THE ONLY REAL TEMPLE -- WHERE IS IT?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Dear Friends,


Outer, physical Temples can be seen, at best, as metaphors for,
or projections of, the temple or divine presence in our own consciousness.

Referring to the old Socrates of Athens, , H. P. Blavatsky wrote:


“From the days of the primitive man described by the first Vedic poet, down to our modern poet, there has not been a philosopher worthy of that name, who did not carry in the silent sanctuary of his heart the grand and mysterious truth. If initiated, he learnt it as a sacred science; if otherwise, then, like Socrates repeating to himself, as well as to his fellow-men, the noble injuction, ‘O man, know thyself’’, he succeeded in recognizing his God within himself." (1)

The esoteric movement is only a stimulating and testing common ground for that inner recognition.

Best regards, Carlos Cardoso Aveline
