Quote

Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.

It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel.
James Allen
Image
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.
James Allen
Image
The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. From the state of a man's heart doth proceed the conditions of his life his thoughts blossom into deeds, and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is a mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace.
James Allen
Image
Circumstance does not make the man it reveals him to himself.
James Allen
Image
When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.
James Allen
Image
Man, as a spiritual being, cannot be maintained in strength, uprightness, and peace except if he periodically withdraw himself from the outer world of perishable things and reach inwardly towards the abiding and imperishable realities.
James Allen
Image
The dreamers are the saviors of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers.
