Call to the Heights, Guidance on the Pathway to Self-illumination
Geoffrey Hodson

1 "Our earth and everything upon it…are intimately linked together."

2 “Humanity is made in God’s image.”

3 “The one real world is always there in its undivided wholeness.”

4 “If regarded solely by the mind, the human race exhibits a great diversity; seen by intuitive perception and implicit insight, these differences are found to be largely limited to the surface. Below the surface can be discerned an underlying bond which holds together, in unbreakable unity, all human beings – indeed, all that exists.”

5 “This One Alone is no mere philosophic abstraction, but a Reality.”

6 "Man as microcosm is one with the Divine or the macrocosm. The spirit, or Monad, of man is one with that supreme Spirit….The Deity is in no sense external to, different or separate from man. God and man are one and indivisible throughout all eternity."

7 "The Presence, as an indwelling spiritual life, is one and the same in every human being. It is the essential attribute of humanity's whole nature and is also one and the same in every single person on earth. Full realization of the interrelationship between people will bring the dawn of the Golden Age."

8 "Oneness is the supreme truth; its full and continuous realization the highest attainment of humanity."

9 "The cause of almost all human destructiveness and sorrow can be traced to absence of the knowledge that division is an error and oneness is the fact concerning human life – indeed all life."

10 “Man is a God-in-the-becoming. This, the ancient sages taught, is his destiny: ‘Ye shall be perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.’ (Matt. 5:48), ‘…look inward; thou art Buddha; become that which you are.’ (H. P. Blavatsky, ‘The Voice of the Silence’).”

11 "The living heart of all religion is experienced oneness with the Divine and its expression by means of wisely directed, loving service."

12 “No matter how great the disturbances, how persistent and for how long they may continue, their effects are temporary. The universally operative law causes harmonious equilibrium to be restored in the disequiliberated region.”

13 "Beneath all differences there lies concealed the unalterable fact of oneness."

14 "The inner Self abides in pure, simple, absolute awareness, radiant with its own light, expressing itself spontaneously in a secret infinity of joy."

15 “The Bhagavad Gita or the Lord’s Song states: ‘…And whoso thus discerns Me in all, and all in Me, I never let him go; nor loosens he hold upon Me.”

16 “All life within all forms is One Life.”

17 "As humanity quite naturally travels the evolutionary pathway, this state of realized oneness will become more easily attained."

18 “Unity with the One Life in all is the well or spring from which the waters of life are drawn, and active expression of deeply compassionate concern is the natural direction in which that water inevitably flows.”

19 “Gentleness, tenderness, caring deeply – these are the ways, however humble, by which the very best in a person’s life can shine forth.”

20 "Planetary disasters such as wars and personal catastrophies caused by wrong thinking may very justly be diagnosed as inability to perceive intuitively the unity of all forms of embodied life."

21 "The One is all-pervading and without division."

22 "Recognition of this relationship of oneness is the only possible way to personal, national, and international health, peace, and therefore happiness."

23 "The whole of humanity advances, however slightly, as each single human being progresses upon the spiritual pathway."

24 "Every note and chord of physical experience – sound, light, vitality, emotion, and thought – contributes to the complete harmony."

25 "Immortal and eternally continuing being, and an over-all universal identity are unthinkingly natural at all levels of awareness 'above' that of conceptual thought."
