"e;THE unceasing change, the insecurity, and the misery of life make it necessary to find some basis of certainty on which to rest if happiness and peace of mind are to be maintained. All science, philosophy, and religion are some many efforts in search of this permanent basis; all interpretations on the universe, whether from the material or spiritual side, are so many attempts to formulate some unifying principle or principles by which to reconcile the fluctuations and contradictions of life."e; - James Allen

"e;The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the schoolboy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men."e; - James Allen

"e;WHEN A MAN enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears. Every object is seen, and there is no danger of being hurt. To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts-their disappointments, perplexities, sorrows and pains-are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are dissolved, all things are seen in their true place and proportion, and henceforth the man walks open-eyed and unhurt, in the clear light of wise comprehension."e; - James AllenJames Allen was a British philosophical writer and poet and a pioneer of the self-help movement.

Der (biblische) Ausspruch "Wie man im Herzen denkt, so ist man", beschreibt nicht nur das ganze Wesen eines Menschen, sondern ist so umfassend, daß er alle Bedingungen und Umstände seines Lebens mit einschließt.Alles, was ein Mensch erreicht und was er nicht erreicht, ist das direkte Ergebnis seiner eigenen Gedanken. Die Schwäche und Stärke eines Menschen, seine Reinheit und Unreinheit sind seine eigenen und nicht die eines anderen. Sie werden von ihm selbst herbeigeführt und nicht von einem anderen, und sie können auch nur von ihm selbst verändert werden, und niemals von einem anderen. Sein Zustand ist ebenfalls sein eigener und nicht der eines anderen Menschen. Sein Leiden und sein Glück entwickeln sich von innen.Wie er denkt, so ist er - wie er weiterhin denkt, so bleibt er.

Die wichtigsten Dinge für ein gesundes Leben - und damit für ein wirklich glückliches und erfolgreiches Leben - sind die richtigen Prinzipien. Wenn man zu Beginn keine richtigen Prinzipien hat, folgen zunächst falsche Praktiken, die wiederum in ein verpfuschtes und elendes Leben münden. Die hier vorgestellten fünf Prinzipien sind fünf Übungen und fünf Wege zur Erreichung des Ziels. Es gibt ein altes Sprichwort und eine gute Regel, welche besagt: "Übung macht den Meister" - und wer sich die Weisheit, die diesen Prinzipien innewohnt, zu eigen machen will, darf sie nicht nur aussprechen, sie müssen seinem Herzen innewohnen. Um sie zu verstehen und um zu erhalten, was sie allein bewirken können, muß er nach ihnen handeln.

As a Man Thinketh is James Allen's third book, first published in 1903. In it, he details how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the thoughts which he thinks. He rises and falls in exact accordance with the character of the thoughts which he entertains. His environment is the result of what he has thought and done in the past, and his circumstances in the future are being shaped and built by his present desires, aspirations, thoughts and actions. He therefore who chooses and pursues a particular line of thought, consciously builds his own destiny.Part of the New Thought Movement, Allen reveals the secrets to having the most fulfilling existence possible, and it's easier than any of us could have imagined.

Since then, his insight, a cornerstone of New Age thought, has been rediscovered many times. "This little volume, the result of meditation and experience … 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.
