The Symbolism of Freemasonry In short, the mineral monad is one—the higher animal and human monads are countless. Five Years of Theosophy I do not know whether there be nothingness, or existence without space and time; perhaps some midplanetary wind carries the spiritual monad from star to star to implant it in an ever-renewing existence. Without Dogma Whoever deprives the monad of activity falls into the error of Spinoza; whoever takes away its passivity or matter falls into the opposite error, for he deifies individual beings. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Small as he is, the monad contains all the powers and possibilities needful to his evolution into a German philosopher of the first class —altogether a very capable little fellow. The Devil's Dictionary It is standard of chemical equivalents or combining weights, and also of valence, being the typical monad. The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary Section F, G and H To the liberated spiritual monad of man, or to the Dhyan Chohans, every thing that is material in every condition of matter is an object of perception. Five Years of Theosophy Within the records of the earliest religions of Ethiopia or Arabia, Chaldea, Assyria, and Babylonia, is revealed the same monad principle in the Deity. The God-Idea of the Ancients or Sex in Religion The monad develops its representations out of itself, from the germs which form its nature. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time According to Leibnitz, as nearly as he seems willing to be understood, the monad has body without bulk, and mind without manifestation—Leibnitz knows him by the innate power of considering. The Devil's Dictionary As it is with the human soul, which sympathizes with all the varying states of nature--which mirrors the universe--so it is with the monads universally. Life: Its True Genesis Therefore, it may be as well to pass on to— Question V.—About the mineral monad. Five Years of Theosophy Without doubt this triad represents a monad Deity similar in character to the one observed in Egypt and other countries. The God-Idea of the Ancients or Sex in Religion If there are no soulless bodies, there are also no bodiless souls; the soul is always joined with an aggregate of subordinate monads, though not always with the same ones. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time He has founded upon him a theory of the universe, which the creature bears without resentment, for the monad is a gentleman. The Devil's Dictionary Had he really done this, he would have broken at a blow the unity of the Leibnitzian monad, and conquered the science of Aesthetic. Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic The term "monad" applies to the latent life in the mineral as much as it does to the life in the vegetable and the animal. Five Years of Theosophy Every monad is subject to a multitude of affections and relations, although without parts. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 The monad mirrors mirrors—where is the thing that is mirrored? History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The motive is always the same; the monad has but one law: all truths are but the variation of one single truth. Amiel's Journal Accordingly elements have been classed as monads, dyads, triads, etc. Scientific American Supplement, No. 324, March 18, 1882 What relation does the monad bear to the atom? Five Years of Theosophy And the action of the internal principle which causes change in the monad, or a passing from one perception to another, is Appetition. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 This matter, as a constituent of the monad, does not mean corporeality, but only the ground for the arrest of its activity. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Its independence must be a mobile and increasing quantity between zero and the infinite, without ever reaching either completeness or nullity, for the monad can be neither absolutely passive nor entirely free. Amiel's Journal Who believes in the soul as a monad? Youth and Egolatry Physically or constitutionally the mineral monad differs, of course, from that of the human monad, which is neither physical, nor can its constitution be rendered by chemical symbols and elements. Five Years of Theosophy The monads which are destined to become human souls have existed from the beginning in organic matter, but only as sentient or animal souls, without reason. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 If perception rises into conscious feeling, accompanied by memory, then the monad deserves the name of soul. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time For a monad, which is the virtual universe, a whole infinite of time is not too much to develop the infinite within it. Amiel's Journal As in the droplet monad swallows monad, so in the vast of Space do spheres consume each other. In Ghostly Japan Leibnitz called them monads and modern scientists call them bioplasms or some such name, but the Vedanta philosophers describe them as subtle bodies. Five Lectures on Reincarnation Moreover, the monad, though uninfluenced from without, is changing continually; the change proceeds from an internal principle. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 All monads are self-active or act spontaneously, but only the thinking ones are free. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time To be a conscious monad—a nothing which knows itself to be the microscopic phantom of the universe: this is all we can ever attain to. Amiel's Journal Of the number of monads, willing to undertake the pilgrimage, only a few of those within the kinetic belt of the manasic globe have reached the pranic. Ancient and Modern Physics You have your metempsychosis, and your theories of progressive incarnation, and your monads, and your spirits of the stars and flowers. Yeast: a Problem Each monad, according to Leibnitz, is, properly speaking, a soul, inasmuch as each is endowed with perception. