Read not the Times. Read the Eternities. Conventionalities are at length as bad as impurities. Even the facts of science may dust the mind by their dryness, unless they are in a sense effaced each morning, or rather rendered fertile by the dews of fresh and living truth.

If I understand Ouspensky correctly, no amount of ordinary development is sufficient - yes it is necessary but only insofar as one realises that all of it takes you nowhere veridically.

No matter what your spiritual condition is, no matter where you find yourself in the universe, your choice is always the same: to expand your awareness or contract it.

While I agree with the sentiment I have no idea how this is here relevant.
All that is possible is done to help men, but men will not or cannot make the necessary efforts themselves. And they cannot be helped by force.”

This test is something like a competitive examination open to the whole human race, and the idea of a competitive examination alone explains why the #esoteric circle appears reluctant to help humanity. It is not reluctant.

“A man may hope to approach #esotericism if he has acquired a right understanding from ordinary knowledge, that is, if he can find his way through the labyrinth of contradictory systems, theories & hypotheses, & understanding their general meaning & significance.

When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.
