Thought is a Force - The blind Force of the people is a Force that must be economized, and also managed, as the blind Force of steam, lifting the ponderous iron arms and turning the large wheels, is made to bore and rifle the cannon and to weave the most delicate lace. It must be regulated by Intellect. - Intellect is to the people and the people's Force, what the slender needle of the compass is to the ship—its soul, always counselling the huge mass of wood and iron, and always pointing to the north. To attack the citadels built up on all sides against the human race by superstitions, despotisms, and prejudices, the Force must have a brain and a law. Then its deeds of daring produce permanent results, and there is real progress. Then there are sublime conquests. - Thought is a force, and philosophy should be an energy, finding its aim and its effects in the amelioration of mankind. The two great motors are Truth and Love. When all these Forces are combined, and guided by the Intellect, and regulated by the RULE of Right, and Justice, and of combined and systematic movement and effort, the great revolution prepared for by the ages will begin to march. The POWER of the Deity is in equilibrium with WISDOM. Hence the only results are HARMONY. _____________________________________________ Art: ‘The Compass Never Settles’ by Marcel Mercado (#MarcelMercado) #ancient #wisdom #mythology #albertpike #moralsanddogma #symbolism #philosophy #religion #apprentice #astrology #numerology #vastu #bhramhavaastu (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJxbfwFyvW/?igshid=qey976jdun1b