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 The monads which constitute the body are the first and direct object of the soul; it perceives them more distinctly than it perceives, through them, the rest of the external world. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time It takes no interest in the individual self, but only in the specimen monad, the sample of the general history of mind. Amiel's Journal As the monad and the centre of a circle are images from their simplicity of this greatest of principles, so likewise do they perspicuously shadow forth to us its causal comprehension of all things. Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato A still more remarkable phenomenon is that kind of multiplication which is preceded by the union of two monads, by a process which is termed conjugation. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays The monads completely fill the world; there is never and nowhere a void, and never complete inanimateness and inertness. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 It appears least in contradiction with the other principles of the philosopher to assign the rôle of this vinculum substantiate to the soul or central monad itself. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time It is not necessary to live, but it is necessary to preserve one's type unharmed, to remain faithful to one's idea, to protect one's monad against alteration and degradation. Amiel's Journal For all number may be considered as subsisting occultly in the monad, and the circle in the centre; this occult being the same in each with causal subsistence. Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato Nevertheless, this complex animal multiplies by division, as the monad does, and, like the monad, undergoes conjugation. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays The naked monad, he says, has perceptions without relief, or "enhanced flavor"; it is in a state of stupor. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 The immortality of man, conformably to his superior dignity, differs from the continued existence of all monads, in that after his death he retains memory and the consciousness of his moral personality. %3. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time And for us, individual atoms, seeing monads, we appropriate a momentary consciousness of the whole and the unchangeable, and then we disappear. Amiel's Journal From these dazzling summits, these ineffable blossoms, these divine propagations, we next see being, life, intellect, soul, nature and body depending; monads suspended from unities, deified natures proceeding from deities. Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato And, as a matter of fact, by patient watching of the place at which these infinitesimal living particles were discharged, our observers assured themselves of their growth and development into new monads. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays There can be no monad without matter, that is, without society, and no soul without a body. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 Lowest stand the simple or naked monads, which never rise above obscure and unconscious perception and, so to speak, pass their lives in a swoon or sleep. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time In other words, the central monad isolates itself from all the subordinate monads, that it may consider them, and finds its harmony again in itself. Amiel's Journal And lastly, all these great monads are comprehended in the first one, from which both they and all their depending series are unfolded into light. Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato Two long cilia protrude through the cell-wall, and effect the rapid locomotion of this "monad," which, in all respects except its mobility, is characteristically a plant. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays And monads must differ one from another, or there would be no changes in our experience; since all that takes place in compound bodies is derived from the simples which compose them. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 What now is the manifold, which is expressed, perceived, or represented, in the unit, the monad? History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The question is, can the thinking monad return into its envelope, that is to say, into pure spontaneity, or even into the dark abyss of virtuality? Amiel's Journal Hence this first one is truly the unity of unities, the monad of monads, the principle of principles, the God of gods, one and all things, and yet one prior to all. Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato And if this were not sufficient evidence of the animality of Colpoda, there comes the fact that it is even more similar to another well-known animalcule, Paramoecium, than it is to a monad. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays But in order to distinguish those which have only perception from those which have also sentiment and memory, he will call the latter souls, the former monads or entelechies. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 All monads represent the same universe; each one mirrors it differently. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Only one must admit exterior actions and influences which affect the evolution of the monad. Amiel's Journal Prior to these, however, she sees those divine monads, from which all intellectual multitudes receive their unions. Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato We cannot comprehend how the number theory will account for the production of corporeal magnitude any easier than we can identify monads with mathematical points. The Old Roman World, : the Grandeur and Failure of Its Civilization. The different organs and members of the body are also relatively souls which collect around them a number of monads for a specific purpose, and so on ad infinitum. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 Single monads are constantly passing into its body, or into its service, while others are passing out; it is involved in a continuous process of bodily transformation. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Thus he would not object to relationship with a tailless catarrhine anthropoid ape, descended from a monad or a primal ascidian. The Kasidah of Haji Abdu El-Yezdi He does not even spare the venerable old universe in his eulogies—as though it were only now and henceforward sufficiently sanctified by praise to revolve around the central monad David Strauss. Thoughts out of Season Part I From the monad and the duad proceed numbers, and from numbers signs, and from these lines, of which plain figures consist. The Old Roman World, : the Grandeur and Failure of Its Civilization. The connection between monads, consequently the connection between soul and body, is not composition, but an organic relation,—in some sort, a spontaneous relation. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 08, June 1858 Thus two lines of thought combine in the concept of the monad. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Yet, such a bulk, when compared to the universe, is less than a monad. Town and Country; or, life at home and abroad, without and within us From this monad higher forms of animal life were produced, and the course of development was continued till it finally culminated in man. Story of Creation as Told By Theology and By Science Let it be permitted to designate by this expression the belief which regards the soul as something indestructible, eternal, indivisible, as a monad, as an atomon: this belief ought to be expelled from science! Beyond Good and Evil Thus, then, were constructed the monads, which were to form the elements of the universe, the active force of which consists in representation, the effects of this force being thus entirely confined to themselves. The Critique of Pure Reason Gratefully recognizing the suggestions from both sides, Leibnitz called Cartesianism the antechamber of the true philosophy, and atomism the preparation for the theory of monads. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time And yet we have not reached the monad. Town and Country; or, life at home and abroad, without and within us According to his view the simplest form of animal life, the "monad," was spontaneously developed by some unknown process. Story of Creation as Told By Theology and By Science The word pentad at once recalls to you the way in which the chemist speaks of a monad, triad, heptad, when he deals with elements. An Introduction to Yoga Perhaps these two atoms, or essences, or monads indestructible, did but repeat an adventure, or many, many adventures. Love Eternal These obscure states of unconscious representation, which are present in the mind of man along with states of clear consciousness, make up, in the lowest grade of existence, the whole life of the monad. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time There are all grades of beings, from the monad to the highest intelligences, and man occupies his position in the endless chain. Town and Country; or, life at home and abroad, without and within us An element having a valence of one is a monad; of two, a dyad; three, a triad; four, tetrad; five, pentad; six, hexad, etc. An Introduction to Chemical Science Some elements are related to it in one way only, and are called monads; others are related in two ways, and are called duads, and so on. An Introduction to Yoga How 90:3 were the loaves and fishes multiplied on the shores of Galilee, - and that, too, without meal or monad from which loaf or fish could come? Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures The dominant monad is distinguished from those which surround it as its body by the greater distinctness of its ideas. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The movements of the monad now appeal to him in a way that was impossible under the old conceptions. Wild Flowers An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their Insect Visitors Hg is either a monad or a dyad. An Introduction to Chemical Science Genius watches the monad through all his masks as he performs the metempsychosis of nature. Essays — First Series Organization is the cause, and life and sensation are the effects; I need no spiritual monad to account for effects since I am in possession of the cause. The Ancient Regime The connection and the order of the world demands a material element in the monad, but happiness without alloy can never be the lot of a spirit joined to a body. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Was the world fashioned and furnished with aqueous and atmospheric adjuncts with a view to the requirements of the infant monad, and to his due development? God the Known and God the Unknown No regiment or battalion now is; mere simmering monads, this fine Army; officers doing their utmost to cobble it into something of rank, without regard to regiments or qualities. History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 18 The parent monad form might perfectly well survive unaltered and fitted for its simple conditions, whilst the offspring of this very monad might become fitted for more complex conditions. Life and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2 The words monovalent, divalent, trivalent, tretrava-lent, etc., were coined to express this most important fact, and the various elements came to be known as monads, diads, triads, etc. A History of Science — Volume 4 Through the combination of both determinations we gain information concerning the kind of force or activity which constitutes the being of the monad: the monads are representative forces. