INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Many years ago it was my good fortune to 
 become acquainted with the writings of Andrew 
 Jackson Davis on the Spiritual Philosophy, or 
 Harmonial Philosophy, — a title that is better 
 known and associated with the author's name 
 and works, by those who read and know them. 
 To the persons and powers which prevailed, and 
 were the means of introducing me to a knowl- 
 edge and perception of their mission and great 
 value to the world, I can never cease to feel the 
 most profound gratitude. The principles and 
 teachings embodied in these writings were to 
 me, as I believe they have been to many others, 
 and what they cannot fail to prove to all who 
 honestly and faithfully seek for light through 
 them, a Savior who opened to my view a new 
 heaven and a new earth, — an unfailing Fountain 
 full of "jets of new meaning. " 
 
4 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Although reared from early youth with an 
 atheistic view of life, with its accompanying 
 unbelief in any personal responsibility regard- 
 ing the soul's future, yet I also inherited an 
 ardent admiration for the true and the beautiful. 
 I have naturally a profound reverence and love 
 for the sublime and wonderful in all the mani- 
 festations of nature. My spirit, therefore, was 
 not only ready but felt eager to break through 
 the encrusting materialism, and to recognize 
 more perfectly the inner meanings and import 
 of life. I needed some thing or some one who 
 might show me the true and sure way out from 
 the night of mental errors, and the gloom of 
 ignorance, into the full and blessed light of day. 
 
 Modern Spiritualism" came to me as a great joy, 
 assisting me over many rough and barren places 
 in my mental journeyings. It proved to me the 
 fact of a continued individual life beyond this 
 body-bound earthly existence; that the event 
 termed death is in reality a birth into a higher 
 and better conditioned life ; and that those who 
 pass beyond this portal can and do return to 
 earth, and with signs and messages give proof 
 of their identity and love. But the Harmonial 
 Philosophy, which embodies all that is good and 
 
INTRODUCTION. 5 
 
 true in all isms, was to me a still greater bless- 
 ing. It held aloft for me the Beacon Torch 
 which guided me out of all my former skepti- 
 cism into the perfect faith, and imparted an ever 
 growing knowledge of the principles underlying 
 and governing the methods and processes of 
 all existence. Amid the storms of severe and 
 almost engulfing personal experiences; when 
 the waters of life were made bitter as gall with 
 mental conflicts and doubts; "through dark 
 nights of sorrow mid anguish and tears " ; when 
 confidence in human and divine love grew weak 
 and feeble because of ignorance; when hope 
 well nigh hid its face, and faith most needed a 
 savior; then the light of the Harmonial Phi- 
 losophy illumined the gloom and desolation 
 with revealings of God's eternal justice, love, 
 and wisdom, working always for the redemption 
 and ultimate perfection of all. 
 
 I could now see that life's disciplines were the 
 chisels in the hands of a Divine Artist, who was 
 carving from the rock of ages beautiful forms 
 and fashioning them in his own likeness and im- 
 age ; and that we as human beings can, by living 
 purely and healthfully, soonest comprehend and 
 realize his secret intentions, — the evolution and 
 
b INTRODUCTION. 
 
 establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven in the 
 human heart. Many years ago, before any per- 
 sonal acquaintance with Mr. Davis, I was wont 
 to call myself a disciple of the "Harmonial Phi- 
 losophy," which term to many was an unknown 
 quantity without any significance. When read- 
 ing and studying its volumes I often met with 
 passages which to me embodied so much of wis- 
 dom and practical worth that I would be in- 
 spired with the wish and hope that some person 
 might be moved to select from out of the many 
 a sufficient number of paragraphs to make a 
 convenient and inexpensive book, so that any- 
 one not having access to the writings on these 
 spiritual themes might read the inspired pas- 
 sages. 
 
 One day, "in the gloaming," before the even- 
 ing lamp was lighted, and while reclining for a 
 little rest and meditation, I received an impres- 
 sion, which was imperative, that I was the 
 person to commence and accomplish this com- 
 pilation. Receiving the approval and encour- 
 agement of the author, I almost immediately 
 set to work to make selections and to prepare 
 them for publication. The result is this little 
 volume, Starnos, — my rosary of pearls as I

 call it, — which is tenderly and affectionately ex- 
 tended to the world, with the heart prayer that 
 its contents may convey to all who read it the 
 light and solace which every mind and heart 
 constantly needs. It has certainly been a labor 
 of love on my part, and if any hungering soul 
 can from its pages find the true comforter, then 
 my reward will be sure, and soul satisfying. 
 
 Greetings to all ! with the love and blessing 
 of the author and compiler.

 ARABULA. 
 
 Arabula is the perfect, the eternal, love- 
 light and light-love of the universe ; and when 
 it dwelleth in our superior consciousness, we 
 not only love it without fear, but also love 
 tenderly all humanity, and even the least and 
 lowest things of the earth, and the earth 
 itself, and likewise all things in the starry 
 heavens, with a love that is unutterable, 
 mysterious, sublime, and blossoming with 
 happiness. — Arabula, p. 110.

 AUTHOKITY. 
 
 The authority of the Harmonial Philos- 
 ophy is Truth ; it is not based upon the 
 Revelations of " Davis," but upon the Reve- 
 lations of Nature. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 375. 
 
 Nature, the great exponent of God; and 
 Reason, the great exponent of Nature, — these 
 are the supreme Authority upon all things 
 which pertain to man and his Maker. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 3, p. 390. 
 
 ASPIRATION. 
 
 To be like heaven let us aspire to heaven. 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 180. 
 
 Aspiration is the true basis of every true 
 idea concerning goodness, greatness, and 
 Deity.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 154. 
 
 Aspiration humanizes, spiritualizes, and 
 nobly defines every modification and tendency 
 of that internal promethean fire which ever 
 burns in the soul. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 154. 
 
STARNOS. 11 
 
 ATMOSPHERES. 
 
 There is a spiritual atmosphere within the 
 material atmosphere. The soul feeds on the 
 one, the body upon the other, until, by a refin- 
 ing process, they blend into one, whereby the 
 spirit is made to increase in substance. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 4, p. 54. 
 
 ASSOCIATION. 
 
 Particles of matter are associated accord- 
 ing to their shape, their size, and their tem- 
 perament. . . . One shape and temperament 
 of atoms, for example, will be attracted only 
 to granite ; another to quartz ; another to 
 limestone ; another to iron, or silver, or cop- 
 per, or gold ; . . . another to animals ; an- 
 other to the human form ; another to the 
 sun ; . . . another to trees ; another to the 
 human soul, — all, in accordance with the 
 degree of the harmony of shape, size, and 
 temperament (or attractions) of the compos- 
 ing atoms. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 277. 
 
12 STABNOS. 
 
 ANGELS. 
 
 As the Goddess of music takes down her 
 lute, touches its silver chords, and sets the 
 summer melodies of nature to words ; so an 
 angel from the Spirit Land comes to us in 
 our profoundest slumber and gently awakens 
 our highest faculties to the finest thought and 
 serenest contemplation. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 317. 
 
 ATTRACTION. 
 
 Attraction is that law which associates and 
 consociates, which joins and conjoins, atoms 
 with life, life with organization, organization 
 with intelligence. Therefore, this attraction 
 is the love-law of all organization ; the same 
 in the physical world as in the spiritual. . . . 
 The coming together of atoms conjugally 
 elected, — that is, according to their inherent 
 relations and essential affinities, — makes the 
 organal phenomena of field and forest, of sea 
 and sky.— Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 277. 
 
STARNOS. 13 
 
 ARISTOCRACIES. 
 
 One-third of the earth's population are 
 bound by the hand of disease, merely because 
 they are uneducated, inferiorly conditioned, 
 and unjustly treated by the exclusiveness of 
 classes and aristocracies. — Nat. Div. Rev., 
 p. 698. 
 
 ACHIEVEMENTS. 
 
 The greatest of achievements and the holi- 
 est of demonstrations is the actual passage 
 of private love-messages to and fro between 
 this rock-bound stormy shore and that vernal 
 margin just beyond the floating clouds. — His. 
 and Phil, of Evil, p. 46. 
 
 APPROBATION. 
 
 Speak boldly and fearlessly your earnest 
 and serious convictions, and Nature will smile 
 upon you with her divine approbations ; the 
 angels will rejoice, and the Divine Mind will 
 bless your mind with celestial knowledge. — 
 Nat. Div. Rev., p. 714. 
 
14 STAENOS. 
 
 ALLEGIANCE. 
 
 Perfect righteousness in one's allegiance 
 and conduct to whatsoever is good, true, 
 divine, and beautiful — to the pure, just, lov- 
 ing, wise, and merciful — is a principle of the 
 spirit— Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 83. 
 
 AGENTS. 
 
 Unseen powers within the spirit are certain 
 to be silently aided in the performance of 
 good deeds by vigilant agents of mercy who 
 daily move through the atmosphere of the 
 world upon the silvery wings of love. — Tem- 
 ple, p. 361. 
 
 ADVANCEMENT. 
 
 When the soul is sufficiently advanced in 
 strength, it discards its cradle, — it steps boldly 
 from the threshold of the tabernacle in which 
 it was born, — and treads the interminable 
 paths of infinitude like an angel of God. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 3, p. 64. 
 
STARNOS. 15 
 
 ANGER. 
 
 Impatient, angry tones never did the heart 
 good, but plenty of evil. — Fountain, p. 146. 
 
 AFFECTION. 
 
 Love is the source of quantity in a person. 
 There is great fullness of life where there 
 is great affection, which flows out of loye's 
 fountain. — Heavenly Home, p. 25. 
 
 ATTRACTION. 
 
 Noble sentiments and profound feelings of 
 human nature attract appreciable influences 
 from the invisible sphere whence emanates 
 " every good and perfect gift." — Memoranda, 
 p. 31. 
 
 ARGUMENT. 
 
 Argument is the kitchen work of the mind. 
 Wisdom never argues; it states principles, 
 and gives methods. It believes that nothing 
 can be taught; everything can be developed. 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 38. 
 
16 STABNOS. 
 
 AFFECTION. 
 
 Rightly seen, everything in nature is a 
 wise and special expression of divine affection. 
 
 — Fountain, p. 21. 
 
 ABSTINENCE. 
 
 If you cannot sleep well, abstain from food 
 and warm drink subsequent to four o'clock in 
 the afternoon. — Inner Life, p. 383. 
 
 AFFLICTION. 
 
 There is almost always a subduing, refin- 
 ing, and spiritualizing influence emanating 
 from the seeming evils of physical affliction. 
 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 145. 
 
 AFFECTION. 
 
 Every private affection throws out an at- 
 mosphere. Whatever your predominating 
 love may be, it emits an atmosphere which 
 winds itself about your person. — Death and 
 After Life, p. 134. 
 
STARNOS. 17 
 
 ASSOCIATION. 
 
 Everything has its own peculiar atmos- 
 phere, and consequently its specific and neces- 
 sary association. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 147. 
 
 ASPIRATIONS. 
 
 The eternal spirit of self -preservation throbs 
 mightily and supremely at the very heart of 
 all individual aspiration. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 396. 
 
 AMBITION. 
 
 A high, pure purpose, be it remembered, 
 is possible only to spirit. Ambition is earthly ; 
 aspiration is spiritual. — Phil. Spiritual Inter- 
 course, p. 353. 
 
 ATTRACTION. 
 
 Attraction is that principle of Love which 
 perpetually fills and harmoniously beats in, 
 and from, the two united hearts and heads of 
 Father God and Mother Nature. — Temple, 
 p. 108. 
 
18 STARNOS. 
 
 ACTIVITIES. 
 
 Activity is the wealth of the world, and 
 the use and destiny of man. — Nat. Div. He v., 
 p. 690. 
 
 AUTHORITY. 
 
 No mind ever received truth until it 
 divested itself of pride, arrogance, and attach- 
 ment to human Authority. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, 
 p. 134. 
 
 ANTIQUITY. 
 
 Antiquity is a poor authority, being char- 
 acteristically shrouded in the winding-sheet 
 of error, superstition, and misapprehensions 
 of the commonest facts. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 134. 
 
 ATMOSPHERES. 
 
 Every human soul is surrounded with an 
 atmosphere, more or less pure and influential. 
 This atmosphere is an emanation from the 
 individual, just as flowers exhale their fra- 
 grance.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 286. 
 
STAKTSTOS. 19 
 
 ANNIHILATION. 
 
 There is nothing capable of annihilation 
 in all the realms of Infinitude. — Penetralia, 
 p. 115. 
 
 ARABULA. 
 
 The sensibilities and sentiments and aspi- 
 rations and apprehensions of the superior 
 powers of mind are the voices of Arabula. — 
 Arabula, p. 371. 
 
 APPLAUSE. 
 
 If you are good, if you are great, the secret 
 will be found out. Do not mourn a moment 
 over the blindness and non-appreciation of 
 your fellowmen. — Beyond the Valley, p. 380. 
 
 ARBITRATION. 
 
 In any troubles and misunderstandings 
 which you may experience as arising from 
 your relations with others, do not forget the 
 Friendly Board of Arbitration, — Love, Sin- 
 cerity, Truth! — Beyond the Valley, p. 141. 
 
20 STAENOS. 
 
 ANGELS. 
 
 Justice, honor, truth, love, reverence, are 
 the " holy angels" that guard the inner tem- 
 ple.— Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 228. 
 
 AFFINITIES. 
 
 The mind's internal affinities are inter- 
 cohesive, and stronger than all extrinsic at- 
 tractions. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 326. 
 
 ART. 
 
 Art refines and spiritualizes the feelings, 
 and opens the interior senses to the more 
 glorious perception and appreciation of nat- 
 ure's beauties. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 87. 
 
 ANALYSIS. 
 
 Self-analysis is indispensable to spiritual 
 progress. . . . Self-discipline, self-confession 
 of faults, and self-harmonization will flow out 
 of the analysis, as streams flow from the foun- 
 tain.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 177. 
 
STARNOS. 21 
 
 AIMS. 
 
 Aim for Peace and Justice; think of a 
 better world that changes not. — Inner Life, 
 p. 148. 
 
 ARMOR. 
 
 That mind that loves truth more than any 
 other thing is clothed in the armor of Heaven. 
 — Inner Life, p. 42. 
 
 ABUSES. 
 
 Abuses and perversions creep into every 
 exalted sphere of human interest; and the 
 celestial flower-like loveliness and exquisite 
 delicacy of spiritual intercourse cannot claim 
 exemption. — Temple, p. 244. 
 
22 STAKNOS. 
 
 BEAUTY. 
 
 A body full of virtuous health — of har- 
 mony deserved — is a form of holy beauty. — 
 Harbinger of Health, p. 34. 
 
 BOOKS. 
 We are all authors. We write books. 
 Every day opens a fresh leaf in some heart, 
 on which we trace some line of thought, — 
 make some impression theron which can never 
 fade away. — Har. Man., p. 155. 
 
 BIRTH. 
 
 To be born, to come into the world, to 
 exist, to grow, to attain the full stature, and 
 live forever, — this is indeed sacred, wonder- 
 ful, awful, attractive, beautiful. — Gen. and 
 Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 61. 
 
STARNOS. 23 
 
 BONDAGE. 
 
 Strive by will-power and inward growth to 
 live less in bondage to circumstances. — Hist, 
 and Phil, of Evil, p. 220. 
 
 BEAUTY. 
 
 Beauty is the prophecy of the perfection 
 which is in store for each in the growth of 
 time. — Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 84. 
 
 BIGOTRY. 
 
 Creeds cannot withstand the pulverizing 
 advancement of positive science. Bigotry 
 cannot set back the on-rolling tides of univer- 
 sal Brotherhood. — Fountain, p. 74. 
 
 BLESSINGS. 
 
 Secure ye first the kingdom of harmony in 
 material things, — in diet, activities, dress, etc., 
 — then all the innumerable blessings of virtue 
 and progress shall be added. — Answers to 
 Questions, p. 39. 
 
24 STARNOS. 
 
 BLESSINGS. 
 
 Looking afar for a blessing, instead of just 
 at your feet, where the richest diamond lies 
 hidden in the coarse sand, illustrates the dif- 
 ference between a fool and a philosopher. — 
 Our Heavenly Home, p. 254. 
 
 BEAUTY. 
 
 Beauty is a condition, but it can only be 
 recognized and appreciated by a correspond- 
 ing internal state or attribute in the individual. 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 152. 
 
 When Nature is bathed in the glowing and 
 glorious emanations from the source of all 
 light and life, — and when every tree, every 
 bird, and every flower, is drinking in and 
 breathing forth the soft luxuriance of spirit- 
 ual hues, — then the mind cannot but perceive 
 and realize something of the loveliness and 
 magnificence of the Second Sphere to which 
 all mankind are journeying. — Gt. Har. Vol. 
 1, p. 280. 
 
