1 圍繞“思維意識是編織大師，它創造了我們內在性格與外部環境”這一主題，詹姆斯•愛倫《思考的人》一書深入地探索了自助類讀物的真諦。

　　【參考譯文】

　　1 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.

　　Part 02

　　1 愛倫的貢獻在于，他拿出“我們并不是機器人，所以能控制自己的思想”這一公認的假設，并揭示了其錯誤所在。

　　2 因為我們大都相信意識是獨立于物質存在的，所以我們認為能夠將思想隱藏、并使之失去效力;這使得我們能夠這樣想卻那樣做。

　　3 但愛倫認為，潛意識和意識產生的作用一樣大。

　　4 而且，盡管我們或許可以單憑意識來維系“控制”這種錯覺，現實中我們還是不斷要面對一個問題：“我為什么不能讓自己做這個或實現那個?”

　　【參考譯文】

　　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.

　　2 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.

　　3 However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind.

　　4 And 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? ”

　　Part 03

　　1 由于愿望和意志會因為那些與愿望不一致的思想的出現而遭到破壞，愛倫做出如下總結：“所以我們所吸引的不是我們所想，而是我們本身所是。”

　　2 成功降臨是因為作為一個人你本身就是這種外部成功的體現;你不是“獲得”成功，而是“變得”成功。

　　3 “意識”和“物質”之間沒有間隔。

　　【參考譯文】

　　1 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.”

　　2 Achievement happens because you as a person embody the external achievement; you don’t “ get” success but become it.

　　3 There is no gap between mind and matter.
