LAMPS OF WESTERN MYSTICISM
Arthur Edward Waite
|
|
1 |
"The science of the soul is a science of active love."
|
|
2 |
"The years of spiritual life on earth are as certain moons following conception, during which the form of divine desire is developed within us; and in due season we shall issue forth to see with our own eyes that which all things now foreshadow, all faiths make evident."
|
|
3 |
"Humanity ends where it began also, in the Divinity which is its home."
|
|
4 |
"'It is love which makes the world go round', says an old, familiar adage…the truth of all is behind it."
|
|
5 |
"Let us seek in love for the centre of Divine Love; let us strive to cast our whole being therein; let that love be behind all our intentions, our acts within and without."
|
|
6 |
"The secret law which underlies manifested being is that of the Presence of God."
|
|
7 |
"Christianity, Indian Philosophy and Kabalism join in the recognition of an imperishable part of man and in its capacity for Divine Union."
|
|
8 |
"We are mind, desire and will, corresponding to the Great Mind, the Great Purpose and the all-embracing Love."
|
|
9 |
"Consciousness in eternal love is the state in which God is All in all."
|
|
10 |
"Goodness communicates its lights to men and remakes them to the likeness of His Sovereign Perfection."
|
|
11 |
"Knowledge is an inward state of our own essential being."
|
|
12 |
"The first realisable truth concerning the soul of man is the native nobility of that which can dream of union with God, can also attain it,…and by the experience of such attainment discovers that in the soul itself…is God realised and known in the sacred nature of things."
|
|
13 |
"Our human nature is a temple of the Divine Presence."
|
|
14 |
"It is love which cleanses and love alone that sanctifies."
|
|
15 |
"The end of Western Mysticism was the return of the many into the One."
|
|
16 |
"There is no aspiration and no ambition to compare with the search after truth. The necessity of truth is as imperative as that of love, but indeed the distinction is idle because truth is love."
|
|
17 |
"God is immanent in the soul, and we conceive Him also as abiding in the universe, or that cosmic order to which we belong and of which we form a part."
|
|
18 |
"We are dwelling already in that love which is wedded to its source in God."
|
|
19 |
"The driving power of the mind is love."
|
|
20 |
"I think personally that God is All in all – yesterday, today and forever."
|
|
21 |
"We are an immeasurable faculty of reception in the knowledge which comes from love."
|
|
22 |
"The Cosmic Christ…dwells within us. The realisation of His presence is by love."
|
|
23 |
"God [is] All in all for all that lives and has its being in Him."
|
|
24 |
"The Divine in man is not in separation from the Divine in the cosmos…it is one with one."
|
|
25 |
"He Who is everywhere, without change or shadow of vicissitude, is never absent."
