James Allen 1864 - 1912 an unrewarded genius was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of the self-help movement. This short book, originally published in 1902, has had a huge impact in the field of personal development. It is regarded as one of the most important books of the new thought era. It’s written in such a way that makes it easy to understand the most powerful message you could ever learn.
Mind is the master power that molds 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.
This little volume is the result of meditation and experience and 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.
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities - James Allen
