WISDOM AND THE RELIGIONS
The Catholic is our brother but the materialist not less. We owe him deference as to the greatest of believers.

THE GOD OF ALL ; THE GOD WHO IS IN ALL - I - THE SOLE ESSENCE
The physical world is only a reflection of the spiritual.

THE DIVINE ESSENCE
Love which overflows on every side, which is found in the centre of the stars, which is in the depths of the Ocean — Love whose perfume declares itself everywhere, which nourishes all the kingdoms of Nature and which maintains equilibrium and harmony in the whole universe.

GOD IN ALL
God is not where we believe Him to be ; He is in ourselves.

TO BECOME GOD IN ORDER TO KNOW HIM
One must be God in order to understand God.

KNOW THYSELF
There is nothing greater than the practice of the precept which says, “Know thyself”.

THE TRUE SCIENCE
To know is not to be well informed ; it is our own effort that must reveal all to us and we can owe nothing to other than ourselves. / We must distinguish between the knowledge which is due to the study and analysis of Matter and that which results from contact with life and a benevolent activity in the midst of humanity.

THE WAY OF LOVE
All the knowledge one can require emanates from this love.

MORAL INDEPENDENCE
Often man is preoccupied with human rules and forgets the inner law.

TO RENOUNCE THE ILLUSION OF THE WORLD)
So long as we are attached to the form, we shall be unable to appreciate the substance, we shall have no notion of the causes the knowledge of which is the true knowing.

THE MASTERY OF THE MIND
When a thought rises in us, let us see whether it is not in touch with the inferior worlds.
