To Theosophy
The First Logos - Ain Soph
Ain Soph
(Hebrew)
The
“Boundless” or Limitless; Deity emanating and extending.
Ain Soph is
also written En Soph and Ain Suph, no one, not even Rabbis, being sure of their
vowels. In the religious metaphysics of the old Hebrew philosophers, the ONE
Principle was an abstraction, like Parabrahmam, though modern Kabbalists have
succeeded now, by dint of mere sophistry and paradoxes, in making a “Supreme
God” of it and nothing higher. But with the early Chaldean Kabbalists Ain Soph
is “without form or being”, having “no likeness with anything else” (Franck,
Die Kabbala, p. 126). That Ain Soph has never been considered as the “Creator”
is proved by even such an orthodox Jew as Philo calling the “Creator” the
Logos, who stands next the “Limitless One”, and the “Second God”. “The Second
God is its (Ain Soph’s) wisdom”, says Philo (Quaest. et
Solut.). Deity is NO-THING; it is nameless, and therefore called Ain Soph; the
word Ain meaning NOTHING.

The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 100
It is only by the
attractive force of the contrasts that the two opposites — Spirit and Matter — can be cemented together on
Earth, and, smelted in the fire of self-conscious experience and suffering, find
themselves wedded in Eternity.
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 108
It is the motive, and
the motive alone, which makes any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is
impossible to employ spiritual forces if there is the slightest tinge of
selfishness remaining in the operator .... The powers and forces of animal
nature can equally be used by the selfish and revengeful, as by the unselfish
and the all-forgiving; the powers and forces of spirit lend themselves only to the
perfectly pure in heart — and this is Divine Magic.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 1, Page 36
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 3, Page 14
Even ignorance
is better than Head-learning with no Soul-wisdom to illuminate and guide it.

The Secret Doctrine , Volume 1, Page 134
Oaths will never be binding till each man will fully understand that
humanity is the highest manifestation on earth of the Unseen Supreme Deity, and
each man anincarnation of
his God; and when the sense of personal responsibility will be so developed in him
that he will consider forswearing the greatest possible insult to himself, as
well as to humanity. No oath is now binding, unless taken by one who, without
any oath at all, would solemnly keep his simple promise of honour.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 2, Page 374
It is the motive, and the motive alone, which makes any exercise of power
become black,
malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is impossible to employ spiritual

Isis Unveiled,
Volume 1, Page 36
From strength to strength, from the beauty and perfection of one plane to
the greater beauty
and perfection of another, with accessions of new glory, of fresh knowledge and
power in each cycle, such is the destiny of every Ego, which thus becomes its own
saviour in each world and incarnation.

The mind receives indelible impressions even from chance acquaintance or
persons encountered but
once. As a few seconds' exposure of the sensitized photographic plate is all
that is requisite to preserve indefinitely the image of the sitter, so is it
with the mind.
