The Law of Righteousness. By Ananda Maitriya. (Allan Bennett)

“‘evil’ for the Buddhist is that which brings suffering in its train; and how the world we live in, and the destiny we bear,—its meed of pleasure and of pain,—is made in the greater part of the mental Doing we inherit; just as the world a man inhabits in his dreaming is component in the main of the thoughts and actions of his daily life.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. Anthropocene
  2. “it is an obvious fact that what we name the Universe is only the sum-total of our collective States of Consciousness, the total of our percepts and concepts; and in all our ideas about the existence of the Universe we are dealing, and dealing only, with the modifications of our own sensuous and mental modes”
  3. “as might be expecteced in a Religion where Theology and Pneumatology play no part, Ethics takes in it the foremost place”
  4. “a system of ethics founded on a reasoned argument from the known facts of life to what must surely follow, if the universal laws we see in operation in the world about us shall continue to hold good also in the Kingdom of the Mind.”
  5. “It is the darkest hour in all the evolution of a man, this realisation that the Self that he has striven to perfect and work for is no more than a delusion;-but it is also the darkest hour which goes before the dawn;-for soon that darkness passes, giving way to the light of a deeper and surer Wisdom”
