“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…”

“The prime purpose of H.P.B.’s mission…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 2nd July 2013 “H.P.B. endeavours to protect the mind of the individual and the race against the recrudescence of lower psychism by giving “philosophical deduction instead of unverifiable hypothesis, scientific analysis and demonstration instead of undiscriminating faith” (Isis, II. 636). The Secret Doctrine goes further. Its structure and the method of presentation bring about an inner mental change, which makes the … Continue reading “The prime purpose of H.P.B.’s mission…”

“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. H.P. Blavatsky is our sole originator of a theory regarding the satellite which one could not have invented with the most wonderful imagination. She says her teachers told her, … Continue reading “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. 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…”

“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…”

“The fate of the suicide is horrible…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 9th June 2013 “The fate of the suicide is horrible in general. He has cut himself off from his body by using mechanical means that affect the body, but cannot touch the real man. He then is projected into the astral world, for he has to live somewhere. 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…”
