“I had given up magic, because it had reached a state of perfection. I felt that I was able to transform men into animals. I did not make use of this capability, because I believed I could not justify an intervention of this kind in the life of another person.” MenKindPersonsStatesUseAbleGivenFeltAnimalMagicPerfectionJustifyCapabilityInterventionGiven Up Author:Wolfgang Hildesheimer
“We say that we often see animals in our dreams, but we forget that almost always we are ourselves animals therein, deprived of that reasoning power which projects upon things the light of certainty; on the contrary we bring to bear on the spectacle of life only a dubious vision, extinguished anew every moment by oblivion, the former reality fading before that which follows it as one projection of a magic lantern fades before the next as we change the slide.” MomentsDreamRealityLightNextForgetAnimalVisionMagicBearsProjectsContraryCertaintyFormerReasoningFadesOur DreamsOblivionDeprivedProjectionSlidesFadingDubiousLanterns Book:Remembrance of Things Past: Swann's way.

“The idea that by eating the meat of an animal, the animal powers or faculties could be conveyed to oneself is nonsense and originates in a mental ignorance of the perfect and genuine primitive laws.” IdeasLawPerfectAnimalMagicIgnoranceEatingOneselfGenuineMeatNonsenseMysticismFacultyPrimitive Author:Franz Bardon
“Vegetarianism is not implicitly important for the mental progress or the intellectual development, unless it is supposed to be a remedy to clean the body from slag. A temporary abstinence from meat or animal food is indicated only for very specific magic operations as a sort of preparation, and even then only for a certain period. All this is to be considered with respect to sexual life.” ImportantBodyCertainAnimalProgressMagicDevelopmentPeriodsIntellectualCleanSupposed To BePreparationOperationsMeatMysticismTemporaryRemedyVegetarianismAbstinenceAnimal FoodIntellectual DevelopmentSlag Author:Franz Bardon
“The magical approach is indeed the natural approach to life's experience.

“Science comforting man's animal poverty and leisuring his toil, hath humanized manners and social temper, and now above her globe-spredd net of speeded intercourse hath outrun all magic, and disclosing the secrecy of the reticent air hath woven a web of invisible strands spiriting the dumb inane with the quick matter of life.” MenMatterSocialAnimalPovertyMagicAirInvisibleMannersDumbTemperGlobesToilComfortingSecrecyIntercourseWovenStrandsOutrun Author:Robert Bridges
“Sometime in the last 50,000 years, before 12,000 years ago, a kind of paradise came into existence. A situation in which men and women, parents and children, people and animals, human institutions and the land all were in dynamic balance and not in any primitive sense at all. Language was fully developed, poetry may have been at its climax, dance, magic, poetics, altruism, philosophy. There's no reason to think that these things were not practiced as adroitly as we practice them today and it was under the boundary dissolving influence of psilocybin.” PeopleThinkingMenYearsHumansKindMayChildrenHas BeensReasonPhilosophyTodayLastsLanguageParentAnimalExistenceSituationPracticeMagicInfluenceLandBalanceMen And WomenYears AgoInstitutionsBoundariesParadiseNo ReasonPrimitiveAltruismChildren And ParentsClimaxDissolvingPsilocybin Author:Terence McKenna
