James Allen - As a Man Thinketh


Almost everyone includes "As a Man Thinketh" on their lists, but I have a problem with it.
I'm sure the book is very good, but Allen himself never achieved great fame or wealth.
I know that sounds bad, but if he knew these techniques and they worked, why didn't they help him?
He barely made enough money from his writings to cover expenses...kinda strange for a guy that wrote "From Poverty To Power" isn't it?
Of course maybe he didn't want fame or wealth for himself, just others.
I can't pretend to know his mind.
So the book itself may be well worth a look.

New Age Quotes



Fear arises through identification with form, whether it be a material possession, a physical body, a social role, a self-image, a thought, or an emotion. It arises through unawareness of the formless inner dimension of consciousness or spirit, which is the essence of who you are. You are trapped in object consciousness, unaware of the dimension of inner space which alone is true freedom. - Eckhart Tolle

The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe. - Deepak Chopra

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. - Wayne Dyer


A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself. - James Allen

Every thought we think is creating our future. - Louise L Hayes

I am a Westerner. We're not going to change the West by going East. The East has a lot to teach us, but essentially it's like a mirror, saying, hey, can't you see what's here in your own religion, what are you, stupid? - Matthew Fox

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson

The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists. - Linda Goodman

When you talk about what you want and why you want it, there's usually less resistance within you than when you talk about what you want and how you're going to get it. When you pose questions you don't have answers for, like how, where, when, who, it sets up a contradictory vibration that slows everything down. - Esther Hicks

The Top Ten in Manifesting

The Top Ten in Manifesting

Who are the top ten most searched out manifestation " Gurus"?
The results may surprise you.....


Eckhart Tolle
Okay, with the Oprah Boost, that one really didn't surprise me much.
First book, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, 1999

Deepak Chopra
Kinda surprising since in today's short attention span world, he really doesn't seem to do a lot of PR.
First book, Creating Health, 1987.

Sylvia Browne
Really? Do some research on the person before believing everything she says.
First book: Adventures of a Psychic, 1990.

Edgar Cayce
I really bounce back and forth on him. I have seen some of his cures work, but I know a lot of his predictions failed.

Amazed at this one actually. But "As a Man Thinketh", (1902) is still one of the benchmarks in manifestation writing.

Matthew Fox
First book: On Becoming a Musical, Mystical Bear: Spirituality American Style (1972)? I guess that's why it was republished as Prayer: A Radical Response to Life in 2001.

Carlos Castaneda
If he were a boxer, he'd have been Carlos "Controversy" Castaneda. So many things revolving around his later life and death.
First book: The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, 1968.

James Allen - As a Man Thinketh

James Allen - As a Man Thinketh


James Allen (born November 28, 1864 in Leicester, England - died 1912) was a philosophical writer of British nationality, known for his inspirational books and poetry.

Allen was 15 when his father, a businessman, was robbed and murdered. He left school to work full-time in several British manufacturing firms to help support the family. He later married Lily L. Allen and became an executive secretary for a large company. At age 38, inspired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, he retired from employment. Allen — along with his wife and their daughter, Nohra — moved to a small cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, England to pursue a simple life of contemplation. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works. He also edited and published a magazine, "The Light of Reason".

Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.

Allen's most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person.

Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name, "The Epoch".
