Famous Sol Luckman Quotes

“The world we see ‘out there’ is a reflection of our cleverly molded shared consciousness, our collective belief installed through manipulation of our mimetic desire, not a given ‘thing’ that can’t be changed. This means, as in the adage, that we can heal the world only if we heal ourselves.”

“Recalling his first dreams of flight when he was a small child, Max acknowledged that his entire existence had been building up to this tipping point where he could finally choose to release his self-imposed limitations.”

“Whether we like it or not, we’re walking placebo and nocebo generators, able to create health miracles or disasters (usually without even realizing we’re the ones doing so) practically in the blink of an eye.”

“My position is that, on at least a subliminal level, even many of the most benighted sheeple (the really stubborn ones I think of as the ‘consciously clueless’) secretly suspect that they’re corralled in a system designed to control them, to keep them in check. But I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be this way. We have the power to change our circumstances individually and maybe, just maybe, collectively.”

“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.”

“One could argue that the observer effect is the primary energetic dynamic of ‘reality’ itself. This effect showcases the eminently malleable nature of the LEGO pieces of our world—atoms—as material objects that appear to become so only through an act of creative focus. This may strain credulity, but at the fundamental level of energy, it’s just how ‘things’ are.”

“From the perspective of consciousness expansion, it’s actually a service to us to have so much weirdness thrown at us like classic slapstick pies in the face … over and over again. The weirdness might very well be—it’s at least worth considering—part of our own design from some higher aspect of ourselves to wake us up here in the dream of this so-called reality.”

“The boundary between dreams and reality gets muddy indeed when we consider the nature of our perceptions. Our senses, those windows to the world, are far from perfect instruments that are extremely susceptible to manipulation and misinterpretation. What we perceive as unquestionably solid and real could be nothing more than smoke and mirrors, projections of our own psyches.”

“There comes a time, a sort of epiphany … when you realize that everything you’ve discovered through your ‘research’ has basically been fed to you because you’ve been looking for it! We’re in a complex feedback loop ... that reveals to us an imaginary ‘reality’ that we choose to buy into … just before it becomes our lived ‘reality.”

“The very act of doubting our reality indicates a flicker of suspicion, a seed of uncertainty germinating in our subconscious. Perhaps this nagging sense of unease, this wondering if something isn’t altogether as it should be, is a clue, a whisper from the wellspring of our being that there’s more to this existence than meets the eye.”

“What if the world we inhabit—with all its confounding complexities and contradictions—is nothing more than an elaborate stage set, a grand illusion orchestrated by a poorly understood force? If this were true, how could we possibly know for certain? What signs or signals might betray the actual nature of our world and our place in it?”
