“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.

“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…”

“True Theosophy is the Great Renunciation of SELF…”

“Esoteric philosophy reconciles all religions…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 29th May 2013 “The Esoteric philosophy is alone calculated to withstand, in this age of crass and illogical materialism, the repeated attacks on all and everything man holds most dear and sacred, in his inner spiritual life.