STARNOS. 25 
 
 BROTHERHOOD. 
 
 That mind which is pure, aud properly 
 educated in the ways of wisdom, can only 
 recognize mankind as a Brotherhood. — Nat. 
 Div. Rev., p. 575. 
 
 BEAUTY. 
 
 Fraternal love is the companion, the con- 
 jugal companion, of the attribute of Beauty. 
 This love inspires, and Beauty is her mani- 
 festation.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 153. 
 
 BOOKS. 
 
 Forest trees full of singing birds are the 
 chapters of good books with their white leaves. 
 — Beyond the Valley, p. 279. 
 
 A book is your best friend when it compels 
 you to think, disenthralls your reason, enkin- 
 dles your hopes, vivifies your imagination, 
 dispels the darkness of materialism, and makes 
 easier all the burdens of your daily life. — 
 Beyond the Valley, p. 279. 
 
26 STAKNOS. 
 
 BLESSINGS. 
 
 All things are blessings only as they come 
 and go when needed. — Penetralia, p. 458. 
 
 BENEFITS. 
 
 Whatever increases the sum of human 
 knowledge, and augments the joys of the 
 human soul, is beneficial to the world. — Pen- 
 etralia, p. 328. 
 
 BEATITUDES. 
 
 The power to rise up into the Divine beati- 
 tudes arises from the just and generous per- 
 formances of deeds of kindness, of mercy, of 
 justice, of love. — Memoranda, p. 314. 
 
 BODY. 
 
 The human body was made to develop the 
 human spirit. — Gt. Har. Yol. 1, p. 189. 
 
 The body is the mold into which the 
 " elixir of immortality " is run. — Inner Life, 
 p. 406. 
 
STABJsros. 27 
 
 BKOTHERHOOD. 
 
 The soul desires fellowship with its kind. 
 Fraternal affection inspires the desire for 
 universal association. Its magic word is 
 " Brotherhood." ... In its natural state of 
 action it responds heartily to the golden rule 
 or gospel synopsis, — love to man; love to 
 God.— Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 78. 
 
 BELIEF. 
 
 Believe not a truth because it was believed 
 and taught before you lived, but because it is 
 truth, leading the mind onward and upward 
 to higher spheres of grandeur and beauty. — 
 Nat. Div. Rev., p. 433. 
 
 Any belief that has a tendency to destroy 
 the natural benevolence of a noble mind, or 
 to restrict its movements and circumscribe its 
 sympathies and affections, ... is indeed not 
 worthy of the most contracted place in the hu- 
 man affections, or among the approved tenets 
 of the judgment. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 491. 
 
28 STARNOS. 
 
 BABYHOOD. 
 
 The babyhood of the whole human race, 
 like the infant state of the individual man, is 
 characterized by physical weakness and men- 
 tal simplicity. — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, p. 13. 
 
 CREATION. 
 
 Creation is a beautiful sermon, terminating 
 with a grand, glowing, glorious conclusion, — 
 the human Soul. — Inner Life, p. 66. 
 
 CHARACTER. 
 
 The mind and its affections grow to resem- 
 ble in shape and feeling that upon which they 
 constantly feed ; and from the structure and 
 affections of the mind we derive and establish 
 "character." — Fountain, p. 36. 
 
STARNOS. 29 
 
 CONSCIENCE. 
 
 The Kingdom of Heaven is within you, 
 and Conscience is the Divinity that rules 
 therein. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 156. 
 
 CAPABILITIES. 
 
 The Spirit is capable, by its power, of sub- 
 duing itself and the various creations beneath 
 it in nature. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 152. 
 
 CHARITY. 
 
 Charity is fraternal justice. . . . No man 
 is justified in returning evil for evil, but good 
 only under all circumstances and to all hu- 
 manity. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 96. 
 
 CULTIVATION. 
 
 When man becomes highly cultivated in 
 his affections and intellect, all elements will 
 be invested with a diviner meaning, even to 
 the recognition of the Supreme Being in their 
 silvery depths.— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 238. 
 
30 STARNOS. 
 
 CHARACTER. 
 
 Perfection and truthfulness of character are 
 the secret intentions of Nature. — Gt. Har. 
 Yol. 5, p. 15. 
 
 CIRCUMSTANCES. 
 
 Influences and circumstances which sway 
 human feeling and modify judgment, are but 
 the wire-pullings and mathematical calcula- 
 tions of positive prescience. — Gt. Har. Vol. 
 5, p. 152. 
 
 CULTURE. 
 
 Happiness is the end of all human desire 
 and endeavor, and spiritual culture is the 
 agency by which it may be obtained. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 2, p. 174. 
 
 The law and method of spiritual culture 
 require the following : Be contented ivith the 
 Past, and with all it has brought you. Be 
 thankful for the Present, and for all you have. 
 Be patient for the Future, and for all it prom- 
 ises to bring you. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 174. 
 
STARNOS. 31 
 
 CAUSES. 
 
 God is the cause — Nature is the effect — 
 Man is the ultimate. — Inner Life, p. 53. 
 
 CONSTITUTION. 
 
 The constitution of the human spirit pro- 
 hibits the possibility of its loving and cherish- 
 ing unqualified error. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, 
 p. 240. 
 
 CIRCUMSTANCES. 
 
 A true Harmonial Philosopher — a real, 
 spiritual, living soul — can rise up and live a 
 higher life in the midst of his circumstances. 
 — Thoughts Concerning Religion, p. 177. 
 
 CONSOLATION. 
 
 Remember in your darkest hours that there 
 are those in the bending skies that love you ! 
 Strive to do well then, to be a true Beautiful 
 Woman, to be a pure Harmonial Man ; and 
 the higher worlds will baptize you in its sweet 
 and living waters. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 181. 
 
32 STAKNOS. 
 
 COMMANDMENT. 
 
 Under all circumstances keep an even mind. 
 — Magic Staff, p. 263. 
 
 CORRECTNESS. 
 
 Correct speaking, like good dancing, comes 
 by frequent practice under the guidance of 
 wise instructors. — Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 112. 
 
 CIRCULATION. 
 
 In the human body there is a vitalic circu- 
 lation ; so is there a circulation of vital forces 
 between the spiritual world and the several 
 planets. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 414. 
 
 COMMUNION. 
 
 Opening of the interior feeling to a full and 
 free communion with eternal principles is the 
 only door, swinging on golden hinges, which 
 admits the traveler to the immediate presence 
 of the infinite Father and Mother. — Heavenly 
 Home, p. 21. 
 
STARNOS. 33 
 
 CHEERFULNESS. 
 
 To be cheerfully reconciled to the unavoid- 
 able, to be satisfied with the best you can be 
 and do, is wise and beautiful. — Eth. of Conj. 
 Love, p. 126. 
 
 CONDITIONS. 
 
 When man shall convert bad physical and 
 social conditions into good and healthy in- 
 fluences, the moral wilderness will blossom 
 as the rose, and the lion and lamb of the in- 
 terior man will lie down together in peace. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 26. 
 
 CHARACTER. 
 
 The harmonial formation of character — 
 in harmony with the principles of Universal 
 Love and Distributive Justice — is the only 
 security against temporal unhappiness and 
 future disturbances. . . . Harmony of char- 
 acter and loveliness of disposition unfold 
 gradually from unwavering efforts to acquire 
 them. — Penetralia, p. 290. 
 
34 STARNOS. 
 
 CHEERFULNESS. 
 
 Cheerfulness is an all-healing medicine pre- 
 pared in the laboratory of the gods. — Heav- 
 enly Home, p. 56. 
 
 CONTEMPLATION. 
 
 There is nothing too free, too stupendous, 
 too magnificent, or too holy, for human con- 
 templation. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 255. 
 
 CIRCUMSTANCES. 
 
 As is the moistened clay in the hands of 
 the potter, so is individual man in the wheel 
 of the most positive circumstances. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 5, p. 247. 
 
 CAUSES. 
 
 It is a self-evident proposition that all ex- 
 ternal effects must spring from invisible causes. 
 ... In everything the ideal begets the actual ; 
 the invisible, the visible ; the principle, the 
 outward manifestation. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 56. 
 
STARNOS. 35 
 
 CRITICISM. 
 
 Healthy criticism is the best mental ferti- 
 lizer because it plows up the soil of thought 
 and prepares it for the best seed-grains of 
 truth. — Answers to Questions, p. 249. 
 
 CORRESPONDENCE. 
 
 Between inward bodies and principles there 
 is invariably a well-defined outward corre- 
 spondence. . . . The objective violet imparts 
 to the mental canvas a likeness of its own 
 image. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 165. 
 
 CONTEMPLATION. 
 
 It is very spiritualizing to one's superior 
 sensibilities, and love of beauty and harmony, 
 to ascend some enchanting elevation above 
 the highest tree-tops, and from that lofty 
 solitude contemplate and absorb the impres- 
 sions imparted by the soft, hazy, indefiniteness 
 of a vastly extended landscape. — Heavenly 
 Home, p. 100.

 CHURCHES. 
 
 The free church of the future will be the 
 Sanctuary of Reason, — dispensing spiritual 
 and natural Truths to a free and happy audi- 
 ence. — His. and Phil, of Evil, p. 102. 
 
 COMMANDMENTS. 
 
 If you wish to be truly and steadfastly 
 loved, see to it that you do not deform your 
 spiritual nature. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 222. 
 
 Prepare yourselves to love one another. . . . 
 Become lovable. Let each become lovely 
 as possible. . . . Love is an attribute, spon- 
 taneous, like genius, obeying no laws save its 
 own.— Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 221. 
 
 Let your minds be calm ; put confidence in 
 the divine laws of your being ; obey them 
 religiously ; and youth and beauty will glow 
 from every face, — and, without trying, you 
 will " love one another."— Gt, Har, Vol, 4, 
 
 p. m 
 
STARNOS. 37 
 
 CONSOLATION. 
 
 True and lasting consolation — also true 
 and abiding happiness — comes from the daily 
 doing of right, which is your duty. This is 
 the everlasting guide to peace. — Beyond the 
 Valley, p. 391. 
 
 COMPENSATIONS. 
 
 Pleasure, happiness, joy, blessedness, bliss, 
 — these spiritual sensations will come as com- 
 pensations for duty done, for work performed, 
 for loyalty to the omnipresent spirit of the 
 ever-wise, ever-loving Arabula. — Beyond the 
 Valley, p. 20. 
 
 CHEERFULNESS. 
 
 Never be depressed ; but be cheerful — be 
 joyful — be exceedingly glad — even though 
 death is knocking at your door — for there is 
 nothing to hate, to shun, to fear, or to deplore, 
 in any department of Nature, or in the wide 
 sanctuary of the Living, Divine Mind. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, p. 442. 
 
38 STARNOS. 
 
 COUNTERPARTS. 
 Deity and Nature are counterparts ; they 
 are husband and wife, father and mother, wis- 
 dom and love. — Thoughts on Religion, p. 91. 
 
 CONSTELLATIONS. 
 
 The stellar constellations are chords in the 
 harp upon which Mother Nature sounds the 
 music of her everlasting love of God. — Be- 
 yond the Valley, p. 320. 
 
 CHARACTER. 
 
 The higher the development of character 
 the more impregnable does the individual be- 
 come to the causes and afflictions of evil. — 
 Answers to Questions, p. 188. 
 
 CLEANLINESS. 
 
 There is something more than beauty of 
 form, face, and manners ; that something is 
 personal purity and cleanliness. — Eth. of 
 Conj. Love, p. 84. 
 
STARNOS. 39 
 
 CHARACTER. 
 
 Go deep into human character, and you 
 will find a diamond inheritance, pure and im- 
 perishable. — Penetralia, p. 404. 
 
 CONSCIOUSNESS. 
 
 Consciousness is irresistable, absolute, irre- 
 versible, and beyond controversy. It is that 
 which you accept without question. You 
 live in it because it is yourself. — Answers to 
 Questions, p. 17. 
 
 CONVENTIONS. 
 
 Conventions, conducted with magnanimity 
 and virtue of purpose, will accomplish much 
 good towards the unfolding of universal prin- 
 ciples. — Thoughts on Religion, p. 21. 
 
 Conventions are useful only as ploughs are 
 good for the soil, — they turn up new ground, 
 break away poisonous weeds, and demolish 
 old stumps, for the subsequent planting of 
 good seed. — Thoughts on Religion, p. 15. 
 
40 STAKNOS. 
 
 COURAGE. 
 
 We need more independence of soul, — not 
 impudence or arrogance, but strength enough, 
 courage enough, to do the bidding of our in- 
 stincts, and rebuke the wrong which timidity 
 generates. — Harmonial Man, p. 148. 
 
 COMPASSION. 
 
 It is good to feel that every soul contains 
 the same elements of energy and intellect. 
 Such a conviction will inspire us with a philo- 
 sophical compassion for every individual 
 whose mind is unfortunately developed. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 3, p. 71. 
 
 CONFESSION. 
 
 The beautiful human heart, the seat and 
 symbol of the affections, cannot safely conceal 
 its sorrows. Open confession to some worthy 
 person, notwithstanding the immediate pain 
 and mortification, is often a perfect prevention 
 of insanity. — Temple, p. 389. 
 
STAENOS. 41 
 
 CONSOLATION. 
 
 Consolation, which can save mankind, 
 comes over the paths of knowledge. — Eth. 
 of Conj. Love, p. 142. 
 
 COMMUNION. 
 
 You who would learn the truth should go 
 into the most secret chamber of your own 
 souls. The spirit of God lives there. There 
 you should go to pray, to sing, to commune 
 with your guardian spirits. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 44. 
 
 CHARITY. 
 
 In the steady discharge of her mission, 
 Charity is tender, gentle, unpretending, and 
 strong.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 107. 
 
 If charity is properly directed, and unre- 
 strained while walking in the holy avenues of 
 Wisdom, her deeds will unfold like heavenly 
 violets in the garden of the Soul, and spread 
 the fragrance of happiness wherever she 
 treads.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 105. 
 
42 STARNOS. 
 
 CULTIVATION. 
 
 The mind is capable of growth and endless 
 progression. It can be cultivated like a 
 flower, until its immortal fragrance shall be 
 sweet, and pure, and spiritual. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 2, p. 131. 
 
 CONTEMPLATION. 
 
 Universal love inspires the individual with 
 enlarged sympathies ; warms the intellect in- 
 to unquenchable thirstings after boundless 
 knowledge ; urges the imagination to the con- 
 templation of interior and infinite things. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 99. 
 
 COMMUNICATIONS. 
 
 The notes of music which come through 
 spiritual communications — from the lofty 
 summits of heavenly inspiration — enable us 
 to catch but imperfect glimpses of the " good 
 time " when the earth shall ripen and blos- 
 som as the rose. — Free Thoughts on Relig- 
 ion, p. 123. 
 
STARKOS. 43 
 
 CALMNESS. 
 
 If you desire calmness in the midst of a 
 storm, then study the wonders of the inner 
 universe ; learn the laws by which it is con- 
 trolled. You are yourselves universes in 
 miniature. — Gt. Har. Yol. 3, p. 219. 
 
 CHARACTER. 
 
 Character is the way, the fashion, the man- 
 ner, the expression, the fulcrum, as well as 
 the lever, by and through which the soul an- 
 nounceth and declareth itself to the external 
 world. — Penetralia, p. 399. 
 
 CONVICTIONS. 
 
 Look within for that principle which causes 
 all effects in the external. When you find an 
 internal conviction that you are immortal, 
 which no sophistry can invalidate or disturb, 
 then you have found a treasure, the beauty 
 of which is greatly enhanced by spiritual mani- 
 festations. — Penetralia, p. 254. 
 
44 STAKNOS. 
 
 CONFIDENCE. 
 
 Give a man confidence in himself that he 
 hath an inward character, and he will forth- 
 with commence the work of reform and self- 
 purification. — Penetralia, p. 443. 
 
 CHARITY. 
 
 Charity educates and expands the percep- 
 tions, and conceptions, and all other attributes 
 of the soul. . . . She teaches the soul to feel 
 its individuality, to acknowledge its depend- 
 ence, and cultivate the spirit of a universal 
 relationship. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 106. 
 
 CONDEMNATION. 
 
 There is nothing that can condemn evil 
 but goodness. The angel of the human heart 
 looks mournfully upon the wrong deeds of the 
 creature man. The still small voice is for- 
 ever in the presence of the transgressor ; and 
 there is no escaping its noontide and mid- 
 night injunctions. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 358. 
 
STARNOS. 45 
 
 CREEDS. 
 
 It is better to believe in the human soul, 
 when exalted by purity of thought and har- 
 moniousness of life and purpose, than in any 
 creed in the wide world. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 268. 
 
