    James Allen

    James Allen war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Philosoph, der als einer der Pioniere der Selbsthilfe-Literatur gilt. Seine Werke, insbesondere das weltbekannte Buch As a Man Thinketh, sind geprägt von der Überzeugung, dass die Gedanken eines Menschen dessen Realität und Lebensumstände formen. Dieses Werk basiert auf einem Vers aus den Sprüchen der Bibel und veranschaulicht eindrücklich, wie kraftvoll das Denken auf unser Leben wirkt. Allen, der aus einer Arbeiterfamilie in Leicester stammte, begann seine Karriere zunächst als Sekretär und Schriftsetzer. Erst Ende der 1890er Jahre fand er seine Berufung als Autor, inspiriert durch spirituelle und philosophische Überzeugungen. Sein erstes Buch, From Poverty to Power, markierte den Beginn seiner schriftstellerischen Laufbahn, in der er mehr als ein Dutzend Werke verfasste. Zu diesen zählen unter anderem The Life Triumphant und Eight Pillars of Prosperity. Besonders bemerkenswert ist, dass Allen seine Botschaften nicht nur theoretisch formulierte, sondern diese in seinem eigenen Leben anwandte. Seine Schriften basieren auf persönlichen Erfahrungen und tiefen Einsichten, wie seine Frau nach seinem Tod betonte. Auch nach seinem Tod setzte sie die Veröffentlichung seiner Werke fort, was Allens Lehren über die Kraft des positiven Denkens zu einem langfristigen Vermächtnis machte.

      As A Man Thinketh - James Allen

      AS A MAN THINKETH

      BY

      JAMES ALLEN

      Author of From Passion to Peace

      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.

      CONTENTS

      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....

      ..If one endure

      In purity of thought, joy follows him

      As his own shadow—sure."

      Man is a growth by law, and not a creation by artifice, and cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in
