Bøger af James Allen

THIS little self-help 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 omtales ofte som grundlægger af begrebet selvudvikling og "Som du tænker", har været kilde til inspiration for mange senere forfattere af selvhjælpsbøger. Titlen er redigeret i 2002."Denne lille bog – resultatet af meditation og erfaringer – er ikke ment som en udførlig afhandling om tankens kraft, et emne der er skrevet rigeligt om. Den sigter snarere mod at antyde end at forklare; dens mål er at stimulere mænd og kvinder til at opdage og opleve den sandhed, at "de selv er deres egne skabere", ud fra de tanker de vælger og opmuntrer; at psyken er mestervæveren som fremstiller såvel karakterens indre klæde som deres omstændigheders ydre; og at de, ligesom de måske tidligere har vævet i uvidenhed og smerte, fremover kan væve i oplyst lykke." – James AllenJames Allen (1864-1912) var en britisk forfatter.

Allen endeavored to write with simple clarity, to make his teachings universally accessible.

Chapter by chapter, Allen explores the long-term effect of focused, positive thought in every area of life, and on identity itself.

Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is the mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace. Every saint has climbed it; every sinner must sooner or later come to it, and every weary pilgrim that turns his back upon self and the world, and sets his face resolutely toward the Father's Home, must plant his feet upon its golden rounds. Without its aid you cannot grow into the divine state, the divine likeness, the divine peace, and the fadeless glories and unpolluting joys of Truth will remain hidden from you. Meditation is the intense dwelling, in thought, upon an idea or theme, with the object of thoroughly comprehending it, and whatsoever you constantly meditate upon you will not only come to understand, but will grow more and more into its likeness, for it will become incorporated into your very being, will become, in fact, your very self. If, therefore, you constantly dwell upon that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased; if you ceaselessly think upon that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish. Tell me what that is upon which you most frequently and intensely think, that to which, in your silent hours, your soul most naturally turns, and I will tell you to what place of pain or peace you are traveling, and whether you are growing into the likeness of the divine or the bestial.There is an unavoidable tendency to become literally the embodiment of that quality upon which one most constantly thinks. Let, therefore, the object of your meditation be above and not below, so that every time you revert to it in thought you will be lifted up; let it be pure and unmixed with any selfish element; so shall your heart become purified and drawn nearer to Truth, and not defiled and dragged more hopelessly into error.