 CONFIDENCE. 
 
 In order to have a true faith and confidence 
 in the existence, wisdom, power, and love of 
 the Supreme Being, the mind must interro- 
 gate its own depths, and watch the mysteri- 
 ous workings of its own properties and prin- 
 ciples.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 374. 
 
 CONVERSATION. 
 
 Conversation is a powerful means of spirit- 
 culture and harmony. It touches the social 
 chords of sympathy, and inspires the spirit 
 with new sentiments and language. It en- 
 nobles the feelings, and beautifies the general 
 deportment. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 178. 
 
46 STAKNOS. 
 
 D. 
 
 DEITY. 
 Deity is the source of all vitality. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, p. 48. 
 
 DISCIPLINE. 
 
 Life is a chain of discipline. . . . There is 
 not a chord in man's nature which some event 
 does not strike at some time. — Inner Life, 
 p. 107. 
 
 DESTINY. 
 
 The destiny of all men is Immortality, Hap- 
 piness, and Progression. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, 
 p. 41. 
 
 Let us, O let us, unfold the beauties of the 
 spirit, study its immense possessions, and im- 
 prove ourselves ; and then we will know, and 
 feel, and form just conceptions of our mission 
 and our destiny. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 41. 
 
STARsros. 47 
 
 DEVELOPMENT. 
 
 Properly considered, the spiritual state is 
 the complete development and harmonization 
 of the individual. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 310. 
 
 DEATH. 
 
 To the convinced and enlarged understand- 
 ing there is no death . . . only the most im- 
 portant and delightful change in the mode of 
 personal existence. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 242. 
 
 DIVINITY. 
 
 To the spiritually minded all realities are 
 clothed in a glowing divinity ; every-day occur- 
 rences are miraculous. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 106. 
 
 When the mind is exercised upon the 
 superior planes of thought, then all material 
 forms are invested with an unusual signifi- 
 cance, — everything has a deep and sacred 
 meaning, — the external world is full of Di- 
 vinity.— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 21. 
 
48 STAHNOS. 
 
 DEITY. 
 
 Man is a portion of Nature, and Nature is 
 ever enduring, because its soul is Deity. — 
 Inner Life, p. 421. 
 
 DEVELOPMENT. 
 
 All belief in the High and Beautiful, in the 
 Spiritual and Supreme, in Theism and Im- 
 mortality, comes into practical form only by 
 the soul's development. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 283. 
 
 DUALITY. 
 
 In all things, throughout the realms of 
 mind or matter, two opposing principles rule 
 and ivork the same. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 80. 
 
 God is dual. . . . Better than the Virgin 
 Mary's saintly position in the ethical temple 
 is the simple announcement that God is as 
 much Woman as 31an, a one-ness composed 
 of two individual equal halves, Love and Wis- 
 dom absolute and balanced eternally. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 5, p. 196. 
 
STARNOS. 49 
 
 DESTINY. 
 
 We should not forget that we live now to

 DEATH. 
 
 Death is but an event in our eternal life. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 159. 
 
 Death is simply a birth into a new and 
 more perfect state of existence. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 1, p. 159. 
 
 DISCORD. 
 
 Let no inflated mind be unjust to the body 
 within which it lives and moves, for thus 
 " Disease " is born, and those deeper discords 
 also that shut out the holy light of eternity. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 243.

 DISCUSSION. 
 
 Fear of free discussion is the strongest 
 sceptre in the hand of error and despotism. — 
 Harmonial Man, p. 16. 
 
 DEMONS. 
 
 "What are they ? Passions, appetites, and 
 inversions. " The only begotten " is the prin- 
 ciple of Truth. — Morning Lectures, p. 102. 
 
 DEVELOPMENT. 
 
 To man, the universe is great, beautiful, 
 divine, and magnificent ; or it is small, chaotic, 
 and unbeautiful, — just as he is individually 
 organized, educated, and developed. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, p. 178. 
 
 DEITY. 
 
 In food, water, and air the Deity lives ; 
 it is through these instrumentalities that he 
 imparts many harmonizing and spiritualizing 
 principles to the human constitution. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, 275. 
 
STARNOS. 51 
 
 DEATH. 
 
 Death is largely a cleansing process, and is 
 the hope of the world, not its point of dark- 
 ness. — Death and After Life, p. 96. 
 
 DEVELOPMENT. 
 
 Every thing is unfolding life and beauty, 
 according to the law of progressive and eter- 
 nal development. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 414. 
 
 DESTINY. 
 
 Nothing lives in vain, or is left to blind 
 destiny ; but, otherwise, every existence is in- 
 dispensible to the welfare and harmony of the 
 whole. — Answers to Questions, p. 39. 
 
 DISCORD. 
 
 What pain, what internal convulsions, what 
 tumultuous pulsations of the heart do we ex- 
 perience when the harsh sounds of enmity 
 and passion grate discordantly upon the spirit ! 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 82. 
 
52 STAKNOS. 
 
 DUTY. 
 
 Respect for your manhood or womanhood, 
 how small soever your gifts may be, is the 
 first of all duties. — Penetralia, p. 106. 
 
 DEATH. 
 
 Death is but the " dark hour" which, like 
 a herald, precedes the morning sun of a higher 
 Life; even as earthly evil, when not abused, 
 is the dungeon-door we pass through, to reach 
 the goal of the absolute Good. — Hist, and 
 Phil, of Evil, p. 75. 
 
 DESIGN. 
 
 The beauty and harmony of All Things ; 
 the Cause, Effect, and End ; the Design ; the 
 uses ; the unchangeable and eternal sim- 
 plicity of movements externally manifested, 
 still which are too immense and powerful to 
 be comprehended, — speak only the voice of 
 eternal Power and Wisdom! — Nat. Div. 
 Rev., p. 111. 
 
STARNOS. 53 
 
 DIVINITY. 
 
 Divinity, in its central life, is love. In 
 this truth you behold the source of " Salva- 
 tion " to yourself and to all your neighbors in 
 the wide world. — Stellar Key, p. 164. 
 
 DEIFICATION. 
 
 All over-statement is injustice ; the deifica- 
 tion of persons is a a spot on the sun " of 
 righteousness. Every exaggeration of sup- 
 posed gods, every over-statement of the wis- 
 dom of spirits, is followed by a corresponding 
 diminution of mankind. — Penetralia, p. 169. 
 
 DEPENDENCE. 
 We must not accustom our minds to depend 
 too much upon the guardian spirit for direc- 
 tion and happiness. When we ascertain our 
 duty and destiny, or obtain certain convictions 
 concerning them, we should act in strict ac- 
 cordance with all the light we possess. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 3, p. 328. 
 
54 STAENOS. 
 
 DESIRE. 
 
 Each radical human desire is a promissory 
 note, drawn up and endorsed by the Eternal 
 God, payable at the ever-solvent Bank of 
 Ultimate Satisfaction. — Penetralia, p. 107. 
 
 DIAKKA. 
 
 Identification, at a spirit-circle, is, in the 
 present stage of our development, almost im- 
 possible. One day your real friend or rela- 
 tive will communicate, next time the fun-lov- 
 ing Diakka will simulate your friend's char- 
 acter and do all the honors. — Diakka, p. 80. 
 
 DESTINY. 
 
 Man is designed for a career of endless 
 Progression ; to which process all evils and 
 sufferings are incidental, conditional, tempo- 
 ral, and educational, — working out, when not 
 abused, "a far more exceeding and eternal 
 weight of glory." — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, 
 p. 81. 
 
STARNOS. 55 
 
 DOUBT. 
 
 Doubt, which means uncertainty, is the 
 mind's prime incentive to activity. — Heavenly 
 Home, p. 39. 
 
 DELIVERANCE. 
 
 There are thousands of pure and loving 
 angels looking upon us, desiring our speedy 
 deliverance from discord and error. — Eth. of 
 Conj. Love, p. 90. 
 
 DEVELOPMENT. 
 
 The full, perfect, and proportionate devel- 
 opment of our own nature is the great end 
 for which we should constantly and prayer- 
 fully strive.— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 224. 
 
 DIAKKA. 
 A Diakka is one who takes insane delight 
 in playing parts, in juggling tricks, in per- 
 sonating opposite characters ; to whom prayers 
 and profane utterances are of equi value. — 
 Diakka, p. 10. 
 
56 STABNOS. 
 
 DIFFERENCES. 
 
 The difference between men is more exter- 
 nal than actual, — more in development than 
 in essence. — Har. Man, p. 150. 
 
 DESTINY. 
 
 Hidden deep in the unfathomable heart of 
 the infinite Mother is the sweet secret destiny 
 of every human heart. — Beyond the Valley, 
 p. 370. 
 
 DOUBTS. 
 
 The world is full of conflicting doubts and 
 mischievous theories, because men mix and 
 confound ideas with thoughts, — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 5, p. 341. 
 
 DEMONSTRATION. 
 
 There is something deep, lovely, and pos- 
 sitive in that philosophy which demonstrates 
 to the unilluminated mind the possibility, 
 laws, and practicability of angelic intercourse 
 and manifestations. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 324. 
 
STARNOS. 57 
 
 DEEDS. 
 
 Every good deed dropped into the ocean of 
 human life makes that ocean better. ... A 
 single benevolent act may eventually save a 
 nation.. . . Act well your part — " the world 
 will be the better for it." — Answers to Ques- 
 tions, p. 202. 
 
 DETAILS. 
 
 External history is founded on details, and 
 details are despotic. They enslave your judg- 
 ment, and force you from a generous faith 
 to spiteful dogmatism. . . . Facts are appear- 
 ances ; and appearances are deceptive. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 4, p. 26. 
 
 DOUBTS. 
 
 Minds not acquainted with the treasures of 
 their own interior structure are easily driven 
 ashore by " every wind of doctrine," or else 
 into side-channels, where they encounter em- 
 barrassments and doubts innumerable. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 5, p. 407. 
 
58 STARNOS. 
 
 DEITY. 
 
 In tree, in bird, in sky, in star, in your 
 parents, in everything human, behold the love

 DOCTRINES. 
 
 The doctrine of immortality and a belief in 
 spiritual life existed in the world long before 
 either the New or the Old Testament was 
 written. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 503. 
 
 DEVOTION. 
 
 So long as you do nothing to merit a loss 
 of your own self-respect, and so long as your 
 self-abnegation is occasioned by your devotion 
 to what you esteem as the best truth, so long 
 you are a safe and truly growing man. — 
 Heavenly Home, p. 97. 
 
STAKNOS. 59 
 
 EVENTS. 
 
 Unlike the brute, man adds to his vision 
 the spectacles of experience, and learns to 
 probe the events of life. — Inner Life, p. 393. 
 
 ERRORS. 
 
 Errors, however beautiful and gold-enam- 
 eled by time, must be extracted from the 
 human mind by the archangel of eternal 
 truth. — Death and After Life, p. 175. 
 
 EMANCIPATION. 
 
 Anything — person, influence, or principle 
 — that lifts you out of your mental prison 
 and emancipates you is worthy of your truest 
 devotion until another and a newer teacher 
 comes in answer to your newer necessities. — 
 Hist, and Phil, of Evil, p. 218. 
 
60 STABNOS. 
 
 EXPERIENCE. 
 
 The riches of experience are strewn all over 
 the highway of human progress. — Inner Life, 
 p. 107. 
 
 ENLIGHTENMENT. 
 
 Enlightenment destroys mystery and com- 
 plicity, and opens the door to grandeur, rest- 
 ing upon simplicity. — Gt. Har, Vol. 3, 
 p. 195. 
 
 EDUCATION. 
 
 Experience is the book of life. And he is 
 a good student who knows how to read its 
 doctrines ; and he who practically acts upon 
 them is educated in the school of God. — Inner 
 Life, p. 392. 
 
 ETHICS. 
 
 That system of ethics is good for nothing 
 which comes not home to our business and 
 bosoms ; the congenial companion at once of 
 our Instincts and our Reason ; the guardian 
 angel of our being — Inner Life, p. 33. 
 
STARNOS. 61 
 
 EXPERIENCE. 
 
 A rough experience works out much good ; 
 for all evil, in the end, is overruled by right. 
 
 — Inner Life, p. 396. 
 
 ERROR. 
 
 Truth is always simple, whilst Error is 
 compound and generally incomprehensible. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 195. 
 
 ETERNITY. 
 
 Eternity is an infinite ocean, and this life 
 is but a single drop of its everlasting waters. 
 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 365. 
 
 EXTERNALS. 
 
 Just in proportion as you grow independ- 
 ent of externals, — just in proportion as you 
 rise out of passions, appetites, unclean spirits, 
 and demons, — in that same proportion you en- 
 ter into the kingdom of harmony. — Thoughts 
 Concerning Religion, p. 149. 
 
62 STAKKOS. 
 
 ERROR. 
 
 Truth is simple and natural ; Error is com- 
 pound and artificial. — Phil, of Spec. Provi- 
 dences, p. 39. 
 
 EXPRESSIONS. 
 
 All things visible are expressions of an 
 interior productive cause, which is the spirit- 
 ual Essence. — Stellar Key, p. 118. 
 
 EXACTNESS. 
 
 Intellectual, or scientific, and mechanical 
 exactness is the foundation and precursor of 
 spiritual truthfulness. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 22. 
 
 EDUCATION. 
 
 Immortal ideas more than transient 
 thoughts, and fixed principles rather than 
 fleeting facts, should be roused in the young

STARNOS. 63 
 
 EVIL. 
 
 What is termed evil generally develops 
 good.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 148. 
 
 ENEMIES. 
 
 If you walk one mile with your enemy, he 
 will try to force you to go twain. Beware of 
 the " first false step." — Diakka, p. 15. 
 
 ERRORS. 
 
 Abandon error as soon as you discover it 
 in any department of your nature. Remove 
 all stones from your grain fields. One truth 
 is better than all the errors of Christendom. 
 — Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 132. 
 
 EQUILIBRIUM. 
 
 To be wholly material is to be deprived of 
 the blessings which flow from the spiritual ; 
 and to be wholly spiritual, in this sphere of 
 existence, is to be un philosophical and dis- 
 cordant. — Inner Life, p. 365. 
 
64 STARNOS. 
 
 ERROR. 
 
 Error is mortal and cannot live, and Truth 
 is immortal and cannot die. — Nat. Div. Rev.,

 Each human soul is identical in germ. 
 There is no essential difference between men. 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 48. 
 
 ENDOWMENTS. 
 
 No man or woman, educated to realize all 
 the noble capacities of the human spirit, can 
 consent to pass a life unworthy of innate 
 powers and endowments. — Hist, and Phil, of 
 Evil, p. 220. 
 
 EXISTENCE. 
 
 Our existence after death is not ghostly 
 and ghastly, but is natural, palpable, definable, 
 and most desirable, — a relative existence, as 
 much in harmony with objects and substances 
 as the present. — Memoranda, p. 232. 
 
STARXOS. 65 
 
 ENERGIES. 
 
 Spirit-principles and energies impregnate 
 and saturate with interior life every particle, 
 every organ, every fibre, every force, every 
 ether, and every essence within or about the 
 individual organization. — Temple, p. 18. 
 
 EXPRESSION. 
 
 Simplicity in expression is a partial test of 
 truth, — and yet, some truths are so fine, so 
 exquisitely attenuated, that to treat them with 
 simple words seems somewhat like dressing 
 a divine and gentle spirit in homespun sack- 
 cloth. — Answers to Questions, p. 60. 
 
 EXPERIENCES. 
 
 If it be true that John saw an angel stand- 
 ing in the sun, or if it be true that any man 
 at any time ever saw a spirit, it is most rea- 
 sonable to presume that the same experience 
 will continue to form a part of all human his- 
 tory. — Answers to Questions, p. 10. 
 
66 STARNOS. 
 
 EFFECTS. 
 
 Awaken the Intellect, and set it at work, 
 and the effect is skepticism and agitation ; un- 
 fold Wisdom, and the effect is spiritual faith 
 in things eternal. — Beyond the Valley, p. 361. 
 
 EXCESSES. 
 
 All excess is vicious. . . . Let us handle 
 the proofs of our immortality very tenderly, 
 for they are of all evidences the most sacred 
 to human progress ; but let no man dare 
 degrade them by over-consumption and irrev- 
 erent familiarity. — Answers to Questions, 
 p. 88. 
 
 EVIDENCES. 
 
 The exquisitely sensitive mental condition 
 necessary for the reception of spiritual evi- 
 dences, and the general ignorance of the laws 
 controlling such conditions, is the chief reason 
 why so many persons have reaped from the 
 experience far more confusion than happiness. 
 — Temple, p. 238. 
 
STARNOS. 67 
 
 EQUALITY. 
 
 The illumination of all the faculties is equal 
 in the Spiritual State. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 290. 
 
