BASIC THEOSOPHY
Geoffrey Hodson
|
|
| 1 |
"All beings are synthesized to constitute one great Intelligence."
|
|
| 2 |
"Man, in very truth, was created in the image of God. Eliphas Levi said: 'The mystery of the earthly and mortal man is after the mystery of the supernal and immortal One."
|
|
| 3 |
"This is the way of happiness and of the fulfilment of life: 'He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.' (Matthew 23:11)."
|
|
| 4 |
"The Adept-to-be is in us now. 'Ye are Gods.' (John X:34). 'Christ in you.' (Col. I:27). 'Look within: thou ART Buddha'."
|
|
| 5 |
"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."
|
|
| 6 |
"Always be kinder than the situation demands. Earth's greatest Teachers and Sages have taught this."
|
|
| 7 |
"Cultivate a state of goodwill to all. Never by thought or word or deed hurt another."
|
|
| 8 |
"A profound, fundamental truth concerning man is that, in his spiritual, intellectual, psychical and physical nature he is a miniature replica or epitome of the whole order of created beings and things."
|
|
| 9 |
"All manifested divine Power, Life and Consciousness, and so all human Spirits, radiate from the One Source."
|
|
| 10 |
"In reality all are united and vitalised by the omnipresent divine Life."
|
|
| 11 |
"If with the ears of the Spirit the Song of Life could be heard, what would be its theme? The answer, in a phrase, is: 'Life is One'. There exists but One Life, One Light, One Power, One Love, and that is the central spiritual truth, in realization of which the Inner Self perpetually abides."
|
|
| 12 |
"Send out affection to all – flooding every living creature with the power of love."
|
|
| 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 |
"By kindness alone can man ratify the fact of the unity of Life."
|
|
| 15 |
"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."
|
|
| 16 |
"Spiritual awakening in mankind is as natural as is the appearance of bud and flower in the plant."
|
|
| 17 |
"The true citizen of the New Age will let compassion control even the details of daily life. He will shrink from harming anything that breathes because he will accept the Law of Kinship of all that lives."
|
|
| 18 |
"A gardener or farmer plants his seeds underground and, in due course, the new plants appear and complete their cycle of growth, which is generally consummated in the production of more seeds. The One Life, the One Law and the One Energy, to which the name 'God' has been given, would seem similarly to provide for the innermost selves of humanity the conditions necessary for the germination and development of their limitless, but at first seed-like deific powers. These conditions have some analogy with those provided for the seed of a plant when it is planted in the soil."
|
|
| 19 |
"In very truth, recognition and ratification in conduct of the fact of the oneness of all life is the panacea."
|
|
| 20 |
"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."
|
|
| 21 |
"All is interwoven, interlocked, and this interweaving is based upon a universal system of vibrational correspondences or mutual resonances."
|
|
| 22 |
"The purpose and goal of human life is the evolution of the human Soul to the stature of the Perfect Man – a state of complete fulfilment and highest development."
|
|
| 23 |
"Universal love is the password to the realms of light."
|
|
| 24 |
"This is the true solution: self-knowledge."
|
|
| 25 |
"Within-ness and without-ness use both infinite, but also one."
