Books by James (La Trobe University Victoria) Allen

In Men and Systems James Allen addresses Divine Justice and its involvement in our walk through life. There is a system to the world and to life and by understanding this system we may all enjoy a more happy life. "Only in the unchangeable, the eternally true, is there permanent peace and safety. Resorting to this divine principle, abandoning all evil, and cling to good, we come to a knowledge and realization of that basis of certainty on which we can firmly stand through all life's changes; we have found the rock of ages and the refuge of the saints."James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of self-help movement. Allen's practical philosophy for successful living has awakened millions to the discovery that "they themselves are makers of themselves". Allen insists that it is within the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness.

1911. 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 vanishes, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrongdoing. As men learn to live rightly, learn to direct their forces and use their functions and faculties by the light of wisdom, the sum of life will be correctly done, and its mastery will put an end to all the problems of evil. To the wise, all such problems have ceased. Contents: Inner world of thoughts; Outer world of things; Habit: its slavery and its freedom; Bodily conditions; Poverty; Man's spiritual dominion; Conquest: not resignation.

"The First Three Parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life-calm, wise and beautiful-of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace."James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of self-help movement.
