The Heavenly Life
By James Allen

Narrated by Gregory Sheridan

The Heavenly Life is one of James Allen's lesser-known but most aphoristic works. His basic thesis is that total absorption in the eternal Now is the true path to discovering the divine centre within oneself. The past is a dream and the future is just a speculation: man can only act and live in the present. He can change his world only by changing himself.

The author describes the state to be achieved by this process of personal investigation thus: "The perfect Beauty lies concealed within, and will one day reveal itself to the full-orbed light of Heaven. Seeing men thus, we stand where evil is not, and where the eye beholds only good."
