Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



Every human institution, every human value, gets worn threadbare by use and has to make way for a new one. Even the most sacred and religious authorities lose their sway with the flow of time. When the whole universe around us is so uncertain and unsettled we need not be surprised to discover that the very I of man is transient too. Our centre of gravity is a shifting one.
