“If you want to be a real person living in the real world, the first thing you must do is get off the grid. Take the first brave step and delete your Facebook profile. After all, you surely wouldn’t want the words carved on your headstone to be: “I was registered with Facebook. I had 101 online friends (and I even knew a few of them). My current mood is: Sad.” FriendsInternetSocial MediaOnlineNarcissismProfileFacebookOff The Grid Book:Mad as Hell: Why Everything is Getting Crazier Source: Mad as Hell: Why Everything is Getting Crazier
“We are all glittering stars and one day we will come together in the brightest star of all – God himself. This is humanity’s destiny. Is that not an inspiring vision of humanity?

“We can all escape from whatever dilemma we’re in by adopting the correct attitude. It’s a tough lesson, but to learn it is to gain the means to transcend ordinary life.” InspirationMotivationAttitudeOptimismPositivityGroundhog DayOpen Mindset Book:Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day Source: Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day
“Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, we have to escape from the eternal recurrence of our day-to-day lives. We have to try new things, learn new things, become people of wide interest rather than narrow focus. We should test our limits, not let limits define us. When a new day comes, we should feel as grateful as Bill Murray, the most overjoyed man on earth when he was able to break out of the prison of repetition.” OptimismPositivitySelf ActualizationNietzscheGroundhog DayBill MurrayEternal RecurrenceOpen MindsetSisyphean Book:Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day Source: Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day
“We are the new and improved Christians, those who actually understand Christianity. It has nothing to do with worshipping the Son of God, and everything to do with becoming God. Christianity is about making yourself Christ.” GodReligionChristEvolutionBecomingWorshipDivinityChristiansIlluminismOmega Point Book:Hegel: The Man Who Would Be God Source: Hegel: The Man Who Would Be God
“Each of us is a “cell” of the Absolute Mind. If we can expand our minds, we can tune into Absolute Mind, the Mind of God. We ourselves, if we can harness Absolute Mind, can become God.” MindGodReligionCellGestaltPanentheismAbsolute Mind Book:God Genesis Source: God Genesis
“Destiny has called you to be a god. Are you hero enough for the task? Will you switch on your inner “hero program”, or slink off to the shopping mall or the sports stadium and put it off for yet another day? Maybe you’ll take in a movie. So much easier to watch others doing the heavy lifting, and the actors are just faking it anyway. Where are the real heroes? Where are YOU?!” InspirationMotivationActiveShoppingHeroesPassiveConsumerismSelf ActualizationBread And Ciruses Book:How to Become a Hero Source: How to Become a Hero
“Why do you think there are no gods on Mount Olympus now? They killed themselves, that’s why. They were terminally bored.” GodBoredomGreek MythologyOlympusCyclicalDivine SuicideSisyphean Book:Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day Source: Nietzsche: The God of Groundhog Day
“No one’s coming to save the world. Not Jesus Christ, not anyone. If the world is to be saved then it’s our responsibility, no one else’s. The very act of believing in a Saviour is a disgrace. It’s cowardice and laziness, an abdication of our personal obligations. The logic of our central theme of “becoming God” is that each of us has to don the divine mantle. Salvation is our business, not someone else’s. It’s time to be active, not passive. It’s time to make things happen; not sit back and wait for others. It’s time to create our own “Rapture”, not pray to someone else to make it happen. We have to stop being alienated from our divine spark. It’s time to burnish it and let it illuminate the world.” GodInspirationActionMotivationReligionJesusActiveSaviorPassive Book:The Right-Brain God Source: The Right-Brain God
“In Dante’s Limbo, the Ignavi are always waiting. Their crime in life was that they preferred to wait until everything was decided rather than commit themselves to a cause when its prospects were uncertain, and now they are condemned to wait forever in the vestibule of hell. Anyone can jump on a bandwagon. The heroes are those who got involved long before the bandwagon arrived. You have to find a cause and commit yourself fully. That’s the first step in giving meaning to your life.” ActionDecisionMovementHeroCommitmentPassiveCauseBandwagonIgnaviDante S Inferno Book:The Right-Brain God Source: The Right-Brain God
