Freedom Is a Two Edged Sword Book

Book had some good content regarding the occult, magick, time and space, and also being anti-materialistic and anti-christian. However, I found most of his ideas to be way too liberal for me when it came to things like love and tolerance, universalism, and feminism, being against the patriarchy and excessive masculinity. Probably not worth the money you would have to pay to get a copy.

"Freedom is a two-edged sword of which one edge is liberty and the other responsibility, on which both edges are exceedingly sharp; and which is not easily handled by casual, cowardly or treacherous hands. For it has been sharpened by many conflicts, tempered in many fires, quenched by much blood, and although it is always ready for the use of the courageous and high-hearted, it will not remain when the spirit that forged it is gone." - John Whiteside Parsons (Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword, Pg.11)

"The spate of semen is one with the jet of stars men call the Milky Way." - John Whiteside Parsons (Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword, Pg.32)
*As above, so below.*

"The atom is small, and the electron is intangible. The critical mass of plutonium is about three and one-half pounds, and the weight of a man's brain is not much more. What is the weight of a fertilized ovum, from which the mind arises?
Yet in that mind are encompassed mountains and plains and planets, nebulae and the universe of stars. Poetry and philosophy, mathematics and music flourish in this frail network of cells.
But no mind can long control the powers of nature that cannot control itself. The intellect may invoke demons from atoms and suns, but only the will can command them." - John Whiteside Parsons (Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword, Pg.38)

"Witch woman, out of the ashes of the stake, rise again!" - John Whiteside Parsons (Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword, Pg.42)

"Magick is not created by man, it is a part of man, having its basis in the structure of his brain, his body and his nervous system in their relations to his conceptual universe, the matrix of thought, and of speech, the mother of thought. Magick is also the source of the great myths which are the common heritage of the race, moving alike in the creative and initiatory sagas of the great cultures, and in the destructive and abortive nightmares of the terminal stage called modern civilization." - John Whiteside Parsons (Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword, Pg.45)

"And when the howl of the wolf echoes in the forests of your night, know that there are those who also prowl. And when the ways of your fellows about you seem the ways of idiocy and madness, know that there are also others who have seen and judged - and acted." - John Whiteside Parsons (Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword, Pg.72)
