"Indeed, in his spiritual, intellectual, psychical and physical nature man is a miniature replica of the whole order of created beings and things, a model of the totality of Nature…Man as Monad contains within himself the collective aggregate of all that has ever existed, does at any time exist, and will ever exist throughout the eternity of eternities."
Basic Theosophy - Geoffrey Hodson

"All things, including us – especially us – are within God's consciousness. Nothing exists outside this all-encompassing awareness. We exist in God; we move, grow, understand, and act within Divine Awareness. This insight is radical and powerful. It grants us perspective, the strength to follow the course of our lives in its ultimacy."

"The inner nature or essence of each thing or sentient being is united to every other in God and through God. The Divine essence is immanently present in each being and in the laws of the universe.

"Optimism is a choice. A future can be built on optimism but not on its opposite."
