The Finding of the Third Eye
Vera Stanley Alder
This is a guide to attainment of awareness through the path outlined by ancient wisdom, comparing it with the discoveries of modern science.

1 "Meditation has been used throughout the ages as the means by which a person can link his brain, mind and soul together, and connect them consciously with the Universal Intelligence."

2 "His [Christ's] work was to transfer the possibility of attainment from the few to the many, to simplify the great Truths for the use of all humanity and to introduce the ultimate act of attainment, the awakening of the Love principle in the heart."

3 "The Creative Force within us is one single force."

4 "When the aspirant can grow to love his neighbours for their struggles and faults, and utterly abstain from any critical feeling, then 'will all things be added unto him.' There will be no barriers to prevent it. Like attracts like, and his own honesty and charity will inevitably draw to him as to a magnet all that is good."

5 "'Man, Know Thyself' was the ancient command written above the temple door. If we persevere with this fascinating study we will find that in the form of every human being the universe is presented to us."

6 "Universal love…produces an understanding of all that exists in nature."

7 "'Love thy neighbour as thyself' – so simple and so clear! And quite enough to change this tortured earth to a lovely place."

8 "Man is a god in the making, and the goal is waiting before him."

9 "Fear is something of our making, and it paralyses us and renders us stupid."

10 "He whose aspirations are high, sincere and enduring may begin at once to achieve Godhood and acquire first-hand knowledge of the secrets of the universe."

11 "Man has the capacity to connect his mind with the highest unseen cosmic intelligence – the mind of Nature."

12 "The cry for world-unity, peace, brotherhood and the casting down of barriers is increasingly making itself heard."

13 "The Wisdom Teaching, down the ages, has come forth from God and thrown the needed light upon the ways of men. It has taken the form outwardly of the world religions, but has always presented to those whose eyes were open those esoteric truths and those clear instructions whereby man can find his own soul and his way back to the centre of life."

14 "The greatest things we can have – wisdom, health and power – are all-pervading and cannot be divided. They can only develop and be shared."

15 "Service leads to working with others, the beginning of that Universal Brotherhood which is inevitably and actually coming into being before our eyes."

16 "Believe in the One great Divinity."

17 "The function, action, and quality of the heart is love. Love in its broadest sense is the desire for reunion with the divine Spirit of the Creator which permeates all life."

18 "Everything is…intimately connected with everything else."

19 "Everything in life is evolving upwards and onwards to a higher and more perfect state, having had its beginning in an uncreative, unconscious and elementary form, and growing and progressing through striving, sacrifice and struggle to a condition of creative selfconscious potent strength."

20 "'Man, know Thyself' was inscribed over the doors of the wonderful ancient temples of learning as the most important injunction to all aspirants."

21 "Confucius believed in the one God over all."

22 "Everything which you can love you can understand."

23 "The flame of regeneration and renaissance is burning high already, and many are the little sparks, fanned by patient souls, ready now to flare into a rich fulfillment."

24 "Man is said to contain within himself a facsimile of and a link with everything in the universe."

25 "It is very necessary to see life as a Whole."
