“That which is the Real Self of Man is the Divine Spark sent forth from the Sacred Flame.””
— William Walker Atkinson
“Divorce the idea of your being a physical being, and realize that you are above body. But do not let this conception and realization cause you to ignore the body. You must regard the body as the Temple of the Spirit, and care for it, and make it a fit habitation””
— William Walker Atkinson
“Before man attempts to solve the secrets of the Universe without, he should master the Universe within”
— William Walker Atkinson
“The "I" is the Divine Spark and cannot be extinguished.””
— William Walker Atkinson
“It is not necessary that you should compare yourself with others, or imagine yourself greater or higher than them. In fact, such comparisons are to be regretted, and are unworthy of the advanced Ego, being a mark and indication of a lack of development, rather than the reverse. In the Meditation simply ignore all consideration of the respective qualities of others, and endeavor to realize the fact that YOU are a great Centre of Consciousness”
— William Walker Atkinson
“The man in this stage of consciousness thinks of his "I" as a mental thing, having a lower companion, the body. He feels that he has advanced, but yet his "I" does not give him the answer to the riddles and questions that perplex him. And he becomes most unhappy. Such men often develop into Pessimists, and consider the whole of life as utterly evil and disappointing”
— William Walker Atkinson
“The mind, even although not controlled and directed by the Will, has a wonderful range, but, nevertheless, Man finds himself traveling around and around in a circle, and realizes that he is confronted continually by the Unknown. This disturbs him, and the higher the stage of "book learning" he attains, the more disturbed does he become.””
— William Walker Atkinson
“Before the Man is able to master, control, and direct the things belonging to him”
— William Walker Atkinson
“In his bones he manifests almost in the form of mineral life, in fact, in his bones, body and blood mineral substances actually exist.””
— William Walker Atkinson
