The Sabian Thesaurus

 

May, 2004 – Number 803

 

Each month, students are invited select one sentence from the Blue Letter, Philosophy and Bible lessons from the sets in the previous month which they have found to be especially meaningful. These selections are included when the next set of monthly lessons are mailed. It is extraordinary to see how many of the selections match each other, and instructive as to where lies the focus of the consciousness.

 

Here are the selections for the month of May, 2004, as well as a selection from the Thesaurus fifteen year ago. It is possible that these selections, and the lessons from which they are taken, may also speak to you.

 

Message From the Blue Letters

 

The goal of the seeker under the Solar Mysteries is service to humanity under a reciprocal arrangement whereby he sustains an eternal reality that others by recognizing in him what he has achieved through his self-refinement enable him to share as a steadiness in the total community of these others who are aware of the stimulus. (BL 847)

 

The Art of Play (“G”)

 

Life is mastered by continualness in effort contributed and mastery is its proper direction.

(III p. 9, para. 5)

 

Candidates for initiation must grow to the point that whenever and however they enter the play they proceed with the whole of their heart and soul and mind and muscle. (V, p.14, para. 3)

 

A genuine hero is always too busy with his heroism to have time for posing. (VI, p. 18)

 

The Mosaic Covenant (“E”)

 

The real Yahweh is a God within, a fact that Moses implies in the whole of Deuteronomy and this Jesus unmistakably teaches. (IV, p. 11, para. 2)

 

As a matter of fact this may be said to be the foundation of Jesus' teaching that the Father is known only through the Son or that higher spirit is known only through its incarnation in daily and tangible affairs and that the goal or kingdom of heaven is on earth and is situated in the heart of every seeker. (IV, p. 11, para. 2)

 

Man cannot be bigger than his inspiration. (IV)

Passion Week

 

The only sure foundation for a seeker after higher and eternal things lies in consciousness of the kingdom of heaven within that shapes and molds the affairs of outer life. (XLIII)
