Abraxas Quotes

“Closely related to as above, so below is as inside, so outside. This asserts that the outer world is a reflection of what is inside our minds. If the world is evil it is because evil predominates in the minds of humanity. If the world is trivial and childish, it is because most of us are trivial and childish. If the world is seen to be spoiled, self-indulgent and always seeking instant gratification, it’s because we are all of those things. The world merely externalises the inner traits of humanity. The institutions we create that shape our world are in turn shaped by the contents of our minds.”
― Michael Faust, Abraxas: Beyond Good And Evil

“We are God but we don’t know it. We have to evolve this realization over many lifetimes (via reincarnation), overcoming all of the forces that prevent us from seeing the true nature of things. At the point of enlightenment, we will finally perceive that we, beings that have always existed just as God has, are identical with God.”
― Michael Faust, Abraxas: Beyond Good And Evil

“A new global religious narrative should be constructed centred on the principle that every human has the potential to become God, not in the far distant future but within just one or two lifetimes. The idea of humanity as inherently sinful should be replaced with the psychologically much healthier concept of humanity as inherently divine (hence not sinful). There should be no more humans on their knees, abjectly bowing to a God who threatens everyone with eternal punishment. Instead, the whole of humanity should be engaged in Global Alchemy – transforming the raw material of themselves into the most shining and precious gold of divinity.”
