Quote by Jacques Loeb

“Since Pawlow and his pupils have succeeded in causing the secretion of saliva in the dog by means of optic and acoustic signals, it no longer seems strange to us that what the philosopher terms an 'idea' is a process which can cause chemical changes in the body.”

“Laura described the remnants of snake devotion still found in rural villages of the Black and Adriatic Seas. There, people believed black or green snakes bore guardian spirits who protected their cattle and their homes. In her travels Laura saw ornamental snakes carved to decorate the roofs and windows for protection. Great good fortune came to anyone who met a big white snake wearing a crown,; the crowned snake was the sister of the waterbird goddess, owner and guardian of life water and life milk.”

“When every car is moving to the fast lane. The fast lane becomes slow. That is what happens to you too. When you are doing , what everyone else is doing. When everyone is doing the same thing. When people are trying to recreate the event or moment that was good. It delays your progress and success, but if you stick to your own lane. You might get to your destination which is progress and success in time.”

“For Leadbeater, the resurrection of Christ is our symbolic awakening from material slumber into astral life. If we can awaken to the reality of our situation despite our embodied condition, then we achieve a sort of solidity of soul that allows us to jump outside the cycle of reincarnation. In this state we can incarnate at our leisure in the vehicle of our choice. Now hinting at a sort of Bodhisattva-Christ ideal, Leadbeater suggests we might, after our own awakenings and ascensions into the astral (and then the transastral) planes, descend again to aid the evolution of humanity.”