“Meritocracy is based on the absolute destruction of the rigged race of life, via the introduction of 100% inheritance tax, i.e. an overwhelming advantage can no longer be passed on by rich parents to their children. All children, no matter the wealth of their parents, must begin at the same starting line as everyone else. No parent can rig the race. The 1% can no longer dictate the outcome of the race” RaceMeritocracy1Inheritance Tax Book:The Case for Meritocracy Source: The Case for Meritocracy
“Don’t imagine psychopaths to be monsters with horns. They’re not. They’re people like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. They’re well camouflaged most of the time. That’s why they fool you so easily.” CapitalismPsychopathAmerican Psycho Book:Crapitalism Source: Crapitalism
“Welcome to the anti-meritocratic world, this world. What are you going to do about it? Will you stand back and watch while cronyism, nepotism, the old school tie, the private club, the right university, the right accent, the right background, the right secret society, the right religion, the right family, destroy merit so that their chosen ones can prosper at your expense. It’s time to smash the conspiracy. Break up all the mechanisms that allow privileged groups within society to rig the system in their favour and penalise anyone who doesn’t belong to their insidious cliques.” PrivilegeCorruptionNetworkingMeritocracyNepotismCronyism Book:The Meritocracy Party Source: The Meritocracy Party
“Yes, the Illuminati have always sought a New World Order. Humanity cries out for it. Isn’t it time to abolish the old, failed ways that have enslaved so many billions? The Illuminati have incurred the enmity of all those who prosper from the Old World Order: the rich, privileged elites, the religious leaders who deceive their flocks (of sheep), and the paranoid, ill educated idiots (all the brainwashed anti-New World Order conspiracy theory nuts who don’t see that the New World Order is their only hope of liberation).” New World OrderBrainwashedMassesIlluminatiDialecticFalse ConsciousnessOld World Order Book:The Hidden Masters Source: The Hidden Masters
“No greater affirmation of life is possible than to wish every part of it to return to you forever. It is the sublime moment when a person can look at his life, no matter what it consists of – good, bad, or indifferent – and find within himself the desire never to be freed from any aspect of it that allows a human being to be transformed into an Übermensch, the supreme life affirmer.” AffirmationNietzscheSupermanUbermenschEternal RecurrenceSisyphean Author:Michael Faust
“Meritocracy is a sacred cause, not profane. It is numinous. Meritocracy is about the glory and highest aspirations of the human race, not about letting people run around doing their own thing regardless of everyone else, and fretting over which hamburger to choose. If that’s all you want from life, you might as well go and live in the jungle.” MeritocracySacred Cause Book:The Case for Meritocracy Source: The Case for Meritocracy
“Will we fall into the abyss, or will we become Supermen and Superwomen, and finally Gods? The future of our souls is about to be decided. We can place ourselves on a divine trajectory, or sink back into the slime, defeated by our inability to overcome our feelings and our addictive stories. The choice, ladies and gentlemen, is yours. These are the highest possible stakes. The moment of decision has come. Enlightenment – or the slime.” GodEvolutionEnlightenmentSlimeSupermen Author:Michael Faust
“When you have “failed better” enough times, you will surely succeed because you have dialectically honed you skills to the level where you are vastly superior to your competitors. Knowing how to “fail better” is one of the greatest challenges and opportunities in life. As you learn the mistakes of each failure, your knowledge, resilience and talent grow enormously. Eventually you stand transformed, ready to be an astonishing success, tested in the fire, prepared to rise up from the ashes of defeat, to follow the wondrous Phoenix to the highest peaks.” InspirationSuccessMotivationChallengesFailureMistakesTriumph Book:The Quintessence: The Magical Fifth Element Source: The Quintessence: The Magical Fifth Element
“Isn’t it time be a hero, one that your yourself have created and defined? Isn’t it time to be the god you have it within you to be? Leave the broken world behind. Create a new world. This time one that isn’t screwed. Let’s stop being as mad as hell. Let’s stop the decline of humanity into increasing craziness. Let’s create a Society of Quality, a Society of Excellence, a Society of Self-Actualization. Above all, a Society of Divine Humanity, where we have given glorious expression to the divine spark that resides within us all.” InspirationMotivationHeavenHellHeroMadnessNew World OrderDivine Society Book:Mad as Hell: Why Everything is Getting Crazier Source: Mad as Hell: Why Everything is Getting Crazier
