“Such an avalanche of crude impurities and fables…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 24th September 2013 “Is the language of the Old Testament more pure or moral than the books of the Brahmans? Or any fables of the heathen world more blasphemous and ridiculous than Jehovah’s interview with Moses (Exodus xxxiii. 23)? Are any of the Pagan gods made to appear more fiendish than the same Jehovah in a score of passages? If the … Continue reading “Such an avalanche of crude impurities and fables…”

“All in Nature is an aspect of the One Element…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 17th September 2013 “There is one error which is commonly made, than which there can be no greater error in the views of an occultist. A division is made between what you call animate and inanimate objects, as if there could be such a thing as a perfectly inanimate object on earth! “In reality, even that which you call a dead … Continue reading “All in Nature is an aspect of the One Element…”

“The Root from which proceeds all manifestation…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Saturday 14th September 2013 “Parabrahm (the One Reality, the Absolute) is the field of Absolute Consciousness, i.e., that Essence which is out of all relation to conditioned existence, and of which conscious existence is a conditioned symbol. But once that we pass in thought from this (to us) Absolute Negation, duality supervenes in the contrast of Spirit (or consciousness) and Matter, Subject … Continue reading “The Root from which proceeds all manifestation…”

“The Golden Rule was not original with Jesus…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 6th September 2013 “In what particular does the jealous, wrathful, revengeful God of Israel resemble the unknown deity, the God of mercy preached by Jesus; – his Father who is in Heaven, and the Father of all humanity? This Father alone is the God of spirit and purity, and, to compare Him with the subordinate and capricious Sinaitic Deity is an … Continue reading “The Golden Rule was not original with Jesus…”

“It is only then that the Union with the Higher Self can take place…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 3rd September 2013 “The “Master” in the Sanctuary of our souls is “the Higher Self” – the divine spirit whose consciousness is based upon and derived solely (at any rate during the mortal life of the man in whom it is captive) from the Mind, which we have agreed to call the Human Soul (the “Spiritual Soul” being the vehicle of … Continue reading “It is only then that the Union with the Higher Self can take place…”

“The Kabbalah was entirely lost in the thirteenth century…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 2nd September 2013 “The Chaldean Kabbalah, moreover, the Book of Numbers, agrees perfectly with the eastern arrangement, and disagrees with the present orthodox Kabbalah in its diagrams. … Now, look here: I had a rabbi who had the real Book of Numbers – and there is another; I have only seen two in my life, and I don’t think there exist … Continue reading “The Kabbalah was entirely lost in the thirteenth century…”

“Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 31st July 2013 “Like the Universe itself, Science is ever becoming, and can never say, “I am that I am.” On the other hand, Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times. It may err in particulars; it can never become guilty of a mistake in questions of Universal laws, simply because that Science, justly referred to by philosophy as … Continue reading “Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times…”

“These material souls will begin to disintegrate…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 28th July 2013 “There are many distinct classes of “Elementaries” and “Elementals.” The highest of the former in intelligence and cunning are the so-called “terrestrial spirits.” Of these it must suffice to say, for the present, that they are the Larvae or shadows of those who have lived on earth, alike of the good and of the bad. They are the … Continue reading “These material souls will begin to disintegrate…”

“The rays of the eternal divine Mind…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 24th July 2013 “Manas is a “principle,” and yet it is an “Entity” and individuality or Ego.

“The real incarnating and permanent Spiritual Ego…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 21st July 2013 “I. Atma, the “Higher Self,” is neither your Spirit nor mine, but like sunlight shines on all. It is the universally diffused “divine principle,” and is inseparable from its one and absolute Meta-Spirit, as the sunbeam is inseparable from sunlight. “II.
