Grant Quote Source

[grouchotrout]

Came across this quote earlier today and was wondering if any one knows the source?

"The terrestrial vehicle is an outcropping in three dimensions of the Angel: the Angel is the fountain of the living waters which empowers the terrestrial vehicle."

Thanks in advance!

Hi, are you sure that it is a quote from Grant? It's certainly interesting, a reference to the Holy Guardian Angel evidently, but it does not entirely read like Grant to me, although I am prepared to be mistaken.

"the fountain of the living waters" is a distinctly biblical phrase, not that Grant was averse to using such; it's that "outcropping in three dimensions" that does not sound a note with me.

Thank you for your reply, Stephen!

In my zeal, I neglected to note the footnotes in the article. Evidently, the quote is from none other than Michael Staley in Starfire vol 1, no 5!

Hi Grouchotrout, I got out my copy of STARFIRE Vol.I, 5 and checked out page 191. It is part of a substantial book review of OUTER GATEWAYS by Michael Staley. To put the quotation into clearer context, I don't think Michael would mind me quoting him:

"As terrestrial vehicles, we are not independent, free-standing individuals, but the tip of a pan-dimensional iceberg, Take for instance a keynote Working such as the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. Anyone who has undertaken this Working - whether cast in the form of Liber Samekh the Sacred Magic of Abramelin, or any other which is dictated by the Angel - becomes aware of the remarkable intimacy between the terrestrial vehicle and the Angel. In crude terms, the terrestrial vehicle is an outcropping in three dimensions of the Angel; the angel is the fountain of living waters which empowers the terrestrial vehicle".

So there you are and I was right in not thinking that the quote was Grant.

The "fountain of living waters" MQVR MIM ChIIM, only occurs in that specific Hebrew form in Jeremiah 2.13 where it is used as a description of Yahweh!

Thanks for giving the link to the page by Koenig, I do not think I have read it before as I would surely have recalled some of the juicy details regarding the histories of individuals I know and have known.

Much appreciated, Stephen. The quote didn't sound familiar to my ears either, but it resonated with me deeply.

Cursory investigation into "fountain of living waters" seems to indicate a man-made spring or fountain, as opposed to a naturally occurring one, implying work and effort, which definitely makes sense in the context of anything approaching K&C of the HGA.

And now my mind wonders and wanders towards some yet un-concresced correlation with da'ath-ian forces, what with the watery, hyper-dimensional-ness of all the above... It seems that the (literal?) end of the Angel, opposite the 3-D outcropping, dips its head into the Abyss. "Seen" from above the Abyss, the reversed image might resemble The Hanged Man. It also reminds me of certain baptismal rites where a dipper is used to pour water over the head. I suspect this also relates somehow with Taoist alchemical concepts and imagery such as the Big Dipper distributing the divine cosmic forces of the Pole Star across the heavens and throughout the Universe, among other things.

I'm all-ways reminded of my trip to a sausage factory by The Hanged Man. They slaughtered their own pigs on site by hanging them from their rear legs and slitting their throats immediately after a quick, merciful death via pneumatic piston-gun to the brain. The pull of gravity would make nearly all the blood dramatically fall out at once, with no effort at all on the pig's part, lol
