”We can only escape from the world by outgrowing the world. Death may take man out of the world but only wisdom can take the world out of the man. As long as the human being is obsessed by worldliness, he will suffer from the Karmic consequences of false allegiances. When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even though he still dwells physically among worldly things. ”
– Manly Palmer Hall

Sketchbook meanderings from a few months ago. Been trying to maintain the teachings of Barron Storey, one of my mentors from long past, and keep these as journals rather than sparse doodle books. This is the title page from my 4th Journal.

“Thoughts are just moving through consciousness.
They have no power.
Nothing has reality until you reach it, grab it,
and somehow impregnate it with the power of belief.”
“Mysteries there are in the Cosmos
that unveiled fill the world with their light.
Let he who would be free from the bonds of darkness
first divine the material from the immaterial,
the fire from the earth;
for know ye that as earth descends to earth,
so also fire ascends unto
fire and becomes one with fire.
He who knows the fire that is within
himself shall ascend unto the eternal fire
and dwell in it eternally.”
