As a Man Thinketh. James Allen. New Thought. Occult

As a Man Thinketh. James Allen. New Thought. Occult
As a Man Thinketh. James Allen. New Thought. Occult

"As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen is a short, yet powerful read. A classic New Thought work.


As a Man Thinketh is a self-help book by James Allen, published in 1903. It was described by Allen as "... [dealing] with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. The price of the book is only one shilling, and it can be carried in the pocket." It was also described by Allen as "A book that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of thought."

Awakened Imagination. Neville Goddard. New Thought. Law of Assumption. Occult

Awakened Imagination. Neville Goddard. New Thought. Law of Assumption. Occult
Awakened Imagination. Neville Goddard. New Thought. Law of Assumption. Occult

Neville Goddard is, perhaps, my favorite of the New Thought authors. I'm enjoying "Awakened Imagination."


Certain words in the course of long use gather so many strange connotations that they almost cease to mean anything at all. Such a word is imagination. This word is made to serve all manner of ideas, some of them directly opposed to one another. Fancy, thought, hallucination, suspicion: indeed, so wide is its use and so varied its meanings, the word imagination has no status nor fixed significance. For example, we ask a man to “use his imagination,” meaning that his present outlook is too restricted and therefore not equal to the task. In the next breath we tell him that his ideas are “pure imagination," thereby implying that his ideas are unsound. We speak of a jealous or suspicious person as a “victim of his own imagination," meaning that his thoughts are untrue. A minute later we pay a man the highest tribute by describing him as a “man of imagination." Thus the word imagination has no denite meaning. (...) There is only one thing in the world. Imagination, and all our deformations of it. - Taken from "Awakened Imagination" written by Neville Goddard
