For those who prefer an actual printed book, Allen's collected works are in an 800 pp book titled Mind is the Master:

Man, by his ignorance, his selfishness, his darkness of mind, is the marker of sorrow and the cause of catastrophe. His sufferings are indications that the Divine Law has been arrested, and is now asserting itself. The tragic darkness of his life is the outcome of that same Justice from which his joyful light proceeds. If every suicide, every ruin, every woe, even every accident, could be traced to its original cause in the moral constitution of things, its justice would be found to be without blemish.
And that which applies to individuals applies in the same way to nations. Widespread selfishness leads inevitably to widespread disaster; national corruption is followed by wholesale catastrophe, and by national disaster and ruin. And not alone poverty, disease, and famine, but even earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and all such external happenings, would be found, in their original cause, to be intimately related to men’s moral life. That external accidents have a moral cause is plainly seen in the case of violent persons bringing about fatal accidents to themselves through folly and recklessness. |
Thank You!! I have been letting others of the authors from the New Thought time as well!!!! I have moved from James Allen to Thomas Troward recently. Another teacher from that time! Look into The Master Key System by Chas. Haanel. All the NT books are in public domain now!

James Allen has such a clear emphasis on self-sacrifice and altruism that I do not think he belongs in the narrower New Thought arena. |

From The Life Triumphant |
From The Path to Prosperity
If thou would‘st right the world, And banish all its evils and its woes, Make its wild places bloom, And its drear deserts blossom as the rose,- Then right thyself.
If thou would‘st turn the world From its long, lone captivity in sin, Restore all broken hearts, Slay grief, and let sweet consolation in,- Turn thou thyself. If thou would‘st cure the world Of its long sickness, end its grief and pain; Bring in all-healing joy, And give to the afflicted rest again,- Then cure thyself. If thou would‘st wake the world Out of its dream of death and dark‘ning strife, Bring it to Love and Peace, And Light and brightness of immortal Life,- Wake thou thyself. |
