Sivu 221 - ... In time some particular train of ideas fixes the attention, all other intellectual gratifications are rejected, the mind, in weariness or leisure recurs constantly to the favourite conception, and feasts on the luscious falsehood whenever she is offended with the bitterness of truth. By degrees the reign of fancy is confirmed ; she grows first imperious, and in time despotic. Then fictions begin to operate as realities, false opinions fasten upon the mind, and life passes in dreams of rapture...
Sivu 206 - You ask, how can we know the Infinite? I answer, not by reason. It is the office of reason to distinguish and define. The Infinite, therefore, cannot be ranked among its objects. You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty superior to reason, by entering into a state in which you are your finite self no longer - in which the divine essence is communicated to you.
Sivu xxii - ... but there was no connection between them. I have no theory to explain these things. I have tried to find out how they are done, but the more I studied them, the more satisfied was I that they could not be explained by mere mechanical trick.

Sivu 207 - ... that love and those prayers by which some devout and ardent soul tends in its moral purity towards perfection. These are the great highways conducting to that height above the actual and the particular, where we stand in the immediate presence of the Infinite...
Sivu 204 - But does not purification consist in this, as was said in a former part of our discourse, in separating as much as possible the soul from the body, and in accustoming it to gather and collect itself by itself on all sides apart from the body, and to dwell, so far as it can, both now and hereafter, alone by itself, delivered, as it were, from the shackles of the body?" "Certainly," he replied. 33. "Is this, then, called death, this deliverance and separation of the soul from the body?" "Assuredly,
Sivu 218 - This shows that those who do not enter it in one or two sittings must do something to prevent it. " Many persons have entered the state in the above manner, who could not do so in any other, although repeated trials had been made to effect it.
Sivu xxix - The great majority of them, though often seen suspended, were at heights from the ground described only as "a palm," half a cubit, a cubit, and thence up to five or six cubits, or, in a few cases, ells. But the Princess Agnes and the Abbess Coleta were, like Elijah, carried out of sight, or into the clouds; and Peter of Alcantara and Joseph of Cupertino to the ceilings of lofty buildings. The times that these and others were watched off the ground often exceeded an hour; and the Archbishop of Valencia...
Sivu 206 - The world of ideas lies within our intelligence. Truth, therefore, is not the agreement of our apprehension of an external object with the object itself. It is the agreement of the mind with itself. Consciousness, therefore, is the sole basis of certainty.
Sivu 217 - ... or not — sometimes only one sense is affected during the first sitting. If the attention of the subject is divided, the difficulty of entering the state perfectly is much increased, and the powers of each sense while in this state will be in proportion as that division has been much or little.
Sivu xxxviii - God was possessed of form, or, was to be seen by the yogee ; that he is placable, glorious, the creator, preserver, and the regenerator of all things; that the universe first arose from his will or command, and that he infused into the system a power of perpetual progression : that the truth of things was discoverable by the senses, by experience, comparison, and revelation ; that some material things were unchangeable, and others changeable; and that the latter pass through six changes, as birth,...
