Sacred Cause Quotes

“There’s no point in waiting for Godot. He never arrives. That’s the whole point. 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”

“Serving a cause means immersing yourself in it. It’s what you have chosen to devote yourself to. It’s not a hobby, a distraction, an amusement, a diversion, a way of passing your time. It’s your actual identity ... the one you have consciously and deliberately chosen for yourself, in exclusion of all others. It hasn’t been chosen by your parents for you, or by your friends for you, or by your community for you. You, no one else, has made the commitment. It’s your choice, your decision. It reflects your worldview, your chosen idea of how to lead your life. Your sacred cause is the meaning of your life, so you had better get it right.”

“We are Evolution. We are the Revolution. We have come to revalue all values. It’s time to get off your knees. Friends, fellow gods and goddesses, it’s time to rise. Join our Sacred Cause. Transform this world. Undergo the ultimate personal and collective metamorphosis. The old gods are dead. We are the new gods. On whose side will you stand on the fateful fields of Armageddon? Will you support the evil tyrants of the past, or will you make your stand shoulder to shoulder with those who will never serve any gods but will instead become gods themselves?”

“Boldness, boldness, always boldness. Join us. Join the advance guard of humanity. Join Higher Humanity, HyperHumanity. We are the plan, we are the future. Our sacred cause is to make humanity divine. We are here to enlighten the world, to immanentize the eschaton on earth, to create the community of gods, the society of the divine. We are the Protogenoi, the first generation of the coming gods and goddesses. It is our solemn duty to create all the other gods and goddesses.”

“People who haven’t found their sacred cause just drift from one thing to another. They may be consumed by a sudden passion and enthusiasm for something, believing they have at last found their sacred cause, but the feeling doesn’t last, and soon they move on to the next thing. Some people of this kind simply never find their sacred cause and end up as the ultimate cynics, skeptics, nihilists and atheists. They are totally embittered and negative, and frequently heavy users of alcohol and drugs to numb their pain. Nothing is more important than finding your sacred cause. You are lost without it. When you have assumed a sacred cause, you at last feel aligned with your soul itself. You feel real, valid, authentic, true and right, no longer fake, phoney, fraudulent, false and wrong.”

“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?”
