Third Eye of the Buddhas

THEOSOPHY QUOTES “Uchnicha , also Buddhochnicha (Sk.). Explained as “a protuberance on Buddha’s cranium, forming a hair-tuft”. This curious description is given by the Orientalists, varied by another which states that Uchnicha was “originally a conical or flame-shaped hair tuft on the crown of a Buddha, in later ages represented as a flesh excrescence on the skull itself”. This ought to read quite the reverse; for esoteric philosophy … Continue reading Third Eye of the Buddhas

“Theosophy is a scientific religion and a religious science…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 23rd January 2015 “Theosophy is that ocean of knowledge which spreads from shore to shore of the evolution of sentient beings; unfathomable in its deepest parts, it gives the greatest minds their fullest scope, yet, shallow enough at its shores, it will not overwhelm the understanding of a child. It is wisdom about God for those who believe that he is all … Continue reading “Theosophy is a scientific religion and a religious science…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 19th January 2015 “Capricornus (Lat.). The 10th sign of the Zodiac (Makara in Sanskrit), considered, on account of its hidden meaning, the most important among the constellations of the mysterious Zodiac.

“The Alpha and the Omega of Eastern esotericism…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 28th February 2014 “One feels a serious doubt whether, with all its intellectual acuteness, our age is destined to discover in each western nation even one solitary uninitiated scholar or philosopher capable of fully comprehending the spirit of archaic philosophy.

“The true practice of Yoga…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 27th February 2014 “The only method of Yoga that I would give a snap for is that found in Patanjali’s Yoga and the Bhagavad Gita. True Yoga is not autohypnotization. The true practice of yoga begins by purifying the heart; its perfection is not attainable until the personal idea is completely uprooted.  Obviously this takes more than one incarnation. You have … Continue reading “The true practice of Yoga…”

“Escape from the coils of the great serpent of illusion…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 21st February 2014 “As mankind multiplies, and with it suffering – which is the natural result of an increasing number of units that generate it – sorrow and pain are intensified.

“Voluntary victim of an illusionary God…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 18th February 2014 “I will point out the greatest, the chief cause of nearly two thirds of the evils that pursue humanity ever since that cause became a power. It is religion under whatever form and in whatsoever nation.

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 17th February 2014 “Just as pre-Cosmic Ideation is the root of all individual consciousness, so pre-Cosmic Substance is the substratum of matter in the various grades of its differentiation. “Hence it will be apparent that the contrast of these two aspects of the Absolute is essential to the existence of the “Manifested Universe.” Apart from Cosmic Substance, Cosmic Ideation could not … Continue reading “The mysterious link between Mind and Matter…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 14th February 2014 “If it is true that H.P.B. was the Direct Agent of the Lodge – and this is explicitly stated to be the fact by the Master K.H., however Col.
