by

Mulford

This book is timeless and
immediately relevant. Anyone in pursuit of answers about how life works
and/or seeking a practical spiritual framework, Prentice
Mulford resonates beautifully.
Prentice
Mulford wrote this book in 1889, long before more well-known,
contemporary authors began writing about the power of thought and the
Law of Attraction. Despite being over 100 years old, this is a powerful
book on thought.
Mulford explains we have, in effect, two minds: the mind of the body
and the mind of the spirit. The mind of the body is limited and fights
change. It thinks things must always be the way they've always been.
The mind of the spirit trusts in the Supreme Power which made all
things and knows that anything is possible if you believe.
Long before the law of attraction became widely known, Mulford talked
about the fact that what we talk about and think about is what we
attract to ourselves. He explains that if a group of people talk about
disease or suffering, they will eventually bring disease and suffering
to themselves in some form. He also notes that the surest way for a
woman to become ugly is to be discontented, cross, complaining and
envious of others. He therefore encourages the reader to call on the
help of the Supreme Power to get into the thought current of things
that are healthy, natural, strong and beautiful, and leave the negative
thinking behind.
A Classic Work on The Law of Attraction by one of
the pioneers of the New Thought Movement.

Readers who are
interested in an author's writings naturally like to know the main
facts of his life, so it may be briefly stated here that Prentice
Mulford was born at Long Island, U.S.A, in 1834, and died in 1891.
After a life, not without some adventures, during which he was engaged
in such varied pursuits as mining, school- teaching, and finally
journalism, he retired from work with a scanty fortune. Five years
afterwards he passed peacefully away without apparent illness or pain,
having just started on a cruise alone in his canoe.
It was during these five years, that he concentrated his attention on
the Spiritual Laws, and published his thoughts about them. To many
these thoughts may seem dreams; to others they are priceless truths. To
criticise his ideas and assertions is not our wish here, though it
would not be difficult to point out discrepancies and inconsistences
which, however, do not affect the value of his general teaching.
That he is a wise teacher and no dogmatist is apparent from his own
words: "In the spiritual life every person is his or her own
discoverer, and you need not grieve if your discoveries are not
believed by others. It is not your business to push on, find more and
increase individual happiness."
To him, any rate, is due the credit of having been a pioneer in the
thought which is now influencing people throughout the world, and his
influence is very apparent in the writings of all teachers of the same
school who followed him.

Prentice Mulford's essays
embody a particular philosophy, and represent a peculiar phase of
insight into the mystery which surrounds man. The essays were the work,
as the insight was the gift, of a man who owed nothing to books,
perhaps not much to what is ordinarily meant by observation, and
everything or nearly everything to reflection nourished by contact with
nature. To many his thoughts may seem but dreams; to others they are
priceless truths.
From an anonymous reviewer:
This beautifully
expressed work has become a kind of bible for me. Open it at any page
when you are troubled and just read the message it has for you. Written
by a "new age" thinker long before this kind of thought had become
fashionable - it illustrates the strength and power of mind and word.
Anything is possible, it says, if only we can get out of the way of our
own preconceived ideas and prejudices. A beautiful combination of
lightness and depth and truly a book to treasure.
