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 the years since its publication in 1902, "As a Man Thinketh" has set thousands of men on the pathway to personal and financial growth. Now, in this unique rendition of James Allens masterwork, you, too, can manifest the traits and skills characteristic of those honorable, refined, and successful men. Each of the aphorisms and quotes in this book reveals simple yet revelatory techniques that will empower you to strengthen your character, harness constructive thoughts, and create the life youve always wanted.As Allen himself wrote, "As a Man Thinketh"shall create positive results in daily circumstances and actions, regardless of the venuean agreeable prospect, one must concede!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

En ocasiones el alma siente que ha encontrado una paz y una felicidad convincente practicando alguna religión, adoptando una filosofía o persiguiendo un ideal artístico o intelectual. Pero siempre una avasallante inquietud viene a mostrar que aquella religión no es la adecuada o es insuficiente; que aquella filosofía teórica resulta un apoyo inútil; o aquel ideal que el creyente construyó durante muchos años, cae destrozado a sus pies en un instante. ¿No existe una manera de escapar de la pena y del dolor? ¿Acaso la felicidad, la prosperidad y una paz permanentes, son tan sólo sueños inalcanzables? Existe una manera -nos dice James Allen- en que el mal puede desterrarse para siempre. Existe un proceso mediante el cual la enfermedad y la pobreza, así como cualquier situación o circunstancia adversa, pueden apartarse de nuestro lado para no regresar jamás. Existe un método con el que puede asegurarse una prosperidad permanente, sin que regrese la adversidad. También existe una práctica con la que podemos alcanzar y compartir una continua e infinita paz y dicha.

To make a right beginning is half-way to victory. The athlete who makes a bad start may lose his prize; the merchant who makes a false start may lose his reputation; and the Truth-seeker who makes a wrong start may forego the crown of Righteousness."

Como es en el corazón, así es en la vida. Lo interior constantemente está convirtiéndose en lo exterior. Todo llega a revelarse. Lo oculto solamente lo está durante un tiempo, finalmente madura y emerge. La semilla, la planta, la flor y el fruto integran el orden cuadruple del universo. Y a partir de los comportamientos que existen en el corazon del hombre se revelan las circunstancias de su vida. Sus pensamientos florecen en acciones y sus acciones dan el fruto de su caracter y de su destino. La vida siempre esta evolucionando en el interior y luego surge a la luz. Los pensamientos que se han generado en el corazon, finalmente se revelan en palabras, en acciones y en logros. El dolor y la felicidad, el sufrimiento y el goce, el miedo y la esperanza, el odio y el amor, la ignorancia y el conocimiento, no se encuentran en ninguna parte que no sea en el corazon del hombre y todos ellos son unicamente condiciones mentales.
