    James Allen

    Born in 1864 in England, James Allen took his first job at fifteen to support his family. Allen worked as a factory knitter and later a private secretary before writing his first book, From Poverty to Power, in 1901. In 1903 he completed his best-known work: As a Man Thinketh. Allen wrote nineteen books, including his spiritual journal, The Light of Reason, before he died at age forty-seven in 1912. While not widely known during his lifetime, Allen later came to be seen as a pioneer of contemporary inspirational literature.

      As a Man Thinketh - James Allen

      As a Man Thinketh

      James Allen

      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.

      Table of Contents

      Foreword

      Thought and Character

      Effect of Thought on Circumstances

      Effect of Thought on Health and the Body

      Thought and Purpose

      The Thought-factor in Achievement

      Visions and Ideals

      Serenity

      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.

      JAMES ALLEN.

      BROAD PARK AVENUE,

      ILFRACOMBE,

      ENGLAND

      Thought and Character

      THE aphorism, As a man thinketh in his heart so is he, not only embraces the whole of a man’s being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

      As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called spontaneous and unpremeditated as to those, which are deliberately executed.

      Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry.

      "Thought in the mind hath made us, What we are

      By thought was wrought and built. If a man’s mind

      Hath evil thoughts, pain comes on him as comes

      The wheel the ox behind.
