Preface XXI - 'This book sums up five years of questing, through all the regions of consciousness to the frontiers of science and tradition." This was what he was trying to do and each chapter therefore reads a bit like that stream of consciousness versus any point or driver of what might have started the journey to begin with. p. 115 "Scientific knowledge is not objective. Like civilization, it is a conspiracy. Quantities of facts are rejected because they would upset preconceived ideas. We live under an inquisitional regime where the weapon most frequently employed against nonconformist reality is derision. Under such conditions, then, what can our knowledge amount to?" Here, he's introducing Charles Fort. I feel (hope)like this might be an imperfect translation of what Fort is saying taken out of temporal context. I might need to just read Fort. I think it depends on the type of science and in what way. I'm not convinced it's a conspiracy though nor does he provide any sort of additional support or expansion of this idea before moving from it.

The first, in a proportion of 95 percent, is some sort of ore: arsenopyrites, for example, an iron ore containing among its impurities arsenic and antimony. The second is a metal: iron, lead, silver, or mercury. The third is an acid of organic origin, such as tartaric or citric acid. He will continue to grind and mix by hand these ingredients for five or six months. He will then proceed to heat the mixture in a crucible, increasing the temperature by degrees and continuing this operation for ten days or so. He must take precautions, for toxic gases are released: mercury vapor and especially arsenohydrogen, which has killed many an alchemist at the beginning of his experiment.

The last word on Le Matin should, I think, go to Jeffrey J. Kripal who, in his book Mutants and Mystics: Science Fiction, Superhero Comics, and the Paranormal, writes: “Read literally, the book is perfectly outrageous. Read fantastically, that is, as an act of imagination in touch with some deeper stream of physical and cultural reality, the book is perfectly prescient.” FULL text of The Morning of Magicians by Louis Pauwels & Jacques Bergier, 1960, originally in French. The book has several very important themes: science and its origins and history, contemporary threats of total destruction by nuclear wars. Among secondary themes important are: history of Alchemy, Esoterica, ESP and military research on ESP and MANY MANY MANY other exciting and profound subjects of research also are present in this Magnificent work by a nuclear physicist from Odessa, Ukraine and very talented French author and science researcherLachman, Gary (2001).

Related to von Däniken's thesis is another theme of The Morning of the Magicians that impacted on the sixties: the idea of some great leap in human consciousness, an evolutionary mutation that was about to take place, if it hadn't already begun, and which would result in the new man. When he set about writing his own works, he began to blend the modern world of science fiction with his favorite tales of Gothic gloom. Lovecraft tried to bring the Gothic tale into the twentieth century, modernizing the trappings of ancient horror for a new century of science. Lovecraft published his work in pulp fiction magazines, notably Weird Tales, though many of his works were not published until after his death in 1937. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, science fiction and horror magazines reprinted Lovecraft's tales numerous times, and he became one of the most popular pulp authors.

P. 189 I did not know the Golden Dawn's history. Nice. It was founded in 1887 as an offshoot of the Rosicrucian Society by Robert Wentworth Little and consisted of Freemasons and I did not realize that Yeats was a member of the Golden Dawn. Lovecraft's works banished the supernatural by recasting it in materialist terms. He took the idea of a pantheon of ancient gods and made them a group of aliens who descended to earth in the distant past. The groundbreaking and classic study that first popularized occultism, alchemy, and paranormal phenomena in the 1960s

No, we do not use 10% of the brain, we use 100% percent of it. The brain is just like an engine of a car... we don't use only 10% of the engine when going slow and 100% when going at max speed. The engine works 100% at all time, only that its parts are working faster at faster speed. If one part breaks, the brain, as the car engine, will work badly or not work at all.

What is the alchemist’s working material? The same as that used for high temperature mineral chemistry: furnaces, crucibles, scales, measuring instruments with, in addition, modern apparatus for detecting nuclear radiation--Geiger counters, scintillometers, etc. Additionally, they would have no desire to brag about their accomplishments or explain their thoughts to us - for the same reason, we don't try to teach our dogs algebra. We simply could not understand anything meaningful they had to say. Quentin Coldwater, a grad student at Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, has been fascinated by the magical fantasy world since he was young. But as he has gotten older, Quentin and his 20-something friends have discovered that the magical world they read about as children is not only real, but poses dangers to humanity. While studying at the secret upstate New York school, the friends struggle to cope with the aftermath of a catastrophe that befalls the institution. The fantasy series is based on a series of novels by Lev Grossman. Adams, Deborah (2009). "Review of "The Morning of the Magicians "". Curled Up With A Good Book . Retrieved 9 April2010.

In Julius Evola's intellectual autobiography The Path of Cinnabar, the baron discusses how The Morning of the Magicians, using falsehoods and fantasies, attempted to taint the name of pioneering Radical Traditionalist René Guénon. The authors make the claim that Nazism was "Guénon with tanks." Interestingly enough, The Morning of the Magicians author Louis Pauwels would later became a figure in the French New Right. Co-Author Jacques Bergier was a Russian Jew whose cousin Anatoly was a member of the firing squad that shot Tsar Nicholas II. One can only assume that Mr. Bergier was a little biased when writing The Morning of the Magicians, his butt-love for Albert Einstein is more than obvious. La seconda parte è dedicata al dilagare dell'occultismo nel XX, al ritorno in pompa magna dell'irrazionale, dell'antiscientifico, all'influsso dell'esoterismo, anche orientale, nella vita culturale, dapprima, e nelle ideologie politiche, poi. Il nocciolo sta nell'analisi delle tendenze occulte del partito nazista e nei deliri messianici del suo leader. Come il grande apparato scientifico tedesco si è piegato al servizio di tesi che negano le fondamenta della scienza (la teoria del ghiaccio e del fuoco, la teoria della terra concava ecc.). In a 2004 article for Skeptic, the author Jason Colavito wrote that the book's tales of ancient astronauts predated Erich von Däniken's works on the topic, and that the ideas are so close to the fictional works of H. P. Lovecraft such as " The Call of Cthulhu" or At the Mountains of Madness (published in 1928 and 1931, respectively) that, according to Colavito, it is probable that Lovecraft's fiction directly inspired the book. [5] First, Pauwels suggests that a being of superhuman intelligence wouldn't need to hide. Neither would an organization of such intelligences. What they said to each other would be incomprehensible to ordinary humans, much in the same way that dogs don't understand what humans say. It would simply be lost on us.
