Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings, Chapter 33

Lucifer is the greatest mystery of symbolism. The secret knowledge of the Rosicrucians concerning Lucifer is nowhere so plainly set forth as in these plates, which virtually reveal his true identity, a carefully guarded secret about which little has been written. Lucifer is represented by the number 741.

Nikola Tesla, 1891

"Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by Power obtainable at any point in the Universe... throughout space, there is energy...it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature." -Nikola Tesla, 1891

Load Universe into Cannon. Aim at Brain. Fire.

Professor Cooke, New Chemistry

The history of Science shows that the age must be prepared before scientific truths can take root and grow. The barren premonitions of science have been barren because these seeds of truth fell upon unfruitful soil; and, as soon as the fullness of the time has come, the seed has taken root and the fruit has ripened ..."

Paracelsus

Seeking for truth, I considered with myself that if there were no teachers of medicine in this world, how would I set to learn the art? No otherwise than in the great book of nature, written with the finger of God ... I am accused and denounced for not having entered in at the right door of art. But which is the right one? Galen, Avicenna, Mesue, Rhasis, or honest nature? I believe, the last! Through this door I entered, and the light of nature, and no apothecary's lamp directed me on my way.

Sweeney Todd, the movie

At the top of the hole sit a privileged few.
Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo.
Turning beauty into filth and greed.

--------------------

There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled of shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it

Obadiah S. Harris, Ph.D.

Wisdom is not a book, not a title, not a position. It is the result of experience with the nature of reality.

Someone asked Buddha if he was a god, he said no.
"A saint?"
"No."
"Then what are you?"
"Awake."

Obadiah S. Harris, Ph.D.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Wherever we go, whatever we do, self is the sole subject we study and learn."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Giordano Bruno

The chief position in the Italian school of philosophy should be awarded to Giordano Bruno, who, after enthusiastically accepting Copernicus' theory that the sun is the center of the solar system, declared the sun to be a star and all the stars to be suns. In Bruno's time the earth was regarded as the center of all creation. Consequently when he thus relegated the world and man to an obscure corner in space the effect was cataclysmic. For the heresy of affirming a multiplicity of universes and conceiving Cosmos to be so vast that no single creed could fill it, Bruno paid the forfeit of his life.

Neo-Platonism

Neo-Platonism was the supreme effort of decadent pagandom to publish and thus preserve for posterity its secret (or unwritten) doctrine.

Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Sir Francis Bacon

A little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.

AIN SOPH

THE Qabbalists conceive of the Supreme Deity as an Incomprehensible Principle to be discovered only through the process of eliminating, in order, all its cognizable attributes. That which remains--when every knowable thing has been removed--is AIN SOPH, the eternal state of Being. Although indefinable, the Absolute permeates all space. Abstract to the degree of inconceivability, AIN SOPH is the unconditioned state of all things. Substances, essences, and intelligences are manifested out of the inscrutability of AIN SOPH, but the Absolute itself is without substance, essence, or intelligence. AIN SOPH may be likened to a great field of rich earth out of which rises a myriad of plants, each different in color, formation, and fragrance, yet each with its roots in the same dark loam--which, however, is unlike any of the forms nurtured by it. The "plants" are universes, gods, and man, all nourished by AIN SOPH and all with their source in one definitionless essence; all with their spirits, souls, and bodies fashioned from this essence, and doomed, like the plant, to return to the black ground--AIN SOPH, the only Immortal--whence they came.

Manly P. Hall

The Pythagoreans averred that mathematics demonstrated the exact method by which the Good established and maintained its universe. Number therefore preceded harmony, since it was the immutable law that governs all harmonic proportions.
