Riddle Me This. #6

I am a theory shrouded in mystery and doubt,
Believed by some, while others cast me out.
I'm not a science, but a practice that claims,
To harness the power of the mind and its aims.

In the mid 1900s, I was born in the minds,
Of mages and mystics, who sought to unwind
The secrets of the universe and its ways,
By tapping into its rhythms, and its numerous displays.

I'm not for everyone, as many will scoff,
At the notion of using their thoughts to take off,
Into the unknown, and the mystical realms,
Where changes can happen, at the flick of a helm.

What Concept Am I?

A lot happened in late 1900
The industrial revolution
And inventions of hundreds.

Is the practice you seek
a politic belief?

The practice you seek is not political in nature,
But rather a form of magic with a unique feature.
It emerged in the late 1900s, as you say,
A blend of traditions, with a new kind of sway.

It's not about machines, or the Industrial Revolution,
But rather the power of the mind and its evolution.
Spells and incantations are part of the game,
But the focus is on results, and the practitioner's aim.
