The Connection Between Your Mind and Your Material

In As a Man Thinketh, James Allen says that thoughts are things. And in this book The Path of Prosperity, he goes a step further and teaches you the spiritual and deep connection between your attitude and your prosperity.

The book emphasis the importance of having positive, pure and powerful character traits (enriching your soul), as they are the corner stone to achieve true prosperity in life. One such is to be helpful to others, in losing yourself in the service of others, to paraphrase James Allen.

In James Allen’s trademark style, it is about what you have thought and done up until now that have given you your current reality and degree of prosperity. Since you can change and manage your thoughts and action, you of course can change the degree of your prosperity.

This book is an important forerunner to current works like The Secret.

Contents of the Book:

1. The Lesson of Evil
2. The World a Reflex of Mental States
3. The Way Out of Undesirable Conditions
4. The Silent Power of Thought: Controlling and Directing One’s Forces
5. The Secret of Health, Success and Power

7. The Realization of Prosperity

Some Insights From the Book For You

1. You desire a larger and more sanitary residence. Then you must fit yourself for such a residence by first of all making your cottage as far as possible a little paradise. Keep it spotlessly clean. Make it look as pretty and sweet as your limited means will allow. Cook your plain food with all care, and arrange your humble table as tastefully as you possibly can.

2. To be patient under all circumstances, and to accept all conditions as necessary factors in your training, is to rise superior to all painful conditions, and to overcome them with an overcoming which is sure, and which leaves no fear of their return, for by the power of obedience to law they are utterly slain.

3. Your true wealth is your stock of virtue, and your true power the uses to which you put it. Rectify your heart, and you will rectify your life. Lust, hatred, anger, vanity, pride, covetousness, self-indulgence, self-seeking, obstinacy,- all these are poverty and weakness; whereas love, purity, gentleness, meekness, compassion, generosity, self-forgetfulness, and self-renunciation,- all these are wealth and power.

4. The old, materialistic belief that a man is what his body makes him, is rapidly passing away, and is being replaced by the inspiring belief that man is superior to his body, and that his body is what he makes it by the power of thought.

About the Author:

James Allen (28 November 1864 – 24 January 1912) was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of the self-help movement. His best known work, As a Man Thinketh, has been mass-produced since its publication in 1903. It has been a source of inspiration to motivational and self-help authors.

In 1903 Allen published his third and most famous book As a Man Thinketh. Loosely based on the Biblical passage of Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," the small work eventually became read around the world and brought Allen posthumous fame as one of the pioneering figures of modern inspirational thought.

Allen published his own spiritual magazine, The Light of Reason, later retitled The Epoch.

His wife continued publishing the magazine under the name The Epoch. Lily Allen summarised her husband's literary mission in the preface to one of his posthumously published manuscripts, Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success saying:

"He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing; but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice."
