COVENANT OF THE HEART, MEDITATIONS OF A CHRISTIAN HERMETICIST ON THE MYSTERIES OF TRADITION
Valentin Tomberg
The power of these meditations is that they reflect the author's personal spiritual journey into the depths of God's kingdom within...within the soul, within personal relations, within nature, within the cosmos.

"God is not a phenomenon that exists alongside other phenomena. He is the very source of 'selfness', more intimate and more inward than the most intimate and most inward that we know."
|
|
| 2 |
"Love is and remains for all time the sanctuary of freedom."
|
|
| 3 |
"Intuition is the faculty of knowledge which results from instinct that is illumined by reason."
|
|
| 4 |
"Just as the self of the human being is the centerpoint of the plurality of manifestations of his life of soul, so is the ONE God, transcending the self, the centerpoint of the world."
|
|
| 5 |
"From the very beginning, man was created as a bearer of love. He is not simply homo sapiens, but over and above this he is potentially homo amans."
|
|
| 6 |
""It is impossible for a peaceful and concentrated reader (i.e., for a meditative reader) of the Gospels not to begin to love the person of Jesus Christ, and also not to sense him as a working and actual reality."
|
|
| 7 |
"Just as the human being needs the air to breathe for his physical life, so he also has need of breathing in God – through prayer and meditation – for his soul life."
|
|
| 8 |
"As an idea, the resurrection is the realisation that God is divinely generous, that he does not take away again what he has once given and granted, but that his gifts – existence, consciousness, freedom, and creative activity – are valid for all eternity."
|
|
| 9 |
"Oneness or unity encompasses all numbers, and all numbers should be reduced back to unity."
|
|
| 10 |
"Not only Genesis, but also the Bhagavad Gita, speaks of the law of repeated impulses of the divine spirit intervening in order to maintain the level of intensity of the original life-impuse of the world."
|
|
| 11 |
"The breathing of the breath of life is the kernel of the human being, eternally coming into being from God."
|
|
| 12 |
"Justice represents the crown of Man's moral development – what might be called 'wisdom become flesh'."
|
|
| 13 |
Love is the foundation, the meaning, and the purpose of the world."
|
|
| 14 |
"Every movement, even the slightest, exerts an effect ultimately upon the whole world."
|
|
| 15 |
"Moral logic, the logic of divine wisdom,…comes about in the human being from the union – or even fusion – of the thinking of head and heart."
|
|
| 16 |
"The solemn majesty of the starry heaven proclaims the presence – the all-pervading presence – of the holy Being underlying the universe."
|
|
| 17 |
"Just as the seed determines the future ways and stages of growth, so the Good Shepherd decides the ways of development of the true being of mankind and leads them along these ways."
|
|
| 18 |
"God…is the center of all selves."
|
|
| 19 |
"There are many levels of freedom. But the highest is that of love."
|
|
| 20 |
"The decade (10 Sephiroth) of existence out of nothing has its end linked to its beginning and its beginning linked to its end, just as the flame is wedded to the live coal; because the Lord is one and there is not a second one." The Sepher Yetzirah, the Book of Creation, L. H. Frank 1877, p. 16
|
|
| 21 |
"The state of the risen Jesus Christ is the goal and the hope of the path of destiny of mankind. It is the most perfect ideal of which one could ever think or dream."
|
|
| 22 |
"Love is the self's life element, its substance, and its power of growth."
|
|
| 23 |
"God wills it that man may fulfill his earthly experience and task, even when they have been interrupted by death."
|
|
| 24 |
"Impulses of will are immersed in the streams of world-will-energy and are 'plugged in' to them."
|
|
| 25 |
"The world of the senses, the kingdoms of nature, testify to the all-pervasive wisdom of God."
