Editorials from The Word Magazine

These editorials by Harold W. Percival represent the complete collection published in The Word magazine between 1904 and 1917. Now over one hundred years later, the original monthly magazines are rare. The twenty-five volume bound sets of The Word are only owned by a few collectors and libraries around the world. By the time Mr. Percival's first book, Thinking and Destiny, was published in 1946, he had developed a new terminology for conveying the results of his thinking. This largely explains what may appear to be differences between his earlier and later works.
When the first series of The Word ended, Harold W. Percival stated: “The main object of my writings was to bring the readers to an understanding and a valuation of the study of Consciousness, and to stimulate those who choose to become conscious of Consciousness …” Now new generations of readers have several ways to access this information. All of the Percival editorials can be read below on this webpage. They have also been compiled into two large volumes and have been organized by topic into eighteen smaller books. All are available as paperbacks and e-books.
