2		"The law of Love, expressed intelligently, must be applied to all human relationships."

3		"In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna suddenly sees the form of God, wherein all forms constitute the One Form."

4		"Every human being is a fragment of divinity, and an outpost of the divine consciousness, functioning in time and space for purposes of expression."

5		"Each one is, within himself, a hierarchy, a reflection of a great chain of being – the Being which the universe expresses."

6		"There are today enough centres of light, scattered all over the world, and enough disciples and aspirants, that the little beams or threads of light (speaking symbolically) which radiate from each of them, can meet and interlace, and form a network of light in the world."

7		"By pondering upon the good, the beautiful, and the true, we transmute our lower instincts into higher divine qualities. The attractive power of God's instinctual nature, with its capacity to synthesize, to attract and to blend, cooperates with the unrealised potencies of man's own nature, and makes his eventual at-one-ment with God, in life and purpose, an inevitable, irresistible occurrence."

8		"The instinctual sense of divinity..leads to reorientation in the right direction. This leads to – 1. The intelligent use of the mind so that it becomes consciously aware of the soul and of the laws which govern soul unfoldment: 2. The intuitive recognition of reality, which resolves the differentiated parts into a unit, producing illumination: and 3. This illumination reveals the essential oneness which exists on the inner side of life and negates the outer appearance of separativeness."

9		"The entire universe is a great theater of mirrors, a set of hieroglyphs to decipher; everything is a sign, everything harbors and manifests mystery. The principles of contradiction, of excluded middle, and of linear causality are supplanted by those of resolution, of included middle, and of synchronicity."

10		"Man is the sum total of those energies and forces which are unified, blended and controlled by that 'tendency to harmony' which is the effect of love and the outstanding quality of divinity."

11		"The mystery of the devil will eventually be seen to be that of the light of God's countenance, which reveals that which is undesirable and must be changed and renounced, and which thus transforms life by the light that God's nature pours forth."

12		"Each soul grows into the way of light through service rendered, through experience gained, through mistakes made, and through lessons learnt. That necessarily must be personal and individual. But the work itself is one. The Path is one. The love is one. The goal is one. These are the points that matter."

13		"Behind the manifested universe stands the formless One."

14		"Any psychological difficulty is universal and not unique. It is the sense of uniquenes – with its separative tendency and its realised loneliness – which is often the all-engrossing factor….The crisis faced indicates progress and opportunity, and it does not indicate disaster and failure….In the last analysis, psychological crises are indicative of progressive steps upon the Way."

15		"The result of the age-old trend or tendency towards divinity is inherent in every member of the human family."

16		"Humanity is the macrocosm of the microcosm; the gains and peculiar properties of the other kingdoms in nature are his, having been resolved into capacities of consciousness."

17		"Essence, consciousness and appearance are the three aspects of divinity and of humanity; the personality, when fully developed, is the appearance of God on earth."

18		"We draw forth from others what is actually present within ourselves."

19		"We use the word 'God' to signify the one expression of the One Life which animates every form."

20		"Despair is the negation of truth." Alice A. Bailey,

22		"God is the Great Server and expresses His divine life through the Love of His heart for humanity."

23		"Let love of God's eternal Plan control your life, your mind, your hand, your eye. Work towards the unity of plan and purpose which must find its lasting place on earth. Work with the Plan; focus upon your share in that great work."

24		"Steadily the unfolding purpose of our own souls (those 'angels of persistent and undying love') should gain fuller and deeper control over each of us, and this, at any personal cost and sacrifice, should be our steadfast aim. For this, in truth and sincerity, we should strive."

25		"It is the imagination or the picture-making faculty which links the mind and brain together and thus produces the exteriorisation of the veiled splendour."
