The Temple of Man pt 1

by R.A. Scwaller de Lubicz

there are just notes I jot down that I think are interesting.

p15
The mineral has suffered the scission from the cause
the plant has suffered the neral
the animal has suffered the the plant
man has suffered the animal
cosmic man will have suffered humanity
Vital suffering is consciousness undergoing the process of surpassing itself. Genisis is the expansion of Consciousness.

Believeing, learning andknowing are the 3 gates of entry into the temple

Nothing is more vain than being concerned withthe historical aspect of Reality

If this way of speaking about knowledge no longer corrisponds to the requirements of consciousness today it is not at all certain that it had more purpose to past humaity, which is alleged to have been more infantile; demanding immages and abjectifialbe in conformity with its childish condition..... if this way of presenting knowledge , making it enchanting through miracles did not on the contrary keep humaity at an infirior level, if it did not make humanity stupid, insted of raising it up as the revelation of the redeeming Divine Power should and could have.

The gestation of christian revelation has been interrupted

historicims leads to idolity -- to true paganism and to the revolt of those consciousness who apire to light.

the diophantine trigangle 2:4:5 demonstrates symbol.. and evokes a function that is universal and infavriable it is through this that its sacred... not as a geometric figure.

The universe is nothing but consciousness and in its apprearance nothing but an evolution of consciousness from beginning to end, the end being a return to its cause.

Psychological consciousness misleads us. It generates preconceptionas by the very fact of the limits of our preconceptions, not because this perception is limited in itself, but because we cerebrally frame it into an intellectual deffinition.

... we are limited because of this ... proof of this is given when the cerebral presance is asleep and the sensetivity awake as in the state of hypnoses or somnambulism.
