Quote by Laurence Galian

“What is the meaning of drawing the sword from the stone? The meanings are several. It is the same message and symbol as Mithra coming from the cave or Jesus rising from the cave after death. The stone - cave represents the body - the apparent world - the nafs – the commanding self. Pulling the Sword from the Stone, in short means, pulling the light from "matter,” extracting essence from base. See it in an alchemical sense. In other words, it is the story of illumination. Thus, it is the moment of “Kingship.”

“God Mithra, showed that it is not good to just take whenever and whatever you want. It is also okay to refuse to take when you can. And to be able to give up and give something of your own to the overtaken. Mithra showed that strength is not to knock someone down, but to get them back up on their feet... He used his ever-growing host to help and dispense justice in lands strewn with lawlessness. He took from those who did as they pleased and amassed more and more at the expense of the helpless and the slaves... He was the shepherd with the spear in his hands, breaking the bones of those who dared to hurt the defenseless.”
