Helena P. Blavatsky

1 |
"The universe is the combination of a thousand elements, and yet the expression of a single spirit."
|
|
2 |
"Even so small a thing as the birth of one child upon our planet has its effect upon the universe, as the whole universe has its own reactive influence upon him."
|
|
3 |
"There is an intelligence or mind, the first principle of all principles, the Supreme Idea on which all other ideas are grounded; the Monarch and Lawgiver of the universe; the ultimate substance from which all things derive their being and essence, the first and efficient Cause of all the order, and harmony, and beauty, and excellency, and goodness, which pervades the universe."
|
|
4 |
"It is undeniable that the theologies of all the great nations dovetail together and show that each is a part of one stupendous whole."
|
|
5 |
"The soul, which is immortal, has an arithmetical, as the body has a geometrical, beginning. This beginning, as the reflection of the great universal Archaeus, is self-moving, and from the centre diffuses itself over the whole body of the microcosm."
|
|
6 |
"You have in yourself something similar to God, and therefore use yourself as the temple of God."
|
|
7 |
"There is but one Magnet in the universe, and from it proceeds the magnetization of everything existing."

|
|
10 |
"There never was nor ever will be a truly philosophical mind, whether of Pagan, Jew or Christian, but has followed the same path of thought. Gautama-Buddha is mirrored in the precepts of Christ; Paul and Philo Judaeus are faithful echoes of Plato, and Ammonius Saccas and Plotinus won their immortal fame by combining the teachings of all these grand masters of true philosophy. 'Prove all things; hold fast that which is good,' ought to be the motto of all brothers on earth."
|
|
11 |
"The love of truth is inherently the love of good; and so predominating over every desire of the soul, purifying it and assimilating it to the divine, thus governing every act of the individual, it raises humanity to a participation and communion with Divinity."
|
|
12 |
"You have in yourself something similar to God, and therefore use yourself as the temple of God. The greatest honor which can be paid to God is to know and imitate his perfection." Sextus the Pythagorean
|
|
13 |
"Every..symbol is an embodied idea, - combining the conception of the Divine Invisible with the earthly and visible."
|
|
14 |
"It is undeniable that the theologies of all the great nations dovetail together and show that each is a part of one stupendous whole."
|
|
15 |
"One is the Spirit of the living God, blessed be His Name, who lives forever!" 'Sepher Jezireh', the kabalistic Book of Creation
|
|
16 |
"Space is not an empty void, but a reservoir filled with the models of all things that ever were, that are, and that will be."
|
|
17 |
"The human spirit is so great a thing that no one can express it; as God is eternal and unchangeable, so also is the spirit of humanity." Paracelsus
|
|
18 |
"The forces of the universe are ever in perfect harmony with the one great Immutable Law."
|
|
19 |
"One nature delights in another, one nature overcomes another, one nature overrules another, and the whole of them are One." Synesius
|
|
20 |
"Deity is the central and immortal germ of all that exists in the universe."
|
|
21 |
"Every soul has some portion of 'nous', reason, a person cannot be a person without it."
|
|
22 |
"Who can study carefully the ancient religious and cosmogonic myths without perceiving that this striking similitude of conceptions, in their esoteric spirit, is the result of no mere coincidence, but manifests a concurrent design? It shows that already in those ages which are shut out from our sight by the impenetrable mist of tradition, human religious thought developed in uniform sympathy in every portion of the globe."
|
|
23 |
"The undercurrent of this world is set toward one goal; and inside of humanity is a power almost infinite, a holy faith capable of apprehending the supremest truths of all existence."
|
|
24 |
"God fills up the whole creation, for he is in all, and all is in him."
|
|
25 |
"The unity of God, the immortality of the spirit, belief in salvation only through our works, merit and demerit; such are the principal articles of faith of the Wisdom-religion."
