From Passion to Peace, by James Allen. Narrated by Gregory Sheridan.
The first three parts of this work, “Passion”, “Aspiration”, and “Temptation”, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, “Transcendence”, “Beatitude”, and “Peace”, represent 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 that bestows perfect peace.
