“The first law of the Sacred Science…”

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…”

“Such an avalanche of crude impurities and fables…”

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…”

“All in Nature is an aspect of the One Element…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 17th September 2013 “There is one error which is commonly made, than which there can be no greater error in the views of an occultist. A division is made between what you call animate and inanimate objects, as if there could be such a thing as a perfectly inanimate object on earth! “In reality, even that which you call a dead … Continue reading “All in Nature is an aspect of the One Element…”

“The Root from which proceeds all manifestation…”

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…”

“Only the knowledge of karma can offset it…”

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…”

“The Golden Rule was not original with Jesus…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 6th September 2013 “In what particular does the jealous, wrathful, revengeful God of Israel resemble the unknown deity, the God of mercy preached by Jesus; – his Father who is in Heaven, and the Father of all humanity? This Father alone is the God of spirit and purity, and, to compare Him with the subordinate and capricious Sinaitic Deity is an … Continue reading “The Golden Rule was not original with Jesus…”

“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…”

“The apes were produced by man himself…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 1st September 2013 “The burning question of the anthropoid apes as related to man is settled by the Masters of Wisdom, who say that instead of those being our progenitors they were produced by man himself. In one of the early periods of the globe the men of that time begot from large females of the animal kingdom the anthropoids, and … Continue reading “The apes were produced by man himself…”

“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…”

“There is only Kosmos – The Great Order…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 23rd July 2013 “The study of The Secret Doctrine proves unprofitable unless the student sees at his own stage of evolution, in his own life, in the activity of his own complex nature, the unity which is basic from which differentiation springs and on which diversity manifests. Meta-physics is not a subject for consideration by the mind only. Therefore there is … Continue reading “There is only Kosmos – The Great Order…”
