MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

[Lucifer, Vol. I, No. 5, January, 1888, pp. 406-7, 421-22]

Both the Idealism of Mr. Herbert Spencer, and the Hylo-Idealism of Dr. Lewins are more materialistic and atheistic than any of the honestly declared materialistic views—Büchner’s and Moleschott’s included.

24 A few years—and, who knows? perhaps only few months more, and Protestant England will have reverend scientists explaining to their congregations from the pulpits that Adam and Eve were but the “missing link”—two tailless baboons.

Hence the Spirit of Non-Separateness in esoteric philosophy must be the ONE truth.

[What the Ego is, all is] Only this “Ego” is universal, not individual: Absolute Consciousness, not the human Brain.

[The highest and the lowliest are ever thus akin. . .] Then why not term the philosophy “High-Low-Idealism” vice “Hylo-Idealism”?

[. . . everything being, not so much cleansed of God, as very THEOBROMA, God’s food and nutrient element. . .] “Theobroma”—the same as cacao-butter. We take exception to the phraseology, not to Dr. Lewins’ ideas.
