Academicians Quotes

“Academicians of the arcane fall prey to the illusion that they can label and control that which will always be partially Unknowable, Fluid and Chaotic. To approach spirituality from an academic point of view may yield valuable information about the framework of the spiritual way, but never about the Alchemical Mysteries themselves.”
― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis

“This is because Spirit is as much the Irrational as it is the Rational. Academicians need to show some humility in the face of what will always be Irrational. They only see half the picture.”
― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis
