  ”It is said that he advised his disciples that every time they went into their own house say the following: 'Where did I trespass? What did I achieve? And what duties did I leave unfulfilled?'”

    - - Dodecahedron
        'In geometry, the only regular polyhedra are called "the Platonic solids". They are five in number: the tetrahedron (which has four exactly equal faces), the cube (six faces), the octahedron (eight faces), the dodecahedron (twelve faces) and the icosahedron (twenty faces). Rightly they should be called "the Pythagorean solids", since Plato had learned about them in Pythagoras' school. If you add to these five the point as the beginning and the globe as the end, you get the number seven. The order is then: (1) the point, (2) the tetrahedron, (3) the cube, (4) the octahedron, (5) the dodecahedron, (6) the icosahedron and (7) the globe. The point stands for the one in each series of seven or the beginning of the manifestation, the globe for the seven or the completion of the manifestation; in our solar system the point represent the manifest world (world 43), the globe represent the physical world (world 49).'

        ‘ Laws of nature concern matter and motion, and laws of life concern the consciousness aspect.‘ ‘The laws of life most important to mankind are the laws of freedom, unity, development, self (self-realization), destiny, reaping, and activation.‘ ‘Those most important for the individual are: the laws of freedom, unity, self, and activation - especially the first two.‘ ‘The laws of life make possible the greatest possible freedom and unerring justice for all. Freedom, or power, is the individual’s divine, inalienable right. It is acquired through knowledge of the Law and through unfailing application of the laws. Freedom (power) and law are the conditions of each other. Development implies purposefully applied activity in accordance with the Law. Otherwise the cosmos would degenerate into chaos.’

        ‘The esoterician has once and for all left the world of illusions and fictions, which mankind prefers living in, to enter into the world of reality.’
        K 1.43.6 ‘The mystic thinks that man’s reason cannot explain existence, which, it is true, it cannot. The esoterician knows this, but then is not content with the ability of human reason to ascertain superphysical facts, but seeks that higher reason which can achieve contact with the Platonic world of ideas. Until then, he will accept no other superphysical facts than those from the planetary hierarchy. Proof that ‘facts’ really are facts he gets from their having their given places in the Pythagorean hylozoic mental system, and their being the simplest and most general explanations of previously inexplicable realities.’
        K 3.6.5
        ‘On the whole it can be said that in the conditions prevailing at the present time, true esotericians do not join any societies, but are to be found outside all kinds of organizations. They can be recognized by their understanding of all things human, and they strive after truly human relations between all irrespectively of race, nationality, sex, religion, politics, and all other things that separate man from man.’

        A cosmos is a globe in primordial matter, which consists of primordial atoms.
        ‘Its original dimensions are small, but, being supplied with primordial atoms from the inexhaustible store of primordial matter, it grows incessantly until it has reached the requisite size.’
        ‘A fully built-out cosmos, such as ours, consists of a continuous series of material worlds of different degrees of density, the higher penetrating all lower. The highest world thus penetrates everything in the cosmos.
        ‘The worlds are built out from the highest world, each higher world supplying material for the next lower world, which is formed in and out of the higher ones.
        ‘There are seven series of seven cosmic material worlds, making 49 in all (1–7, 8–14, 15–21, 22–28, 29–35, 36–42, 43–49), in accordance with the constant division into seven departments. These atomic worlds occupy the same space in the cosmos. All the higher worlds embrace and penetrate the lower worlds.’
        ‘All the 49 worlds differ from each other as to dimension, duration, material composition, motion, and consciousness; due to differences in density of primordial atoms.
        ‘The seven lowest cosmic worlds (43-49) contain billions of solar systems. The lowest world (49) is the physical world.
        ‘Our cosmos is a perfect organization.’

        'The life view concerns the consciousness aspect of existence and is the sum total of man's attitude to life, to its meaning and goal, and his view of mankind and man’s ways.'
        'It is from his life view that man derives the bases of his valuations, his viewpoints for judgement, motives for action. The life view includes the conception of right and what is contained in the concept of culture.' P 3.1.1f
        The esoteric life view presented in P 'is termed esoteric since it is based on the esoteric world view and on esoteric facts about the goal of life. There is no such life view that suits all on all levels of development. What in common to them all is the knowledge of the laws of life, which everybody applies according to his understanding of life.' P 3.1.5
        'All who have reached the stages of culture and humanity, have emphasized that in one’s attitude to all people, universal good will and right human relations are the essential thing. We must learn to discard all pretexts for friction, not only tolerate but rejoice in the individual (and independent!) conceptions of all as proof of their own judgement at their level.' K 5.44.2

Every consciousness manifestation has an effect in manifold ways and entails either good or bad sowing which will ripen and be reaped some time.' K 1.41.13
        'If man lives in accordance with the laws of life, his development will progress as rapidly as possibly, without friction, harmoniously, with the greatest possible degree of happiness. But every mistake as to the laws of life (known or unknown ones) entails consequences calculated eventually (the number of incarnations is up to him) to teach the individual to discover the laws and apply them correctly. If he has caused suffering to other beings, he is himself to experience the same measure of suffering. This is the law of uncompromising justice which no arbitrary grace can free him from.
        'It is part of man’s dharma that he must do all he can to reduce the suffering in the world, for all beings and in all circumstances. Those who refuse to help when they can, are guilty of an omission that has consequences and by no means the least ones.
        'The Brahmins’ conception of karma as being inevitable destiny, that one ‘stands in the way of karma’ by trying to relieve suffering and distress, is evidence of fatal ignorance of life. Nobody can ‘stand in the way’ of a law. If anyone is to suffer, no power in the world can prevent that.
