"When you come to recognize that boundaries are illusions, and good and bad incline toward each other, and black and white are variations of light, the dualities dissolve and freedom reigns."

THE INNER LIFE
Charles W. Leadbeater
This book is a Theosophical classic which intuitively describes our psycho/spiritual Nature.
|
|
| 1 |
"There is a Great One…who works for the good of the world."
|
|
| 2 |
"The will of the Logos is man's evolution. In our blindness we may for a time resist Him, but to Him time is naught, and if we cannot see today He waits patiently till tomorrow, but always in the end His will is done."
|
|
| 3 |
"All evolution came forth from the Divine, and we ourselves are sparks of the Divine flame."
|
|
| 4 |
"That consciousness, wide as the sea, with 'its centre everywhere and its circumference nowhere', is a great and glorious FACT."
|
|
| 5 |
"God is working simultaneously through every religion, and utilizing all that is good in the way of devotion and self-sacrifice in each."
|
|
| 6 |
"Even I myself am God, so all others, too, are God, and in truth there is nothing but God."
|
|
| 7 |
"When we understand the underlying unity of all we cannot be otherwise than helpful, we cannot stand aside from our brother's sorrow."
|
|
| 8 |
"He [Buddha] declared that in spite of all the sorrow and misery of the world, the great scheme of which man is a part is a scheme of eternal justice, and that the law under which we are living is a good law, and needs only that we should understand it and adapt ourselves to it."
|
|
| 9 |
"There is a consciousness wide enough to comprehend all, which never fails in its response to any earnest effort in the direction of an increased spirituality."
|
|
| 10 |
"The old saying is justified that ALL things, even the most unlikely-looking are in reality working together for good."
|
|
| 11 |
"The whole force of the universe is pressing upwards towards unity, and the person who is willing to make his life an intelligent cooperation with nature gains an ever-increasing perception of the reality of this unity."
|
|
| 12 |
"The universe is an inseparable web whose interconnections are dynamic." Shirley Nicholson, introduction
|
|
| 13 |
"If we are actively helping in the progress of all, we are living in God's will, which penetrates nature, and this is felt by nature at once."
|
|
| 14 |
"We are all parts of the Logos, and our wills are part of his."
|
|
| 15 |
"The best way to see truly is to begin determinedly to look always for the good in every one."
|
|
| 16 |
"Every point is equally the center of a circle whose radius is infinite."
|
|
| 17 |
"The Will of the Logos is infinitely stronger than any human will, and not even the utmost exertion of perverse ingenuity can possibly prevail against Him."
|
|
| 18 |
"There is plenty of good in the world, and it is better to think of that, for your thought strengthens that of which you think."
|
|
| 19 |
"If we can see and grasp even a little of the glory, we can to some extent reflect it to others."
|
|
| 20 |
"The only way of casting off the fetter of doubt is by knowledge and intelligent comprehension."
|
|
| 21 |
"The Supreme Self (is) in everything and everything in It….the Self is endeavoring to express itself through the form. One method of practice for this is to try to identify your consciousness with that of various creatures, such as a fly, an ant, or a tree. Try to see and feel things as they see and feel them, until as you pass inwards all consciousness of the tree or the insect falls away, and the life of the Logos appears."
|
|
| 22 |
"Any directive process….implies a reference to the future. The equifinality of developmental processes, the striving of the blastula to grow into an embryo, regardless of the obstacles and hazards to which it is exposed, might lead the unprejudiced observer to the conclusion that the pull of the future is as real and sometimes more important than the pressure of the past." Arthur Koestler, 'Nature', 1965
|
|
| 23 |
"Realize that you are a god in the making. All the power and force of the universe are on your side. The result is certain."
|
|
| 24 |
"The will of the Logos is humanity's evolution. In our blindness we may for a time resist Him, but to Him time is naught, and if we cannot see today, He waits patiently until tomorrow, but always in the end His will is done."
|
|
| 25 |
"The devotion of the truly unselfish person moves in an open curve, and though some of its effects inevitably react upon the sender, the noblest part of its force ascends to the Logos Itself, and the response, the magnificent response of benediction which instantly pours forth, falls into a reservoir for the helping of humanity. So it is within the power of every one of us, even the weakest and the poorest, to help the world in this most beautiful manner."
