Aldous Huxley Quotes About Grace

Quotes about: Grace

• That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.

  Aldous Huxley

  Blessed, Sleep, Blessing

  Aldous Huxley (2002). “Complete Essays: 1939-1956”, Ivan R Dee

• Good action and thoughts produce consequences which tend to neutralize, or put a stop to, the result of evil thoughts and actions. For as we give up the life of self (and note that, like forgiveness, repentance and humility are also special cases of giving), as we abandon what the German mystics called "the I, me, mine," we make ourselves progressively capable of receiving grace. By grace we are enabled to know reality more completely, and this knowledge of reality helps us to give up more of the life of selfhood - and so on, in a mounting spiral of illumination and regeneration.

  Giving Up, Humility, Reality

• The present moment is the only aperture through which the soul can pass out of time into eternity, through which grace can pass out of eternity into the soul, and through which love can pass from one soul in time to another soul in time.

  Aldous Huxley

  Meditation, Grace, Soul

• Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it. If we fail to do our share, but rather choose to rely on self-will and self-direction, we shall not only get no help from the graces bestowed on us, we shall actually make it impossible for further graces to be given.

  Aldous Huxley

  Self, Grace, Helping

  Aldous Huxley, Huston Smith (2013). “The Divine Within: Selected Writings on Enlightenment”, p.17, Harper Collins

• The poet is born with the capacity of arranging words in such a way that something of the quality of the graces and inspirations he has received can make itself felt to other human beings in the white spaces, so to speak, between the lines of his verse. This is a great and precious gift; but if the poet remains content with his gift, if he persists in worshipping the beauty in art and nature without going on to make himself capable, through selflessness, of apprehending Beauty as it is in the divine Ground, then he is only an idolater.

  Aldous Huxley

  Art, Inspiration, White

• Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it.

  Aldous Huxley

  Aldous Huxley, Huston Smith (2013). “The Divine Within: Selected Writings on Enlightenment”, p.17, Harper Collins
