“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…”

“Each man is the maker and fashioner of his own destiny…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 27th June 2013 “The ancient Hindus said that every being up to Brahma was under the rule of Karma. “It is not a being but a law, the universal law of harmony which unerringly restores all disturbance to equilibrium. In this the theory conflicts with the ordinary conception about God, built up from the Jewish system, which assumes that the Almighty … Continue reading “Each man is the maker and fashioner of his own 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. He must not be bound by the pre-judged and sectarian opinions of anyone, and he has to form his own opinions and to … Continue reading “The view a genuine, impartial Occultist would take…”

“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…”

“There is never any need to desire…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 10th June 2013 “Desire … with regard to the personality, is the cause of all sin, sorrow, and suffering. Such desire is based on selfish thought; it is not what others desire; it heeds not any other urge than its own. The unfulfilled desires, it is, that hurt us; yet do the fulfilled desires give us happiness? Never, for so soon … Continue reading “There is never any need to desire…”

“The fate of the suicide is horrible…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 9th June 2013 “The fate of the suicide is horrible in general. He has cut himself off from his body by using mechanical means that affect the body, but cannot touch the real man. He then is projected into the astral world, for he has to live somewhere. There the remorseless law, which acts really for his good, compels him to … Continue reading “The fate of the suicide is horrible…”

“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…”

“The ultimate state of perfect Unconsciousness…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 7th June 2013 “The great Advaitee thinkers of India have extended the same reasoning to other states of consciousness, and came to the conclusion that the various conditions of the Ego and the Non-Ego were but the appearances of one and the same entity – the ultimate state of unconsciousness. This entity is neither matter nor spirit; it is neither Ego … Continue reading “The ultimate state of perfect Unconsciousness…”

“I do not think Western Esotericism is worthy of the name…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 6th June 2013 “It was thought by H.P.B. that true Eastern Occultism was the primeval system and hence better than the Western. For the Western is all overgrown with the weeds sown by Judaism in the beginning and mediaeval Christianity in the end. So it will be found that although at bottom Western Occultism has the same doctrines as the Eastern, … Continue reading “I do not think Western Esotericism is worthy of the name…”

“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…”
