“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 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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 2nd June 2013 “Let him aspire to no higher than he feels able to accomplish. Let him not take a burden upon himself too heavy for him to carry. Without ever becoming a “Mahatma,” a Buddha, or a Great Saint, let him study the philosophy and the “Science of Soul,” and he can become one of the modest benefactors of humanity, … Continue reading “True Theosophy is the Great Renunciation of SELF…”

“Eastern metaphysics is a science that is highly practical…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 31st May 2013 “Sometimes people have asked why The Secret Doctrine establishes the three fundamental propositions in abstruse terms of metaphysics and high philosophy. Why not give, it is suggested, the basic principles in simple and easily understandable language of religious morality? If all things in this objective universe, and the latter itself, rest in and on these fundamentals, why define … Continue reading “Eastern metaphysics is a science that is highly practical…”

“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. The true philosopher, the student of the Esoteric Wisdom, entirely loses sight of personalities, dogmatic beliefs and special religions. Moreover, Esoteric philosophy reconciles all … Continue reading “Esoteric philosophy reconciles all religions…”
