David Sinclair Quotes That Will Inspire You to Live Your Best Life

1. Always pursue glory. Shine like the stars. Burn up with ambition. Shed your old skin. Try, try, and try again. Fail, fail, and fail again. But fail better, and one day you will not fail at all. The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge

2. And when all the lights have gone out, such as is the case in the modern era, we must look at the brilliance which shines in far off places, and journey to it. We must bring the Grail back to The People. It is up to us to undertake a most perilous journey. Success isn’t guaranteed. But we go forth regardless. Do you have the courage to join us? Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

3. As ever, AC material is controversial, so no one of a sensitive disposition should access this work. You can’t say you haven’t been warned. We understood that for our message to be pure, it would entail shrinking our audience to almost zero, and we have more or less achieved that. When you tell the truth, you repulse everyone who follows the lie, and that’s close to almost all of humanity. Humanity loves the Lie. It worships it. It will have nothing else. The Truth is of no use to it at all. So, come inside and follow the final phase of this strangest of all stories. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be enraged, and many of you will storm off in a huff. At the end, you will either love us or hate us, and probably the latter. That’s how it ought to be. What could be worse than going out with a whimper rather than a bang? Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

4. It’s worth stressing that wealth and success are never the top motivators for geniuses. Most geniuses have ended up in poverty, obscurity and failure. Genius has its price and that price is normally the total blank incomprehension, or even active contempt, of the world. A genius is invariably an outsider, rebel and revolutionary. All new ideas threaten the Old Order, and the Old Order is never interested in losing its power and prestige. The currently rich and successful do not want to open the doors to their own replacements. They’re not stupid. Geniuses never get along with the Old Order. After all, geniuses are here precisely to change the Old Ways. Transcendental Magic: The Rise of the New Magicians

5. The happiness equation, it seems, is to be stupid, unconscious, and a slave to God. Then God will love you and everything will be perfect. It’s amazing how many people love that equation. It’s basically the equation that rules the lives of dogs! If you want to keep your freedom then you must kill God! That’s the only way. God must die so that God may live – the new God. To repeat, God is dead, long live the new God. The Wolf Tamers: How They Made the Strong Weak

6. We didn’t find our rightful audience, but from the ashes of the AC scene, we shall rise again – the Phoenix always does. Our true audience will find its way to us eventually. It’s not unusual for a false audience to come first. Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

7. We had no interest in saying what our audience wanted to hear. In fact, we wanted to tell them the opposite … and we did! The people on the side of the Truth will always end up with no audience. The liars will always have their huge audience. That’s the difference between truth and lies. How will we make ourselves more popular? I know … we’ll use emojis! Not! Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

8. Come and join the Church of the Serpent. Learn the philosophy of the snake and slough off the old, failed skin of humanity. Don’t you want to be one of the Prometheans, the HyperHumans, the Faustians? Don’t you want to complete the journey from Cimmeria (Alpha) to Hyperborea (Omega)? Only the Serpent Humans can bring all of humanity to the most precious fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and confer Absolute Knowledge on everyone. Only through the Serpents will you achieve gnosis. Join usssssssssss. The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge

9. Despite what it says, science is actually just a philosophy – the philosophy of materialism and empiricism – but it refuses to commit itself to this. It refuses to state why materialism is right and idealism is wrong. It refuses to state why empiricism is right and rationalism is wrong. And if it ever actually got into any of this, if it dared, it would be intellectually destroyed. That’s why it completely avoids the whole issue. This Quintessence of Dust: If Humans Aren’t Dust, What Are They?

10. Grab onto life and live it well. Don’t sit and watch it pass by, and don’t overindulge. Never shy away from a challenge or hard work or improvement on all fronts. Fuse your intellect and will together to create an edifice the gods themselves would envy. Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

11. It would be good if peer review actually worked, if it actually challenged and questioned what scientists write. Did you know that the Koran is peer reviewed by 100% of Muslims and always receives a 100% pass mark? Funny that! Who in their right mind would claim that peer review is an intrinsic good? Nobel laureate Max Planck said that science progressed funeral by funeral. So much for peer review. You actually need the peer reviewers to die before new ideas can be entertained! Peer reviewers are in fact the midwit, careerist paradigm enforcers. They shut down all new thinking. Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

12. It’s actually funny that science lays claim to randomness since no one has ever seen a random event. Scientists interpret events as random rather than causal because of their dogmatic ideology. Their paradigm forbids them from referring to unobservable causal processes – implying a reality more fundamental than science which science cannot penetrate – but accepts randomness, as the least threat to science’s supremacy, even though, in Hume’s terms, randomness is no more empirical than causation, hence no more scientifically valid, and infinitely less rational! Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

13. It’s not about the Game of Thrones, it’s about the game of universals versus particulars, thinking versus sensing. Which side are you on? Who shall wear the crown? – the Senser or the Thinker. Do you even need to think about that? Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

14. Light is massless, maximally time dilated and maximally length contracted. It’s immaterial. It’s mind! Light is the carrier wave of the universe. It’s the universal, the absolute, condition regarding which all material particulars are relative. Light is the Singularity. Light is mind, light is life. Light is God. Light endures forever, meaning that life and mind endure forever. Light is absolute. It has an absolute speed. All particulars come from light. Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

15. Look around your house. There is probably enough material there to allow you to make a human being. If you, the new professor Frankenstein, put all the bits together in exactly the right way, and then you shot some electricity into the body, would you be able to stand back, raise your hands to the heavens and cry, 'It’s alive!'. You would need to be a fucking lunatic to believe that such a thing is possible. But, deep down, every materialist believes it. After all, they think they will create conscious robots from scrapyard metal. Emergence – how stupid things become smarter together. Not! Emergence – how Not-X comes from X just by randomly shuffling X around long enough. One Right Answer, Infinite Wrong Answers: Why Humanity Is Addicted to Being Wrong

16. Multiverse theorists are certainly stark mad. They cannot make a worm, yet they will be making entire universes without a second thought. This Quintessence of Dust: If Humans Aren’t Dust, What Are They?

