The Way of Peace (1907) which reflects more accurately his New Thought Movement affiliations, referencing as it does Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity. The book is essentially a treatise on the importance of meditation as a pathway to divinity. Whatever we mediate upon, Allen explains, we become. if you mediate upon that which is selfish and debasing you will ultimately become selfish and debased. Whereas if you mediate upon that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish. James Allen's The way of Peace offers a path to personal power and fulfillment through spritual meditations and the divine. Collected here are seven essays and one poem that guide the reader along the path to inner peace.
