Although the practice of meditation has only caught on in mainstream Western culture within the past several decades, it has been part of many religious traditions, particularly those originating in the Far East, for thousands of years. James Allen, an early Western champion of meditative prayer, provides a comprehensive introduction to meditation that is suitable for newcomers to the practice.
"I looked around upon the world, and saw that it was shadowed by sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked for the cause. I looked around, but could not find it; I looked in books, but could not find it; I looked within, and found there both the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy. I found one Law, the Law of Love; one Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the truth of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart." James Allen's inquiry within became The Path of Prosperity, first published in 1901 and still valued today as a guiding light for people to find within themselves the source of success, happiness, and accomplishment.

It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that – "They themselves are makers of themselves" - by virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.
