Allen’s best-known work.
If you’re new to his writings, you probably want to read this one first.

Many would say James Allen's Teachings are mere 'self-help,' 'personal development,' or 'personal empowerment' tools, and those people would be right in their perception, for themselves, at the time they discover his profound works.

However, as any authentic Spiritual education is an upward spiral, the serious and astute aspirant will soon discover, upon repeated listening, that these Teachings can take one FAR beyond the self-ish, worldly desires and ambitions, the egoic needs, and the petty wants of the lower self.

Allen's Teaching is an eminently accessible path to Realisation, Enlightenment, and Liberation and if the 'letter and the spirit' are followed diligently, the Higher Life is available to all.

Blessings.


Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:—
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass.

Foreword

This little volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that—
"They themselves are makers of themselves."
by virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.