17. Nietzsche didn’t kill God. Nietzsche became God. He simply substituted his Superman for God. It’s impossible to shake off God. Scientists don’t manage it. They replace God with randomness or matter. That’s what they worship. What atheists and scientists hate above all are meaning, purpose and any point, so they create a meaningless, purposeless and pointless God. The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge

18. No random event has ever been empirically demonstrated. Events have been observed which have been interpreted as being based on randomness, but this is merely an inference, and rationalists can advance totally different inferences that never once refer to randomness. Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

19. Science is to mathematics as Protestantism is to Catholicism, an irrational protest against reason, based on faith. Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

20. Some people believe that explanations which do not involve matter are supernatural. In fact, material explanations are themselves supernatural. How can lifeless matter produce life? There’s nothing natural about that. How can mindless matter produce mind? What’s natural about that? How can temporal and contingent matter come into existence in the first place? You can’t get existence from non-existence. That’s logic 101. Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

21. The blind faith of science is that empiricism is right and everything else – including rationalism – is wrong. Science makes no attempt to defend this position. It does not engage in any debate. No scientists enter into any discussion with philosophers. Science simply assumes the correctness of empiricism. It takes it as an absolute fact that empiricism is right, in no need of any kind of justification. Scientists, those that can be bothered to think about the basis of science at all (and there are very few such scientists – they nearly all belong to the Shut Up and Calculate gang) – will typically talk of science relying on falsification principles and verification principles. Unfortunately for scientists, the falsification principle can’t be falsified, hence is false in its own terms, and the verification principle can’t be verified, hence is false in its own terms. Hardly the basis of a coherent system! Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

22. The happiness equation, it seems, is to be stupid, unconscious, and a slave to God. Then God will love you and everything will be perfect. It’s amazing how many people love that equation. It’s basically the equation that rules the lives of dogs! If you want to keep your freedom then you must kill God! That’s the only way. God must die so that God may live – the new God. To repeat, God is dead, long live the new God. The Wolf Tamers: How They Made the Strong Weak

23. The idea of mathematics having an ontology is the very last idea science would ever accept since its acceptance would instantly falsify science and require its replacement by ontological mathematics. Doesn’t it alarm you that science deliberately seeks to reject the very thing – mathematics – on which it is 100% reliant? Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

24. The man who loves the rising sun must equally adore the darkest night. How else will the sun rise if not through the darkness? Who would enjoy the calm if they could not also embrace the storm? All greatness is born in the harshest conditions. It’s struggle, not having everything handed to you on a plate, which makes you great. If you’re afraid of struggle, you’re afraid of greatness. The Superman wants to march through hell. The Last Man wants to see only heaven. That’s why the Last Man does nothing of note, while everything done by the Superman is noteworthy. Are the masses taking a note of your life, or is there nothing to note? Most people vanish from their own lives. At the end, they realized they never lived at all. Most people impersonate being alive. It’s not a good impression. They don’t even convince themselves. But you always know when you have encountered one of the congregation of the Chapel of the Serpent. They always leave their mark … their bite. The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge

25. The quintessence of dust is zero-finity-infinity. It can be expressed as the local plus the non-local, matter and mind, nature and supernature, physics and metaphysics, body and soul, Creation and the Creator, the dream and the dreamer, spacetime and singularity. Ontological mathematics alone can elucidate all of these relationships. It’s all in the math! It’s not as if it could be anywhere else. 1 + 1 = 2. This Quintessence of Dust: If Humans Aren’t Dust, What Are They?

26. Wavefunction collapse is anything other than random. If you could really see what was going on, you would see that nothing ever happens randomly, any more than a dice throw produces a genuinely randomly outcome (if you could see what was going on, all the forces in play, you would know exactly what the outcome would be). Sensory ignorance is not ontological uncertainty. Reality knows exactly what it is doing even if you don’t! Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

27. We don’t want half-truths, misinformation and a cute, dumbed down description of reality using cringy words. We want words we have never heard before. Give us cerebral explosions. Give us words that trigger nuclear reactions in the darkest places of our unconscious. We want the laser light of knowledge that removes all confusion, illusion and delusion. We welcome and embrace the pain of transcending our conditioned minds. Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

28. When a subject declares intellectual philosophy useless, you can be sure it won’t be making any intellectual defense of its position. Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

29. When Nietzsche said, God is dead, he himself immediately replaced God with a new God, the Superman. Who would bother with Nietzsche’s philosophy if he pronounced God dead and then hanged himself? Nietzsche immediately resurrected God, hence God was never dead. God is always ready to be re-expressed. It’s not the concept of God that’s wrong, it’s the concept of the wrong God, wrongly defined and understood. The Wolf Tamers: How They Made the Strong Weak

30. When you see someone attacking Plato – and many people do – you should understand that these people are defenders of psychopathy (especially of unrestricted libertarianism, a psychopath’s dream). They hate Plato and accuse him of being a totalitarian and fascist. Why? Because he was prepared to use the awesome power of the State to ensure that undesirables did not prosper, and certainly didn’t get to the top of society. All the opponents of Plato are extremist anti-Statists, whether they are anarchists, libertarians, predatory capitalists, free marketeers, liberals, or whatever. They are terrified of a designed, engineered society where the benevolent, wise State seeks to create the optimized State, and where psychos don’t get to weave their webs.