 EXPERIENCE. 
 
 The Law of Progress is a ready writer ; its 
 ink is life ; its pen, all the human world ; its 
 volume, Experience. — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, 
 p. 9. 
 
 EPITAPHS. 
 
 The grave is the sweetest sorrow, — it is 
 wreathed in a mystic solitude, with enchant- 
 ments for the heart. The kindest thought is, 
 the parent of the epitaph. — Inner Life, p. 157. 
 
 ERRORS. 
 
 Errors, like the shadows of escaping clouds, 
 will disappear when the " Sun of Righteous- 
 ness" — of wisdom, truth, and brotherly love 
 — shall send its all-searching light and heal- 
 ing warmth into their midst. — Approaching 
 Crisis, p. 150. 
 
68 STABNOS. 
 
 ETERNITY. 
 
 Whoso questions Nature aright truly reads 
 the scriptures which teach of God and Eter- 
 nity. — Death and After Life, p. 176. 
 
 ERROR. 
 
 Error is the misapprehension of Truth. 
 Evil consists in knowingly advocating what 
 is misapprehended. . . . Truth and goodness, 
 on the other hand, are the sovereign principles 
 of existence, and in their boundless flight 
 there is unutterable freedom. — Answers to 
 Questions, p. 151. 
 
 EVIDENCES. 
 
 Man's immortality, to be of any practical 
 service to him, must be felt in his religious 
 nature, and not merely understood by his in- 
 tellectual faculties. . . . True evidences come 
 through the two sources Intuition and Re- 
 flection, — through the inward sources of 
 Wisdom. — Penetralia, p. 248. 
 
STARNOS. 69 
 
 FIDELITY. 
 
 If the soul is faithful to Nature and her 
 principles, there can and will be no limits to 
 its health, happiness, and power to work the 
 sublimest miracles. The faithful spirit is 
 God-like in its every manifestation. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, p. 295. 
 
 FABLES. 
 
 By scanning the fables of the past and com- 
 paring them with the realities of the present, 
 we can see that what were considered miracu- 
 lous and supernatural are now recognized as 
 the "matter-of-course" triumphs of progres- 
 sive science, — as things ordinary and natural 
 to the constitution of matter and principles. — 
 Inner Life, p. 1. 
 
70 STABNOS. 
 
 FACTS. 
 
 Facts are only things, but truths are prin- 
 ciples.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 178. 
 
 FORCES. 
 
 Nature, through all her forces, works for 
 the development of individualized human 
 beings. — Phil, of Spir. Inter., p. 354. 
 
 FREEDOM. 
 
 Mind is immortal. Mind is imperial. It 
 bears no mark of high or low, rich or poor. 
 It heeds no bound of time or place, of rank 
 or circumstances. It asks but freedom. — 
 Har. Man, p. 23. 
 
 FOUNTAINS. 
 
 The immortal spirit is the fountain. The 
 everlasting waters of this fountain are its 
 principles of love. The final coherent mani- 
 festation of these principles, in their totality, 
 is called wisdom. — Fountain, p. 114. 
 
STAKNOS. 71 
 
 FIDELITY. 
 
 Fidelity is the integrity of your soul to it- 
 self, — obedience to the angel of God within, 
 — to your best and highest attractions. — 
 Penetralia, p. 82. 
 
 FACULTIES. 
 
 Like immortal jewels dropped from the 
 divine Crown, harmoniously set in the earthen 
 ring of the familiar microcosm, so man's fac- 
 ulties shine forth practically, throughout the 
 life and lip and deeds of all the after ages. — 
 Hist, and Phil, of Evil, p. 14. 
 
 FLOWERS. 
 
 Fix your affections upon flowers ; let the 
 thorns take care of themselves. Lift your 
 eyes toward the mountains ; let the dark 
 ravines exist where they must. Become a 
 seer of the good that men do ; let their evils 
 make but little impression upon your judg- 
 ment. — Answers to Questions, p. 222.

 FORMS. 
 
 Forms are the thoughts of Nature, as 
 thoughts are the forms of the mind. — Nat. 
 Div. Rev., p. 315. 
 
 FIRMNESS. 
 
 Be thou firm in the ways of wisdom; then 
 the angels will kindly look down and bless 
 you. — Temple, p. 322. 
 
 FEAR. 
 
 Ignorance married to mind begets that most 
 helpless and wretched of psychological chil- 
 dren, called fear. — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, 
 p. 18. 
 
 FREEDOM. 
 
 That mind which has stricken off the 
 shackles of mental slavery, and which, with 
 new-born gladness, realizes the eternal dignity 
 and birthright of individual life, is certain to 
 sing the songs of Freedom and of boundless 
 Reform. — Answers to Questions, p. 6. 
 
STARNOS. 73 
 
 FEAR. 
 
 Let us speak all the truth we have the 
 power to behold, and fear not.— Gt. Har.

 FASCINATION. 
 
 There is a resistless fascination in a person 
 who is well-balanced and wholesome. — Eth. 
 of Conj. Love, p. 84. 
 
 FLOWERS. 
 
 Flowers bloom o'er the death-bed of that 
 mind which sees God's smiles behind frown- 
 ing clouds and tempests. — Phil, of Spir. 
 Inter., p. 345. 
 
 FRIENDSHIP. 
 
 What pleasure do we derive from the sweet, 
 musical voice of friendship and affection, 
 sweeping with winning tones the chords of 
 the soul, and awakening the harmony of its 
 ten thousand strings! — Gt. Har. Vol.1, 
 p. 82. 
 
74 STARNOS. 
 
 FORMATION. 
 
 The Harmonial Philosophy, . . . affirms 
 the eternity of matter, — that there is no crea- 
 tion, but formation. — Inner Life, p. 52. 
 
 FULFILLMENT. 
 
 To be more, and to profess less, is fulfilling 
 life's grand objects, and taking a diviner posi- 
 tion in the universe. — Thoughts on Religion, 
 p. 71. 
 
 FORCE. 
 
 In force you see what is rudimental ; in 
 power that which is sublime. No defeat in 
 power ; always defeat in force. — Hist, and 
 Phil, of Evil, 203. 
 
 FREEDOM. 
 
 The mind is designed for boundless free- 
 dom ; its aspirations are unto the beautiful, 
 the glorious, the sublime, and unto the Great 
 Moving Principle of the Universe. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 2, p. 255. 
 
STARNOS. 75 
 
 FAITH. 
 
 Faith is the innate affirmation of the im- 
 mortal spirit. — Beyond the Valley, p. 319. 
 
 FIRMNESS. 
 
 Be just and natural in your spiritual 
 growth ; then you will be as firm as the ever- 
 lasting hills. — Thoughts on Religion, p. 196. 
 
 FORMS. 
 
 When the mind elevates itself to higher 
 thoughts and purposes, all forms and uses 
 receive an inner and more profound significa- 
 tion. All life, too, receives a deeper and 
 holier explanation. — Memoranda, p. 257. 
 
 FAITHFULNESS. 
 
 Act well the part of a spiritual being ; be 
 faithful to what is true and good ; the future 
 will take loving care of both itself and you. 
 This is the heavenly rest that comes from 
 true inspiration of ideas. — Death and After 
 Life, p. 172.

 G. 
 
 GENIUS. 
 
 Behind all beautiful robes is always hidden 
 and neglected some divinely commissioned 
 genius. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 240. 
 
 GENERALIZATIONS. 
 
 The developed mind flies away from the 
 " sphere of facts, and seeks rest and refresh- 
 ment among genial generalizations." — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 4, p. 27. 
 
 GROWTH. 
 
 All true moral growth and wisdom are the 
 higher departments of a divine Temple, whose 
 foundations rest upon the broad granite basis 
 of science, and whose turrets extend far above 
 into the tranquil realms of celestial life. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 3, p. 23. 
 
STARNOS. 77 
 
 GOODNESS. 
 
 Perfect justice and boundless goodness, 
 upon which the infinite Temple of the Father 
 and Mother is constructed and inflexibly up- 
 held, are the everlasting principles of a true, 
 universal, and all-satisfying Religion. — Heav- 
 enly Home, p. 204. 
 
 GRATITUDE. 
 
 When the sky pours out its tears, when the 
 tempest strikes the sea, when nature portends 
 her elemental strifes, and the thunders leap 
 down the wild mountains, rushing with all 
 the wildness and power of the cataract ; then 
 — then be calm and believing ; for when the 
 shower is past, when the clouds pass away, 
 when the sun shines out again over the green 
 fields, over the green lawns and variegated 
 meadows, then the good of the whole is revealed, 
 and a million birds will join numberless flow- 
 ers in a hymn of gratitude for all that is 
 passed. — Inner Life, p. 108. 
 
78 STAKNDS. 
 
 GOVERNMENT. 
 
 Self-government in the individual is possible 
 only in that state of mind which rests upon 
 Justice, — upon the unselfish light of eternal 
 Love and wisdom. The same is true of a 
 nation. — Arabula, p. 154. 
 
 GOODNESS. 
 
 Wisdom sees a central element of goodness 
 in the soul, — an angel, sleeping enfeebled, in 
 life's manger, — and not a fiend, not a self- 
 conscious devil, as taught by the mistaken 
 priesthood. — Temple, p. 357. 
 
 4 GOD. 
 Every man of reason and every woman of 
 intuition knows that God is in the deepest 
 Heart, — an inexhaustible fountain of Love, 
 as well as of Wisdom, — expanding through 
 all that illimitable structure which we call 
 " the physical universe." — Thoughts on Re- 
 ligion, p. 80. 
 
STARNOS. 79 
 
 GROWTH. 
 
 Universal growth in the spiritual, and a 
 corresponding advancement in true individual 
 manhood and womanhood, constitute the only 
 prevention of abounding sorrows and insanity. 
 — Temple, p. 341. 
 
 GUIDANCE. 
 
 Be guided by Principles, not by spirits ; 
 by Reason, not by the high-sounding dictum, 
 or the soft persuasions, emanating from any 
 external source. Be yourself wholly. — Eth. 
 of Conj. Love, p. 66. 
 
 GOD. 
 
 God is the central magnet of the universe; 
 the spiritual world is the continuation of the 
 natural world ; and man's spirit comes out of 
 his brain at death just as the flower comes 
 out of the bud in the garden ; it is all beauti- 
 fully natural, and there is no miracle. — 
 Thoughts on Religion, p. 196.

 GOD. 
 
 God is an Eternal Magnet of concentrated

 everywhere read the gospel of Deity. — Inner

 GROWTH. 
 
 Growth is the central law of our being and 
 the object of all exertion, as it will be the 
 result of all experience. — Arabula, p. 400. 
 
 GRACE. 
 
 Grace in the affections lends beauty to the 
 face and sweetness to the body. One cardinal 
 grace is sincerity, which is the key to endur- 
 ing and perfect confidence. — Fountain, p. 1 19.

 To be like God let us aspire to God. — Gt.

 Divine greatness is reflected in all things. 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 36. 
 
 GERMS. 
 From a germ of good and truth all things, 
 as well as all philosophies, were and are 
 developed.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 240. 
 
 GENTLENESS. 
 
 Love that which is lovely, and deal gently 
 with that which has been misdirected or im- 
 perfectly developed. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 414. 
 
 GUARDIANS. 
 
 Our guardian spirits come from a fairer 
 and serener Home than ours. . . . They come 
 to make us better, wiser, and happier. — Gt.

 Harmony is the guardian angel of univer-

 HOPE. 
 
 The expanding inspirations of deathless 
 Hope glow potentially within the surging 
 soul. — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, p. 31. 
 
 HAPPINESS. 
 
 Happiness very slowly comes to one who 
 persists in the states of discord. Beautiful 
 music, the fragrance of flowers, the luxurious 
 melody of singing birds, and the musical 
 voices of many waters, come only when you 
 internally deserve them. — Death and After 
 Life, p. 25. 
 
STARNOS. 83 
 
 HAPPINESS. 
 
 For physical happiness obey the physical 
 laws ; for organic happiness obey the organic 
 laws ; for moral happiness obey the moral 
 laws.— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 344. 
 
 HEALTH. 
 
 Moral health depends more upon physical 
 harmony than upon the writings of religious 
 chieftains or upon the prayers of the so-called 
 contrite heart.— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 229. 
 
 HYPOCRISY. 
 
 A selfish man, a deceiver, a hypocrite, — 
 a man who lives in his family like a beast and 
 before folks like a gentleman, — has not ex- 
 perienced a change of heart. A swinish char- 
 acter always gets "lengthwise in the trough." 
 He stretches himself at full length in the 
 advantages of his home, and closes out the 
 choicest friends of his wife and children. — 
 Free Thoughts, p. 146.

 HEALTH. 
 
 Health of body and mind is happiness of

 Man should regulate his life, and all his 
 habits, by the solar laws of nature. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 4, p. 166. 
 
 HARMONY. 
 
 If the individual is unfolded into Harmony 
 with himself, he has grown into immediate 
 connection with the spiritual World. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 2, p. 156. 
 
 HOMES. 
 
 The Spirits' Home is a natural world, reg- 
 ulated by natural laws, covered by a natural 
 firmament, animated by a natural Deity, pop- 
 ulated by natural spirits and angels who were 
 once men and women, and it is therefore 
 natural that dwelling-places should diversify 
 the landscape. — Answers to Questions, p. 64. 
 
STARNOS. 85 
 
 HUMILITY. 
 
 It would seem to be a universal law that 
 the sweetest flowers grow in the vales of 
 humility. — Inner Life, p. 93. 
 
 HOSPITALITY. 
 
 Great minds overlook the small, and capa- 
 cious hearts make room for the discords of the 
 undeveloped. — Answers to Questions, p. 369, 
 
 HABILIMENTS. 
 
 Unmask thyself, and wear no garb but 
 what Nature gave. Appear as thou art, — 
 the eternal child of an Eternal Father! — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 70. 
 
 HAPPINESS. 
 
 Learn to be wise and gentle ; and add to 
 gentleness, love ; and to love, wisdom ; and 
 wisdom, being pure, begets illumination, and 
 illumination, happiness. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, 
 p. 58. 
 
86 STAHNOS. 
 
 HOPE. 
 
 The hope of immortality is an evidence 
 beyond the reach of argument — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 5, p. 299. 
 
 HATRED. 
 
 The indescribable meanness of gold grab- 
 bers and gold worshippers is transcended only 
 by the unspeakable meanness of those who 
 hate and envy them. — Temple, p. 437. 
 
 HAPPINESS. 
 
 The secret of happiness consists in remov- 
 ing unnecessary friction in one's own pathway, 
 and in assisting to remove it from the path- 
 way of others. — Thoughts on Religion, p. 170. 
 
 HOME. 
 
 Happy are they who, because of their har- 
 mony and freedom of Soul, cannot depart 
 from home, . . . being, in themselves, the 
 very essence and elements of its constitution.

 Happiness is an effect, of which goodness

 Unto those who live in the kingdom of 
 harmony all good and all truth and all the 
 joy of righteousness shall be added. — Beyond 
 the Valley, p. 367. 
 
 HOPE. 
 
 When the sun of Reason absorbs its far- 
 spreading radiance and disappears behind the 
 hills of Reflection, and a mental twilight 
 comes on, drawing a dark curtain of doubts 
 o'er the soul's immediate prospect, — then it 
 is that, through the darkness and despair, 
 gleam the innumerable stars of Hope which, 
 like the royal orbs of light that traverse the 
 boundless domain of immensity, are visible 
 and beautiful only when the sun sinks behind 
 the western hills.— Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 297.

 HARMONIES. 
 
 The universal Harmonies of the spiritual 
 world are based upon the principles of Love

 Only those who lovingly and willingly live 
 to benefit the world find true happiness in the 
 bosom of Nature and God, — Arabula, p. 402. 
 
 HEREDITY. 
 
 Blessed is he who possesses the power (of 
 Knowledge) and the will (of Spirit) to rise 
 triumphant over his incidental discord and 
 hereditary imperfections. — Temple, p. 331. 
 
 HARMONY. 
 
 When the individual is perfectly healthy, 
 . . . the organization is a splendid representa- 
 tion of spiritual beauties, musical harmonies, 
 and symmetrical developments. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 1, p. 97. 
 
STARNOS. 89 
 
 HARMONY. 
 
 The higher and more harmonious the mind 
 the nearer does it approach to the Divine 
 Centre, — the inexhaustible Fountain of Love, 
 Power, and Wisdom. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 414. 
 
 HUMANITY. 
 
 Humanity is destined to sweep onward 
 through and through evil — through wars and 
 through justice and peace — until the marvel- 
 lous melodies of the Summer Land mingle 
 with the sympathies and happy music of man- 
 kind. — Beyond the Valley, p. 150. 
 
 HEAVEN. 
 
