“We are all glittering stars and one day we will come together in the brightest star of all â€� God himself. This is humanity’s destiny. Is that not an inspiring vision of humanity? We are not mere humans; we are divine beings, a community of gods en route to becoming God himself”
― Michael Faust, The Right-Brain God

“Welcome to the Church of the Serpent. The universe is the Tree of Knowledge. At the top of the tree is the Golden Bough with which we attain Golden Knowledge, the Apex Knowledge of the cosmos. So, we must climb. All the way to the highest consciousness. The Church of the Serpent is devoted to knowledge â€� ultimate knowledge, the knowledge of existence itself. We must have Absolute Knowledge. Nothing else will suffice. Completion, or nothing. From the top of the Tree of Knowledge, we shall command all knowledge. Like Faust, we will make a pact with any force to reach our goal. Like Prometheus, we will steal from the gods and risk any punishment to secure our ends. Like the Cimmerians, we will travel from the deepest darkness, where the sun never shines, to the brightest light. Like the Hyperboreans, we seek the perfect land where the sun always shines, yet we Hyperborean Apollonians must be able to return to Dionysian Cimmeria to enjoy the intoxication of the dark.”

“It’s time to make your stand. It’s you against the world. It’s you contra mundum. This world is hell, but good, rational people of strong will can convert it into paradise.”
― Adam Weishaupt, Contra Mundum

“The temple, or the house of God, truly lies within us rather than outside.”
― Michael Faust, The God Within Me

“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 â€� transforming the raw material of themselves into the most shining and precious gold of divinity.”
― Michael Faust, Abraxas: Beyond Good And Evil

“Randomness and Multiverses are acts of sheer intellectual desperation. If you can’t explain something then say it is one instance of an infinite ensemble of all possible outcomes. That, in fact, is an anti-explanation. It’s the equivalent of giving the answer “Godâ€� to everything. It simply begs the question. Just as any reference to God as the explanation of everything evades the logical need to explain God himself, so any reference to ALL possibilities being realized evades any explanation of why that should be the case. But science has nowhere else to turn since it has denied God, mathematics, logic and sufficient reason! Illuminism, on the other hand, gives a sufficient reason for everything and states the precise logic involved. We have hidden nothing from view. In the God Series of books, we have shown how existence is logically inevitable. There is NOTHING random about it.”
― Mike Hockney, The God Secret

“How did they meet? By chance, like everyone else. What were their names? What’s it to you? Where did they come from? The nearest place. Where were they going? Do we know where we’re going? What did they say? The master said nothing; and Jacques said that his captain said that everything good and bad that happens to us down here was written up there.”
― Denis Diderot, Jacques le fataliste et son maître: Un roman de Denis Diderot

“Are you ready to transform yourself? Are you ready to be one of the Special Ones, the Illuminated Ones? Are you ready to play the God Game? Only the strongest, the smartest, the boldest, can play. This is not a drill. This is your life. Stop being what you have been. Become what you were meant to be. See the Light. Join the Hyperboreans. Become a HyperHuman. Only the highest, only the noblest, only the most courageous are called. A new dawn is coming... the birth of Hyperreason. It’s time to enter Hyperreality.”
― Thomas Stark, The Sheldrake Shift: A Critical Evaluation of Morphic Resonance

“If we didn’t catch enough fish, or fish of high enough quality, too bad. That’s life. No one has the right to win. Victory has to be fought for. It needs a Fight Club, not a Flight Club.”
― Brother Abaris, The Illuminist Army

“The easiest way to start and lead the Revolution is to embody the Revolution both inner and outer. You have to become the cause itself. The best way to attract the greatest minds is to become one of them!”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“This is not a tree-sitting Buddhist Movement. You have go get up from under the tree and do something! You have to get off Facebook and do something!”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“It’s not about us, it’s about you. Talented people really can change the world, and all the people we have quoted in this book are talented. You have barely begun to explore your potential. The things you are capable of achieving will astound the world. Do it! Make it happen. Seriously, your capabilities are extraordinary. If you put your mind and your will to it, you will achieve the wonders of the world!”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“We succeed if you succeed ... so succeed. Nothing would please us more than for those who have appreciated our work to exceed it, to excel, to be marvels. Our success is your success. Your success is our success. We are all in this together. We are here to provide the path. We want you to walk it and be all you can be.”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“Nothing will change your life more than joining a sacred cause and serving a higher purpose than yourself. And what cause could be greater and nobler than that of the Truth itself?”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“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.”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“Never forget, when you come to AC/GS, you are entering the dark, mysterious, complex, daunting, forbidding â€� but infinitely inspiring and perfect world â€� of INTJs. We can take you from Cimmeria to Hyperborea. Do not expect an easy ride. Don’t bring emotionalism and irrationalism. Let the most powerful ideas in the world wash over you and enlighten you. And then help us make our vision even brighter, enough to light up this whole benighted world.”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“It’s up to Illuminists alone. No one else is coming. We are against everyone. We are enormously outnumbered and surrounded, yet victory is certain to be ours ... because we are the Gnostic Legion of Reason and Knowledge, and we shall command the cosmic forces that can defeat any odds.”
― Adam Weishaupt, Contra Mundum

