Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



If we seek to become philosophical it is not at all necessary to lose practicality and ignore actuality. We ought to become sufficiently equilibrated to create conditions, make things, and devise arrangements which are visible here and serviceable now. This should not stop us from mentally training ourselves to follow abstract ideas or metaphysical systems by which lofty levels are attained.
