All men desire by nature to know. Every man wants to know. What lies beyond his present mental horizon. Knowledge is that which, next to virtue,. Truly raises one person above another. There is no desire more natural. Than the desire for knowledge. We try all the ways that can lead us to it. It is good to love the unknown. A scholar has no ennui. Where the tree of knowledge is,. One of the greatest joys of man.

Is he who takes his own flesh. As material for his sculpture,. His own face and body as a canvas on which to paint,. His own thoughts and feelings as clay to be moulded. He wants all the beauty and harmony of creation to flow. And be expressed through his being. The physical body is our responsibility,. Our property to work on, change and improve. When you reach the point.

For the rest of my life. I want to reflect on what light is. I keep the subject constantly before me. And wait till the first dawnings open slowly,. Little by little, into a full and clear light. That from which, through which, in which. May be found all things, out of which all things come. Thus the first of everything which may be visible. In earth, in heaven, and in space is that of Light, is that Light. We are actually born out of light, you might say. I believe light is the maker of all material.

The opposite sidewalk calls to us. It is the most negative thing. To ignore the call of the sidewalk opposite. Everything has its pairs of opposites;. Like and unlike are the same;. Opposites are identical in nature,. But different in degree;. All truths are but half truths,. All paradoxes may be reconciled. There is a pair of opposites in all things;. In each thing there exists the spirit of the opposite. To know one thing,.

A symbol evolves from the interplay. Of nature and projection,. The Book of Symbols;. The symbol is neither abstract nor concrete,. Neither rational or irrational, neither real nor unreal. In which the world outside. Is a symbol of the world inside,. A symbol for our souls and our minds. In which we express inner experience.

Give me the clear blue sky over my head,. And green turf beneath my feet,. And winding road before me. I laugh, I run, I leap, I sing for joy. I begin to feel, think, and be myself again. We ought to dance with rapture. That we should be alive,. And in the flesh,. And part of the living, incarnate cosmos. The same stream of life. That runs through my veins. And dances in rhythmic measures. I just want to celebrate. And all this joy? .

Life stands before me like an eternal spring. With new and brilliant clothes. There is only the infinite passion of life. A Constant State of Birthing. To my inner perceptions,. Is constantly in a state of birthing -. Myriad possibilities, potentials, insights,. Energies and qualities are emerging daily -. And we are deeply woven into that process. As midwives, participants,. How alive are you? .

Hidden away in the inner nature of the real man is the law of his life. And some day he will discover it and consciously make use of it. He will heal himself, make himself happy and prosperous,. And will live in an entirely different world. For he will have discovered that life is from within and not from without. When a man gives his order to produce a definite result. And stands by that order it seems to have the effect. Of giving him what might be termed a second sight. According to the great law,.

Can and shall be done,. And then we shall find the way. All philosophy lies in two words,. Sooner or later each person. For what he has understood. Infinite gratitude to all things past;. Infinite service to all things present;. Infinite responsibility to all things future. The more you cultivate,. If you wish to reach the highest,.

The power to live as one wishes. The right to create for oneself. Freedom for each individual Spirit. Is freedom to pursue its way. In the labyrinth of life,. According to is own instincts,. And express itself according to its uniqueness. Each one must feel free. To act on the basis of his own individual judgement,. And be responsible to himself. For his decisions, mistakes and action. Freedom is not worth having.
