Читать книгу From Poverty to Power - Джеймс Аллен - Страница 7

Foreword

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—present the Divine Life, calm, wise and beautiful, of the sage and Saviour. 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.
