Perception and Endless Cycles (R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz)

"... don't forget that perception depends on a state of consciousness, or better, it is a measure of consciousness. The faculty to perceive, to experience, is usually wasted on some kind of esthetico-hedonistic pursuit, or else applied to purely practical purposes; if correctly channeled, however, that is, if placed at the service of intuitive knowledge by a technique of identification, it will contribute to the expansion of consciousness that is the driving force of evolution" [André VandenBroeck, "Al-Kemi. Hermetic, Occult, Political, and Private Aspects of R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, Lindisfarne Press, New York 1987, s 181]

"The power behind the entire cosmic drama is this evolution of consciousness, and not a propensity of matter to metamorphose. Matter can do no more than express consciousness" [ibid.]
