Opening of the book
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. Authorized Edition New York CONTENTS 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 AS A MAN THINKETH
