For who would lose,
Though full of pain, this intellectual being,
Those thoughts that wander through eternity,
To perish rather, swallow’d up and lost
In the wide womb of uncreated night,
Devoid of sense and motion? John Milton, Paradise Lost II:146
Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth
Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep. ibid.
They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet
Quaff immortality and joy. ibid. V:637
For spirits that live throughout
Vital in every part, not as frail man,
In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins,
Cannot but by annihilating die. ibid. VI:345
I believe that man will not merely endure, he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. William Faulkner, Nobel prize acceptance speech 1950
He said, ‘We have a very special surprise tonight for you people. A spirit will manifest itself openly here in a few minutes.’ And right through the wall – the lights weren’t terribly bright but they were like living-room lights, a couple of floor lamps – and this translucent Being seemed to come right out of the wall. It’s almost as if my heart stopped a little bit. Very weird feeling. It was a lady in a very beautiful evening gown, floor length, and she said to Mary, ‘My dear sister, you are so wonderful to ask for me’ ... So he said, ‘The supposed spirits of the dead that you’re talking with are in reality demon spirits. Fallen angels. Beautiful spirits ... The Master has very special plans for you two.’ Roger Morneau, interview
He told us that they will promise that if their recommendations are followed, that there will be no more wars and no more famines, they will promise a glorious new age of perfect peace and happiness. Roger Morneau, A Trip Into the Supernatural
Aleister Crowley taught how to establish contact with extraterrestrials, spirits and demons using his black magic ... The aliens that appeared to Crowley could go through walls, appear, disappear, and even inhabit others, in this case Crowley’s wife. Conspiratus, Youtube
Death therefore is nothing to us nor does it concern us a scrap, seeing that the nature of the spirit we possess is something mortal. Lucretius, De Rerum Natura
Spirit of Christmas. How do you do? Blackadder’s Christmas Carol starring Rowan Atkinson & Tony Robinson & Mariam Margoyles & Jim Broadbent & Robbie Coltrane & Miranda Richardson & Stephen Fry et al, director Richard Boden, BBC 1988
It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit. J R R Tolkien
The occult practice of spirit possession is an essential part of Candomble. Unexplained Mysteries, CBS 2003
I am well aware that many will say that no-one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body; and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections. Emanuel Swedenborg
Man was so created by the Lord as to be able while living in the body to speak with spirits and angels, as in fact was done in the most ancient times; for, being a spirit clothed with a body, he is one with them. Emanuel Swedenborg
There is also those things which are called angels. And angels are not disembodied spirits. That’s a different kind of an angel. There are certain angels the Bible implies, and other reference works imply, angels that were created spirit entities and have never been in human form ... The idea that there are disembodied spirits – humans which have died but their spirits live on. Jordan Maxwell, Forbidden Knowledge
The idea of an avatar, or a teacher, has been with us for thousands of years. And it’s true: every time the world is heading into darkness, it seems like God or the divine presence in the universe, moves certain people in their heart to stand up against the darkness and help their fellow man. Jordan Maxwell, lecture The Illuminati
The awful shadow of some unseen Power
Floats though unseen among us, – visiting
The various world with as inconstant wing
As summer winds that creep from flower to flower. Percy Bysshe Shelley, Hymn to Intellectual Beauty, 1816
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things, by a law divine,
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine? Percy Bysshe Shelley, Love’s Philosophy
I stood within the City disinterred;
And heard the autumnal leaves like light footfalls
Of spirits passing through the streets; and heard
The Mountain’s slumberous voice at intervals
Thrill through those roofless halls. Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ode to Naples
Swiftly walk o’er the western wave,
Spirit of Night!
Out of the misty eastern cave,
Where, all the long and lone daylight,
Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear,
Which make thee terrible and dear, –
Swift be thy flight! Percy Bysshe Shelley, To Night
A pardlike Spirit, beautiful and swift –
A Love in desolation masked; – a Power
Girt round with weakness; – it can scarce uplight
The weight of the superincumbent hour;
It is a dying lamp, a falling shower,
A breaking billow; – even whilst we speak
Is it not broken? Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonis st32, 1821
He wakes or sleeps with the enduring dead;
Thou canst not soar where he is sitting now –
Dust to the dust! but the pure spirit shall flow
Back to the burning fountain whence it came,
A portion of the Eternal. ibid. st38
The spirit within nourishes, and mind instilled throughout the living parts activates the whole mass and mingles with the vast frame. Virgil, Aeneid
Mens culusque is est quisque [The spirit is the true self]. Cicero 106-43 B.C.
Spirits overwrought
Were making night go penance for a day
Spent in a round of strenuous idleness. William Wordsworth, The Prelude, 1850
My spirit can no longer bear these harms. William Shakespeare, I Henry VI IV vii 30
Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man. But will they come when you do call for them? William Shakespeare, I Henry IV III i 53
How now, spirit, wither wander you? William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream II i 1, Robin to Fairy
