    Hi,
    Cool link! I had never read this bit before. Very interesting. In
    it Bardon says:

    "There is no magic without mysticism, i.e. no substance without
    influences, effects and manifestations, since these two fundamental
    basic concepts are dependent on each other. Magic may not be
    separated from mysticism, and both have to be dealt with at the same
    time and in a like manner. In his studies, the Hermetic must always
    proceed in a magical and mystical manner; that is, he must always
    bear in mind both quantity and quality, and he must be able to
    differentiate distinctly between quantity (for example, power in
    matter and substances) and quality (for example attributes, effects,
    influences, and the like). He must never confuse the two concepts if
    he does not wish to create chaos.

    Remember! Magic is quantity and mysticism is quality! When, in the
    chapters that follow, I speak of quantities, I will always mean
    magic. When talking about influences, attributes, abilities, virtues,
    and so forth, I will be referring to mysticism. This has been a
    universal law from the beginning of the world and it will remain a
    universal law until its end!"

    I would like to get some clarification on his terms *quantity* and
    *quality* relating to magic and mysticism. It seems to me he is
    using them like-
    cause and effect
    creator and created
    akasha -> -> -> earth, etc.
    Am I understanding this correctly?
    Thanks
    Alan
