“An incorporeal Principle, not to be blasphemously anthropomorphized…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 18th July 2013 “Polytheism – once man claims the right of divine interference on his behalf – is logical and consistent with the philosophies of the East, all of which, whether Pantheistic or Deistic, proclaim the ONE an infinite abstraction, an absolute Something which utterly transcends the conception of the finite. Surely such a creed is more philosophical than that religion, … Continue reading “An incorporeal Principle, not to be blasphemously anthropomorphized…”

“The nothingness of Buddhi and Atma…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 16th July 2013 “Atma is nothing; it is all absolute, and it cannot be said that it is this, that, or the other. It is simply that in which we are – not only that we live and breathe and have our being, but in the whole universe, and during the whole Manvantaric period. Therefore, Atma is said to have Buddhi … Continue reading “The nothingness of Buddhi and Atma…”

“Raja Yoga encourages no sham, requires no physical postures…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 9th July 2013 “Raj Yoga encourages no sham, requires no physical postures. It has to deal with the inner man whose sphere lies in the world of thought. To have the highest ideal placed before oneself and strive incessantly to rise up to it, is the only true concentration recognized by Esoteric Philosophy which deals with the inner world of noumena, … Continue reading “Raja Yoga encourages no sham, requires no physical postures…”

“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 law of Analogy is the first key to the world-problem, and these links have to … Continue reading “Passing through and around us as if through empty space…”

“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. It exists from and in Eternity, truly, for it is ETERNITY itself; and as such, since no act can be co-equal with eternity, … Continue reading “The reincarnation of the same spiritual individuality in a long series of personalities…”

“The doctrine of the unreality of this Universe…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 3rd July 2013 “Maya is the perceptive faculty of every Ego which considers itself a Unit separate from, and independent of, the One infinite and eternal SAT, or “be-ness.” Maya is explained in exoteric philosophy and the Puranas, as the personified active Will of the creative God – the latter being but a personified Maya himself – a passing deception of … Continue reading “The doctrine of the unreality of this Universe…”

“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. This is not superstition, least of all is it Fatalism. The latter implies a blind course of some still … Continue reading “Those who believe in Karma have to believe in destiny…”

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. He must not be bound by the pre-judged and sectarian opinions of anyone, and he has to form his own opinions and to … Continue reading “The view a genuine, impartial Occultist would take…”

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…”
