The Universe Is The Periodical Manifestation Of

Science Regards Man As An Aggregation Of Atoms Temporarily United By A Mysterious Force Called The Life-principle. To The Materialist The Only Difference Between A Living And A Dead Body Is, That In The One Case That Force Is Active, In The Other Latent. When It Is Extinct Or Entirely Latent, The Molecules Obey A Superior Attraction, Which Draws Them Asunder And Scatters Them Through Space. This Dispersion Must Be Death, If It Is Possible To Conceive Such A Thing As Death Where The Very Molecules Of The Dead Body Manifest An Intense Vital Energy.

Everything That Is, Was, And Will Be, Eternally Is, Even The Countless Forms, Which Are Finite And Perishable Only In Their Objective, Not In Their Ideal Form.

The Christians Were The First To Make The Existence Of Satan A Dogma Of The Church. What Is The Use In A Pope If There Is No Devil ?

Dogma? Faith? These Are The Right And Left Pillars Of Every Soul-crushing Theology. Theosophists Have No Dogmas, Exact No Blind Faith.

Reflect Upon The Defects Of Your Character: Thoroughly Realize Their Evils And The Transient Pleasures They Give You, And Firmly Will That You Shall Try Your Best Not To Yield To Them The Next Time.
