Famous Laurence Galian Quotes

“The dervishes (or Sufis) have a saying, 'The dervish is the mirror of the dervish.' In other words, the universe is the mirror of the magickian's unconscious. Remember that face and you will never be dismayed for all is your realm to rule. For all will be plain to you. Whatever you experience will always and only be yourself. Whatever you change within your unconscious will always and only be the universe.”

“The human brain literally became able to draw down the fire from heaven, in other words, to snatch a portion of Divine energy. This Divine energy had existed since the time when the Divinity convulsed in the cosmic orgasm call the big bang. The 'fluids' released in this energetic discharge were able to balance, or neutralize, the charge between heaven and earth.”

“Within our very cells we carry genetic memories of ancestral incarnations. If we awaken these atavisms to conscious life, we can take on their attributes and qualities. These atavistic powers have been known for millennia as: animal totems, helping spirits, maybe even the Gods and Goddesses themselves!”

“Theosophists refer to the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel as the Silent Watcher (the reader might here recall the author's suggestion to make self-observation or self-watching a major magickal goal). Another term for It is the Great Master. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn call It the Genius. Gnostics say the Logos. Zoroaster talks about united all these symbols into the form of a Lion (see Austin Osman Spare's work). Anna Kingsford calls It Adonai (Clothed with the Sun). Buddhists call It Adi-Buddha. The Bhagavad-gītā calls It Vishnu (Krishna is an Avatar of Vishnu). The Yi King calls him The Great Person. The Kabbalah calls It Jechidah.”

“This is a book of magick. There is a magickal power that arises through the reconciliation of duality. You can use this power to help you manifest your personal goals. Herein are contained the arts and techniques of utilizing this state of magickal equilibrium for spiritual growth, personal power, and success. Within this book 'buried treasure' is brought to light. I have unearthed for the reader magickal concepts that have long lain hidden, unused, and unappreciated in the metaphysical literature. The theories and methods of ancient sages and occultists are introduced in a straightforward manner that is clear and useful to the modern magickian.”

“The One Thing can never be another thing, for then it would not be The One Thing. Therefore, the texture of the living braille of Reality may play with the senses, but it is only 'play.' For example, the 'words' in braille may be beautiful or terrible words, but the sheet of paper on which the braille is written always remains one sheet of paper. The Self-Realized Human Being (who in olden times was called 'God') transcends all religion, all opposites. As we discover our divinity, our inner and outer wars are transcended, as we are shocked to learn that we have been in love with both sides all along.”

“While psychologists will say that it is fear of rejection that stands between humanity and freedom, or deeper still, a public humiliation, the author believes that at the threshold to freedom, human beings (for some unknown reason - perhaps because of a collective trauma from the ancient past) imagine they will confront total annihilation. Nevertheless, maybe this is a good thing, for NO-THING stands between you and freedom.”

“The universe flows in two directions simultaneously. This flow is comparable to Alternating Current. Electronics teaches us that the flow of electricity in the wires in our walls, in our appliances, and so forth, actually changes direction and polarity at a rapid rate. This rapid changing of direction or polarity is that 'alternates' in Alternating Current.”

“Crowley recognizes that the magickian can share 'one general nature' with other beings, in other words, he is referring to the morphogenetic field that the magickian shares with others working members of a lodge, a spiritual community or simply through a shared harmony of purpose. For the morphogenetic field most definitely has its own Will, directing those in the field to follow its inexorable tug.”

“By synthesizing contradictions, you begin to achieve a unity of being and purpose. Unity arises through the equilibration of all opposites into the point of transcendence. You then become a lightning bolt of power, transcending all contradictions. Your total power becomes greater than the sum of your parts. This is the Great Alchemical Marriage that is spoken of in the ancient texts: the annihilation of the two ingredients at the birth of a third.”

“The magickian causes breath to enter the word. Written words are like dry bones. But with the shaking (vibration) of the wind (respiration) the bones shall live. The sophisticated manipulation of air molecules, in accordance with the alchemical instructions for the pronunciation of the God's 'Name' (usually only transmitted orally from teacher to student) thereby makes manifest, it brings to life, the Divine Being, the one who seemed to have died, before the one who intoned the Name.”
