Walker authored many books. He wrote The Log of the Ark with Geoffrey Boumphrey in 1923. He was the author of Meaning and Purpose (1944), an analysis of the main scientific theories of the last hundred years and their impact upon religious thought and belief. It aimed at questioning the completeness of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection and evolution, as well as evaluating the most relevant scientific discoveries at the time of publication and their effect on the general population. He also attacked mechanistic accounts of the universe and natural selection in his book Life's Long Journey (1961).[6]
He studied the ideas and methods of George Gurdjieff with P. D. Ouspensky,[7] and when the latter died in 1947 he visited Gurdjieff himself in Paris. He contributed thoughtful pieces to the Picture Post, a highly popular publication, and was referred to by a friend as 'The Sage of Picture Post.' He conducted study groups in the Gurdjieff Society London. Among his books are A Study of Gurdjieff's Teaching, and Venture with Ideas. His writing style was simple and direct.
Walker was also interested in parapsychology. In his book The Extra-Sensory Mind he supported the controversial claims of radionics.
