Yes, teach your principles of good, but do not think to limit God within

Yes, teach your principles of good, but do not think to limit God within them. The goodness of each of us is peculiar to ourselves. For what we call “good” comes from the favorable effects caused beneath the mind-mesh. Consequently, it is our name, our thought, and not the lasting Divine Thought... Sign in to see full entry.

January 13 Do not limit God to your virtue. God is beyond your virtues, O pious ones! Virtues can only be of two natures—those conceived by God and those conceived by human beings. Virtue as conceived by God is nothing but Love, although it may be said to have the seed of all virtues. Passing... Sign in to see full entry.

January 10 An ideal is beyond explanation. To analyze God is to dethrone God. The realm of Ideals, or what Plato called Ideas, exists above the mind-mesh.

January 8 If people but knew their own religion, how tolerant they would become, and how free from any grudge against the religion of others. What is this knowledge of religion?

January 7 The only power for the mystic is the power of love. This has two explanations: There is one Power in the Universe, and that Power is Love.

January 5 No one has seen God and lived. To see God we must be non-existent. It is the human mind which determines human existence. When one rises above the mind-mesh, existence continues but one does not. That is to say, the life in God is the non-existence of human life. So long as we exist as... Sign in to see full entry.
