From Passion to Peace

The First Three Parts of this book Passion Aspiration and Temptation represent the common human life with its passion pathos and tragedy. The last three parts Transcendence Beatitude and Peace represents the Divine Life-calm wise and beautiful-of the sage and Savior. The middle part Transmutation is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline denial and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace. James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of self-help movement. Allens practical philosophy for successful living has awakened millions to the discovery that they themselves are makers of themselves. Allen insists that it is within the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness.
