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.”

“If our desire is to enjoy and perhaps eventually transcend the Matrix, we must select with great circumspection the thoughts we wish to energize and direct our focus only toward that which invigorates and empowers us. Anything else simply isn’t … worth your attention.”

“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.”
― 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.”

“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.”

“Used skillfully, silence becomes a shield against negativity and manipulation.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

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

“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

“Quantum physics, the study of the universe at its most
minute level, unveils a startlingly different picture from
what today’s hyper-materialist humans so glibly dub reality.”
― 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

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

“Make a video or write a blog post of your own vision of a positive future to energize a different outcome.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“An analogy for conceptualizing how ‘truthing’ functions is that research in the Matrix might be said to merely create rabbit holes that go ever deeper into … the Matrix.

In a mind-bending ‘aikido’ move, the Matrix makes it so that the closer ‘truthers’ and other mundane researchers feel they are to the ‘truth,’ the further they technically are from it.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Psychonauts may reference what is taken for reality, as we all must do if we wish to communicate with one another. But they don’t seek answers there—as they grok that the construct is a funhouse of creative mirrors that merely reflect back to us the ‘real’ that we see in them.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Regardless of whether they desire to be of service to humanity, ‘truthers’—despite any and all metaphysical leanings—by definition succumb to a critical error that makes them part of the problem, not the solution: adherence to something ostensibly real, a ‘real truth’ in a manifestly contrived mindscape.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Like it or not, we’re doomed or blessed—depending on your perspective—to inhabit an eternally looping circuit that involves our thoughts, innermost desires, actions, etc., in telling back to us the story we’re telling about our lives—individually and collectively.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“By using a toolkit of brainwashing tactics for tapping into mimetic desire in order to energize the power of collective belief in … whatever (a ‘scientific’ model, a version of ‘history,’ a conspiracy theory, etc.), ‘truthers’ aren’t discovering ‘truth’ … They’re just making shit real.

That, my friends, in a sound bite, is how this world, on personal as well as communal levels, manifests.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Truthers’ are experts (conscious or otherwise) at
promoting doomsday and other negative and/or limiting outcomes through manufactured consent that works exactly the same way as today’s mainstream press that delivers subjectively driven, outcome-generating narratives in lieu of objectively reported news.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Truthing’ inevitably leads to disempowerment in which people, lured by the false promise of solutions, are tricked into stepping outside themselves again and again for answers to their personal and collective dilemmas—when the only way out is in.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Always, always, always put ‘science’ in quotes.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“In maintaining a faulty, reason-based mindset,
‘truthers’ do a number of disservices to themselves, their message and their followers here in this subjective construct in which objectivity is merely a myth of overweening ‘science.”
― 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.”