 When you are truly consecrated to a prin- 
 ciple, the kingdom of heaven is very near to 
 you, and you are very near to it, and it is 
 no longer necessary that you should hire 
 ministers to steer you along the road to a sal- 
 vation from the consequences of sin. — Arab- 
 ula, p. 385.

 HEALTH. 
 
 In perfect health . . . the spiritual princi- 
 ple is refined and attracted upward by the 
 Divine Mind.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 95.

 The mind may, by the exercise of its own 
 great love-and-will powers, eliminate both 
 the causes and the consequences of its in- 
 herited faults, evils, and error. — Heavenly 
 Home, p. 275. 
 
 I. 
 
 IDEALS. 
 
 Every man in his best moments has an 
 Ideal self to which he aspires, — a spiritual 
 magnet, so to speak, drawing him onward 
 and upward above the crudities of his animal 
 nature. — Inner Life, p. 69. 
 
STARNOS. 91 
 
 IDEAS. 
 
 An idea is the form or organization of a 
 conception ; the latter is the soul of the 
 former.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 257. 
 
 INFINITY. 
 
 Infinity is as many times more infinite than 
 you now suppose as there are moments in your 
 eternal life.— Gt. Har. - Vol. 1, p. 177. 
 
 IMPERFECTIONS. 
 
 The divine cannot flow into human struc- 
 tures without the former participating in the 
 imperfections of the latter. — Iuner Life, p. 57. 
 
 ILLUMINATION. 
 
 If we desire reliable illumination, let us go 
 upon the Alps of personal harmony. If we 
 would hear the " voices of angels " under- 
 standing^, let us go upon the mounts of puri- 
 fication, temperance, and simplicity. — Inner

 INTUITION. 
 
 The voice of Truth is heard whispering its 
 first melodies in the soul's intuitions. — Inner

 INSPIRATION. 
 
 It signifies the inflowing of thought, — the 
 breathing in of sentiments. — Inner Life, 
 p. 69. 
 
 INDIVIDUALITY. 
 
 Every spirit is developed and organized 
 sufficiently unlike any other spirit, or sub- 
 stance in the universe, to maintain its indi- 
 viduality throughout eternal spheres. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, p. 189. 
 
 INFLUENCES. 
 
 There is not a budding rose, not a desert 
 flower, not an ocean gem, not a star that 
 gleams, nor a stream that ripples by, that 
 does not exert its own peculiar influence upon 
 the mind. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 95. 
 
STARNOS. 93 
 
 INTUITION. 
 
 Intuition is the Soul's telegraph, — trans- 
 mitting truths from the depths of Genius to 
 the summits of Wisdom, — informing, as by a 
 single flash, the internal man of that which 
 he might otherwise be long years in learning 
 by the external methods of investigation. 
 . . . Woman is more endowed with " Intui- 
 tion " than man. — Inner Life, p. 46. 
 
 ILLUMINATION. 
 
 The superior condition, like the diamond 
 in the enamel, is set in the framework of in- 
 dividual harmony, — harmony in the broadest 
 and highest sense. Such harmony is the 
 foundation, the germ, and the supporter of 
 spiritual illumination. . . . Men will become 
 mentally exalted and spiritually minded just 
 as fast as they subjugate the material to the 
 spiritual ; the body to the mind ; the present 
 to the future; the passions to the Reason. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 285. 
 
94 STARNOS. 
 
 INTEGRITY. 
 
 There is no power more positive to evil 
 than absolute self -integrity, or than innate 
 love and practice of unselfish goodness. — 
 Temple, p. 263. 
 
 INSPIRATION. 
 
 Like everything else in this universe of 
 progression and development, true inspiration 
 is of various kinds and graduated by innumer- 
 able degrees, as regards quality and quantity, 
 . . . it is the illuminating presence and influ- 
 ence of God in the soul. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 296. 
 
 IMMORTALITY. 
 
 It is a tremendous thought, that a human 
 being, once born, can never die! . . . Onward 
 lives triumphantly the real internal man. . . . 
 Onward forever we go, — the embassadors' of 
 infinite uses, of eternal benefits. We should 
 be properly born, then, as well as properly 
 educated.— Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 358. 
 
STAHNOS. 95 
 
 IGNORANCE. 
 
 Ignorance is a negative or passive fulcrum 
 upon which the intellectual lever of spiritual 
 progress acts with an almighty and universal 
 sweep. — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, p. 75. 
 
 INDIVIDUALITY. 
 
 The material organism is designed speci- 
 fically and fundamentally to perform the 
 function of giving individuality to the spirit- 
 ual elements. — Answers to Questions, p. 55. 
 
 IMPATIENCE. 
 
 The wickedest demon of our day is the imp 
 of impatience. He attacks the nerves, and 
 in the twinkling of an eye his victim is in a 
 " murderous rage." He kindles a great fire 
 in the blood ; he attacks the throbbing heart, 
 and runs over the bosom the fingers of death ; 
 then down goes his object, subject, and slave, 
 covered with the black mantle of " sudden 
 disease." — Temple, p. 49. 
 
96 STARNOS. 
 
 INFANCY. 
 
 It is mental infancy which believes in a 
 fickle and wrathful God. — Fountain, p. 191. 
 
 INTUITION. 
 
 Intuition tells you that you are related to 
 an inner universe. — Beyond the Valley, p. 
 389. 
 
 IGNORANCE. 
 
 The doctrine that " this life is a vale of 
 tears," — " a fleeting show," — " a place origi- 
 nally designed to try men's souls," — is, as 
 I see it, the doctrine of ignorance. — Inner 
 Life, p. 400. 
 
 INSPIRATION. 
 
 A quickening and vivification of the truth- 
 attracting affections natural to man is in-

 INCARNATION. 
 
 The holy elements and attributes of God 
 are incarnated in every human spirit. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 2, p. 180. 
 
 IMPERISHABLENESS. 
 
 Look within thee, O man, and behold the 
 imperishable, . . . the inmost, the harmonial, 
 and the everlasting. — Penetralia, p. 441. 
 
 IDEAS. 
 
 Ideas are principles, — the elements from 
 which the spirit-essence is obtained by vintage. 
 Spirit is the ultimate wine of all elements ; 
 the child essentially, not by organization, but 
 of the Paternal and Maternal fountain of 
 Divine Unity — of "God," as before said, 
 and "Mother" Nature. . . . Ideas, there- 
 fore, are the indwelling properties of spirit, 
 — the intelligent constituents, or principles, 
 of the one indivisible essence. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 5, p. 63.

 IMMORALITY. 
 
 He is immorally situated whose duty tells 
 him one thing and his interests another. — 
 Nat. Div. Rev., p. 685. 
 
 IMMUTABILITY. 
 
 Matter and mind are eternal ; by marriage 
 they propagate the worlds which swarm the 
 vast infinitude. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 289. 
 
 INHERITANCE. 
 
 By inheritance, a single human spirit is an 
 abridged edition of the entire universe. . . . 
 Each contains, in focal concentration, the 
 attributes of all. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 99. 
 
 IGNORANCE. 
 
 Ignorance, which has been, and still ap- 
 pears to be, inexorable in its influences must 
 be destroyed by the annihilating hand of 
 Truth and Wisdom, which are omnipotent. — 
 Nat. Div. Rev., p. 16. 
 
STARNOS. 99 
 
 INVITATIONS. 
 
 Like the winged germs of autumnal flowers 
 come the gentle invitations of angels. Over 
 our thoughts they flow like the waves of music 
 on the evening air. — Answers to Questions, 
 p. 368. 
 
 INFORMATION. 
 
 Acquired information is the kit of tools, 
 the musical instrument, or forwarding agent, 
 by which the intuitive and inspired mind 
 demonstrates its constructive truths and hid- 
 den melody. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5 ; p. 14. 
 
 INTEGRITY. 
 
 Constitutional integrity, as as effect of 
 physical and mental equilibrium or thorough 
 health, is the foundation of every known or 
 immaginable excellence. It is the mathe- 
 matically accurate basis on which may stand, 
 eternally unchanged, Truth's own Harmonial 
 Temple.— Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 17.

 INQUIRY. 
 
 Free and unrestrained inquiry is necessary 
 to moral and intellectual progress, and there- 
 fore should be encouraged. — Nat. Div. Rev.,

 INTEGRITY. 
 
 Be true-hearted, reverent, and faithful, — 
 full of integrity in the performance of all 
 things; be firmly determined to develop and % 
 apply the principles of Nature to every thing, 
 — and the highest happiness will be the in- 
 evitable consequence. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 228. 
 
 INTUITION. 
 
 Intuition is "Pure Reason" which does not 
 always need for its growth the gymnastical 
 exercises of the outward perceptive faculties. 
 It is the inwrought wisdom of the eternal 
 spirit, which ever transcends the schools, and 
 confounds the templed doctors. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 5, p. 14. 
 
STARNOS. 101 
 
 IDEALS. 
 
 Every person's Ideal is modified by the 
 force and. flow and shape of circumstances. — 
 Free Thoughts, p. 154. 
 
 INTEGRITY. 
 
 Of all principles requiring strength and 
 independence of character to maintain, there 
 is none more conspicuous than the principle 
 of integrity to one's own nature. — Har. Man, 
 p. 151. 
 
 IMMORTALITY. 
 
 To the spiritually-minded, the idea of an 
 individualized eternal existence is redolent 
 with hallowed grandeur, and it gleams with 
 gorgeous mysteries. . . . The wisdom-illu- 
 mined soul goes soaring and singing of the 
 excellence and beauty of the theme, and his 
 conceptions are " as the beaded bubbles that 
 sparkle on the rim of the cup of immortality, 
 as wreaths of rainbow-spray from the pure 
 cataracts of truth." — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 281. 
 
102 STARNOS. 
 
 IGNORANCE. 
 
 Superficial high-mindedness, or the positive- 
 Dess of ignorance and the pride of knowledge, 
 seal the soul to the influx of God's Spirit and 
 Wisdom.— Stellar Key, p. 19. 
 
 IDEALS. 
 
 The reformer must labor on, without im- 
 petuosity, without idleness, without hatred or 
 malace or revenge ; but with inextinguishable 
 aspirations toward an ideal development of 
 universal goodness and truth. The Ideal 
 first: then the Actual. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 237. 
 
 INJUSTICE. 
 
 All injustice is to be first examined, then 
 understood, then acknowledged, then forgot- 
 ten. A bad deed lives within us, or within 
 others, till love is kindled upon the soul's 
 altar, on the mount of wisdom, in whose flame 
 all wrong is utterly consumed.-— Har. Man, 
 p. 159.

 IMPRESSIONS. 
 
 Good communications depend upon good 
 states of mind. If you would have true im- 
 pressions, live true lives. — Inner Life, p. 368. 
 
 INSANITY. 
 
 Insanity is a disease of the mind. Disease 
 means discord. Therefore any discord of the 
 mind is insanity. — Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 43. 
 
 INNOCENCE. 
 
 Ignorance is the parent of unhealthy and 
 unchaste imaginings. . . . Truth has nothing 
 in its nature to cause a blush to mantle the 
 cheek of innocence. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 64. 
 
 INVESTIGATION. 
 
 There is nothing too sacred or too exalted 
 for the investigations of that soul whose 
 religious emotions and moral dignity are in- 
 spired with a love of truth. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3,

 INFIDELITY. 
 
 Infidelity is the willful violation of that 
 within you which you believe to be Truth, 
 Justice, Righteousness. — Penetralia, p. 82. 
 
 INSANITY. 
 
 Interpreted in the light of unchangeable 
 principles, insanity is no more caused by the 
 infestation of individualized demons than is 
 dyspepsia caused by the sting of a fly, or 
 epilepsy by the perpetual flow of Niagara 
 Falls.— Temple, p. 72. 
 
STAKNOS. 105 
 
 IDEAS. 
 
 Ideas, like worlds, are in the atmosphere. 
 — Beyond the Valley, p. 379. 
 
 INTUITION. 
 
 Intuition is the central dialectician who 
 inspects the substantial principles of truth 
 itself, like an infallible logician at the throne 
 of the superior animation, who predetermines 
 the forms in which truth shall address itself 
 to the individual mind. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 32. 
 
 JUSTICE. 
 
 With the Deity, Justice is both means and 
 end in the elaboration of the material and 
 spiritual Universe. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 150.

 JEALOUSY. 
 
 Jealousy poisons the soul, and casts a poi- 
 sonous odor around to blight the happiness 
 of all it reaches. — Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 61. 
 
 JUSTICE. 
 
 When distributive justice pervades the 
 social world, then virtue and morality will 
 bloom with an immortal beauty. The sun of 
 righteousness will arise in the horizon of uni- 
 versal industry and shed its genial rays over 
 all the fields of peace and plenty and human 
 happiness. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 782.

 mind. — Fountain, p. 219. 
 
STARNOS. 107 
 
 KNOWLEDGE. 
 
 The best knowledge in the world is attrib- 
 utable to the world's ignorance. . . . Defeat

 KINDNESS. 
 
 The supreme law of kindness and love, 
 which is justice, should govern man in all his 
 relations and intercourse with his subordinates 
 and servants in the floods and fields of exist- 
 ence. — Fountain, p. 50. 
 
 KNOWLEDGE. 
 
 Knowledge or learning is an effect of a 
 multitude of facts and opinions consigned to 
 the recesses of the memory, and which are 
 based upon external Perception and Testi- 
 mony. . . . Knowledge is acquired and super- 
 ficial, hut wisdom is unfolded and intui- 
 tional— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 216.

 LOVE. 
 
 Love is the primary cause of all phenomena 
 in physical creation. Love is the Soul of the 
 Deity.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 136. 
 
 LIGHT. 
 
 Light in its essence is Love ; and Love is 
 Life. . . . Light is the material vehicle of 
 Divine Life.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 279. 
 
 LAW. 
 
 Every movement in universal Nature is a 
 direct response to the imperative command of 
 immutable Law, which is the rule of divine 
 action eternally established by Him who 
 presides over and animates an infinite crea- 
 tion ! — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 43. 
 
STAKNOS. 109 
 
 LOVE. 
 
 To love wisely is to practice the religion of 
 eternity. — Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 72. 
 
 LENIENCY. 
 
 He who is truthful and free, and every- 
 where carries with him a heart of love and 
 kindness, measures man not by the length of 
 his creed, but by the life within and its exter- 
 nal manifestations. — Memoranda, p. 258. 
 
 LABOR. 
 
 All true Labor "is joy divine." . . . 
 Castle and fortress are destroyed by the labor 
 of the ivy, the lichen, and the wall-flower. 
 Ignorance is overthrown by the labors of 
 knowledge. Rock-built citadels decay beneath 
 the incessant action of harmoniously rolling 
 seasons. Vice is displaced by the labor of 
 virtue. Life is exalted by the action of its 
 varied elements. — Answers to Questions, p. 
 •378.

 LIGHT. 
 
 The Light which Truth giveth cannot be 
 extinguished, — it is the Life of the Universe. 
 — Phil, of Spir. Inter., p. 265. 
 
 LIFE. 
 
 Wherever you behold Life there you be- 
 hold Love. . . . There is but one principle of 
 Life in the universe. Life issues from a 
 Deific Fountain ; it sends forth countless 
 streams ; and each organization drinks accord- 
 ing to its capacity. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4. p. 32. 
 
 LOVE. 
 
 Love can be free only when wholly eman- 
 cipated from licentiousness. Love will never 
 be pure until Wisdom waves the banner of 
 liberty over its head. . . . Love must be dis- 
 entangled from the webwork of ignorance. 
 It must be upraised, and worshipped as the 
 spirit of God in man. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, 
 p. 295.

 The safety of a true Harmonial Republic 
 consists in organic liberty, which brings to 
 every man his natural Rights and attractive 
 Industry. — Har. Man, p. 20. 
 
 LOVE. 
 
 The deep, divine, vitalizing, vivifying, and 
 immortal essence of the Soul is Love; the 
 passive or neutral faculty is Will ; the re- 
 straining, governing, dissecting, and harmo- 
 nizing faculty is Wisdom. — Gt. Har. Vol. 
 2, p. 135.

 That innate power which takes hold upon

 LIBERTY. 
 
 Beyond the valley of bondage to error and 
 injustice you behold upon your mother's 
 white bosom an immortal diamond, — spark- 
 ling with the prismatic splendor of a galaxy 
 of suns, — and the name thereof is Liberty! 
 All exertion, all life, all unrest, all discontent, 
 all exerted energy mean inherent efforts for 
 liberty. — Beyond the Valley, p. 321.

 MUSIC. 
 
 Every thing which moves and feels and 
 thinks in the Omnipresent spirit of God is 
 impregnated with music. What a gospel is 
 this ! — Inner Life, p. 402. 
 
 MATTER. 
 
