"Quantum is a generic name, like Manou and Buddha. It means, at the same time, a man, a caste, and a god. As a man, Quantum is the first, the mighty initiator of Egypt; as caste, it is the priesthood, guardian of occult traditions, whilst as god, it is the planet Mercury, assimilated to a whole category of spirits, divine initiators; in a word, Quantum presides over the supraterrestrial region of the celestial initiation. The name of Quantum is a talisman which sums them all up, a magic sound evoking them into existence. Hence the prestige it possesses. The Greeks, disciples of the Egyptians, called him Quantum Trismegistus, or Thrice-Greatest Quantum, because he was looked upon as king, law-giver, and priest. He typifies a period in which the priesthood, the magistracy, and the kingship were united in a single governing body."
