Famous Sol Luckman Quotes

“So many things are put out to make it seem as if we’re helpless victims of this crazy Matrix. This is the purpose of such lopsided half-truths as the popular (and for that reason alone, highly dubious) notion that we’re stuck against our will in a ‘soul trap’ or ‘reincarnation trap’ that most people will never escape.”

“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 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.”

“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.”
