Source recordaudit note
Gutenberg resolves Yogi Ramacharaka to William Walker Atkinson. The official Atkinson author page lists aliases including Ramacharaka, Yogi; Panchadasi, Swami; Vishita, Bhakta; and Dumont, Theron Q. No standalone Gutenberg page was found for Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy in this pass; it is referenced in other Ramacharaka texts but should not be treated as an identified Gutenberg import until a concrete ebook ID is verified. Recommended import order: #13656 Raja Yoga, #13407 Gnani Yoga, #13402 Science of Breath, #13143 Mystic Christianity, then #26364 Reincarnation/Karma and #22739 Human Aura.

From the verified Gutenberg 'New Thought' subject list (subject/1670). DEDUP-CONFIRMED 0 duplicates: As a Man Thinketh — James Allen, #4507 (the single most iconic New Thought text; recommend as the FIRST import). NOT yet individually dedup-checked (verify before import): The Science of Getting Rich #59844 and The Science of Being Well #33917 (Wattles); The Game of Life and How to Play It #74878 (Shinn, 1925); The Way of Peace #10740 and Out from the Heart #74178 (Allen); Troward sequels to the already-imported Edinburgh Lectures — The Doré Lectures #1398, The Creative Process in the Individual #10361, The Hidden Power #25638, The Law and the Word #15568; The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit #28163 and Thoughts I Met on the Highway #18392 (Trine); The Heart of the New Thought #30256 (Ella Wheeler Wilcox); Within You is the Power #7224 (Hamblin); The Life Radiant #23820 (Whiting); The Silence #13136 (Bush).

Source recordPublic domain by age (each to be re-verified from a fetched source before import)
HIGH-CONFIDENCE, VERIFIABLE GAP: 'The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 2' (Blavatsky, 1888; PD) — the corpus has only Vol. 1 (secret-doctrine-vol-1); Vol. 2 (Anthropogenesis) is a clean PD addition. OTHER PD CANDIDATES TO VERIFY (fetch + dedup + preview before importing; do not import from memory): Agrippa, 'Three Books of Occult Philosophy' (older English translation); A. E. Waite, 'The Book of Ceremonial Magic' (1911); E. Levi / A. E. Waite trans., 'Transcendental Magic' (1896); Blavatsky, 'Isis Unveiled' (1877); additional New Thought (Atkinson/Troward) and Hermetic/alchemical PD titles. RESTRICTED / LIVING-PRACTICE EXCLUSIONS (do NOT import): modern Wicca ritual material (Gardnerian/Alexandrian Books of Shadows, Valiente), Crowley works still in copyright, and any modern initiatory/order ritual texts — treat Wicca/witchcraft as a living tradition and keep to historical/PD sources (Aradia, Salem, Scot already cover the historical layer). SOURCE-IMAGE LEADS (for a future image task, verify each item's rights, ingest=false): grimoire/manuscript images from the Wellcome Collection (often CC-BY) and national libraries (BnF/BL) — e.g., Key of Solomon and Clavicula manuscripts; archive only with confirmed display-safe rights metadata.

LEAD CORRECTIONS: (a) Gutenberg #10390 = The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science (Troward) = DUPLICATE of existing text 'edinburgh-lectures-mental-science' — do not re-import. (b) Gutenberg #45113 (Nuggets of the New Thought) = DUPLICATE of existing 'nuggets-of-the-new-thought'. (c) The two task 'subject' leads were MIS-SEEDED: subject/420 resolves to 'Books about Airplanes' and subject/1459 to 'Books about Mrs. Inchbald' — neither is New Thought/Theosophy. The correct Gutenberg subject is subject/1670 ('New Thought'), used for this review. EXISTING corpus coverage (no dupes): secret-doctrine-vol-1 (Blavatsky), edinburgh-lectures-mental-science (Troward), nuggets-of-the-new-thought (Atkinson), plus kybalion (under hermeticism). SCOPE SEPARATION (per admin): keep the PD bridge/New Thought material above SEPARATE from MODERN COPYRIGHTED New Age — e.g., mid/late-20th-century and living authors (channeled New Age, Findhorn, Eckhart Tolle, most Alice Bailey post-1928 works) are in copyright and must stay source-inventory/rights-review only, never imported. The 'new-age' tradition (distinct from theosophy-new-thought) currently has 0 texts and should be populated, if at all, only from permission-cleared/PD material.

REAL MISSING FULL TEXTS, verified import-ready (PD + 0 duplicates confirmed via admin_find_duplicate_texts). Best Theosophy<->New Thought bridge material: (1) Light on the Path and Through the Gates of Gold — Mabel Collins, Gutenberg #14599 (Theosophist devotional used across Theosophy AND New Thought; the strongest single bridge text). (2) Dynamic Thought; Or, The Law of Vibrant Energy — William Walker Atkinson, #41892 (vibration/energy doctrine bridging New Thought + Hermetic/Theosophical thought). (3) In Tune with the Infinite — Ralph Waldo Trine, #23559 (bridges Eastern mysticism + New Thought; a genre-defining classic). (4) Modern Religious Cults and Movements — Gaius Glenn Atkins, #19051 (scholarly survey explicitly mapping Theosophy/New Thought/Christian Science/New Age — ideal comparative/bridge context). RECOMMEND importing in this order via the bulk import pipeline (chapter-segmented); each is short-to-moderate length. Not hand-built into a draft here to avoid transcription error in a long session.
