The Shining Gateway

James Allen was a British philosophical writer and poet and a pioneer of the self-help movement. At the turn of the 20th century, he was one of the most popular writers on spirituality, his many books comforting millions of readers with their simple, unpretentious wisdom about living a joyful life.

This book is one of Allen's deepest works, dealing with fundamental principles of the human experience. It is is a guide to meditation and the use of the power of positive thinking. Compiled after his death, it covers topics such as actions and motives, dealing with temptation, religion, and more.

“Be watchful, fearless, faithful, patient, pure:
By earnest meditation sound the depths
Profound of life, and scale the heights sublime
Of Love and Wisdom. He who does not find
The Way of Meditation cannot reach
Emancipation and enlightenment” –James Allen
