“The very punishments with which God visits His erring children are often turned into blessings. When the deluge was sent on a sinning world all the fountains of the great deep were opened (Genesis 7:11), but when the deluge ceased not all the fountains were stopped. Those containing the mineral waters with their healing properties were left open for the great benefit of man. […] The pure o

Chapter 6 Initiation “Initiation actually is just a word for opening the spirit. You see, we are crowded with many kinds of obstacles, invisible as well as visible, so the so-called initiation is the process of opening the gate of wisdom and letting it flow through this world, to bless the world, as well as the so-called Self. But the true Self is always

“It was taught in the inner temples that this visible Universe of Spirit and Matter is but the concrete Image of the ideal Abstraction; it was built on the Model of the first Divine Idea. Thus our Universe existed from eternity in a latent state. The Soul animating this purely spiritual Universe is the Central Sun, the highest Deity Itself. It was not the One who built the concrete form of the ide

The Buddha, even though He was a prince and having so much comfort and luxury, after enlightenment, He led a life of a begging monk without feeling the slightest discomfort and without feeling regret.

And then, it’s not necessarily that after we die, we know the pleasant ones. Maybe we fall into a lower level of existence, and that causes
