Insights of Sages and Masters
“That sages, widely separated geographically and with diverse environments and temperaments, should arrive at the same general conclusions attests the accuracy of their findings.”
–Manly P. Hall (American Theosophist, Freemason, Writer and Lecturer, 1901-1990)
Primal Revelation
“The Creator…in pointing with the word, he shows himself, and is revealed. This is the primal revelation, creation itself.”
–Georg Kühlewind (Hungarian Philosopher, Writer, Lecturer, and Meditation Teacher, 1924-2006)
{‘Becoming Aware of the Logos’ The Imagination of Pentecost: Rudolf Steiner & Contemporary Spirituality Richard Leviton}
“Imagination of Pentecost” (Richard Leviton)
How to Heal the Big Problems
“The broad sympathies and discerning insight needed for the healing of earthly woes cannot flow from a mere intellectual consideration of human diversities, but from knowledge of men’s deepest unity – kinship with God.”
–Paramahansa Yogananda (Indian Spiritual Teacher and, in 1920, Founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship, 1893-1952)
The Moment of Insight
“At the moment of insight, a potential pattern of organized behavior comes into being.”
–Rupert Sheldrake (English Biologist, Researcher and Author, 1942-)
A Dangerous Luxury
I get really concerned about a lot of the discussions on websites. Particularly when they have something to do with health and wellness: things that really matter a lot. There’s a lot more to helping people than quoting some facts and statistics, and a personal anecdote or two.
Here’s something written over three decades ago, and is even more true today:
“A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.”
–Herbert Marshall McLuhan (Canadian Communications Theorist and Educator, 1911-1980)
Knowing What You Know
“The best part of our knowledge is that which teaches us where knowledge leaves off and ignorance begins.”
–Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (American Physician, Writer, Poet and Speaker, 1809-1894)
An Ocean of Knowledge
“Theosophy is that ocean of knowledge which spreads from shore to shore of the evolution of sentient beings; unfathomable in its deepest parts, it gives the greatest minds their fullest scope, yet, shallow enough at its shores, it will not overwhelm the understanding of a child.”
–William Q. Judge (Irish-born American Lawyer, Mystic, Esotericist, Writer and one of the Founders of the Theosophical Society, 1851-1896)
The Fruits of Enlightenment
“Enlightenment – the awakening of insight that happens in yourself and is independent of others – makes it possible to create an everlasting world of beauty and harmony, the home of nirvana.”
–Yrjö Kallinen (Finnish Educator, Politician and Pacifist 1886-1976)
The Wonder and Glory of Who You Are
“All [masters] live today even as they did then, in the days of what you call your past. And all the masters and all the messengers – Buddha, Abraham, Baha’u’liah, Jesus, Krishna, Moses, Muhammad, and all the others – love you today as they did then, and invite you today as they did then to accept and embrace the wonder and the glory of Who You Are.”
–Neale Donald Walsch (American Writer, 1943-)
“Tomorrow’s God : Our Greatest Spiritual Challenge” (Neale Donald Walsch)
Your Dormant Faculties
“The capacities by which we can gain insights into higher worlds lie dormant within each one of us.”
–Rudolf Steiner (Croatian-born Austrian Mystic, Occultist, Social Philosopher, Architect and Founder of Anthroposophy, 1861-1925)
“How to Know Higher Worlds: A Modern Path of Initiation” (Rudolf Steiner)
