"As the holy man and visionary Black Elk stood on the summit of Harney Peak, he had a mystical perception of the universe, a cosmos of harmony and balance transcending all polarities: 'Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world and while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw, for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes, as they must live together like one being.'"

THE FINDING OF THE THIRD EYE
Vera Stanley Alder
This is a guide to attainment of awareness through the path outlined by ancient wisdom, comparing it with the discoveries of modern science.
|
|
| 1 |
"Everything in life is evolving upwards and onwards to a higher and more perfect state, having had its beginning in an uncreative, unconscious and elementary form, and growing and progressing through striving, sacrifice and struggle to a condition of creative selfconscious potent strength."
|
|
| 2 |
"'Man, know Thyself' was inscribed over the doors of the wonderful ancient temples of learning as the most important injunction to all aspirants."
|
|
| 3 |
"Everything is…intimately connected with everything else."
|
|
| 4 |
"The Wisdom Teaching, down the ages, has come forth from God and thrown the needed light upon the ways of men. It has taken the form outwardly of the world religions, but has always presented to those whose eyes were open those esoteric truths and those clear instructions whereby man can find his own soul and his way back to the centre of life."
|
|
| 5 |
"Nothing is lost, nothing is wasted, everyone finally reaches the same goal of perfection."
|
|
| 6 |
"'Love thy neighbour as thyself' – so simple and so clear! And quite enough to change this tortured earth to a lovely place."
|
|
| 7 |
"The world appears to be made up of the energy of the Being or Mind behind it, whose idea it was!"
|
|
| 8 |
"Man has the capacity to connect his mind with the highest unseen cosmic intelligence – the mind of Nature."
|
|
| 9 |
"The cry for world-unity, peace, brotherhood and the casting down of barriers is increasingly making itself heard."
|
|
| 10 |
"Service leads to working with others, the beginning of that Universal Brotherhood which is inevitably and actually coming into being before our eyes."
|
|
| 11 |
"Everyone should breathe in the divine Breath of Life with all his heart and sing his song of thanksgiving no less regularly than do the birds."
|
|
| 12 |
"Fear is something of our making, and it paralyses us and renders us stupid."
|
|
| 13 |
"Man is a god in the making, and the goal is waiting before him."
|
|
| 14 |
"He whose aspirations are high, sincere and enduring may begin at once to achieve Godhood and acquire first-hand knowledge of the secrets of the universe."
|
|
| 15 |
"Men and women have the choice as to what they will do with this power within them. Shall they exhaust it in the various self-indulgences, both mental and physical, or shall they use it to become creative in the realms of the spirit and higher mind – a force for good? It is this tremendous choice which every human being has to face."
|
|
| 16 |
"Mankind, as well as all of Nature, is to rise out of the imperfect state, to become complete and creative, and to develop the full quota of qualities and capacities."
|
|
| 17 |
"The flame of regeneration and renaissance is burning high already, and many are the little sparks, fanned by patient souls, ready now to flare into a rich fulfillment."
|
|
| 18 |
"Believe in the One great Divinity."
|
|
| 19 |
"When universal love, neighbourliness and brotherhood eventually spread across the world, East and West will learn from each other and pool their attributes."
|
|
| 20 |
"God is within us. We are each able to contact the world of spirit within our own little bodies, because in the final analysis it is the life of that world which is interpenetrating and sustaining us."
|
|
| 21 |
"His [Christ's] work was to transfer the possibility of attainment from the few to the many, to simplify the great Truths for the use of all humanity and to introduce the ultimate act of attainment, the awakening of the Love principle in the heart."
|
|
| 22 |
"Confucius believed in the one God over all."
|
|
| 23 |
"Man is said to contain within himself a facsimile of and a link with everything in the universe."
|
|
| 24 |
"The world is built up of thousands of differing rates of vibrations, all these having their origin in the One original vibration of the mind of the Creator."
|
|
| 25 |
"When the aspirant can grow to love his neighbours for their struggles and faults, and utterly abstain from any critical feeling, then 'will all things be added unto him.' There will be no barriers to prevent it. Like attracts like, and his own honesty and charity will inevitably draw to him as to a magnet all that is good."
