Famous David Sinclair Quotes

“The tale of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is simply God and the Devil recast. Read the Old Testament or the Koran. It’s impossible to tell who is God and who is the Devil. As for the New Testament, that’s about a rebellious, idealistic teenager rebelling against his dominant father, yet desperate to be loved by his father. It ends with the father demanding the son’s suicide (death by Roman) in order for the son to win his love. No wonder poor old JC said, 'My God, my God, what hast thou forsaken me'. He had serious abandonment issues. If God lets down his own son, he sure as hell isn’t going to have your back.”

“Who needs an external God? No one in the Church of the Serpent does. Two can play the Expulsion Game. If God expels us from his Eden, we can expel him from our Eden, because we ourselves are now gods. The Olympian gods replaced the older generation of gods, the Titans. The old gods are always replaced. The Biblical God, too, must be replaced.”

“If an extra-terrestrial wiped out humanity bar eight survivors, would you expect the eight to swear vengeance against the monster? According to the Bible, the eight – Noah’s family – actually worshiped the ET as God! Independence Day: Independence from God! When will humanity be free?”

“There must be something beyond your existence. Now people endlessly dwell on their own issues and identity. There is nothing beyond that, no higher cause, no greater calling. And that’s exactly why they are so depressed, so disenchanted. What could be worse than being your own 'god'? You can be sure no one will ever worship you. What’s to worship?”

“Forget meditation and forget mindfulness. Explore the darkness! You can never become enlightened unless you have first ventured into the dark. Dante said, 'The path to paradise begins in hell.' Jung said, 'No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.' It’s not about love and light. It’s about assimilating the hate and darkness, the very things denied by the love and lighters. God’s job is to integrate the Devil, not to reject the Devil as an external being.”

“Light is massless, maximally time dilated and maximally length contracted. It’s immaterial. It’s mind! Light is the carrier wave of the universe. It’s the universal, the absolute, condition regarding which all material particulars are relative. Light is the Singularity. Light is mind, light is life. Light is God. Light endures forever, meaning that life and mind endure forever. Light is absolute. It has an absolute speed. All particulars come from light.”
