The Divine Companion

By James Allen

Narrated by Gregory Sheridan and Simon Paxton

The Divine Companion was the last work completed by James Allen and was published posthumously in 1919. Of the book, Allen himself wrote: "It is the story of my soul, and should be read last of all my books, so that the student may understand and find my message in its pages. Therefore hold it back until you have published everything else."

The book is divided into three sections: The Divine Companion, The Divine Dialogue and The Divine Messages. The first section is an exploration of various aspects of truth. The Divine Dialogue is a conversation between a master and a disciple about the spiritual path, and examines many topics featured in Allen's dramatic poem, Eolaus. The third section contains six prophecies, three exhortations, three instructions and, finally, a three-part Discourse Concerning The Way of Truth.

Allen's editor, his wife Lily, observed of The Divine Companion: "It cannot be said of this book that James Allen wrote it at any particular time or in any one year, for he was engaged in it over many years and those who have eyes to see and hearts to understand will find in its pages the spiritual history of his life."
