The Way of Peace (Annotated)

James Allen

Sinopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: James Allen, the philosopher who pioneered the self-help genre


Originally published in 1907, "The Way of Peace" is a New Thought book written by British philosophical writer James Allen, one of the bestselling and respected self-help authors ever.
Although Allen is more widely known for his "As a Man Thinketh," it is the lesser known "The Way of Peace" which reflects more accurately his New Thought Movement affiliations, referencing as it does Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.

"The Way of Peace" is essentially a treatise on the importance of meditation as a 'pathway to divinity'. Whatever we meditate upon, Allen explains, we become. If you meditate upon ' that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased'. Whereas if you meditate upon 'that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish'.

"The Way of Peace" is your guide to the power of meditation; self and truth; the acquirement of spiritual power; the realization of selfless love; entering into the infinite; saints, sages, and saviours; the law of service; and the realization of perfect peace.

No Room for Small Dreams -...

Shimon Peres

In 1934, eleven-year-old Shimon Peres emigrated to the land of Israel from his native Poland, leaving behind an extended family who would later be murdered in the Holocaust. Few back then would have predicted that this young man would eventually become one of the towering figures of the twentieth century. Peres would indeed go on to serve the new nation as prime minister, president, foreign minister, and the head of several other ministries. He was central to the establishment of the Israeli Defense Forces and the defense industry that would provide the young nation with a robust deterrent power. He was crucial to launching Israel’s nuclear energy program and to the creation of its high-tech “Start Up Nation” revolution. His refusal to surrender to conventional wisdom and political conventions helped save the Israeli economy and prompted some of the most daring military operations in history, among them the legendary Operation Entebbe. And yet, as important as his role in creating and deploying Israel’s armed forces was, his stunning transition from hawk to dove–with its accompanying unwavering commitment to peace–made him one of the globe’s most recognized, honored, and admired statesmen.  
In this, his final work, finished only weeks before his passing, Peres offers a long-awaited examination of the crucial turning points in Israeli history through the prism of having been a decision maker and eyewitness. Told with the frankness of someone aware this would likely be his final statement, No Room for Small Dreams spans decades and events, but as much as it is about what happened, it is about why it happened. Examining pivotal moments in Israel’s rise, Peres explores what makes for a great leader, how to make hard choices in a climate of uncertainty and distress, the challenges of balancing principles with policies, and the liberating nature of imagination and unpredicted innovation. In doing so, he not only charts a better path forward for his beloved country but provides deep and universal wisdom for younger generations who seek to lead–be it in politics, business, or the broader service of making our planet a safer, more peaceful, and just place.

State of the Union 1987

Ronald Reagan

The 1987 State of the Union Address delivered January 27, 1987, in the 200th anniversary year of the U.S. Constitution, notes dramatic improvements in the inflation rate, interest rates, housing starts, and the unemployment rate. Reagan regrets the Iran-Contra controversy and promises to get to the bottom of it and take whatever action is called for. 
Though the Soviets transferred $75 billion in weapons to client-states like Syria, Vietnam, Cuba, Libya, Angola, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Nicaragua, the Congress cut administration requests for security assistance and defense. There “is no surer way to lose freedom than to lose our resolve.” As President Truman said: “International communism seeks to crush and undermine and destroy the independence of the Americas. We cannot let that happen here.” 
Our Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI, “is the most positive and promising defense program we have undertaken. It's the path, for both sides, to a safer future -- a system that defends human life instead of threatening it.” 
We support free trade and “expanding peaceful commerce across the world.” We remain opposed as ever to protectionism…” 
The “federal deficit is outrageous.” We need “a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget”. We need “a line-item veto so we can carve out the boondoggles and pork…” “We have deficits because big government spends too much.” 
The U.S. Constitution “grew out of the most fundamental inspiration of our existence: that we are here to serve Him by living free -- that living free releases in us the noblest of impulses and the best of our abilities; that we would use these gifts for good and generous purposes and would secure them not just for ourselves and for our children but for all mankind.”