 Matter does not itself perform the labor of 
 thinking, but is the elastic, the plastic, and 
 always-efficient agent to do the work of mas- 
 ter-forces, which it has the privilege to clothe 
 and to accompany. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 183. 
 
 MOURNING. 
 
 It is far more reasonable and appropriate 
 to weep at the majority of marriages which 
 occur in this world than to lament when 
 man's immortal spirit escapes from its earthly 
 form, to live and unfold in a higher and 
 better country. . . . Robe yourselves with 
 garments of light to honor the spirit's birth 
 into a higher life.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 171. 
 
STABXOS. 115 
 
 MYSTERIES. 
 
 The progressive growth of the spirit in

 coming and going of terrestrial winds. — Death

 MARRIAGE. 
 
 True Marriage is the most divine, sacred, 
 and eternal of all relations into which the 
 human and immortal Soul enters. ... A 
 true union, a true oneness of Soul, is developed 
 by an internal affinity, by the interior and 
 eternal Law of Association. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, 
 p. 193. 
 
 MIND. 
 
 The mind is designed for boundless free- 
 dom ; its aspirations are unto the beautiful, 
 the glorious, the sublime, and unto the Great 
 Moving Principle of the Universe. . . . The 
 mind seeks eternal things because it is itself 
 everlasting and eternal. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2,

 is thus prepared to be a better neighbor and 
 more successful in all the genuine enterprises 
 of present life. — Death and After Life, p. 99; 
 
 MERIT. 
 
 Downright reality and substantial merit 
 drive out the devils of dress and display, just 
 as a true diamond is most beautiful when set 
 in plain black, with a fine thread of pure gold 
 running round the edge of the ring. — Our

 MARTYRDOM. 
 
 There is an irresistible Gulf Stream of disr 
 tributive justice, with ebbless tide, palpitating 
 with deific energy, setting straight through the

 fitted posterity to crown with glory the man 
 who suffered martyrdom by mistaken ances- 
 tors. — Penetralia, p. 174.

 MAN. 
 
 Man is a " harp of a thousand strings," 
 which, when properly tuned and played upon,

 harmony.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 170. 
 
 MEMORY. 
 
 In the grave are entombed every error, 
 regret, defect, resentment, and unkind remem- 
 brance. The look, the smile, the bearing, the 
 good deed, the noble saying, are preserved in 
 the palace of memory. — Inner Life, p. 156. 
 
 MEDITATION. 
 
 The reflective faculties, relaxing their hold 
 upon passing events, repose serenely within 
 the flowery solitudes of Wisdom. From the 
 holy mountain of moral meditation — whereon 
 there is an intuitive perception and realization 
 of eternal principles — the matured mind 
 calmly contemplates the world. — Hist, and

 education. — Heavenly Home, p. 51.

 practitioner of fraternal love, justice, truth, 
 liberty. . . . Fraternal love is the missionary 
 blossom of a spiritual civilization. — Heav-

 Nature is a book whose every sentence

 point of life ; the first productions of Nature 
 are inferior to her every subsequent unfold- 
 ing. — Penetralia, p. 43. 
 
 NOBILITY.

 NOBLENESS. 
 
 A man must not only know that it is wrong

 Man is an organization not composed of a 
 mutual agreement of parts through the in- 
 definite workings of an inpetuous Nature, but 
 is rather the perfect form, the highest image, 
 the designed organization of the divine Mind 
 that pervades immensity. — Nat. Div. Rev., 
 p. 351. 
 
130 STARKOS. 
 
 OMNIPRESENCE. 
 
 The divine essence is everywhere and in 
 all things.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 263.

 God must be himself organized before he 
 can breathe forth organization. — Gt. Har.

 OBSERVATION. 
 
 Look into the laws of life from a purely 
 honest observation of its principles and pur- 
 poses, and thus harmonize with its constitu- 
 tional needs and eternal ends. — Fountain, 
 p. 245. 
 
 OPPOSITION. 
 
 The only hope for the amelioration of the 
 world is free thought and unrestricted in- 
 quiry. Anything which opposes or tends to 
 obstruct this sublime and lofty principle is 
 wrong. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 5.

 PURITY. 
 
 To be pure, something besides soap and 
 hot water is required. It is downright hard 
 work in the character. Something besides 
 very severe labor is also needed. It is cheer- 
 fulness of spirit and good physical habits. — 
 Eth. of Conj. Love, p. 85. 
 
 PRAYER. 
 
 The only prayer I would recommend is a 
 practically righteous life. . . . Harmonial 
 Culture not only brings out that which is in- 
 trinsically constitutional, hut increases the in- 
 terior power of attraction, whereby the soul 
 obtains the pabulum of life, and grows exceed- 
 ingly — on and on, henceforth and forever. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 57. 
 
132 STAKNOS. 
 
 PRAYER. 
 
 A profoundly grateful and loving heart is 
 slow in verbal prayer and exquisitely delicate 
 in professions. — Heavenly Home, p. 51. 
 
 PERFECTNESS. 
 
 Be instructed by the Past, and by all it has 
 brought you. Be thankful for the Present, 
 and for all its blessings. Be hopeful for the 
 Future, and for all it promises to bring you. 
 — Penetralia, p. 112. 
 
 PURPOSES. 
 
 A high, pure Purpose is possible only to 
 spirit Ambition is earthly; aspiration is 
 spiritual. . • . Pure Purpose brings the in- 
 most spirit into harmony with pure Truth, 
 which is eternal. There is no failure, no 
 defeat, no killing disappointment in the mind 
 that is exclusively moved by a high Purpose 
 in its external relations to mankind. — Phil, 
 of Spir. Inter., p. 353. 
 
STARNOS. 133 
 
 PHILOSOPHERS. 
 
 Only those who search for and impart the 
 " truth " with a harmonial love to gain the 
 Alpine summits of " wisdom," and who labor 
 with the unselfish aspiration to advance man- 
 kind in virtue and happiness, are worthy of 
 the honorable title of Philosopher. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 5, p. 270. 
 
 PRINCIPLES. 
 Truth, Love, Justice, Beauty, Liberty, 
 Growth,- — these are principles, and also the * 
 fruition of principles, which would overcome 
 all evil, and fill the world with brotherhood, 
 joy, peace, happiness. — Beyond the Valley, 
 p. 257. 
 
 Great thoughts, true feelings, high truths, 
 innate ideas, immortal principles, — these 
 come, and these abide; they multiply and 
 exalt all existences, and they carry us all in 
 their bosoms, or take us by the hand, and go 
 on forever. — Beyond the Valley, p. 58. 
 
134 STARNOS. 
 
 PHENOMENA. 
 
 The Cause of phenomena is self-intelligent, 
 self-loving, self-rewarded, absolute, unchange- 
 able. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 85. 
 
 PROGRESSION. 
 
 Ignorance is the diabolical monster of the 
 human mind, and selfishness is the " roaring 
 lion " that goes up and down the earth, seek- 
 ing whom it may " devour." Progression is 
 the angel of our deliverance. — Harbinger of 
 Health, p. 420. 
 
 PLAYFULNESS. 
 
 The human face is provided with thousands 
 of nerves and fibres naturally responsive to 
 playfulness, wit, and feelings of mirthfulness, 
 while there are exceedingly few provisions 
 made by Providence for expressing grief, 
 melancholy, and other bilious affections. The 
 good and pure, in all worlds and spheres, are 
 gay and playful. — Temple, p. 443. 
 
STARNOS. 135 
 
 POWER. 
 
 One profound student of nature will put to 
 flight ten thousand priests whose only strength 
 consists in their ecclesiastical organizations, 
 and in the superstitious ignorance of their 
 devotees. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 16. 
 
 PRAYER. 
 
 True prayer, oral or silent, is born of the 
 bosom, not of the brain. — Fountain, p. 180. 
 
 True prayer is the glowing and graceful 
 expression of the virgin imagination, warmed 
 and fed by spiritual passion and devout medi- 
 tation. — Fountain, p. 185. 
 
 Prayer is sometimes a key by which the 
 golden door of infinite opportunities may be 
 unlocked ; and, sometimes, prayer calls to 
 our immediate aid those wise and strong 
 guardians who daily live in harmony with the 
 eternal currents of affection. — Fountain, p. 
 220. 
 
136 STAKNDS. 
 
 PROGRESSION. 
 
 The Soul knows no retrogression, neither 
 maturity. It is destined for eternal progres- 
 sion, and for the unbroken enjoyment of an 
 immortal youth. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 65. 
 
 POWER. 
 
 When the spirits' power rises up from its 
 inmost, — when it expands above force and 
 war, both private and public,— it sees itself 
 to be " a conqueror " in the midst of its ma- 
 terial surroundings. — Arabula, p. 384. 
 
 POPULARITY. 
 
 If men loved Truth more than the honey- 
 comb of Popularity, — worshipped Principle 
 more than the gold which devotion to fash- 
 ionable " vital Piety " brings them, — then, 
 indeed, would come the good time — the Pla- 
 tonic Era — when Truth and Peace, Law and 
 Liberty, shall reign supreme. — Inner Life, 
 p. 61.

 of things. — Heavenly Home, p. 147.

 lation of the Natural, Spiritual, and Celestial 
 departments of God's Universal Temple. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 104. 
 
 PRAYER. 
 
 True spirit-prayer, Hke the glory of morn- 
 ing dew, ascends noiselessly. The answer? 
 that comes, welcome as the fall of rain, when 
 the soul most needs nutrition. — Penetralia, 
 p. 78. 
 
138 STAKNOS. 
 
 PASSIONS. 
 
 Passionate emotions are fleeting. They 
 are heaven's lightning flash. ... As the flash 
 of lightning is to the ever-shining sun, so is 
 the fire of passion to the serene love of the 
 spirit. — Beyond the Valley, p. 378. 
 
 PREJUDICES. 
 
 Men should not cherish prejudices against 
 each other, so long as the sun shines to bless 
 the earth and all men, and while the laws of 
 Nature are unchangeable and ever impartial 
 in their displays. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 718. 
 
 PURIFICATION. 
 
 The calm, pure heavens are peopled with 
 hosts of strong powers whose great sympa- 
 thetic hearts beat, through all the interven- 
 ing space, responsive to our every soul-born 
 prayer for purification and righteousness. . . 
 Every such prayer is some day answered. — 
 Magic Staff, p. 135.

 ever the best physicians. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1,

 nal value of pure purposes. — Death and After 
 Life, p. 82. 
 
 PREJUDICES. 
 
 Unless we can cast off the prejudices of the 
 man and become as children, docile and un- 
 perverted, we need never hope to enter the 
 temple of philosophy. — Stellar Key, p. 92. 
 
 PRINCIPLES.

 Justice, Truth, Wisdom, and Liberty. Prin- 
 ciples, wherever you find them, whether in

 ishable words of God. — Thoughts on Relig- 
 ion, p. 183.

 of our undevelopment. — Beyond the Valley, 
 p. 394. 
 
 PUNISHMENTS. 
 
 Anything that produces discord in the 
 physical, or social, or moral systems of our 
 being will cause us to suffer a physical, social, 
 or moral punishment. — Phil, of Spec. Provi- 
 dences, p. 68. 
 
 PERFECTION.

 PROOFS. 
 
 There is an abundance of proof that the 
 dwellers of the other life are in daily commu- 
 nication with minds of persons who yet in- 
 habit the temple of clay. — Inner Life, p. 312. 
 
142 STABNOS. 
 
 PRINCIPLES. 
 
 Principles are everywhere operative intel- 
 ligences. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 61. 
 
 POWER. 
 
 Use informs of Utility ; Justice informs of 
 Right ; and Power executes their united De- 
 signs. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 151.

 He who can carry about, in the unseen 
 chambers of his heart, a disposition to make 
 peace on earth and good will toward man is 
 already in the kingdom of peace. — - Gt. Har. 
 Yol. 3, p. 360. 
 
 PROPHECIES. 
 Human efforts toward a true knowledge of 
 life and its laws are in reality just so many 
 prophecies of the discoveries of truth, which 
 will ultimately triumph, and crown humanity, 
 and finally save the world.— Temple, p. 57.

 POWER. 
 
 Power, which is always from spirit, is

 beads on the endless rosary, which consists of 
 countless decades of orbs. — Answers to Ques- 
 tions, p. 27. 
 
 PHILOSOPHY. 
 
 Harmonial Philosophy teaches that self- 
 possession — true self-ownership — is one of 
 the paths leading to the shortest road to the 
 kingdom of heaven. — Free Thoughts, p. 168. 
 
 PUNISHMENT. 
 
 It is philosophically impossible for punish- 
 ment to be interminable. The endless dura- 
 tion of punishment would utterly destroy the 
 purposes of punishment. — Answers to Ques- 
 tions, p. 209. 
 
144 STABNOS. 
 
 PRINCIPLES. 
 
 Principles are both omnipresent and im- 
 personal. — Stellar Key, p. 157.

 POWER. 
 
 Weakness is mortal, a disease ; power is 
 immortal, being perfect health. — Beyond the 
 Valley, p. 387. 
 
 PROGRESS. 
 
 Progress is a law of Nature. To resist the 
 perpetual tendencies of this law is to resist 
 the sublime workings of the universe. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, p. 213. 
 
 PURITY. 
 
 Conceptions of purity and refinement are 
 enlarged in proportion to the knowledge one 
 possesses of what is impure and unrefined, — 
 Nat. Div. Rev., p. 200. 
 
 PIETY. 
 
 True piety 'is a consciousness and confession

 You can hear the voice of intuition only

 ciples. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 50.

 All truthful-mindedness is beautiful right-

 EEVEALMENT. 
 
 The height, length, breadth, and depth of 
 true religion are revealed and fulfilled in the 
 union of man with the love, justice, power, 
 and beauty of Omniscient goodness. — Arab- 
 ula, p. 101. 
 
 REASON. 
 
 We behold the temple of the Infinite as one 
 great system of unity and truth. And reason, 
 not insanity, is the medium whereby we first 
 comprehend, and then adore. — Inner Life, 
 p. 391. 
 
 Reason is the mirror which, when untar- 
 nished by ignorance or undeformed by error, 
 reflects the form and likeness of truth, natur- 
 ally as the placid lake images forth the 
 firmament. — Inner Life, p. 45. 
 
150 STAKNOS. 
 
 REFINEMENT. 
 
 Strict adherence to rules of physical and 
 mental discipline will always refine the feel- 
 ings and elevate the mind. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, 
 p. 210. 
 
 RETARDATION. 
 
 Every pure and innate quality of the hu- 
 man soul is arrested in its growth, because 
 society smiles not on its tenderness, nourishes 
 not its roots, and assists not, by superior cir- 
 cumstances, its growth. — Nat. Div. Rev., 
 p. 688. 
 
 REALITIES. 
 
 Motion, Life, Sensation, and Intelligence 
 are elements as substantially real as Fire, 
 Heat, Light, and Electricity. Mind is as 
 much a substance as matter, only not so far 
 down in the scale. . . . The law of mind and 
 the law of matter is one ; and souls and stars 
 are moved and regulated by the same great 
 general principle. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 279. 
 
STARNOS. 151 
 
 REVELATION. 
 
 Nature, reason, and intuition are the only 
 infallible mediums of revelation, — the only 
 church, creed, and religion natural to the mind 
 of man. — Inner Life, p. 46. 
 
 REFORM. 
 
 Reform is kindred with sunlight, kindred 
 with trees, with the flow of ocean, and the 
 tide of time ; and will grow naturally, as 
 flowers come out of the ground, and as moun- 
 tains rise out of the sea. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, 
 p. 24. 
 
 RELIGION. 
 
 The only true Religion is that which em- 
 braces the universe, reveals perfect justice, 
 breathes boundless goodness, fills the rea- 
 son with light, the affections with love, the 
 sorrowing with consolation, the down-trodden 
 with courage, and the despairing with the 
 golden beams of eternal hope. — Heavenly 
 Home, p. 205.

 EEFINEMENT. 
 
 All matter is perpetually on the way to 
 spiritual association. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 
 184. 
 
 EECEPTIVITY. 
 
 Those immutable laws which govern the 
 pulsations of divine vitality through the uni- 
 verse are so minute and righteous that the 
 tiny flower and revolving orb alike receive 
 life, direction, and protection according to 
 their respective capacities and requirements. 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 282. 
 
 REASON. 
 
 Have a good and benevolent reason for 
 everything you do. Never act from a nar- 
 row, selfish impulse. Be loving and tender- 
 hearted. . . . Never do wrong. For there 
 are thousands of pure and loving angels look- 
 ing upon us, desiring our speedy deliverance 
 from discord and error. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 230.

 RESISTANCE. 
 
