(10 points) With its theme that “Mind is the master weaver,” creating our inner character and outer circumstances，the book As a Man Thinking by James Allen is an in-depth exploration of the central idea of self-help writing. (1)Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption we all share-that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts-and reveal its erroneous nature. Because most of us believe that mind is separate from matter，we think that thoughts can be hidden and made powerless; this allows us to think one way and act another. However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind, and (2) while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone，in reality we are continually faced with a question: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that? “ Since desire and will are damaged by the presence of thoughts that do not accord with desire，Allen concluded: “We do not attract what we want. but what we are.” Achievement happens because you as a person embody the external achievement; you don’t “get” success but become it. There is no gap between mind and matter. |
