"God's will may not come to you in verbal or visual messages, or as anything you can articulate. It might just come as a deeply felt sense of where to go, what to do and how to act in the world from moment to moment. Clues might arrive in dreams, reveries or flashes of intuition, or in synchronistic meetings and moments, like a seemingly chance encounter with another person or a passage in a book you open in a random instance."

BASIC THEOSOPHY
Geoffrey Hodson
|
|
1 |
"Man can master circumstances and make of each experience an opportunity for a fresh beginning, however heavily the past may weigh upon him."
|
|
2 |
"However terrible the sin and sorrow on earth may be, all things are somehow working together for the eventual good of all."
|
|
3 |
"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."
|
|
4 |
"The [human] Monad is a seed of the tree of life, a quiescent spark in the One Flame or Supreme Fire, a breath of the Great Breath, a cell in the Divine Body, a Divine Fragment, a Son of the Father, a scintilla of the Spiritual Sun, containing full divine powers in a latent state."
|
|
5 |
"In reality all are united and vitalised by the omnipresent divine Life."
|
|
6 |
"When we examine the sacred books of various religions and the original sayings of the world's greatest teachers, we are able to perceive a singular uniformity."
|
|
7 |
"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."
|
|
8 |
"All manifested divine Power, Life and Consciousness, and so all human Spirits, radiate from the One Source."
|
|
9 |
"Just as the acorn under proper conditions will produce out of itself a complete reproduction of its parent tree, which in its turn can produce hundreds of thousands of further acorns each similarly endowed, so the spiritual soul of man contains within itself in a latent or seed-like state the full potentiality of its divine source."
|
|
10 |
"The One Life has been described as a conscious, hypersensitive, electric, creative energy. All effects, pleasurable or painful, produced upon one living creature are communicated by this electric, telegraphic Life-force, elan vital, throughout the whole of manifested life."
|
|
11 |
"How may the self be discovered? All teachers give the same answer: By meditation and contemplation; by self-purification; and by action in service of the Divine in all beings."
|
|
12 |
"Man is a microcosm or little world, a reproduction in miniature of the macrocosm or greater world, meaning the universe and its indwelling Deity."
|
|
13 |
"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."
|
|
14 |
"Every sprouting seed, every wheeling planet, every ordinary movement of the natural world, every noble aspiration of the human heart, is an expression of energy of the ever-present, ever-active Soul of the Universe." Archdeacon Wilberforce, Anglican spiritual leader
|
|
15 |
"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."
|
|
16 |
"In the state of consciousness in which the Spiritual Self abides, separation is impossible, parting in unknown."
|
|
17 |
"Unfoldment from less to more and reharmonization operate irresistibly upon man, as upon all else that exists. Man can delay or hasten, but he cannot ultimately frustrate these two functions of the Cosmic Will."
|
|
18 |
"Think your way towards the principle of Oneness as far as you possibly can."
|
|
19 |
"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'
|
|
20 |
"Oneness is the supreme truth."
|
|
21 |
"There is in existence in the whole Universe only one Spiritual Essence, one Spiritual Being, one Divine Flame – and the Spiritual Self of man is forever at one with that all-inclusive One Alone. This is the one great truth."
|
|
22 |
"In happiness and suffering, in joy and in grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self, and should therefore refrain from inflicting upon others such injury as would appear undesirable to us if inflicted upon ourselves." Yogashastra, 2:20 (Jain scripture)
|
|
23 |
"All beings are synthesized to constitute one great Intelligence."
|
|
24 |
"Man, in his essential spiritual nature, is as a seed of the Deity."
|
|
25 |
"There is a spiritual alchemy by means of which adversity resulting from actions motived by selfishness can be diminished or even dispersed by the deliberate exertion of energies and the enactment of deeds motivated by love. This spiritual mode of life constitutes the 'Way of Holiness' of Isaiah, the 'strait and narrow way' of Christianity, the 'Noble Eightfold Path' of Buddhism and the 'razor-edged Path' of Hinduism."
