“The view a genuine, impartial Occultist would take…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 26th June 2013 “The student of Occultism must belong to no special creed or sect, yet he is bound to show outward respect to every creed and faith, if he would become an Adept of the Good Law.

“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. What is human mind in its higher aspect, whence comes it, if it is not a portion of the essence – and, in some rare cases of incarnation, the very essence – of a higher … Continue reading “A living god within man’s physical shell…”

“There is never any need to desire…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 10th June 2013 “Desire … with regard to the personality, is the cause of all sin, sorrow, and suffering. Such desire is based on selfish thought; it is not what others desire; it heeds not any other urge than its own. The unfulfilled desires, it is, that hurt us; yet do the fulfilled desires give us happiness? Never, for so soon … Continue reading “There is never any need to desire…”

“The fate of the suicide is horrible…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 9th June 2013 “The fate of the suicide is horrible in general.

There the remorseless law, which acts really for his good, compels him to … Continue reading “The fate of the suicide is horrible…”

“Esoteric Philosophy is the source and foundation of all knowledge…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Saturday 8th June 2013 “Esoteric Philosophy is sui generis. It is the source and foundation of all knowledge. It is not a collection of doctrines culled from various religious creeds – it is the source of every true idea in all faiths, new or old. It transcends modern science inasmuch as it covers a far vaster field than that of matter, and … Continue reading “Esoteric Philosophy is the source and foundation of all knowledge…”

“The ultimate state of perfect Unconsciousness…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 7th June 2013 “The great Advaitee thinkers of India have extended the same reasoning to other states of consciousness, and came to the conclusion that the various conditions of the Ego and the Non-Ego were but the appearances of one and the same entity – the ultimate state of unconsciousness. This entity is neither matter nor spirit; it is neither Ego … Continue reading “The ultimate state of perfect Unconsciousness…”

“I do not think Western Esotericism is worthy of the name…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 6th June 2013 “It was thought by H.P.B. that true Eastern Occultism was the primeval system and hence better than the Western. For the Western is all overgrown with the weeds sown by Judaism in the beginning and mediaeval Christianity in the end. So it will be found that although at bottom Western Occultism has the same doctrines as the Eastern, … Continue reading “I do not think Western Esotericism is worthy of the name…”

“The Self of matter and the SELF of Spirit can never meet…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 5th June 2013 “Eternal life’s pure waters, clear and crystal, with the monsoon tempest’s muddy torrents cannot mingle. “Heaven’s dew-drop glittering in the morn’s first sun-beam within the bosom of the lotus, when dropped on earth becomes a piece of clay; behold, the pearl is now a speck of mire. “Strive with thy thoughts unclean before they overpower thee. Use them … Continue reading “The Self of matter and the SELF of Spirit can never meet…”

“There are such things as metamathematics and metageometry…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 4th June 2013 “From the very beginning of Aeons – in time and space in our Round and Globe – the Mysteries of Nature (at any rate, those which it is lawful for our races to know) were recorded by the pupils of those same now invisible “heavenly men,” in geometrical figures and symbols. The keys thereto passed from one generation … Continue reading “There are such things as metamathematics and metageometry…”

“There is only an ETERNAL NOW…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 3rd June 2013 “Plato was right: ideas rule the world; and, as men’s minds will receive new ideas, laying aside the old and effete, the world will advance: mighty revolutions will spring from them; creeds and even powers will crumble before their onward march crushed by the irresistible force. It will be just as impossible to resist their influx, when the … Continue reading “There is only an ETERNAL NOW…”
