In James Joyce's interest in the mysticism,the eastern Yogi philosophy got Joyce's at-tention.With the analysis of Joyce's Finnegans Wake,we can find the similarities between Joyces later thought and yogi philosophy.Yogi philosophy influenced James Joyce mainly through the Amer-ican mystic Atkinson under the pseudonym Yogi Ramacharaka.Therefore Joyce actually received a Westernized yogi philosophy.Even so,Atkinson's introduction provides Joyce with an eastern per-spective to understand spirit and existence.The spiritual world centered on conscience is not only Joyce's artistic goal since The Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man,but also the fundamental content of his thinking in Finnegans Wake.The influence of yogi philosophy gives Joyce's idea on the spiritu-al world a certain Oriental color.
