Quote by Manly Hall

“We can only escape from the world by outgrowing the world. Death may take man out of the world but only wisdom can take the world out of the man. As long as the human being is obsessed by worldliness, he will suffer from the Karmic consequences of false allegiances. When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even though he still dwells physically among worldly things.”

Horizon

A literary work bearing this title typically engages with ideas of exploration, discovery, aspiration, or the pursuit of knowledge beyond current understanding. Such a work may examine physical journeys across landscapes or seas, metaphorical quests for meaning and understanding, or the human condition as it relates to confronting limits and pushing beyond them. The title evokes both the promise of what lies ahead and the inherent limitation of human perspective, suggesting themes of ambition, curiosity, and the eternal human desire to see what lies beyond the edge of the visible world. more

“Before our globe had become egg-shaped or round it was a long trail of cosmic dust or fire-mist, moving and writhing like a serpent. This, say the explanations, was the Spirit of God moving on the chaos until its breath had incubated cosmic matter and made it assume the annular shape of a serpent with its tail in its month--emblem of eternity in its spiritual and of our world in its physical sense.”
