BASIC THEOSOPHY
Geoffrey Hodson

"Neither individuals nor nations are paralysed by their past actions. Everything is not irretrievably fated, however good or bad the past. Man can master circumstances and make of each experience an opportunity for a fresh beginning, however heavily the past may weigh upon him."

"The ideal is not a universalised set of conditions and a uniformity of human personality, but full individual development, with readiness to combine and to co-operate in the great causes of human happiness and progress."
|

"Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain: and regard your neighbor's loss as your own loss." T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien (Taoist)

"Man is a God-in-the-becoming. This, the ancient Sages taught, is the destiny of man: fully to make manifest his inherent powers."
|
|
5 |
"All work is, indeed, performed as part of the One Work and on behalf of the One Worker."
|
|
6 |
"The deity-to-be is already present embryonically within every human being."
|
|
7 |
"Actions motived by love, service and unselfishness produce a growing freedom of self-expression."
|
|
8 |
"There is nowhere in which to be lost. God is omnipresent."
|
|
9 |
"Try to see this world and the personalities of men as vehicles for the Divine Presence and the Divine Life, remembering also: All are but parts of one stupendous whole."
|
|
10 |
"The principle of unfoldment under the irresistible pressure of a propellant energy operates from within the innermost essence of the Universe, and the spiritual seeds of all beings."
|
|
11 |
"Man is indeed a mystery, since he contains germinally within himself all his Creator's manifested attributes and powers and, in addition, those which will continue to become manifest throughout unending ages."
|
|

"The soul of man is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendour has no limit." 'The Idyll of the White Lotus'
|
|
13 |
"Actions which help and heal others and which preserve and restore, when disturbed, the harmony of the Universe, are in accord with cosmic purpose and so produce happiness, which is moreness, fullness, and accord. One should therefore be harmonious and a harmoniser. Herein lies the individual contribution to the solution of the problem of war; for when the harmonisers become a majority peace will reign."
|
|
14 |
"For an increasing number of people, the Inner Voice grows stronger, more insistent, calling: 'One life in all'."
|
|
15 |
"The pain of bereavement and the fear of death say to us: 'Seek the inner consciousness and seek it ardently. For when found it will banish both fear of death and pain of bereavement.' In our inner selves and in our hearts, if we will let them speak, we know these things."
|
|
16 |
"Behind all existence is one Supreme Power, one Energy, one Force, one Law, and, because of this characteristic of oneness, all the components of that One are united in the One Alone."
|
|
17 |
"Spiritual awakening in mankind is as natural as is the appearance of bud and flower in the plant."
|
|
18 |
"Spiritually man is one with God and the goal of life in terms of consciousness is fully to know, deeply to realise, and so physically to live in recollection of this truth."
|
|
19 |
"The expansive pressure of the divine will is the Power behind the whole process of evolution."
|
|
20 |
"All these parts of the Cosmos…are in correspondence or harmonious interaction or mutual resonance with each other."
|
|
21 |
"What part should man play in the scheme of things? Selfless collaboration with the evolutionary plan."
|
|
22 |
"Think your way towards the principle of Oneness as far as you possibly can."
|
|
23 |
"In the age and evolutionary phase of wisdom which is now dawning, man will realise the fact of unity and learn consciously to draw upon and wield the power from the One Source."
|
|
24 |
"Despite its denial by man, the fact of oneness remains. From that unity, that one Source, is derived the God-Self of man, the Inner Ruler Immortal. From and through that Immortal Self, Power from the One Source is flowing."
