James Allen, página 3 de 15

This is the extended annotation including an essay called "James Allen: A prophet Of Meditation". We cannot alter external things, nor shape other people to our liking, nor mould the world to our wishes but we can alter internal things,-our desires, passions, thoughts,-we can shape our liking to other people, and we can mould the inner world of our own mind in accordance with wisdom, and so reconcile it to the outer world if men and things. The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace. The twenty pieces which comprise this book, unrelated as some of them are in the letter, will be found to be harmonious in the spirit, in that they point the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulance of the world, lift their peaks where the Heavenly Silence reigns.

Every day is a new beginning and not a mere repetition of the previous day. Hence each day should be spent wisely and fruitfully. As todays life is becoming hectic and busy, we are prone to illnesses and mental disturbances. Therefore, now, more than ever in the past, we need to spend few minutes in meditation. This will. give us the necessary spiritual and mental poise to enter upon our duties in the proper frame of mind. The meditations given in this book for each day of the year keep us company and, at intervals when we pause from our work, recharge our energies. We also acquire peace and strength to sustain us through the stressful life.

In "Eight Pillars of Prosperity," James Allen reveals exact qualities we must meditate upon in order to achieve lasting success. Prosperity rests on eight pillars: Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality, and Self-reliance. "A business built up on the faultless practice of all these principles," Allen writes, "would be so firm and enduring as to be invincible. Nothing could injure it; nothing could undermine its prosperity, nothing could interrupt its success." This is a "Book of Virtues" for adults, distilling the wisdom of the ages in one compact volume. The moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness. They endure for ever, and all the works of man which endure are built upon them. Without them there is neither strength, stability, nor substantial reality, but only ephemeral dreams. To find moral principles is to have found prosperity, greatness, truth, and is therefore to be strong, valiant, joyful and free.

The unceasing change, the insecurity, and the misery of life make it necessary to find some basis of certainty on which to rest if happiness and peace of mind are to be maintained. All science, philosophy, and religion are some many efforts in search of this permanent basis; all interpretations on the universe, whether from the material or spiritual side, are so many attempts to formulate some unifying principle or principles by which to reconcile the fluctuations and contradictions of life.

Offering his patented brand of spiritual advice that relied as much on self-empowerment as inspiration, James Allen - one of the most popular writers in the field at the turn of the 20th century - sets out to show the elements of character and conduct that go towards building a "life of calm strength and superlative victory." In helping the reader achieve "victory over all the dark things of life," Allen has written a self-help book for anyone "eager to learn, and earnest to achieve."This is another inspirational landmark from the bestselling author of "As a Man Thinketh." British author and pop philosopher James Allen (1864-1912) retired from the business world to pursue a life of writing and contemplation. He authored many books about the power of thought including "The Way of Peace,""The Mastery of Destiny," and "Entering the Kingdom."

This is the extended annotation including an essay called "James Allen: A prophet Of Meditation". 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.

Every day is a new beginning and not a mere repetition of the previous day. Hence each day should be spent wisely and fruitfully. As todays life is becoming hectic and busy, we are prone to illnesses and mental disturbances. Therefore, now, more than ever in the past, we need to spend few minutes in meditation. This will. give us the necessary spiritual and mental poise to enter upon our duties in the proper frame of mind. The meditations given in this book for each day of the year keep us company and, at intervals when we pause from our work, recharge our energies. We also acquire peace and strength to sustain us through the stressful life.

The Truth is so presented in its pages as to render it adaptable to all minds. Numbers of business men have proted largely by reading it, while those sacking the highest Truth have entered into larger light and greater peace by studying its chapters.
