“The Quest of the Holy Grail, the Search for the Stone of the Philosophers - by whatever name we choose to call the Great Work - is therefore endless. Success only opens up new avenues of brilliant possibility. Yea, verily, and Amen! the task is tireless and its joys without bounds; for the whole Universe, and all that in it is, what is it but the infinite playground of the Crowned and Conquering Child, of the insatiable, the innocent, the ever-rejoicing Heir of Space and Eternity, whose name is MAN?” MenChildrenWholeJoySpiritualityUniverseNamesSpacePossibilityHolyStonesTasksEternityInfiniteBoundsPhilosopherBrilliantEndlessInnocentConquerRejoiceQuestsGreat WorkAvenuesHeirsAmenPlaygroundsInsatiableHoly Grail Book:Little Essays Toward Truth Source: Little Essays Toward Truth
“I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man's. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself?.” KnowsMenFormAnimalOpinionGreaterTreeCreaturesStonesInfinitePlantCompareRangeCowsContrastDefiniteMonkeysDeitiesSplinters Book:Memories, dreams, reflections Source: Memories, dreams, reflections
“Catholicity seized on man... and the mystics, transcending all, taught him to ascend on high with the wings of contemplation the Ladder of Jacob composed of brilliant stones, by which God descends to Earth and man ascends to Heaven, till Earth and Heaven, and God and man, burning together in a conflagration of infinite charity, are transmuted into one.” MenEarthTogetherHeavenTaughtStonesInfiniteWingsCharityBrilliantBurningContemplationLaddersJacobTranscending Author:Juan Donoso Cortes
“God cannot be represented by an image. We ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. We wrong God, and put an affront upon him, if we think so. God honoured man in making his soul after his own likeness; but man dishonours God if he makes him after the likeness of his body. The Godhead is spiritual, infinite, immaterial, incomprehensible, and therefore it is a very false and unjust conception which an image gives us of God.” IfsThinkingMenGivingArtSoulBodySpiritualOughtStonesGoldInfiniteSilverDevicesConceptionUnjustAffrontDishonour Author:Matthew Henry
