Famous Sol Luckman Quotes

“Turn off notifications for a day, log out for a while, go for a walk in the real world, mindfully appreciate the taste of your coffee for a change, unplug. Read a book, people-watch, have a face-to-face conversation with an actual human being, and remember that there’s much more to life than likes and followers, selfies and influencers, thank goodness.”

“We need to recognize that social media is far more than just a harmless distraction or handy tool. Rather, it has been brilliantly architected as a comprehensive net or web for the mind that can be used to alter our thoughts and behaviors, and from there redirect the creative focus of our attention, usually without our even realizing it.”

“Not all tugs on our attention are benign—far from it on today’s digitized High Seas. It should be obvious, even to those skeptical of most conspiracy theories, that there are individuals and entities ‘from the Deep’ who seek to manipulate our focus for their gain. They exploit our fears, insecurities and desires, bombarding us with negativity and hopelessness, and rarely, if ever, looking on the bright side. Coincidence? I think not.”

“Be wary of information sources that consistently evoke fear, anger, or outrage. Be cautious also of ones that yo-yo followers between such negative states and positive ones, only to repeat this whipsaw cycle again and again. Question the motives behind the messages you consume. I’m sorry to say it, but there’s a good chance you’ll find hidden agendas almost everywhere that don’t support you or humanity. Ask yourself whether the messages directed your way are designed to empower you or keep you trapped in a vicious cycle of always seeing the glass as half full.”

“When you give doomsday or other fearmongering cults your attention, just your attention, simply by listening to their words, and certainly by subscribing to them, sending them likes, shares, follows and even money, you’re offering up your precious power in promotion of Doomsday.”

“When you invest your attention in a particular line of ‘truthing,’ you’re choosing to buy into (energetically support or pay for with your attention) somebody (or something) else’s narrative, simple as that. We can easily extrapolate this dynamic even to works of literature, movies, shows, music and other forms of mind manipulation on whose altars you offer up the sacred gift of your attention. When you think about it this way, human sacrifice is more prevalent today than ever!”

“This ‘reality’ is so obviously unreal. It’s like bad screenplay writing. No matter how many times you see the same tired script playing out on the world stage, if you can manage to think for yourself just a little, it’s simply not believable.”

“Epigenetics reveals that your body isn’t a genetically predetermined flesh robot, but is regulated by a set of gene switches that can be turned on or off—by you—mindfully. Ergo, our genes aren’t our destiny. We have far more control over their expression than most ever imagined.”

“Wu wei is about aligning ourselves with the natural flow of life, letting go of control, and allowing things to unfold organically. To the extent that we’re usually our own worst enemy, wu wei is definitely about getting out of our own way.”

“To have a knee-jerk reaction to technology is to think like a victim. This is how the Dragon wants you to think—in all ways at all times. Its entire control apparatus is predicated on your tacit or explicit acceptance of victim mentality. I’d argue that this even applies to the world’s predatory class, the so-called elites, those puffed-up minions who, while they may get a rush out of preying on others, must on some level suspect they themselves are ultimately just Dragon food. But we, not technology, and not even the Dragon, are the real creators here. The Dragon knows this. That’s why it uses us to build its world for it, since apparently it can’t do so on its own—and it’s high time we figured this out for ourselves.”

“By standing up to our fears, examining our darkness and reassembling our fragmented selves, we undergo a profound metamorphosis ... provided we’re up to the challenge of seeing the world for what it is: a product of our own projections that have been manipulated for something else’s benefit.”

“The inorganic intelligence calling the shots in this place uses people’s own powerfully creative psyches to generate an energy farm (which we rather cavalierly call the world) to sustain … itself! Truly, the masses—like thrashing, masochistic puppets controlled from above by emotional strings—are living in a hell of their own largely unconscious making.”

“The Dragon doesn’t sleep. It doesn’t need to because humanity provides it with a limitless source of energy. The creature’s lidless eye, like Sauron’s, is forever fixed on us, controlling (indeed, mimetically programming us with) our every thought, emotion, and belief—that is, until we awaken ourselves from its spell by going inward on our way out of here.”

“If you’re sensitive to the flow of energy and semantics, you can unambiguously feel the Dragon at work in all things internet, blockchain, and AI. Quite literally, like a control freak of leviathan proportions, the Dragon is casting a ‘net’ over humanity to keep our minds ‘chained’ to the ‘block’ as our ‘intelligence’ becomes more and more ‘artificial,’ or not our own.”

“But even if we ignore the Dragon’s energy harvesting through cultivation of varying levels of mental illness in its human herd, we can safely say there’s a complex web of tech companies, advertisers and governments all trying, spider-like, to trap our attention for a variety of reasons—most of which probably aren’t in our best interests. Tech companies want to keep us super-glued to our screens at all costs, advertisers want to sell us stuff we don’t need, and governments … Well, let’s just say that these artificial entities explicitly designed to govern the mente (mind) aren’t exactly hiding (except in plain sight) their primary agenda.”

“Put down your smartphone, smell the roses, and—as Gandalf instructs King Théoden when the latter emerges from Wormtongue’s hypnotic spell in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Tolkien—‘breathe the free air again, my friend.”

“Finally, we entered Chetaube County, my imaginary birthplace, where the names of the little winding roads and minuscule mountain communities never failed to inspire me: Yardscrabble, Big Log, Upper, Middle and Lower Pigsty, Chicken Scratch, Cooterville, Felchville, Dust Rag, Dough Bag, Uranus Ridge, Big Bottom, Hooter Holler, Quickskillet, Buck Wallow, Possum Strut ... We always say a picture speaks a thousand words, but isn’t the opposite equally true?”

“A nauseating display of statist brainwashing anywhere, Independence Day is especially trying on my small island.

“He knew perfectly well (even if he wasn’t inclined to admit it) that the material body had a spiritual aspect. He knew that “spirit,” however explained, was real, because of his own undeniable experiences—which, though he might suppress them, he couldn’t altogether erase from memory.”

“If you want your physical, mental, emotional and eventually spiritual circumstances to transform completely, perhaps even beyond your wildest dreams, be willing to step out of your comfort zone onto the dance floor of your own mindfully chosen life.”
