Occult philosophy seems to have been the nurse or godmother of all intellectual forces, the key of all divine obscurities, and the absolute queen of society in those ages – when it was reserved exclusively for the education of priests and kings.
It reigned in Persia with the Magi, who perished in the end, as perish all masters of the world because they abused their power; it endowed India with the most wonderful traditions and with an incredible wealth of poesy, grace, and terror in its emblems;
it civilized Greece to the music of the lyre of Orpheus; it concealed the principles of all sciences, all progress of the human mind, in the daring calculations of Pythagoras; fable abounded in its miracles, and history, attempting to estimate this unknown power,
became confused with fable; it undermined or consolidated empires by its oracles, caused tyrants to tremble on their thrones and governed all minds, either by curiosity or by fear.

§. 3. Thirdly, how the soul directs the spirits for the motion of the body according to the several animal exigents; is as perplex in the theory, as either of the former. For the meatus, or passages, through which those subtle emissaries are conveyed to the respective members,
being so almost infinite, and each of them drawn through so many meanders,
cross turnings, and divers roads, wherein other spirits are continually a-journeying; it is wonderful,
that they should exactly perform their regular destinations without losing their way in such a wilderness: neither can the wit of man tell how they are directed. For that they are carried by the manuduction of a Rule, is evident from the constant steadiness

"This is the basis of the correct view of human evolution. There is no compulsory, mechanical evolution. Evolution is the result of conscious struggle. Nature does not need this evolution; it does not want it and struggles against it.
Evolution can be necessary only to man himself when he realizes his position, realizes the possibility of changing this position, realizes that he has powers that he does not use, riches that he does not see.
And, in the sense of gaining possession of these powers and riches,
evolution is possible.
But if all men, or most of them, realized this and desired to obtain what belongs to them by right of birth, evolution would again become impossible. What is possible for an individual man is impossible for the masses.

"Mostly, this guy is no good."
My wife suddenly uttered a word to throw it away at once.
"Oh, he is a man who doesn't understand anything, but I think it's amazing to be able to speak several languages."
"That's why you don't know anything.
There are 50,000 such people in Europe."
I couldn't follow the second phrase. I was just watching my wife's excitement.

I'm coming to the public beach of the lake. People are gathering like sunspots today. Hot summer every day. Everyone thinks the same.
I have been brave enough to play in the water, but my feelings are weakening.
I thought yesterday was a crisis of desperation. But now I'm smiling. I can't lie to myself.

"So why is he so bad?"
"Yeah. In a nutshell, someone can steal things from a weak, dying person.

A person who has done a painful act suffers, and many illnesses originate from the unfortunate show. Those who are delighted to afflict others will suffer a lot in the future.

That is why Christ said that if one cheek is struck, the other cheek should be extended.
He means that if he finds himself doing something wrong, he should repent. Simply put, it means to think about the other person's position and act accordingly.
In other words, there is no top or bottom in this world. There are high-ranking beings that are mentally evolving,
but since the lid is supporting it as the bottom, the higher it goes, the slower it becomes as if considering the bottom. So, this means that the more you become acquainted, the more humble you become.
Larger beings support smaller beings in the micro.

It's a gentle autumn. It's sunny today as well. There is nothing to commit together now.
I have a gentle feeling like a song that I sing naturally. Let's grow it carefully.
It's chaotic. There are many people. It may resemble a little Madrid.
However, the city may have the same atmosphere even if the flavor is slightly different. The stage where I can't take a deep breath is dry. If you break into an alley and follow a small road, you will catch the feeling of a damp human being.
"I can't live here anymore," the woman muttered with her own heart.
It's not new. I was already wandering from my teens. By the time she was 17, she pretended to be an adult and stayed alone in a luxury hotel. A liar genius. Or a famous actress.

And in the dawn of recorded history – about 3000 B.C. – the civilisations of the Nile valley, the Indus valley and Mesopotamia are riddled with ideas of gods, demons and sorcerers. Some time in this fourth millennium B.C., Image
the human race took its most tremendous leap forward so far – a leap so remarkable that one is tempted to credit the imaginative speculation of Arthur C. Clarke in his 2001 that more intelligent beings from outer space have periodically taken a hand in mankind's development.
The Stone Age lasted until sometime between 4000 and 3000 B.C., and man used stone knives, flint spearheads, stone or wooden ploughs. And then man discovered the use of metals. We do not know how it happened. Image
