"We do not 'come into' this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean 'waves', the universe 'peoples'. Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe." Alan Watts (1915-1973), 'The Book On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are'

LECTURES ON ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
Manly P. Hall
|
|
| 1 |
“All things are one in reality and in essence.”
|
|
| 2 |
“He who becomes luminous shines not with a separate light but rather is merged with the one light whose radiance is diffused throughout all worlds.”
|
|
| 3 |
“As each age comes into manifestation it brings with it a definite philosophic revelation designed to solve the problems peculiar to that age.”
|
|
| 4 |
“Good continually inclines toward unity or wholeness.”
|
|
| 5 |
"The rational soul is necessarily unselfish because it conceives self to be distributed throughout the entire substance of Being."
|
|
| 6 |
"To know the nature of all things is to realize that all things are good."
|
|
| 7 |
“Think of religion as the universal adoration of creative principles common to all humanity.”
|
|
| 8 |
“God is all there is….God is the heavens and the earth, and all the creatures that inhabit them.” Anonymous East Indian sage
|
|
| 9 |
“Humanity’s sphere of influence is as far-reaching as creation, and what we first agitate diverges to the shores of eternity like the ripples from a stone thrown upon the surface of some placid lake.”
|
|
| 10 |
"Unborn and undying, the Self is neither old nor young. Its condition never changes; for though all things pass away, it endures. It is wholeness."
|
|
| 11 |
"All principles and their progeny are finally centered and rooted by their summits in the first great all-comprehending one. Thus all beings proceed from, and are comprehended in the first being; all intellects emanate from one first intellect; all souls from one first soul; all natures blossom from one first nature;…all these great monads are comprehended in the first one, from which both they and all their depending series are unfolded into light. Hence, this first one is truly the unity of unities, the monad of monads, the principle of principles, the God of Gods, one and all things, and yet one prior to all."
|
|
| 12 |
"There is no way in which to more rapidly release our own internal potentials than through the discovery of the wonders of the Universal Plan and the parts that each of us must play in the perfection of our world."
|
|
| 13 |
“Good, possessing the virtue of unity, must ever increase until it includes everything within its own nature.”
|
|
| 14 |
"Until we are everything that we in our ignorance believe surrounds us, there is no complete consciousness. We may study the star intellectually, but we have never attained consciousness until we are the star, the stone, the heavens, and the earth. When our consciousness is perfect we extend from the heights of height to the depths of depth; we permeate the whole nature of existence; we are in everything, we are through everything, we are the whole nature of everything."
|
|
| 15 |
“It is predestined that the Golden Age shall come again; that men shall live together in love and understanding, and the earth shall become once more a garden of surpassing beauty as it was in the beginning.”
|
|
| 16 |
"The Beautiful is an eternal flow; it is the One in motion."
|
|
| 17 |
"The world is not the product of casual effort or the work of irrational fortune, but the offspring of an intellectual nature and a divine wisdom."
|
|
| 18 |
“Perfect rhythms stream continually from the splendor of Abiding Destiny.”
|
|
| 19 |
“Every substance, object, element, and agent in the universe is capable of instructing us in those phases of divine order which are involved in its own constitution.”
|
|
| 20 |
“All is in All; All is All.” Rosicrucian saying
|
|
| 21 |
"The sum of all individual minds is the one Universal Mind, so that in the last analysis, gods, men, and worlds are each fragments of the whole."
|
|
| 22 |
“Beauty is in the human soul, lifting us upward to ever nobler vistas of endeavor.”
|
|
| 23 |
“Every human soul is innately divine.”
|
|
| 24 |
“The law of the soul is love.”
|
|
| 25 |
"As all creatures are made in the image of their Universal Creator, it follows that each has a spiritual nature which is part of and harmonious with the spiritual nature of the universe, and also a material nature which is part of and harmonious with the cosmic body."
