<p><strong>The Shining Gateway is a guide to meditation and the use of the power of positive thinking. </strong></p><p>Students of the works of James Allen all over the world will welcome with joy another book from his able pen. In this work we find the Prophet of Meditation in one of his deepest and yet most lucid expositions. How wonderfully he deals with fundamental principles! Here the reader will find no vague statement of generalities for the writer enters with tender reverence into every detail of human experience. It is as though he came back to The Shining Gateway and standing there he reviewed all the way up which his own feet have traveled passing over no temptation that is common to man; knowing that the obstacles that barred his ascending pathway or the clouds that at times obscured his vision are the common experiences of all those who have set their faces towards the heights of Blessed Vision. As we read his words now he seems to stand and beckon to us saying Come on my fellow Pilgrims; it is straight ahead to the Shining Gateway; I have blazed the track for you. In sending forth this another posthumous volume from his pen we have no doubt but that it will help many and many an aspiring soul up to the heights until at last they too stand within The Shining Gateway.</p>
