AS A MAN THINKETH JAMES ALLEN
96 the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating
97 toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and
98 pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or
99 later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the
100 director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of
101 thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy,
102 how the thought-forces and mind-elements operate in the
103 shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny.
104 Thought and character are one, and as character can only
105 manifest and discover itself through environment and
106 circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life will
107 always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state.
108 This does not mean that a man's circumstances at any given
109 time are an indication of his entire character, but that those
110 circumstances are so intimately connected with some vital
111 thought-element within himself that, for the time being, they
112 are indispensable to his development.
