times. We would all be "saints" by now if religion teachings worked, but what is "preached" and what is "projected" are two entirely different things - and very few people get this.
A person mainly experiences what they "project". Mr. Armstrong, you experience precisely what you project and you cannot experience anything else. Therefore, nothing can exist outside of your projection that you do not believe in and I'll assume you would rather die than project anything else. (The meditation people tell me that I'm using the wrong word with you. I should be using manifest instead of project. I say that neither one will be accepted by your belief system in this context.)
The proof does not lie in the book. The proof lies within each individual and their unique belief system. A person's intellect is based upon their belief system. (The educational system measures only a person's intellect, not their belief system because it is against the law to teach beliefs in the public educational system. Religion is only a very small part of a person's belief system.)
Did Carl Sagan ever write of any extraordinary evidence that proved God? (I liked Carl, he was one of my astronomy heros".)
Dear Anonymous, you know so much about me, it's scary. No, sorry, you are terribly wrong.
As it happens I used to believe all kinds of tosh. Gradually I realized that the many tosh merchants disagreed with one another in fundamental ways, and their systems could not be reconciled. So I stopped believing in it all, and I've never regretted doing so.
The idea that believing in something for no good reason makes you in some undefined way superior to those of us who insist on rationality is a familiar one, but no less depressing. You are the one with a narrow view, in my opinion.
There surely are many things beyond my experience or understanding but that does not explain why anyone should believe in some intangible supposition purely on the word of another doubtless fallible human being. It is preposterous. Especially because, as I said earlier, the believers disagree amongst themselves. A pox on all your houses!
Dear Mr. Armstrong, I am happy that I am wrong!
We are nearing agreement.
In your last posting, if you include all religions in your definition of tosh, then I will agree with that posting 100%. (Except for your definition of me.)
But please, don't pox my house because that would make you a believer in voodoo and cause me to lose faith in your rationality.
p.s. When the person in one of the postings above told the other person about why the other person wasn't attracting hot babes because of his waist line, he was alluding to the cause being that what the other person's belief system was projecting was opposite to what the other person was wanting. (I doubt that I've written this in an understandable way. I hope you get my meaning.)
I doubt we'll ever be in agreement, if you can countenance that Young might have been anything other than a huckster.
I'm not sure exactly what brand of tosh you favour (The dreaded "Law" of Attraction, perhaps?), but it doesn't have to go by the name of religion to be considered dreary and preposterous. Humanity believed in and practised magic for thousands of years with bugger all to show for it; science came along relatively recently and here we are, actually communicating at a distance instead of pretending to do so.
am bob prince i have this book any body that need it should contact me am from nigeria
Bob, anyone who manages to contact you on the basis of this comment is probably so psychic they don't really need the book.
i need this book urgently. my contact no is +918149713817 i m from india, maharastra
were can i get this book in india or us
What needs to be understood before even flipping the front cover open is that what is discussed in this book it to be taken with all seriousness. I vivid warning is given in the beginning and if you cannot understand how serious this is and how much damage one can do to themselves just by mere thought then the effort should not be put into finding it. The mind creates noises in dark rooms, the mind blows simple situation out of proportion to the point that the body gets physically sick, and the mind has the power to kill the body without a second thought. If the mind can do all of this damage just think of what beneficial things you could accomplish with it, the people you could help, the individuals you could attract.
This book is not meant to attract hot girls at a night club, if thats what you want to use it for, then you have been warned. This book is meant to find inner peace and strength that should be used to benefit yourself and others. Use it wisely.
P.S. Only a fool with a death wish would get on national television and display "magic trick" as someone earlier called it. The most magnificent people in the world today are unknown for good reasons. We all can do everything Jesus Christ did and more but to display the powers that each and everyone of us has inside would be an instant death, I can promise you that.
Actually, "what needs to be understood" is that to convince others of your point of view it's wise to provide arguments based on evidence, rather than making a series of unfounded assertions. Otherwise you are liable to be taken for a charlatan.
And if you don't agree I shall melt your socks, simply by thinking about it. What, you don't believe me? Why ever not?
I GAINED SECRET ANCIENT POWER FROM WISDENS CRICKETERS' ALMANAC! AND LOST TEN STONE IN WEIGHT!!
