Unknown
H. P. Blavatsky
The Universe is the periodical manifestation of this unknown Absolute Essence.
H. P. Blavatsky
The Universe is called, with everything in it, MAYA, because all is temporary therein, from the ephemeral life of a fire-fly to that of the Sun.
H. P. Blavatsky
The Secret Doctrine teaches no Atheism, except in the Hindu sense of the word nastika, or the rejection of idols, including every anthropomorphic god. In this sense every Occultist is a Nastika.
H. P. Blavatsky
The Secret Doctrine is the common property of the countless millions of men born under various climates, in times with which History refuses to deal, and to which esoteric teachings assign dates incompatible with the theories of Geology and Anthropology.
H. P. Blavatsky
The Secret Doctrine is the accumulated Wisdom of the Ages, and its cosmogony alone is the most stupendous and elaborate system: e.g., even in the exotericism of the Puranas.
H. P. Blavatsky
The Secret Doctrine is not alone in speaking of primeval MEN born simultaneously on the seven divisions of our Globe.
H. P. Blavatsky
The Occultists, however, know that the traditions of Esoteric Philosophy must be the right ones, simply because they are the most logical, and reconcile every difficulty.
H. P. Blavatsky
The key to the Brahmanical secret code remained henceforth with the initiates alone, and the Brahmins were thus in a position to publicly deny the correctness of Buddha's teaching by appealing to their Upanishads, silenced for ever on the chief questions.
H. P. Blavatsky
The incipient monads, having never had terrestrial bodies yet, can have no sense of personality or EGO-ism.
H. P. Blavatsky
The claim that physical man was originally a colossal pre-tertiary giant, and that he existed 18,000,000 years ago, must of course appear preposterous to admirers of, and believers in, modern learning.
