Quotes from Isis Unveiled by Helena Petrova Blavatsky.

Since the soul perpetually runs and passes through things in a certain space of time
which being performed, it is presently compelled to run back again through all things,
and unfold the same web of generation in the world. For as often as the same causes
return, the same effects will like manner be returned.      Chaldean Oracles.

" Can the theologian derive no light from the pure primeval faith that glimmers
from Egyptian hieroglyphics, to illustrate the immortality of the soul?

of the Archipelago with their forts and temples ? "          Gliddon.

" Direct not the mind to the vast measures of the earth,for the plant of truth

Death the great adventure. Lucis Trust.

In one of the ancient writings the following symbolic words are;
Said the Father to the son; Go forth and take unto thyself,that
which is not thyself,and that which is not thine own, but which is Mine.
Regard it as thine own, and seek the cause of its appearance.
Let it appear to be thyself. Discover thus the world of glamour,
the world of deep illusion, the world of faulsity. Then learn that
thou hast taken that which is not the goal of soul endeavor.
When that moment comes in each cycle and appearance of deception,
a voice will then be heard. Obey that voice. It is the voice of that
within thyself which hears My voice, a voice unheard by those who
love to thieve.
The order will go forth again and yet again. " Make restitution of the stolen
goods, pay back the debt."
Then when all the lessons have been learnt, the voice once more will
speak; " Restore with joy that which was Mine, was thine, and now
again is ours. Thou has no longer need of form. Stand free. "
Love true spiritual love as the soul knows it, can always be trusted
with power, and will never betray that trust. It will bring all things
in line with soul vision.

The power of love ( human ) British library cataloguing.

Love is the strongest force that exists on Earth. In fact as we climb the ladder between
the dimensions we find that love grows stronger. The reason for this is that love is power
of joining, of uniting and strengthening. Powers of rejection weaken each other.
Powers of joining on the other hand double or treble the power of the individual.
That is why love has no enemies and no enemies try to stand in the way of love.
Love is light, love shines through the dark night, it shines through the past, it shines
through the present and it shines through the future. It shines in Heaven,on Earth,
and in our hearts. It easily melts away all the evil in the world and pours out its
warmth on all sadness.
Love is life. All the people of the world,live on the bread of love;they live by loves
strength and think of love as the flame of life. Without love there is no life; without
love there is no death, without love ,there is no path, without love, there is no hope.
It is the bread it is the life.
Love is passion. Passion is the power of youth, and the belief in boundless possibility.
In that fiery energy is truth, and the ceaseless throbbing pulse of life.
Love is courage. Without love, people would not be roused to action. Without
love people would not be able to stand against death. Love is the flame that
lights the fuse of truth; it is the arrow dispatched against delusion.
Without the bond of love, people would wander their separate ways and simply
wait for dusk to fall.
Love is Harmony. It is through love that people grow close to each other,
forgive each other, nurture each other. Within the circle of love there is no anger,
no jealousy. Within the circle of love, there is only a great harmony.
Love is joy. Without love we would not know true joy. Love is the expression
of Gods joy and is the power that can banish sadness from the world.
Love is eternal. Love exists in the past,the present, and the future. There
has never been a time when love did not exist.
 Love finally is prayer. Without love there can be no prayer. Without prayer
there can be no love. Through prayer love becomes a positive force.
Prayer strengthens the power of love and in the secret power that deepens love.
God is love. Love is God. It is through the power of prayer, that love becomes
God. In this way, people can realize the full power of love.

Information collected along the way.

Confucious said, by the time you are 50 you should know the decrees of heaven,
and you should be living by them, You might say not know, but the answer comes

young and go on to do great things.             Confucious.

When an artist makes an image from a piece of stone,

He cuts off that which has concealed and covered up the image.        Salvador Dali.

There was a time when Egyptians had carnelian placed round the entrance
to their home, as a protection against evil.
If carnelian your mascot be,it brings happiness, and welfare to thee.
It drives away , all wrong apace, protecting you and all your place.

