Transcendental Magic: The Rise of the New Magicians Quotes

“Although physical time travel is forbidden, mental time travel emphatically is not. That’s what memory is. Your eternal monadic mind was, by definition, in existence 100 years ago, so if you want to know the world of 100 years ago, “all” you need to do is access the memories of your mind from 100 years ago. When people imagine an out-of-body experience, they imagine traveling through space without their physical body (or with some “astral” body as a substitute). In fact, out-of-body experiences are overwhelmingly associated with travel through time. Every time you recall a memory, you are in a sense traveling into the past, not as a body, but as a disembodied mind. The top OBE practitioners could travel all the way back to the Big Bang! They would then be gods.”

“The collective unconscious is the collective mind of the universe and is related to every individual mind. The interface of the collective unconscious and consciousness is the personal unconscious, populated by complexes. The personal unconscious is the liminal zone between individual consciousness and the collective unconscious, between man and God.”

“It’s worth stressing that wealth and success are never the top motivators for geniuses. Most geniuses have ended up in poverty, obscurity and failure. Genius has its price and that price is normally the total blank incomprehension, or even active contempt, of the world. A genius is invariably an outsider, rebel and revolutionary. All new ideas threaten the Old Order, and the Old Order is never interested in losing its power and prestige. The currently rich and successful do not want to open the doors to their own replacements. They’re not stupid. Geniuses never get along with the Old Order. After all, geniuses are here precisely to change the Old Ways.”

“The astounding creativity of the unconscious mind is apparent from its ability to produce our incredible and exhilarating dreams. It’s amazing how many people take their dreams for granted and don’t stop to consider how extraordinary dreaming is, and how much work goes into producing a dream. Think of the time, effort, personnel and cost that goes into producing a Hollywood blockbuster. A dream can do something even better on the hoof, night after night.”
