“Passing through and around us as if through empty space…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 7th July 2013 “From Gods to men, from Worlds to atoms, from a star to a rush-light, from the Sun to the vital heat of the meanest organic being — the world of Form and Existence is an immense chain, whose links are all connected.

“The reincarnation of the same spiritual individuality in a long series of personalities…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 4th July 2013 “Compare this blind faith with the philosophical belief, based on every reasonable evidence and life-experience, in Karma-Nemesis, or the Law of Retribution. This Law – whether Conscious or Unconscious – predestines nothing and no one.

“The supreme energy resides in the Buddhi…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 1st July 2013 “You know our motto, and that its practical application has erased the word “impossible” from the occultist’s vocabulary.

“The mystery of the moon…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 30th June 2013 “Modern Theosophy, coming on the field as the uniter of all religions by explaining the symbols and traditions of each, is not exempt from the mystery of the moon.

“Those who believe in Karma have to believe in destiny…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 28th June 2013 “Yes; “our destiny is written in the stars!” Only, the closer the union between the mortal reflection MAN and his celestial PROTOTYPE, the less dangerous the external conditions and subsequent reincarnations – which neither Buddhas nor Christs can escape.

“A living god within man’s physical shell…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 25th June 2013 “Between man and the animal – whose Monads (or Jivas) are fundamentally identical – there is the impassable abyss of Mentality and Self-consciousness.