There are two methods of obtaining knowledge,one by argument,
the other by experiment. Argument make conclusions, and force us to
agree with them.
It does not make us feel certain or remove suspicion, that the mind
rests in assurance of Truth, unless this be found by experience.         Roger Bacon.

Now I realize that not infrequently, books speak of books. It is as if
they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed
all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of long centuries old
murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between, one parchment and another.
A burning thing, a receptacle of powers, not to be ruled by a human hand.
A treasure of secrets, emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those
who had produced them, or had been their conveyors.      U Eco.

The downward inclination of a stone is in it. No one can deprive it of this.
The stone does this work without intermission, day and night.
Even though it lay up above for a thousand years. It would incline
downwards neither more nor less than on the first day.

There are truths of a subtle and divine order to express, which in all their
inviolate completeness, human language seems almost incapable.
Only music, or poetry, can sometimes make the soul feel them.
Only ecstasy can show them, in absolute vision.
Only esoteric symbolism can reveal them to the spirit in a concrete way.    S Guaita.

Geography of Consciousness by William Arkle.

A high form of Existentialism comes close to Zen Buddhism, in that it is neither philosophy
or religion, but the beginning of true beingness. Now this true beingness is what has been
described elsewhere as the beginning of that order of consciousness, which is based on
our Self Nature,a form of Divine Consciousness. it gives the ability to play our Harp.
In other words, to respond with our highest instinct and discover, that awareness is
symphonic, and Universal, and relatively sublime.
The Universal Symphonic response to the music, which we eventually find our True Self
embedded in. It is the state of consciousness which, when it is achieved, makes sense
out of the process of becoming, wherein we string and tune our nature.This process
of becoming is itself, hard to understand, and hard to live through and full of paradoxes
so long as we are in it. When we become more detached from our bodies of
communication, and their informing consciousness or entities, we are then able
to view the situation and valuations from the Absolute level of consciousness,which
level is free of fears or desires which might be inclined to warp our judgement.
When we sense this innermost knowing which tells us what is better and what is best
it also enables us to take the pressure of fear, and desire, off our bodies and entities,
so that they can work more accurately and efficiently.
We have a series of garments, to fit every level of manifestation, and we learn to put
one on and another off, as we wish. These garments or bodies are like beads
on a string and the string is our Individual consciousness, and the powers which are
inherent in it. In the western world, it is the Christ Consciousness. In the east
it is the Buddha, or Universal love and concern.

Nature being Nature.

Nature contains nature, Nature rejoices in her own nature,Nature surmounts nature,
Nature can only be amended in her own nature.
Two forces attributing to matter and energy are comfort and terror.
The romance between the active principle of God,and the passive principle of Nature.
From the Mother, ( the passive Nature ) are the parts over which Nature has control:
His humanity, his mortal personality, His appitites, His feelings, and His emotions.

From the Father, ( the active Nature ) are, His Divine Spirit, the fire of aspiration,
the immortal part of Himself which rises triumphant from the broken clay of mortality,
that part that remains after the natural organisms have disintegrated,or have been
regenerated.
Nature is eternally consistant. Nature attains productivity by means of polarity.
Understanding at the point of equalibrium.

Nature can and does defend Herself against invasions of her privacy.
The Nature you see, is Her visible garment.
Nature is the vertigo of the Abyss; nothingness, nature or matter. She is One.

Love From the complete guide to mysticism

Cultivate compassion for everyone, and anything. Expand the mind beyond the
personal love which is limited.
Love for no reason or no reward. Love is the universal force of attraction,
which pulls like gravity, all things together as one.If we can transend our
sense of separateness, we will expand beyond the personal love , to an
unconditional compassion. Become the one loving the all. Sri Nisargadalla says;
Life is love, and love is life. What keeps the body together but love?
What is desire but love of self? What is fear but the urge to to protect?
What is knowledge, but the love of Truth ?
The means and forms may be wrong, but the motive behind is always love.
Love of me and mine, The me and mine maybe small, or may explode and
embrace the universe, but love remains.Saint Augustine said;
To fall in love with God, is the greatest of all romances,
To seek Him, the greatest adventure,
To find Him, the greatest human achievement.
