“The Kabbalah was entirely lost in the thirteenth century…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 2nd September 2013 “The Chaldean Kabbalah, moreover, the Book of Numbers, agrees perfectly with the eastern arrangement, and disagrees with the present orthodox Kabbalah in its diagrams. … Now, look here: I had a rabbi who had the real Book of Numbers – and there is another; I have only seen two in my life, and I don’t think there exist … Continue reading “The Kabbalah was entirely lost in the thirteenth century…”

“Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 31st July 2013 “Like the Universe itself, Science is ever becoming, and can never say, “I am that I am.” On the other hand, Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times. It may err in particulars; it can never become guilty of a mistake in questions of Universal laws, simply because that Science, justly referred to by philosophy as … Continue reading “Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times…”

“These material souls will begin to disintegrate…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 28th July 2013 “There are many distinct classes of “Elementaries” and “Elementals.” The highest of the former in intelligence and cunning are the so-called “terrestrial spirits.” Of these it must suffice to say, for the present, that they are the Larvae or shadows of those who have lived on earth, alike of the good and of the bad. They are the … Continue reading “These material souls will begin to disintegrate…”

“The rays of the eternal divine Mind…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 24th July 2013 “Manas is a “principle,” and yet it is an “Entity” and individuality or Ego. He is a “God,” and yet he is doomed to an endless cycle of incarnations, for each of which he is made responsible, and for each of which he has to suffer. … “Try to imagine a “Spirit,” a celestial Being, whether we call … Continue reading “The rays of the eternal divine Mind…”

“The real incarnating and permanent Spiritual Ego…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 21st July 2013 “I. Atma, the “Higher Self,” is neither your Spirit nor mine, but like sunlight shines on all. It is the universally diffused “divine principle,” and is inseparable from its one and absolute Meta-Spirit, as the sunbeam is inseparable from sunlight. “II. Buddhi (the spiritual soul) is only its vehicle. Neither each separately, nor the two collectively, are of … Continue reading “The real incarnating and permanent Spiritual Ego…”

“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…”

“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…”
