Geoffrey Hodson

"Immortal and eternally continuing being, and an over-all universal identity are unthinkingly natural at all levels of awareness 'above' that of conceptual thought."
|
|
| 2 |
“Deeply penetrative self-examination, self-discovery and self-purification are essential if the divine in oneself and in one’s fellowmen is to be evoked.”
|
|
| 3 |
"As humanity quite naturally travels the evolutionary pathway, this state of realized oneness will become more easily attained."
|
|
| 4 |
“Man is a God-in-the-becoming. This, the ancient sages taught, is his destiny: ‘Ye shall be perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.’ (Matt. 5:48), ‘…look inward; thou art Buddha; become that which you are.’ (H. P. Blavatsky, ‘The Voice of the Silence’).”
|
|
| 5 |
"No one, no living being, is wholly outside the range and reach of the state of consciousness of every other….Every member of the human family is in contact with all others, so that in varying degrees each one influences every human being."
|
|
| 6 |
"The teachings of the sages throughout human history have ever included the call to live so that others are helped rather than harmed by one's actions. Here also is the message for today to all mankind. 'Take responsibility. Be concerned about the welfare of others, physical, emotional, and mental.' This, indeed, is the heart of the religion of the New Age and happily is so becoming for a growing number of people during this present period of human history."

“Gentleness, tenderness, caring deeply – these are the ways, however humble, by which the very best in a person’s life can shine forth.”
|
|
| 8 |
“The Bhagavad Gita or the Lord’s Song states: ‘…And whoso thus discerns Me in all, and all in Me, I never let him go; nor loosens he hold upon Me.”
|
|
| 9 |
“Love is the mightiest power of all.”
|
|
| 10 |
“Scriptural records as remain and are reasonably accurate reveal that the teachings given by the Sages to the mass of mankind were surprisingly few and quite similar.”
|
|
| 11 |
“God far transcends all intellectual conceptions of dividedness. On the contrary, THAT is, above all, One and One Alone.”
|
|
| 12 |
"Recognition of world-unity must become an absolutely governing principle in all relationships, between human beings, between man and animals, and all sentient creatures."
|
|
| 13 |
"The inner Self abides in pure, simple, absolute awareness, radiant with its own light, expressing itself spontaneously in a secret infinity of joy."
|
|
| 14 |
"In the inmost Self, every human being is intimately related to every other…However marked the differences may be at the levels of the mortal man, inwardly the spirit in each one is the same, an essence which is equally shared. Indeed, the same actual, identical Life-Essence is incarnate or embodied in the whole of nature, nothing existing without that Presence being inherently within it as a veritable Reality."
|
|
| 15 |
"Oneness exists and rules completely and without escape."
|
|
| 16 |
"Man as microcosm is one with the Divine or the macrocosm. The spirit, or Monad, of man is one with that supreme Spirit….The Deity is in no sense external to, different or separate from man. God and man are one and indivisible throughout all eternity."
|
|
| 17 |
“The one real world is always there in its undivided wholeness.”
|
|
| 18 |
"No matter how different forms may appear, the Life of this universe is One Life."
|
|
| 19 |
“If regarded solely by the mind, the human race exhibits a great diversity; seen by intuitive perception and implicit insight, these differences are found to be largely limited to the surface. Below the surface can be discerned an underlying bond which holds together, in unbreakable unity, all human beings – indeed, all that exists.”
|
|
| 20 |
"Beneath all differences there lies concealed the unalterable fact of oneness."
|
|
| 21 |
“All life within all forms is One Life.”
|
|
| 22 |
"Man's spiritual Self perpetually unfolds potential capacities, this being the purpose for his existence."
|
|
| 23 |
"Recognition of this relationship of oneness is the only possible way to personal, national, and international health, peace, and therefore happiness."
|
|
| 24 |
“Humanity will one day become illumined by realization of oneness and moved by its expression as love for all other forms of life.”
|
|
| 25 |
"The very Life Essence in the aspiring soul is identical with that in every other being throughout all the kingdoms of nature."
