Religious Thought

Western science has operated for centuries on the assumption that we can understand the universe without understanding ourselves.

But the job won't be done with "massive injections of the new consciousness"; we cannot democratize the sacred by cheapening its demands.

It’s a mosaic of ideas and emotional revelations that encourages the listener to forge their own path and take a conscious ownership of both their listening experience and their beliefs.

From the Introduction: The hand of eternal progress is brushing the cobwebs from the corridors of time and is again revealing to the human race the mysteries of being. As there is "nothing new under the sun", the searchlight of Truth is bringing to light only what has been known to the few in all generations. The time has now come when the few must become the many. The whole world, from the least to the greatest, must know the Truth, so that man may understand the great laws that govern his life.

First published in 1903, James Allen's As a Man Thinketh has become an inspirational classic. A beautifully thought-provoking work, Allen's contribution to the New Thought Movement continues to encourage each of us to reflect on our thoughts and to work to regain possession of them. Using Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he", as inspiration, Allen describes how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the very thoughts which he thinks. "A man is literally what he thinks."

تقدّم الكونتيسة دي سيجورفي هذا الكتاب مذكرات فلسفيّة وأخلاقيّة على لسان حمار، وقد قام بترجمته إلى العربيّة حسين الجمل.

في الكتاب محاولةٌ لتغيير النظرة إلى الحمار ونشاطه الذهني، فقد قُلبت الموازين، وصار الحمار كائنًا ناطقًا، يشغله همٌّ واحد ألا وهو الوصول إلى درجة الإحترام في نظر الإنسان، ونفي صفة الغباء والكسل عنه.

تقوم فكرة الكتاب على إفتراض أن الحمار يستطيع النطق، فماذا سوف يقدّم كي ينال تقدير الإنسان، بل إنه يتعدّاه إلى امتلاكه الناحية الفلسفيّة في طرح أفكاره، حيث يقدم حلولًا واقتراحاتٍ لمشاكل البشر وقضاياهم، وإيجاد السّبل المنطقيّة في التصرّفات والسلوكيّات التي يقدمها.
