MARCUS AURELIUS. Because you find a thing very diffi- cult, do not at once conclude no man can master it. But whatever you ob- serve proper and practicable by another, believe likewise within your own power. MARCUS AURELIUS. All the powers of the universe are potentially contained in man and man's physical body. PARACELSUS. gear BSoofc Jfefcruarp Each man has all the wisdom of the world in himself. He possesses one kind of knowledge as much as another, and he who does not find that which is in him cannot truly say that he does not possess it, but only that he was not capable of successfully seeking it. PARACELSUS. To grasp the invisible elements, to attract them by their material corre- spondences, to control, purify and transform by the living power of the Spirit, that is true alchemy. PARACELSUS. You need not be surprised to hear such things are possible, because every thing is possible that is consistent with natural laws. PARACELSUS. Who is there ? It is thyself.

This aptitude comes from the spirit. PARACELSUS. The wisdom of the Supreme guides the motions of the stars ; likewise the reason of man rules the influences that rotate and circulate in his soul. PARACELSUS. The ideas exist and men may be able to grasp them. The individual terres- trial life should correspond to the laws governing the universe. PARACELSUS.

The teaching has been verified by those whose power of intellect has en- abled them to see and understand the things of the spirit. Wisdom comes to those whose hearts are open to receive it. Those who study Nature by her own light become lights themselves, whose rays illumine the world of mind. FRANZ HARTMANN. Spirit is air flying here and there, and returns from whence it came.

JOHN LOCKE. Nothing is more absolute than the command of the mind over the body. FENELON. The superior reason that resides in man is God Himself, and whatever has been discovered to be in man are evi- dent footsteps of the Deity. FENELON.

Besides ideas or objects of knowl- edge, there is likewise something which knows or perceives them, as willing, imagining, remembering about them. This perceiving active being is what I call mind-spirit, soul or myself. BERKELEY. If we follow this light of reason we shall collect the goodness and wisdom of the Spirit who excites them in our minds. BERKELEY. A man cannot be an image of God according to His likeness unless God be in him. SWEDENBORG. A man's mind is the man himself. SWEDENBORG. Jtepcjologtcal Hear Book Jfflarcij A man's mind is his spirit, and the body is the external by which the mind or spirit feels or acts in the world. SWEDENBORG. Will and understanding have been created and formed by the Lord in man, the will for his divine love, and the understanding for his divine wisdom. SWEDENBORG. The will and the understanding con- stitute man's very life. SWEDENBORG. There is a correspondence of all things of the mind with all things of the body. SWEDENBORG. The Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom cannot but be and exist in other beings created from Itself. SWEDENBORG.

Are you in earnest, seize this very minute; what you can do, or think you can, begin it. GOETHE. What sets in activity the association of thought itself is the will. SCHOPENHAUER. The intellect becomes tired ; the wil- is never tired, is everywhere coml pletely itself; knowing requires effort. The brain is the subordinate of the will, which alone is imperishable. SCHOPENHAUER. The objective is the consciousness of other things; subjective, self-conscious- ness. The whole world of perception is the mirror of the will.

We have our mind given us, that we may not cavil and argue, but that it may see into something, give us clear belief and understanding about some- thing, whereon we are then to proceed tO act.

An idea commands investigation which slowly elaborates into admirable work. Believe me, miracles are in us. BALZAC.

He loves to be taken by Faith. BALZAC. All these things proceed in silence, yet all is action, from the most vast to the smallest of the worlds and to the minutest atom of the creation that con- stitutes it yet all one, one Being im- mutable in its essence, mutable in its form.

Ideas suddenly illuminated assume vaster proportions certain truths are brought into order. The roots thus spread bring forth fruit in the intel- lectual sphere. BALZAC. God is always within us we think in Him. God enters in us to blossom there who fulfils all our aspirations and expands and multiplies us in Him- self. BALZAC. There is harmony, you join in it; there is a melody, its counterpart is in you. In that frame you will feel your intellect expanding and its insight reach- ing to prodigious distances. BALZAC.
