The Sabian Thesaurus

November, 2004 – Number 809

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 November, 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

When man acts in God’s nature it is possible for God to participate in His own, and when man seriously stirs to awareness of the immortal flame within he is creating God in a practical sense through the endless process in which every aspect of divinity is brought to center through self. (BL 871)

The inner spark is quickened when man discovers how true plussage in his being operates in parallel with a cosmic plus, so that his own divine flame in fact is at work before he can ever suspect its coming. (BL 872)

Aristotle’s Biology (“F”)

Anything is what it does, and what is does is what the doing in question has to be at base in the frame of reference where it takes place as well as in the maintenance of the history of itself. (II, p. 12, para. 2)

An organism becomes truly individual as it is able thus to hold the potentialities of wide and immediate variations in experience within itself. (VII, p. 20, para. 3)

The Mosaic Covenant (“E”)

Love is more than moonlit urge and life more than windblown chance. (XXXI, p. 93, last paragraph)

There are all too few actualities in life, and these are not to be destroyed out of hand. All that is worthwhile in life must remain fixed on its original foundations and must be allowed to stay there. (XXXI, p. 92 para. 3)

The great law of being is to play the game of life or to change life if at all only after becoming a part of it successfully. (XXXII, p. 96)

Message From The Blue Letters

Immortality is not a mere continuance in time of a selfhood that can have any actually discrete existence of measurable duration but rather is a continuous and utterly ramifying fulfillment of a necessarily personal being that yet finds itself affirmed in all life, and no less affirms all life in its own very particular experience. (BL 1135)
