"AS
THE HEART, SO IS THE LIFE.
The
within is ceaselessly becoming the without. Nothing remains unrevealed.
That which is hidden is but for a time; it ripens and comes forth
at last. Seed, tree, blossom, and fruit are the fourfold order of
the universe. From the state of a man's heart proceed the conditions
of his life. His thoughts blossom into deeds; and his deeds bear the
fruitage of character and destiny.
"Life is ever unfolding from within, and revealing itself to
the light, and thoughts engendered in the heart at last reveal themselves
in words, actions, and things accomplished. As the fountain from the
hidden spring, so flows forth a man's life the secret recesses of
his heart...."

from Out from the Heart
THE
CLASSIC WORKS OF JAMES ALLEN
have inspired millions around the world to lead more successful and
effective lives.
"I
LOOKED
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 I found both cause and the self-made nature of the
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, all 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."
