James Allen, página 4 de 17

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."

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.

This is James Allens first book, published in 1901. It was also titled The Realization of Prosperity and Peace. Allen described this book as "A Book for all those who are in search of better conditions, wider freedom, and increased usefulness."This book appeals to the reader from his own standpoint, and indicates the line of development along which each one should work in order to accomplish the greatest amount of lasting good. Enduring success in any direction is shown to be the result of inward adjustment and growth. Each may accelerate his own progress by silently, but effectively harmonizing his mental forces, the good effects of which will soon become manifest in improved circumstances, and wider opportunities.This Book is suitable for men and women in all circumstances, stations, and conditions of 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.

This is one of James Allens (author of As a Man Thinketh) final works. It covers living in happiness and gaining success. It was published in 1913 after his death.This small and attractive work contains many beautiful and choice thoughts upon the principles and methods of right living to ensure spiritual satisfaction, blessedness, and peace. This work is imbued with the Authors personality, and is carefully edited by Mrs. Lily L. Allen, who says: "This is one of the last Manuscripts written by James Allen. Like all his works, it is eminently practical to live out the teaching of this book faithfully in every detail of life will lead one to more than Happiness and Success." The many admirers of James Allen will be glad to add this work to their library.

Si queremos triunfar en los negocios, tener relaciones extraordinarias con los demás, gozar de una gran salud o tener éxito en cualquier otra área de nuestra vida, debemos tener claro el más importante de todos los principios del exito: el ser humano es literalmente lo que piensa. Su caracter es la suma de todos sus pensamientos. Asi como toda planta brota de su semilla, nuestras acciones brotan de la fuente invisible de nuestros pensamientos. Toda persona construye sus condiciones, su entorno y su destino en virtud de las ideas que escoge y guarda en su mente.Este principio ha sido la base de las enseñanzas de la gran mayoria de los autores contemporaneos de desarrollo personal y profesional. Autores como Og Mandino, Norman Vincent Peale, Brian Tracy, Camilo Cruz, Tony Robbins y Stephen Covey dan credito a esta obra que ha sido traducida a mas de 50 idiomas como uno de los mas trascendentales libros de autoayuda de todos los tiempos."He leido este libro mas de 25 veces. Sus enseñanzas son de un valor incalculable para lograr el exito." Mark Victor Hansen, coautor Sopa de Pollo para el Alma"Como piensa el ser humano, asi es su vida es uno de los diez mejores libros de exito y desarrollo personal de todos los tiempos." Og Mandino

This edition also includes the sequel to this famous book, "Out from the Heart."

El hombre no regenerado hoy desea, mañana satisface sus pasiones, y al tercer día se entristece. Estas tres circunstancias, que siempre van juntas, lo empujan sin él saber por qué. Conducido ciegamente por sus obcecados deseos, cae, de forma periódica, en los pozos del remordimiento y el pesar. No sólo no entiende su situación, sino que ni siquiera la percibe. Para él la vida no es otra cosa que la gratificación placentera del deseo, y así, por la ley de la reacción, también vive en la miseria de las aflicciones, fluctuando incesantemente entre el placer y el dolor. Pero llegado a un cierto punto, el hombre comienza a tener la sensación de que puede existir una vida más sosegada, más juiciosa y más noble. La introspección y el autoanálisis hacen que esa sensación aumente en claridad e intensidad hasta que surge con fuerza en su mente el convencimiento de la realidad de esa vida y de la posibilidad de alcanzarla. Al cruzar la puerta resplandeciente de la meditación su fe se convierte en conocimiento. Con la meditación, lo que antes era pasión y aflicción se transmuta en Armonía, Amor, Sabiduría y Paz.

El corazón espiritual del hombre es el Corazón del universo y, cuando encuentra éste, el hombre halla la fuerza para conseguirlo todo. Encuentra allí también la sabiduría para ver las cosas como son. Encuentra la paz divina. En el centro del ser del hombre está la música que ordena las estrellas: la Armonía Eterna. Quien encuentra la dicha, se encuentra a sí mismo. Abandona todo deseo discordante, todo pensamiento inarmónico, todo hábito y acto carentes de amor, y así descubre la gracia, la belleza y la armonía que constituyen la esencia indestructible de su propio ser. Los hombres vuelan de credo en credo, y se encuentran con el desasosiego. Viajan por muchas tierras, y descubren el desengaño. Se construyen bellas mansiones, plantan agradables jardines, y cosechan aburrimiento e incomodidad. El hombre no encuentra descanso ni satisfacción hasta que se recuesta en la Verdad que lleva en su interior. Mientras no construye la mansión interior de la conducta intachable no halla la dicha incorruptible y sin fin. Una vez alcanzada, la infunde a toda su actividad y a todas sus pertenencias exteriores. Quien desee tener paz deberá ejercitar el espíritu de la Paz. Quien quiera encontrar amor que se cobije en el espíritu del Amor. Quien quiera escapar del sufrimiento que deje de infligirlo. Quien quiera hacer cosas nobles para la humanidad que cese de hacerse cosas crueles a sí mismo. Basta con que excave en la mina de su propia alma para encontrar todo lo necesario para construir cualquier cosa que desee, y allí hallará también la Piedra básica sobre la que podrá construir con total seguridad.

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.

The burgeoning conflict between science and organized religion in the Nineteenth Century had many cultural offshoots, one of the most significant of which was the New Thought movement. New Thought exponents sought to reconcile the principles of science and general spirituality in a synthetic practical philosophy which explored the universality of the human experience. The literature which developed as a consequence has provided the basic material used by most of todays self-help practitioners, and has won enduring popularity because of the simplicity of its concepts and the practical methods it espouses. Among the earliest and most celebrated of these authors was James Allen (1864-1912). A reclusive man, he spent the last ten years of his life in rural seclusion in the village of Ilfracombe in Devon, during which period he wrote most of his twenty books.The most famous of these is "As A Man Thinketh", a short treatise of the power of thought. This short work is one of the first great classics of self-help literature, and has never been out of print since it was first published in 1902. Allens main thesis is that thought is not just a vehicle for comprehending and explaining the world, but is also the prime mechanism for creating and changing human experience. While Allens views may remain controversial, a vast audience of readers has found his work greatly inspiring.

La meditación espiritual es el camino hacia la Divinidad. Es la escalera mística que lleva de la tierra al cielo, del error a la Verdad, del dolor a la paz. Todos los santos la han escalado, todo pecador debe, antes o despues, llegar a ella, y todo cansado peregrino que da la espalda a su yo y al mundo, y dirige su rostro con resolucion hacia el Hogar del Padre, debe posar sus pies en sus escalones dorados. Sin su ayuda no puedes crecer hacia el estado divino, a parecerte a lo divino, hacia la divina paz, y las glorias inmutables y las alegrias impolutas de la Verdad se mantendran escondidas de ti. La meditacion, en el sentido espiritual, es el secreto de toda vida y todo conocimiento espiritual. Todos los profetas, sabios y salvadores se convierten en lo que son por el poder de la meditacion. Buda medito en la Verdad hasta que pudo decir: "Yo soy la Verdad". Jesus reflexiono sobre la Divina inmanencia hasta que por fin pudo declarar: "El Padre y yo somos Uno". La meditacion centrada en las realidades divinas es la esencia misma y el alma de la oracion. Es la extension silenciosa del alma hacia lo Eterno. La mera oracion petitoria, sin meditacion, es un cuerpo sin alma, y no tiene poder para elevar la mente y el corazon por encima del pecado y de la afliccion.
