Book Description

Excerpt from From Passion to Peace or the Pathway of the Pure Sion, Aspiration, and Temptation, repre sent the common human life, with its pas sion, pathos, and tragedy; the last three parts, Tramceudence, Beatitude, and Peace, present the Divine Life - calm, wise, and beautiful - of the sage and Saviour. The middle part, Transmutation, is the tran sitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and re nunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that'perfeet Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace. James allen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
