James Allen (1864 – 1912)
“I looked around upon the world and saw
that it was shadowed by sorrow and
scorched by the fierce fires of suffering.
And I looked for the cause. I looked around,
but I could not find it. I looked in books, but
I could not find it. I looked within, and found
there both the cause the self-made nature
of that cause. I looked again, and deeper,
and found the remedy. I found one Law, the
Law of Love; one Life, the life of adjustment
to that Law; one Truth, the Truth of a
conquered mind and a quiet and obedient
heart.
And I dreamed of writing books which
would help men and women, whether rich
or poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or
unworldly, to find within themselves the
source of all success, all happiness,
accomplishment, all truth. And the dream
remained with me, and at last became
substantial; and now I send forth these
books into the world on a mission of healing
and blessedness, knowing that they cannot
fail to reach the homes and hearts of those
who are waiting and ready to receive them.
Editor’s Preface
(From 'James Allen's Book of Meditations',
1913)
James Allen may truly be called the
Prophet of Meditation. In an age of strife,
hurry, religious controversy, heated
arguments, ritual and ceremony, he came
with his message of Meditation, calling men
away from the din and strife of tongues into
the peaceful paths of stillness within their
own souls, where the Light that lighteth
every man that cometh into the world ever
burns steadily and surely for all who will
turn their weary eyes from the strife without
to the quiet within. Many of the Meditations
were written as he came down from the
Cairn in the early morning, where he spent
those precious hours alone with God while
the world slept. Others are gleaned from
his many writings, published and
unpublished, and are arranged for daily
readings at his request, and, we believe,
under his spiritual guidance. The book
must ever be a stronghold of Spiritual Truth
and blessing to all who read it, and
especially to those who use it for daily
meditation. Its great power lies in that it is
the very heart of a good man who lived
every word he wrote. The beautiful half-
tone portrait is a speaking likeness of the
Author. It was taken only six weeks before
his translation, and has not been published
before.
We are indebted to Messrs. Putnam’s Sons
(London and New York), and to Messrs.
Wm. Rider and Son, Limited (London), for
their cordial expressions of pleasure that
some of the Meditations should be culled
from the books published by them, viz., The
Mastery of Destiny, and Above Life’s
Turmoil (Putnam), and From Passion to
Peace, and Man : King of Mind, Body, and
Circumstance (Rider).

He Who Does Not Find
The way of Meditation cannot reach
Emancipation and enlightenment.
But thou wilt find the way of Holy Thought;
With mind made calm and steadfast, thou
will see The Permanent amid the mutable,
The Truth eternal in the things that change:
Thou wilt behold the Perfect Law: Cosmos
From Chaos rises when the conquered self
Lies underneath man’s heel: Love be thy
strength; Look on the passion-tortured
multitudes,
And have compassion on them; know their
pain By thy long sorrow ended. Thou wilt
come