 To resist the law of eternal Growth is to 
 resist the plainest law of the universe. — Inner

 To willing minds the Infinite always speaks. 
 Boundless Justice is the highest manifestation 
 of true religion. — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, 
 p. 93. 
 
 REQUIREMENTS. 
 
 All things receive the Spirit of God, and 
 bathe in it, and express it in the external in 
 exact proportion to their capacity and absolute 
 requirements. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 303. 
 
 REGENERATION. 
 " Regeneration " is a perpetual phenome- 
 non of existence ; the result of no miraculous 
 "change of heart," — a perennial growth in 
 Love and Wisdom. — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, 
 p. 92. 
 
154 STAKNOS. 
 
 RELIGION. 
 
 True religion injustice, and joy, and peace, 
 and beauty. — Approaching Crisis, p. 106. 
 
 REASON. 
 
 As Reason exalts man above, so the lack 
 of it degrades him beneath, the animal con- 
 sciousness. — Temple, p. 10. 
 
 REFORM. 
 
 The fire of dispassionate Reason will purify 
 the hell of all past deeds. . . . Every soul is 
 required to place some fuel under the distill- 
 ing crucible. . . . Bring fuel to the fire of 
 reform, therefore, and work to burn up your 
 own evils. Set your alcohol on fire. De- 
 stroy all your noxious weeds of vice. Let 
 the furnace of private redemption burn hotter 
 and hotter until every personal discord is 
 consumed. Fix your whole heart firmly upon 
 what your higher faculties admire, and do 
 their bidding. — Harbinger of Health, p. 118. 
 
STARNOS. 155 
 
 RELIGION. 
 
 In the harmonial age, true religion is uni* 
 ver sal justice. Everything will be attuned to 
 the laws of equity and reciprocation. — Hist,

 REASON. 
 
 If there was ever a flower from the soil of 
 heaven planted in the garden of the human 
 soul, blooming with an ever-increasing beauty 
 and with an eternal fragrance, it is Reason. — 
 Thoughts on Religion, p. 79. 
 
 RESPONSIBILITY. 
 
 In the honest pursuit of truth each mind 
 must employ its own immortal reason, arrive 
 conscientiously and thoughtfully at its own 
 conclusions, and be prepared not only to "give 
 a reason for the hope within," but also to 
 accept that regal responsibility which is in- 
 separable from personality and conduct. — 
 Temple, p. 229.

 RELIGION. 
 
 Justice and truth generate happiness, the 
 native religion of the soul. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2,

 REASON. 
 
 Reason is the full-blown flower of the spirit; 
 its fragrance is Love and knowledge. — Pene- 
 tralia, p. 240. 
 
 REFORM. 
 
 The Principle of Love is the great lever 
 of reformation. Fear is certain to subject 
 and paralyze the soul, but Love draws the 
 soul above. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 355. 
 
 RESPONSIBILITY. 
 
 The effect of too much reliance upon the 
 invisible for aid is to beget weak-mindedness 
 and unfitness for any great work ; no man 
 can accomplish much who doubts his personal 
 capabilities and shirks individual responsi- 
 bility. — Penetralia, p. 77. 
 
STAKNOS. 157 
 
 REFORM. 
 
 Thanks to the Supreme Power of the uni- 
 verse, the law of reform works unchangeably 
 onward. — Thoughts on Religion, p. 7. 
 
 REASON. 
 
 Reason, on the wings of faith and justice, 
 is a bird of paradise. Its flight is outward, 
 onward, upward. — Thoughts on Religion, 
 p. 21. 
 
 RITUALS. 
 
 A religion of forms, of ceremonies, of 
 rituals, is not the religion of manhood. Men 
 need a religion which, when defined, means 
 Universal Justice. — Penetralia, p. 406. 
 
 REFORMATION. 
 
 Do we yearn for love, let us be loving ; do 
 we yearn for reformation, let us be reformed ; 
 do we yearn to free mankind from discord 
 and wrong, let us be free. — Har. Man, p. 151. 
 
158 STARKOS. 
 
 RESPONSIBILITY. 
 
 The human individual's responsibility is 
 commensurate with, or in proportion to, the 
 mind's power to conceive of justice and free- 
 dom. — Answers to questions, p. 206. 
 
 REALIZATION. 
 
 Whether your parentage be Caucasian or 
 African, Mongolian or Indian, Celtic or Teu- 
 tonic, it is all the same. Nature will do her 
 work, and you will experience at last a com- 
 plete realization of her original Ideas. — 
 Penetralia, p. 422. 
 
 REPENTANCE. 
 
 Repentance unto life is a resolution taken 
 in your wisdom faculties, renouncing a per- 
 sonal evil habit before the whole angel-world, 
 whose aid you invoke, — a resolution carried 
 out, practically, in every subsequent act of 
 your life. — Answers to Questions, p. 153. 
 
STARNOS. 159 
 
 REPUTATION. 
 
 Reputation is but a brush-heap at best. A 
 few flashes of fire from falsehood's forked 
 tongue would destroy it root and branch. — 
 Magic Staff, p. 526. 
 
 SPEECH. 
 
 The speech of spirits drops upon the inter- 
 nal tympanum like music over the sea. The 
 words are distinct as bugle notes, but they 
 affect the mind as childhood's kisses do the 
 lips, leaving a sweet presence and benefaction 
 behind them. . . . The voice of a spirit is 
 like the spirit of truth, — most eloquent when 
 manifested in deeds, — for thus the higher 
 intelligences communicate their thoughts to 
 those beneath them. — Answers to Questions,

 The soul knows no retrogression ; neither 
 maturity. It is destined for eternal progres- 
 sion, — for the unbroken enjoyment of an 
 immortal youth. — Inner Life, p. 411. 
 
 SEPULCHRES. 
 
 The true Spiritualist sees that there is no 
 sepulchre, no tomb ; . . . that death is noth- 
 ing but a gentle "defeat" which excludes 
 the cypress and includes the laurel. — Phil, 
 of Spir. Inter., p. 345. 
 
STARNOS. 161 
 
 STANDARD. 
 
 Eternal truth, as it is revealed through the 
 beautiful mediums of love and Justice, is the 
 only everlasting standard. — Fountain, p. 231. 
 
 SEQUENCES. 
 
 We make (or have made by the confluence 
 of external circumstances for us) our heaven 
 and our hell as we journey forward; they 
 come not as arbitrary rewards and punish- 
 ments, but as inevitable sequences to right and 
 wrong doing. — Penetralia, p. 224. 
 
 SPHERES. 
 
 As a tree spreadeth its branches over the 
 weary traveller, and delighteth his sense with 
 sweet perfume, even while he smiteth it to 
 obtain its fruit, so do the angelic spheres — 
 the spirit-worlds — spread themselves over 
 earth's inhabitants, yielding them, in the still 
 hours of life's repose, joy and holy inspiration. 
 — Phil, of Spir. Inter., p. 265.

 SUPREMACY. 
 
 A natural intuition of religious truth gives 
 all a love of moral supremacy. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 5, p. 161. 
 
 SALVATION. 
 
 We must work out " our own salvation " 
 from the causes of unhappiness. The angels 
 will help us just in proportion as we help 
 ourselves. — Harbinger of Health, p. 420. 
 
 SPIRIT. 
 
 The spirit, in consequence of its outer or- 
 ganization, can never be lost or dissipated in 
 any of the great cycles of the ever-changing 
 universe. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 407. 
 
 The spirit itself is inmost and is intimately 
 allied to the perfect and supreme. It could 
 not be created ; it could not be destroyed. It 
 never had a miraculous beginning; it will 
 never experience a miraculous end. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 5, p. 401. 
 
STARNOS. 163 
 
 SPIRIT. 
 
 The spirit is the wine procured from the 
 vintage of the universe. It is obtained from 
 the ultimate ethers of all elements combined. 
 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 63. 
 
 STRENGTH. 
 
 It is sublime strength and wisdom to allow 
 the principle, " overcome evil with good," to 
 flow up from within and over all one's rela- 
 tions to his fellowmen. . . . All principles 
 are innate, and will grow powerful in due 
 season. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 93. 
 
 SPLENDOR. 
 A silent splendor floats down from the 
 noon-day sun and illuminates the hills. Star- 
 beams come down from on high and play 
 amid the lilies of the valley. There is a glow 
 and a loveliness — a poem and a song — 
 upon, and flowing from, every thing that lives. 
 
 — Inner Life, p. 13. 
 
164 STAENOS. 
 
 SPIRITUALIZATION. 
 
 The spiritual body is " matter " spiritual* 
 ized, as the flower is the earth refined. — • 
 Inner Life, p. 55. 
 
 SORROWS. 
 
 Just above a sharp thorn the bud bursts 
 open, and a flower unfolds. So every sorrow 
 embosoms a joy, — every grief is accompanied 
 by some beneficent provision to mitigate its 
 intensity, and secure a good result. — Ap- 
 proaching Crisis, p. 150. 
 
 SLEEP. 
 
 It is the Soul and not the body which 
 experiences exhaustion and requires sleep. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 151. 
 
 Sleep is only a mode by which the fatigued 
 soul partially withdraws itself from the phys- 
 ical structure, and gathers inwardly for the 
 purpose of self-recuperation. — Gt. Har. Vol. 
 1, p. 151. 
 
STARNOS. 165 
 
 SUBJECTIVITY. 
 
 If the mind would grow and expand from 
 its own roots and vitality, its possessor must 
 cultivate subjectivity of feeling and thinking. 
 — Beyond the Valley, p. 318. 
 
 SOURCES. 
 
 There are but four general sources of 
 thought and knowledge, namely, — the life- 
 springs of the soul ; the suggestions of exter- 
 nal nature ; the well-springs of humanity ; 
 and the exhaustless fountains of the spiritual 
 universe.— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 303. 
 
 SUBLIMITY. 
 
 How glorious and exalting to experience, 
 in common with the manifold creations of 
 nature, the sublime presence of the Great 
 Spirit; how elevating to feel our souls be- 
 gemmed and constantly spiritualized by the 
 mellow, glowing light of numberless firma- 
 ments ! — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 280. 
 
166 STABNOS. 
 
 SYMPATHY. 
 
 It is highly essential to our happiness and 
 development that we allow our souls to grow 
 into the religion of a universal sympathy. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 109. 
 
 SIN. 
 Sin, in the common acceptation of that 
 term, does not really exist ; but what is called 
 sin is merely a misdirection of man's physical 
 and spiritual powers, which generates un- 
 happy consequences. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 521. 
 
 SPIRITUALIZATION. 
 
 Spiritualization is the high inflowing flood- 
 tide of the Divine life unto humanity; but 
 "materialization" is the subsidence, — the 
 backward and downward drift of the sea; 
 and, lo ! the shores thereof will be strewn 
 with multitudinous wrecks, — doubters, agnos- 
 tics, cynics, hermits, haters, heathen. — Be- 
 yond the Yalley, p. 330. 
 
STARNOS. 167 
 
 SPIEIT. 
 
 The human spirit is the focal organism of 
 Nature. — Inner Life, p. 54. 
 
 SCIENCE. 
 
 Science is a sure safe-guard against super- 
 stition. — Fountain, p. 231. 
 
 SECTARIANISM. 
 
 It is with you and your convictions to 
 decide whether a sectarian bondage shall op- 
 press the free-born mind, or whether knowl- 
 edge and universal happiness shall bless the 
 earth. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 707. 
 
 SINCERITY. 
 
 A True word, although sown in weedy 
 soil, will eventually be fruitful of its own 
 seed ; even so will a true life, if lived in down- 
 right sincerity, overcome disease and all hard- 
 ships, even old death itself. — Beyond the 
 Valley, p. 167. 
 
168 STARNOS. 
 
 SUNDAY. 
 
 It is right to live every day as correctly as 
 on Sunday.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 338. 
 
 SILENCE. 
 
 True silence is the handmaid of meditation ; 
 she is a good and faithful friend to him who 
 prays in secret. — Penetralia, p. 108. 
 
 SIN. 
 
 Sin is a name for excess, — a mark missed 
 
 by man in his development; a ditch into 
 
 which, when with ignorance or passion blind, 
 
 we stumble for a season. — Penetralia, p. 43. 
 
 STRENGTH. 
 
 Pure spirit is above the reach of tempta- 
 tion. Moral strength to overcome or to resist 
 evil is the promise of the future angel. It is, 
 in fact, the basis on which the angel-character 
 is finally erected. — Thoughts on Religion, 
 p. 210. 
 
STARNOS. 169 
 
 SUPERSTITION. 
 
 The changing and inclement skies of super- 
 stition entail distress and wretchedness upon 
 human nature. — Fountain, p. 240. 
 
 SELFISHNESS. 
 
 Live selfishly for yourself and you will sit 
 down at the end of life dissatisfied with human 
 existence. — Phil, of Spir. Inter., p. 360. 
 
 SIGHT. 
 
 The physical eye can only see physical 
 things, while the spiritual eye can behold both 
 spiritual and physical things. — Stellar Key, 
 p. 135. 
 
 SPIRIT. 
 
 The spirit will progress eternally. . . . 
 Let us, then, live justly, truly, and purely; 
 because by so doing our position will be com- 
 manding and glorious in those numberless 
 spheres where the spirit will reside. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 2, p. 254. 
 
170 STARNOS. 
 
 SPLENDORS. 
 
 Dull minds sleep behind dull senses ; but 
 star-eyed persons possess minds shining full 
 of heavenly splendors. — Stellar Key, p. 19. 
 
 SUFFERINGS. 
 
 Sufferings are blessings, — the evidences of 
 Nature's justice, the careful baptism of deific 
 love eternal.— Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 383. 
 
 SUBLIMITY. 
 
 This great natural universe in all its sub- 
 limity is nothing when compared with the 
 essential properties and immortal capacities 
 of man's spirit. — Hist* and Phil, of -Evil, 
 p. 217. 
 
 SELFISHNESS. 
 
 Do good from a selfish motive, and you 
 will find a chemical poison at the very heart, 
 which will leave your nature as poor as a 
 miser is with his full coffers. — Death and 
 After Life, p. 170. 
 
STABNOS. 171 
 
 SPIRITUALISM. 
 
 Spiritualism is useful as a living demonstra- 
 tion of a future existence. It abundantly 
 proves this ; but nothing else with certainty. 
 — Magic Staff, p. 544. 
 
 SINNERS. 
 
 The sinner deserves the love and blessing 
 of God ineffably more than the self-sustaining 
 and well-developed ; for the wise and happy 
 need not a physician, but those only who are 
 sick and unfortunate. — Penetralia, p. 73. 
 
 SPONTANEITY. 
 
 All true inspiration must be spontaneous ; 
 it must spring from the deep foundations of 
 Nature, and seek an expression through the 
 human soul and tongue, as the ten thousand 
 rivulets, starting from the pregnant side of 
 stupendous mountains, converge and mingle 
 in the distant valley, and form the mighty 
 ocean. — Phil, of Spir. Inter., p. 247. 
 
172 STARNOS. 
 
 SHEPHERDS. 
 
 The pure eternal Truth is man's only true 
 shepherd. It is the diamond jewel which 
 only God's life can make palpable to the 
 deepest intuitions. — Beyond the Valley, p. 
 327. 
 
 SCENES. 
 
 I behold the spiritual sphere as containing 
 all the beauties of the natural sphere com- 
 bined and perfected. . . . Every earth is of 
 itself an index and an introduction to the 
 beauty and grandeur that are existing in the 
 Second Sphere. . . . The extended surface of 
 this Sphere, I perceive, presents regular and 
 gentle undulations, which render the whole 
 diversified and exceedingly inviting. Very 
 extensive plains are presented, which are 
 clothed with great fertility, and with innu- 
 merable varieties of forms such as deck the 
 bosom of the earth when all things are favor- 
 able to a thrifty production. — Nat. Div. Rev., 
 p. 653. 
 
stabjstos. 173 
 
 SKEPTICISM. 
 
 Knowledge is a constitutional skeptic ; Wis- 
 dom is a believer ; Love is a worshipper. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 4, p. 34. 
 
 SECRETS. 
 
 You will find the scientific secrets of im- 
 mortality concealed behind the underworking 
 laws of Nature.— Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 384. 
 
 SPIRITUALIZATION. 
 
 That mind is most expanded and spiritual- 
 ized in his thoughts and feelings who sees 
 "God in every thing.'' — Answers to Ques- 
 tions, p. 181. 
 
 SOCIETIES. 
 
 Societies in the Second Sphere are very 
 much to be admired, because of the perfect 
 harmony which pervades them, and the per- 
 fect melody and concert of rudimental and 
 perfected knowledge which they manifest. — 
 Nat. Div. Rev., p. 650. 
 
174 STABNOS. 
 
 SELFISHNESS. 
 We must die to selfishness. We must for- 
 get self on the lower plane of being if we 
 would be happy. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 360. 
 
