"The One Life has been described as a conscious, hypersensitive, electric, creative energy. All effects, pleasurable or painful, produced upon one living creature are communicated by this electric, telegraphic Life-force, elan vital, throughout the whole of manifested life."
Basic Theosophy - Geoffrey Hodson

LECTURES ON ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
Manly P. Hall
|
|
| 1 |
“All are embraced within the span of the eternal philosophic NOW.”
|
|
| 2 |
“The soul naturally desires the adornment of wholeness.”
|
|
| 3 |
“Roundness partakes of the nature of wholeness because the circle or sphere (like wholeness) is without beginning or end. To think in round terms may be interpreted to mean keeping the mentality upon the level of greatest inclusiveness, ever striving to attain fuller inclusiveness.”
|
|
| 4 |
"The Beautiful is an eternal flow; it is the One in motion."
|
|
| 5 |
"In addition to the properties of length, breadth, and thickness, every object has also a quality extension toward the nature of perfect Good."
|
|
| 6 |
"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."
|
|
| 7 |
"Mankind may be considered as a vast organism with one Spirit or Self manifesting through an infinite number of organisms."
|
|
| 8 |
"Intelligence exists in every department of creation. The entire universe is controlled by definite laws that evidence the omniscience of the Eternal Thinker."
|
|
| 9 |
"Each individual, by receding into his own divine nature, may discover within himself the divine nature of all creatures. He may even become every other creature, for that part of himself which is real is every other creature."
|
|
| 10 |
“Good continually inclines toward unity or wholeness.”
|
|
| 11 |
"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."
|
|
| 12 |
“Since the generated world is a collective whole, if we apply the ears of our intellect to the world we shall, perhaps, hear it thus addressing us: ‘There is no doubt but I was composed from all animals, entirely sufficient to myself, and destitute of nothing;…All things are contained in my ample bosom.” Plotinus, ‘On Providence’
|
|
| 13 |
"The rational soul is necessarily unselfish because it conceives self to be distributed throughout the entire substance of Being."
|
|
| 14 |
"Slayer and savior alike are marching on through the ages toward inevitable perfection."
|
|
| 15 |
“Good, possessing the virtue of unity, must ever increase until it includes everything within its own nature.”
|
|
| 16 |
"Wholeness is an archetypal quality – an attribute of Deity. Regardless of the nature of its expression, every activity, quality, or condition is essentially a wholeness. This wholeness is made manifest by a division within itself whereby its nature becomes a mass of innumerable fragments, each of the fractions partaking of the quality resident in the original wholeness, and manifesting it through the wholeness of its own fractional part."
|
|
| 17 |
"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."
|
|
| 18 |
“There is but one spirit in the universe….there is but one consciousness.”
|
|
| 19 |
“The One Supreme Power manifesting throughout the cosmic organism should be considered as manifesting through all created things.”
|
|
| 20 |
“When we adore the God of harmony, we shall know the inner mystery of life.”
|
|
| 21 |
“Having ultimately attained through right thinking, right feeling, and right living to the condition of the beautiful within ourselves, with enraptured vision we can respond in perfect measure to the eternal beauty which flows from the inexhaustible fountain of the one Good.”
|
|
| 22 |
"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."
|
|
| 23 |
“Perfect rhythms stream continually from the splendor of Abiding Destiny.”
|
|
| 24 |
“To Be is to be immortal, for that which has been can never utterly cease.”
|
|
| 25 |
“All things are one in reality and in essence.”
|
