Get Out of Here Alive Quotes

“In today’s mesmerizing digital landscape, our attention is madly sought after. Algorithms are ingeniously designed to keep us hooked like addicts by feeding us mainlines tailored to hold us captive—in mind and perhaps eventually even in body.”

“For most of the population these days, the only thing that ever dances is a pair of thumbs texting. No wonder people are aging so fast on the Ship of Fools sailing Titanic-like through today into no tomorrow.

As people’s souls shrink through lack of movement, their connective tissue hardens and their bones turn brittle. This isn’t metaphoric. This is the mind-body-spirit connection on full display, for anyone who cares to contemplate its cause and effects, in real time.”

“What will you say when the Grim Reaper suddenly appears and asks, ‘What do you have to show for your life?’

In a world of many time-consuming pursuits, most utterly inane and many major drags on our creative potential, if your answer is ‘Not much,’ it’s at least worth considering that you’ve spent your time wisely.”

“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.”

“When we resist the urge to respond impulsively, and plant ourselves in our center as opposed to grasping at straws outside ourselves, we tap into a wellspring of inner fortitude.

Such mindful silence allows us to detach from the heat of the moment and respond with clarity rather than reactivity. Choosing silence more and more, we lose less and less energy to ‘dumb shit,’ as I like to say, while intelligently reclaiming our power faster and faster.”

“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.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Always bear in mind that the only person whose judgement matters is yourself. If you can learn to transform self-judgment into good judgment, a.k.a. wise circumspection, you’ve clearly shaken off some of the Dragon’s spell and already have one foot halfway out the door of this construct.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“The possibility of waking up from (or even in) the dream offers a glimmer of hope, a sense that there’s more to existence than this mundane rat race. It suggests that we’re not just NPCs, non-player characters in a preprogrammed reality—but that, instead, we’re capable of becoming truly conscious players with the power to shape our own destinies.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“In essence, ‘truthers’—by doggedly searching for the Holy Grail of an external absolute—perpetuate the fatal snafu of separating the Creator from the created.

But … the Creator and the created are one creature: the ouroboros forever consuming and producing itself simultaneously.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Nothing can ultimately be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt—except to oneself via the wisdom, or gnosis, of personal experience—and anything and everything can be easily ‘debunked’ by the cavalier exercise of the fraudulent dieu du jour, reason.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“The ‘reality’ misconception can take various forms. The
two most common are materialism, in which a ‘real world’ somehow manages to exist before or without anyone’s awareness of it; and religion, in which a divine being or force remains in a world miraculously outside … the world.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“My position—one I share with countless mystics, yogis, shamans, alchemists, and other way-outside-the-boxers—is that there’s no verifiable ‘outside’ reality, no tangible ‘home base’ in the real.

Instead, there’s only a simulacrum or, more accurately perhaps, a simulation-style dreamscape mimicking an actual physical world inside an infinity (the Dark Sea of Awareness) of similarly attention-generated constructs.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Is manifestation always getting exactly what your ego wants? I don’t think so. Manifestation is, in my opinion, getting exactly what the wiser part of you knows you need. And then the less wise part of yourself has to deal with the aftereffects.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Solipsism is the idea that (to use a well-worn phrase) there’s only one of us here, a creative consciousness forever experiencing permutations of itself … for whatever reason.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“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.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Reality is like magic. Because it is. Thanks to your magical attention. See how this works?”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“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.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“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.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“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.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“When you step back from it, you realize that the whole
idea of so many fearful conspiracies proliferating like
harmful bacteria everywhere isn’t just surreal or overkill, it’s ludicrous.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Hope panhandles while fear sells like hotcakes.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Our individual attention is exceedingly powerful, no doubt about it. But when our attentions (plural) come together in an aligned group, we’re looking at the nuclear option, creative or destructive potential on a monumental scale.”
