A Theosophical Discipline

Union and Harmony

UNION and HARMONY It is a law of occult dynamics that “a given amount of energy expanded on the spiritual or astral plane is productive of far greater results than the same amount expended on the physical objective plane of existence.”  This state will last till man’s spiritual intuitions are fully opened, which will not […]