 SOCIETY. 
 
 Societary Harmony is an effect of Individ- 
 ual Harmony. Individual Harmony is an 
 effect of spirit growth in Love, Wisdom, and 
 Liberty. — Beyond the Valley, p. 400. 
 
 SCRIPTURES. 
 
 There are no scriptures more plain, more 
 sacred, more infallible, than the laws of life, 
 of health, and of a progressive experience.— 
 Inner Life, p. 401. 
 
 SYMPATHY. 
 
 Sympathy is compounded of healing love, 
 mercy, and benevolence ; while false charity 
 is a popular mixture containing equal parts 
 of impulsive pity, heartless duty, and cold 
 contempt. — Temple, p. 412. 
 
STARNOS. 175 
 
 STRIFE. 
 
 The " Heavenly KiDgdom " comes in every 
 man's soul when he outgrows strife, selfish- 
 ness, and passion, and steps upon the high 
 table-land of peace, charity, and Wisdom. — 
 Answers to Questions, p. 170. 
 
 SUPERSTITION. 
 
 Knowledge leads us progressively to the 
 summits of immensity, — to the mounts of 
 truth. Ignorance leads into the vales of 
 superstition, — into the deepest pandemonium 
 of doubt and gloom. — Inner Life, p. 42. 
 
 SOCIETIES. 
 
 It is pleasing to behold heavenly societies. 
 I see them at this moment existing in the 
 most perfect degree of brotherly love, and 
 joined inseparably together by constant as- 
 cending and descending affections. — Nat. Div. 
 Rev., p. 652. 
 
176 STAKNOS. 
 
 SABBATH. 
 
 He is the worst Sabbath-breaker who can- 
 not give some portion of every day to com- 
 munion with the interior and spiritual. — Tem- 
 ple, p. 434. 
 
 SOMNAMBULISM. 
 
 Somnambulism is the first demonstration 
 of the independence of the soul. It is clair- 
 voyance undeveloped. — Gt. Har. Vol. 3, 
 p. 241. 
 
 SUPERNATURALISM. 
 
 Human nature is not supernatural, but con- 
 tinues to be human, — outgrowing its errors 
 either slowly or rapidly, in keeping with 
 motives and temperaments. — Death and After 
 Life, p. 61. 
 
 SPHERES. 
 
 The finest particles of all things, not ab- 
 sorbed by this world, go to form a spiritual 
 globe. Like a zone on the inside of the vast 
 Milky- Way is unfolded the Second Sphere.

 TRUTH. 
 
 Truth is one vast Mountain, lifting its head 
 with exalted dignity. It stands unmoved, and 
 will not bow to the caprices of man ; yet man 
 will progress until he reaches its very heights. 
 — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 19. 
 
 TRANQUILITY. 
 
 The twilight hour is the period for tran- 
 quility and religious contemplations. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 2, p. 313. 
 
 When the heavens are tranquil and the 
 vesper star is seen above the clouds, . . . then 
 the mind sees burning thoughts and words so 
 eagle-like that it cannot but be exalted and 
 serene.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 312. 
 
178 STAKNOS. 
 
 THOUGHTS. 
 
 In great and good minds all thoughts are 
 harmonious and meek ; but the thoughts of 
 small minds fret and strut like puppets in a 
 show-man's box. — Penetralia, p. 10. 
 
 TRANQUILITY. 
 
 All spiritual tranquility is founded upon 
 immortal realities. Loveliest and holiest 
 moments are those which lift our souls as the 
 sun and moon lift the waves of the great seas. 
 
 — Beyond the Valley, p. 385. 
 
 TRUTH. 
 
 Whatsoever a man discovers in the eternal 
 universe, it is but a reflection and correspond- 
 ence of that which, germinally, lives within 
 him, thus demonstrating that truth is that 
 Principle in the presence of which nature, 
 reason, and intuition harmonize and agree, 
 and rejoice together as loving angels of God.

STARNOS. 179 
 
 THOUGHT. 
 
 The influence of pure thought is like the 
 breath of heaven upon flowers ; while low 
 thoughts fall like the vapors of pestilence. 
 They blast the beautiful like shafts of light- 
 ning. — Answers to Questions, p. 97. 
 
 TRUTH. 
 
 That mind which loves truth more than 
 any other thing is clothed in the Armor of 
 Heaven ; and that mind which comprehends 
 truth is intimately allied to God, being well 
 nigh omnipotent. — Inner Life, p. 42. 
 
 TEMPERANCE. 
 
 All excess is vicious. He who wishes to 
 bless himself, the world by example, and 
 posterity by the transmission of healthy quali- 
 ties and noble characteristics, should be tem- 
 perate in all things. The luxury of health 
 is superior to the luxury of any habit. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 4, p. 153. 
 
180 STAKNOS. 
 
 THOUGHT. 
 
 Earth can forge no chains whereby to fettep 
 human thought. — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 255.

 Temperance in all things is the onjy 
 "straight and narrow way" that leads to the 
 heaven of mental happiness. — Gt. Har. Vol. 
 2, p. 326. 
 
 TRUTH. 
 
 Churches, sects, creeds, — what atoms they 
 appear! How immense is God, — rather, I 
 would say, how omnipresent and omnipotent 
 is intelligent and loving truth. — Gt. Har. 
 Vol. 4, p. 287. 
 
 THINKERS. 
 
 A whole mind is in tune with Nature ; a 
 harmonious mind is in tune with Reason; a 
 spiritual mind is in tune with Intuition ; and 
 such, in the true definition, is a harmonial 
 Thinker.— Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 32. 
 
STABNOS. 181 
 
 TRUTH. 
 
 Truth is exactitude and completeness of 
 representation. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 183.

 The tides of Truth will continue to rise 
 higher and higher, and will increase in 
 strength and majesty as they roll forward. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 149. 
 
 THOUGHTS. 
 
 Thoughts are but Ideas in motion, and they 
 differ from the essence which is moved as 
 much and widely as waves differ from the 
 water beneath them. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 62. 
 
 TEMPERANCE. 
 
 " Temperance in all things " giveth into 
 man's possession the whole universe, whereby 
 his soul is saved and not lost. The healthy 
 soul enjoyeth all things. — Gt. Har, Vol. 5,

 of heaven, is positive and imperishable, — 
 Answers to Questions, p. 370. 
 
 TOMORROW. 
 
 Your progress and future happiness depend 
 wholly upon the use you make of the eternal 
 Now. . . . We must be right in heart and 
 head today in order to secure a happy tomor- 
 row,— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 362. 
 
STARNOS. 183 
 
 TRUTHS. 
 
 Truths that are unsought, or sought for 
 their own sake, are pure and elevating to the 
 aspiring soul. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 240.

 The Laws of Nature, which are God's 
 Thoughts, never cease to guide, guard, pro- 
 tect, and exercise justice. — Gt. Har. Vol. 1,

 TYPES. 
 
 If you desire mental improvement, then 
 improve jour mental types and symbols.

 as tools, with which to think. — Penetralia, 
 p. 442. 
 
 TESTIMONY. 
 
 Beware of superficial testimony, external 
 appearances, visible, tangible, sensuous evi- 
 dences, because such are invariably liable to 
 deceive, and are ofttimes unrighteous. — Nat.

 is precious wherever found, . . . and perfect 
 love for truth casteth out all fear of error. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 396. 
 
 TONES. 
 
 Tones which vibrate within, upon the spir- 
 its' living chords, are echoed throughout the

 in sound to soothe or to disturb. — Gt. Har.

 TIME. 
 
 Time is a fine comb, and Progress is the 
 strong iron hand that grasps it, — drawing it 
 through all parts of the head of humanity ; 
 and it will comb it clean ! — Thoughts on 
 Religion, p. 615. 
 
 THEOLOGIANS. 
 
 In order that a man may be properly 
 termed a theologian, he should take his text 
 in the universal book of Nature ; and his 
 sanctuary should be the expanded earth and 
 the unfolded heavens. — Nat. Div. Rev., p. 
 507. 
 
 TEMPLE. 
 
 We have only as yet entered the vestibule 
 that introduces the mind into the great Tem- 
 ple of divine Truth, whose foundation is in 
 the depths of the universe, whose immensity 
 fills all space, and whose aspiring domes are 
 lost in the heights of infinity. — Nat. Div. 
 Rev., p. 665. 
 
186 STARKOS. 
 
 TEMrTATION. 
 
 A man must feel, as well as know, that it 
 is wrong to commit certain crimes before he 
 experiences the ability to withstand tempta- 
 tion.— Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 173. 
 
 TRUTHFULNESS. 
 
 So far as one's self-hood is involved, it 
 is of the holiest importance that the idea 
 "absolute truthfulness " should be the sole 
 effort and perpetual prayer. — Gt. Har. Vol. 
 5, p. 109.

 UNITY. 
 
 The sea is not more true to its tide than is

 The ultimate Use of Nature is to individu-

 UNSELFISHNESS. 
 
 Live to make others better, and you will 
 make yourself rounder, sweeter, more effect-

 UNFOLDMENT. 
 
 Just in proportion as we unfold the sensi-

 cordant elements of our being into a musically 
 harmonious order, will the joy, and light, and

 convert us more completely into the heavenly 
 image.— Gt. Har. Vol. 3, p. 216.

 Nothing which manifests life and anima- 
 tion is without functions ; and there is noth- 
 ing which is not impregnated with the Eternal 
 Spirit of all life and vitality. — Gt. liar. 
 Vol. 2, p. 303. 
 
 VIRTUE. 
 
 Be natural, thoroughly honest, and full of 
 integrity; then virtue's influence will always 
 flow out from you, healing the spirits of those 
 who are crushed by misfortune and sorrow. 
 — Hist, and Phil, of Evil, p. 234. 
 
STARNOS. 193 
 
 VIRTUOUSNESS. 
 
 Really true and really virtuous people have 
 the least to say about either their truthfulness 
 or their integrity. — Temple, p. 443» 
 
 VENERATION. 
 
 Raise your thoughts to Him whose essence 
 is love, and whose wisdom is universal justice, 
 benevolence, and reciprocation. — Nat. Div. 
 Rev., p. 707. 
 
 VARIETY. 
 
 Intrinsically and essentially there is no dif- 
 ference between human beings. All visible 
 inequality and variety arise from different 
 combinations of the same powers and attri- 
 butes. — Har. Man, p. 154. 
 
 VISITANTS. 
 
 The sweet, mournful tones of the aeolian 
 harp, when breathed upon by the midnight 
 wind, sound not more attractive and holy than 
 do the whisperings of gentle visitants from 
 other spheres. — Answers to Questions, p. 57.

 WANDERING. 
 
 He who searches Nature searches the gos- 
 pel of God ; while he who wanders from the 
 laws and harmonies of Nature wanders from 
 the paths and joys of the Infinite. — Inner 
 Life, p. 44. 
 
 WISDOM. 
 
 The true Savior ... is Wisdom, the em- 
 bodiment and image of universal Harmony, 
 and the ever-blooming flower of the Divine 
 Mind.— Gt. Har. Vol. 1, p. 453. 
 
 Wisdom, when worked out in universal 
 society, will be the fullest realization of the 
 " kingdom of heaven and its righteousness " 
 ever prayed for or anticipated by Man. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 1, p. 454. 
 
stakstos. 195 
 
 WISDOM. 
 
 Wisdom is greater than knowledge. The 
 former discerns interior truths ; the latter 
 gathers external facts. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 417. 
 
 The best preventive of superstition is Wis- 
 dom. If jou would become acquainted with 
 your only Savior, and have anxiety to fall 
 affectionately and confidingly at his feet, go 
 into the presence of Wisdom. The most 
 radiant angel in the chamber of the soul is 
 Wisdom. His glory gleams through the in- 
 finite Palace of Truth. His young, unimpas- 
 sioned bosom burns only with the immortal 
 fires of love divine, and the voice of his words 
 blends with the star-cadence of immensity, 
 the bewildering music whereof surmounts the 
 ever-upswelling crests of the eternal ocean of 
 Principles, and fills the hushed and listening 
 universe of intelligence with joy and hope and 
 aspirations unutterable. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, 
 p. 124. 
 
196 STARNOS. 
 
 WOMAN. 
 
 Woman will inevitably develop the world. 
 — Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 187. 
 
 The female spirit is a beautiful combina- 
 tion of immortal springs and affections. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 2, p. 186. 
 
 Woman builds the foundation walls of 
 society, . . . therefore she needs to be edu- 
 cated in the peculiarities of her position. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 193. 
 
 The harmonious proportions of humanity's 
 future structure will depend entirely upon the 
 education and elevation of the female master- 
 builders.— Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 192. 
 
 All the heroes, poets, artists, philosophers, 
 and theologians that ever moved upon the 
 earth were put in possession of their various 
 maxims and attributes mainly by woman. — 
 Gt. Har. Vol. 2, p. 187. 
 
STARNOS. 197 
 
 WORTH. 
 
 All spirit and matter, all objects of thought, 
 all thinking things, are partakers of each 
 other's worth and nature. — Inner Life, p. 145. 
 
 WOMAN. 
 
 Woman wields the Archimedian lever, 
 whose fulcrum is childhood, whose length is 
 all time, whose weight is the world, whose 
 sweep is eternity. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 257. 
 
 WEALTH. 
 
 Human souls will accumulate spiritual sub- 
 stance, obtain the real elements of mental 
 nutrition, in strict harmony with their indi- 
 vidual aspirations. Those who aspire to love 
 will grow spiritually wealthy in love ; those 
 who aspire after knowledge will grow rich in 
 the memory of facts and things ; those who 
 aspire unto Wisdom will increase in the per- 
 ception and enjoyment of Principles and 
 Generalizations. — Gt. Har. Vol. 4, p. 55. 
 
198 STAENOS. 
 
 WAR. 
 
 War is the production of the cellar-kitchen 
 of human nationality and progress. It never 
 comes from the upper chambers in the temple 
 of human growth. — Phil, of Spir. Inter., 
 p. 346. 
 
 WHOLENESS. 
 
 Nature is the Wholeness of all things and 
 principles, the Alpha and Omega, the begin- 
 ning and the end, the substantial and the 
 centrestantial, matter and mind, God clothed 
 and God unclothed, the boundless and inde- 
 structible entireness. — Gt. Har. Vol. 5, p. 31. 
 
 WEAKNESS. 
 
 The man who needs a Church, or the 
 woman who needs a Minister, or the bishop 
 who needs a Bible, or the religionist whose 
 feeble faith needs the bolster of a Miracle, is 
 not born again. Such may have the form — 
 the signs and symbols — but not the spirit of 
 Truth. — Free Thoughts, p. 147. 
 
STARNOS. 199 
 
 WONDERS. 
 
 It is no more wonderful that a man lives 
 after death than that he lives after his birth. 
 — Diakka, p. 92. 
 
 WISDOM. 
 
 Wisdom is the heart's prime minister, — 
 the flower of the inward consciousness. — Gt. 
 Har. Vol. 3, p. 109. 
 
 WEALTH. 
 
 One day material wealth will not be fash- 
 ionable ; but, instead, he will be most popular 
 who is fraternal and harmonious. — Pene- 
 tralia, p. 362. 
 
 WORSHIP. 
 
 True worship is an involuntary act of the 
 inmost affections. . . . Worship of the Su- 
 preme Spirit of the Universe is possible only 
 to those who feel, and are, therefore, power- 
 fully attracted toward the sacred essence of 
 the Infinite Love. — Fountain, p. 162. 
 
2G0 STABNOS. 
 
 WORSHIP. 
 
 The truest family worship is daily effort to 
 establish complete integral unity and happi- 
 ness. — Answers to Questions, p. 114. 
 
 WICKEDNESS. 
 
 The innate divineness of the spirit of man 
 prohibits the possibility of spiritual wicked- 
 ness or unrighteousness. — Nat. Div. Rev., 
 p. 413. 
 
 WORDS. 
 
 God's words are fleeting things to the soul ; 
 to the spirit they impart the imperishable 
 realities of eternal life. — Beyond the Valley, 
 p. 388. 
 
 WILL. 
 
 If you would know the full happiness of the 
 harmonial angels, let your will do only what 
 is requested by your highest affections, and 
 only what is approved by the reflections of 
 your highest Reason. — Heavenly Home, p. 28. 
 
STABNOS. 201 
 
 WISDOM. 
 
 Our Redeemer is Wisdom, whose ways are 
 pleasant; whose paths are peace ; whose heart 
 is Mother nature ; whose bead is Father God ; 
 who saves the whole world with an everlast- 
 ing salvation. Truth, Love, Justice, Wisdom, 
 — each an angel of life, light, and happiness. 
 Let us strive to communicate with them ; let 
 us listen reverently to no other voices ; let us 
 obey no other authorities. — Fountain, p. 231.
