DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 24th December 2013 “It would be a distinct advantage to the Cause of Truth, of the Wisdom of all Prophets, if the story of the origin and development of the Christian festival were to be known by all. The Church Fathers of the fourth century proclaimed the 25th of December as the day for celebrating this festival. It is not the … Continue reading “It is not the birthday of Jesus Christ…”
DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 23rd December 2013 “Nor do the modern Kabalists seem to be aware of the fact, that the Kabalah as it now stands, with its more than revised texts, its additions made to apply to the New as much as to the Old Testament, its numerical language recomposed so as to apply to both, and its crafty veiling, is no longer able … Continue reading “The Kabalah can never divulge the whole truth…”
DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 27th September 2013 “Capital punishment is both useless and injurious. It is as great an injustice to the world of beings left unexecuted as to the one so violently sent out of life. They used to kill men in England for stealing a ten-penny nail or a loaf of bread, but thieves and thieving did not lessen. Murders have not decreased. … Continue reading “Capital punishment is both useless and injurious…”
DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 26th September 2013 “Once Theosophy and its principles are known, it will be demonstrated that our philosophy is not only a “close relative of modern science,” but its forbear, though greatly transcending it in logic; and that its “metaphysics” is vaster, more beautiful and more powerful than any emanating from a dogmatic cult. It is the metaphysics of Nature in her … Continue reading “The first law of the Sacred Science…”
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…”
DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 19th September 2013 “The One Self appears only to be divided among the creatures; in reality, It is not divided at all. Each being is That in his essential nature. In It is the foundation of all power; in It lies the power of unfolding, of evolution, which makes possible for each being – representing one ray of that One Life … Continue reading “In the midst of a great and silent evolution…”
DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 15th September 2013 “The civilized man cannot be guided by fear or superstition, but reason may take hold of him. Theosophy being not only practicable but also reasonable as well as just, its doctrines are destined to be those of the civilized man. They will gradually drive out the time-worn shibboleths of the theologian and the scientist, giving the people of … Continue reading “Spread, explain, and illustrate the laws of Karma and Reincarnation…”
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…”
DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 11th September 2013 “This coming into life over and over again cannot be avoided by the ordinary man because Lower Manas is still bound by Desire, which is the preponderating principle at the present period. Being so influenced by Desire Manas is continually deluded while in the body, and being thus deluded is unable to prevent the action upon it of … Continue reading “Man is really a thinker and made of thought…”
DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 10th September 2013 “If they [i.e. Theosophists] do their whole duty, the progress of materialism, the increase of dangerous self-indulgence, and the tendency towards spiritual suicide can be checked. The theory of vicarious atonement has brought about its inevitable reaction: only the knowledge of karma can offset it. The pendulum has swung from the extreme of blind faith towards the extreme … Continue reading “Only the knowledge of karma can offset it…”
