“Every acceptance of suffering is an acceptance of that which exists. The denial of every form of suffering can result in a flight from reality in which contact with reality becomes ever thinner, ever more fragmentary. It is impossible to remove oneself totally from suffering, unless one removes oneself from life itself, no longer enters into relationships, makes oneself invulnerable.” RealityFormSufferingResultsImpossibleAcceptanceOneselfContactFlightDenialRemove Book:Suffering Source: Suffering
“A convention is a social pattern we have chosen to prefer over whatever the raw world simply proffers. It is a sign of the operation of the mind, drawing the assent of a sufficient number of other minds so that the agreement will be widely operative. A convention is not a custom; a custom is a habit in which a sufficient number acquiesce. A custom can appear as a convention, but it is really a lesser act, the result of passive acceptance rather than of the imposition of design. It is the difference between learning to live by the annual flooding of the river or by a calendar.” WorldMindSocialDifferencesResultsNumbersDesignAcceptanceHabitRiversPatternsDrawingChosenOperationsSufficientAgreementLive ByCustomsConventionsPassiveCalendarsAnnualsFloodingImposition Author:A.

“How shall we define occultism? The word is derived from the Latin occultus, hidden; so that it is the study of the hidden laws of nature. Since all the great laws of nature are in fact working in the invisible world far more than in the visible, occultism involves the acceptance of a much wider view of nature than that which is ordinarily taken. The occultist, then, is a man who studies all the laws of nature that he can reach or of which he can hear, and as a result of his study he identifies himself with these laws and devotes his life to the service of evolution.” MenWorldFactsLawResultsViewsStudyTakenAcceptanceEvolutionInvisibleVisibleLatinLaws Of Nature Author:Charles Webster Leadbeater
