The Sabian Thesaurus

September, 2004 – Number 807

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 September, 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.

The Magical Message

Not what we are or what we propose to be nor what has led us here or failed to guide us there is of importance but only what we are in spirit and in truth or how we stand with ourselves deep in the hearts of us. (VIII)
