[Thursday October 15] Swedenborg (1688-1772, Sweden): primary subject "Self-reflection" (search under Inner Life/Practices)": source "Spiritual Experiences, vol.2": detail "Section 1903 - 1905"
Without reflection there is no life.
[Wednesday October 14] Kempis, Thomas à (1380-1471, Germany): primary subject "Life, as an exile" (search under Outer Life/Culture, Life, Society)": source "Imitation of Christ": detail "From Book 2, Chapter 1"
You should look upon this earthly scene only as a transit-camp. Transient, all created things, and you as much as the rest of them; cling to them, and you will get caught up in them, and be lost.
[Tuesday October 13] Osho (Rajneesh) (1931-1990, India): primary subject "Body, relation to spirit" (search under Outer Life/Body)"
Remember, you can know the formless only if you know the form. You can know non-matter only if you know matter. You can be connected with the soul only if you know the body. Someone who opposes the visible is actually cutting down the ladder that can take him to the invisible, which is totally unknown to him. But the visible—form, life, matter, the body, and the world—has been condemned out of all proportion.
[Monday October 12] St. John of the Cross (1542-1591, Spain): primary subject "Visions, locutions" (search under Beings/Other Beings)": source "Cosmic Consciousness"
God is always in man. It is as if He slept in the soul. If He wakes up only once in a man's whole life the experience of that instant affects the whole of life; and if the experience of that instant should be indefinitely prolonged, what soul could bear it?
[Sunday October 11] Anonymous: primary subject "God, as love" (search under Beings/God)"
I, Spirit, deny none of My children,
Such is not My Nature.
Ever waiting, above forgiveness,
I pour Myself in through the opened doors.
[Saturday October 10] Thurman, Robert (b. 1941-, USA): primary subject "Happiness, blessedness, joy, bliss" (search under Inner Life/Love, Positive Emotion, Virtue, Will)"
It is ironic but no less true: It is the very desire for your own happiness that produces your ceaseless unhappiness.