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time For it may be doubted whether the monads are not as truly seminal in character as the procreative matter from which all animals spring. God the Known and God the Unknown To these monads he ascribed numberless qualities by which every phase of nature may be accounted. A History of Science — Volume 2 How could a complex organisation profit a monad? if it did not profit it there would be no advance. Life and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2 That the monad was the beginning of everything. A History of Science — Volume 1 In discussing the representation in which the being and activity of the monads consist, we must not think directly of the conscious activity of the human soul. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Is the Pythagorean image of the harmony, or that of the monad, the truer expression? Phaedo They were supposed by him to be percipient, self-acting beings, not under arbitrary control of the deity, and yet God himself was the original monad from which all the rest are generated. A History of Science — Volume 2 It is the lowest point of the are in the monad's downward journey. The Light of Egypt; or, the science of the soul and the stars — Volume 2 From the monad proceeds an indefinite duad, which is subordinate to the monad as to its cause. A History of Science — Volume 1 No monad represents the common universe and its individual parts just as well as the others, but either better or worse. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time That, for instance, while it takes years to develop the man from the baby, and months to develop the dog from the puppy, the baby monad will grow to maturity in an hour. The Autobiography of a Slander In short, each monad is a kind of deity in itself—a microcosm representing all the great features of the macrocosm. A History of Science — Volume 2 The web of life has caught the monad of the soul and thus incarnated the universe, for each soul incarnates its universe at birth, each one's world being different, and peculiar unto himself. The Light of Egypt; or, the science of the soul and the stars — Volume 2 That from the monad and the indefinite duad proceed numbers. A History of Science — Volume 1 Leibnitz's two leading ideas, the theory of monads and the pre-established harmony, were most of all affected by this process of toning down. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time It was, therefore, not the perfection of the single monad, but the perfection of the system of which it forms a necessary part, that was decisive as to its admission into existence. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time According to his theory of the ultimate elements of the universe, the entire universe is composed of individual centres, or monads. A History of Science — Volume 2 And the stars weave the web in their lines of sextile, square and trine, of opposition and conjunction, thus enveloping the monad in the Circle of Necessity. The Light of Egypt; or, the science of the soul and the stars — Volume 2 In the macrocosm of the universe things go on as in the microcosm of the monad; every later state of the world is prefigured in the earlier, etc. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The monad has no windows through which anything could pass in or out, but in its action is dependent only on God and on itself. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Organisms are complexes of monads, of which one, the soul, is supreme, while the rest, which serve it, form its body. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time He believed that by virtue of an inward energy monads develop themselves spontaneously, each being independent of every other. A History of Science — Volume 2 Therefore, little monad, caught in the tangle of the web of life and the glamour of earthly things, take heart, for, beyond all, is the star of your being. The Light of Egypt; or, the science of the soul and the stars — Volume 2 Every monad represents all others in itself, is a concentrated all, the universe in miniature. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The objects of representation are merely representing subjects; the monad A represents the monads from B to Z, while these in turn do nothing more than represent one another. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The clearer the representations of a monad the more active it is. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time For a group of monads appears as a body when it is indistinctly perceived. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The Ego is like the Deific potency of the universe, unlimited in potential power, but limited by its monad as to what will be evolved from its awful depth of being. The Light of Egypt; or, the science of the soul and the stars — Volume 2 There are as many different degrees of clearness and distinctness as there are monads. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time All monads represent the same universe, but each one represents it differently, that is, from its particular point of view—represents that which is near at hand distinctly, and that which is distant confusedly. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time But the phenomenon of extended mass arises for our confused sensuous perception, which perceives the monads composing a body together and regards them as a continuous unity.
