From Passion to Peace - Allen, James

. .

Résumé :
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. Allen's 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.

Biographie:
James Allen (1864-1912) was a British writer of inspirational, philosophical, and New Thought literature, best known for As a Man Thinketh, one of the most influential short works in the history of modern self-help. Born in Leicester, England, Allen developed a body of writing centred on thought, character, conduct, serenity, and the moral law of cause and effect. His books helped shape the early twentieth-century literature of mind power, personal responsibility, spiritual discipline, practical idealism, and inner transformation.Allen's work is marked by brevity, clarity, and a serious moral tone. Rather than presenting success as mere ambition or material advancement, he treated outward conditions as inseparable from inward life, arguing that peace, strength, and achievement arise from disciplined thought and upright character. Works such as As a Man Thinketh, From Poverty to Power, The Path of Prosperity, Out from the Heart, From Passion to Peace, and Above Life's Turmoil remain widely read by students of New Thought, classic self-help, meditation, personal growth, spiritual philosophy, and the literature of positive thinking....
