To cause change to happen a person needs a greater or bigger fore than their own conscious mind to cause that pendulum to start swinging in the other direction.

~ Laurence Galian

All humanity is an aspect of Divinity, having its existence within the Omniconscious Unicity known as God.
~ Laurence Galian
Mistakenly, many people confuse duality with polarity. In spiritual growth it is important to focus on polarity. Polarity can be viewed as complimentary forces that work together to create balance, on the other hand, duality is the belief in opposing forces that conflict with each other and create chaos. Your goal is to establish a balance between the two poles.

~ Laurence Galian
Stagnation equals death. A stagnant pond eventually becomes mud. A human being, whose biological system becomes stagnant, dies. There must be movement in the waters! The Waters of Life cannot flow in a clogged and stagnant human being.
~ Laurence Galian
Sufism travels into the realm of story, inspired analogy and esoteric understanding of the Qur'an, so that the Sufi may ultimately become the Essence.

Life is one aspect of death and death is one aspect of life.
~ Laurence Galian
Death and Life are merely two sides of the same coin.

~ Laurence Galian
We suggest that you consistently work throughout your lifetime on the creation of a coherent and integral spirit body. If your mind never turns to the spiritual in life, why do you think it will turn to the spirit in death? If you are not 'at home' with things spiritual, why do you think you will be able to orient yourself when you are thrust into the spirit world? At best, you will be disoriented and uncomfortable.
~ Laurence Galian
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.
~ Laurence Galian
Spirit is to matter, as ice is to water, in other words: the same substance, but in a different state. As you admire the beauty of the intricate frost lacework on a winter windowpane, you might pause to reflect that invisible lines of force existed before the frost. The cold manifests the beauty of the lines of force.
~ Laurence Galian
Because Western religion has created this image of the 'God of Good in Whom there is no Darkness,' a grand enantiodromia is occurring around the globe. The 'Light' has been overemphasized in religion, and they have sentenced its opposite characteristic to the dungeon of society's collective unconscious. Sometimes the repressed characteristic bursts forth wildly into daylight with a lethal force. We are witnessing this enantiodromia enacted daily as we watch the Evening News.
~ Laurence Galian
Guides will give various practices, but rarely do Murids perform them and even more rarely with any kind of consistency. Many people run around from Sheikh to Sheikh or therapist to therapist, trying to get answers. Often the problem is that these people never truly put into effect the answers they have already been given. Rather than always looking for more, more, more, they should use what they have already been given.
~ Laurence Galian
The Ophite Christians believed that ingesting the living substances of reproduction was considered more 'spiritual' than ingesting the dead body of the god, even in the transmuted form of bread and wine, though the color symbolism was the same.
~ Laurence Galian
There are two types of distraction: pleasure or terror.
~ Laurence Galian
Each human beings has the sense organs that can experience Spirit; it is just that these organs go undeveloped in most people. The capability of perception is there, but various are the reasons it lies undeveloped. Some people are unaware that these supra-realities exist, others are aware but do not know how to develop the supersensible organs to perceive them, and finally there are those who know but who are afraid.
~ Laurence Galian
Projection is the attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something. Projection is an unconscious defense against anxiety or guilt.