“The Day of Victory is coming. We are the Coming Race. We are HyperHumanity. We are the Illuminati. Mark our words, we are coming. Not today, not tomorrow, but we are on our way. Vincit Omnia Veritas.”
― Adam Weishaupt, Contra Mundum

“The kingdom of God is within us. Now go inside yourself and find it!”
― Michael Faust, The God Within Me

“We are all glittering stars and one day we will come
together in the brightest star of all â€� God himself. This is humanity’s destiny. Is that not an inspiring vision of humanity? We are not mere humans; we are divine beings, a community of gods en route to becoming God himself.”
― Michael Faust, The Right-Brain God

“We are the new and improved Christians, those who actually understand Christianity. It has nothing to do with worshipping the Son of God, and everything to do with becoming God. Christianity is about making yourself Christ.”
― Michael Faust, Hegel: The Man Who Would Be God

“If the God Consciousness is at the centre of Indra’s Net and the diamonds of the net are our individual consciousnesses then his consciousness is in all of us, and ours in his. Ultimately, we and God are one. And that is the essence of enlightenment. That is the supreme prize awaiting us all.”
― Michael Faust, Eastern Religion For Western Gnostics

“Mathematics is the sole guarantor of rational truth. Even modern science bows to mathematics and it is precisely for that reason that religion and science can once again be brought back together. Mathematics is the glue that binds religion and science. It is the only religious language that science understands. All other religious statements are ridiculous nonsense. All
declarations of faith and revelation are preposterous and laughable. They are the essence of antimathematics, hence they are utterly false.”
― Adam Weishaupt, The Crystal Spheres of the Illuminati

“If you don’t have the highest ambitions, you will never achieve anything great. If you’re “realisticâ€� rather than “idealisticâ€�, you will inevitably accept failure because failure is always the realistic outcome of any undertaking. Samuel Beckett said, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.â€� That’s idealistic, not realistic. The realist would just give up. Illuminism is about aiming for the highest heights. If you prefer the plains, the lows, the average, the ordinary, the banal, the bland, the uncommitted, the neutral, the self-interested, the “realisticâ€�, Illuminism is not for you.”
― Mike Hockney, Richard Dawkins: The Pope of Unreason

“Such is our intelligence, that intelligence that lives on the illusion of an exponential growth of our stock.
Whereas the most probable hypothesis is that the human race merely has at its disposal, today, as it had yesterday, a general fund, a limited stock that redistributes itself across the generations, but is always of equal quantity.
In intelligence, we might be said to be infinitely superior, but in thought we are probably exactly the equal of preceding and future generations.
There is no privilege of one period over another, nor any absolute progress - there, at least, no inequalities. At species level, democracy rules.
This hypothesis excludes any triumphant evolutionism and also spares us all the apocalyptic views on the loss of the 'symbolic capital' of the species (these are the two standpoints of humanism: triumphant or depressed). For if the original stock of souls, natural intelligence or thought at humanity's disposal is limited, it is also indestructible. There will be as much genius, originality and invention in future periods as in our own, but not more - neither more nor less than in former ages.
This runs counter to two perspectives that are corollaries of each other: positive illuminism - the euphoria of Artificial Intelligence - and regressive nihilism - moral and cultural depression.”
― Jean Baudrillard, The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact

“We are the Hyperboreans, Faustians and Prometheans. All of these concern the light of reason, the fire of spirit, the insatiable lust for the highest and final things. This is what Illuminism is all about.”
― David Sinclair, Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

“The AC was all about bringing all great subjects together. The AC wasn’t some dreary, stuffy set of academic tomes. The books were written in letters of fire. The pages burned. Smoke rose from the covers. These were polemics and artworks and extravaganzas in soaring rhetoric. They were assassinations, denunciations, and deconstructions. They were about martyrs, saints and sinners, angels and demons. They were incendiary. They were dynamite. They blew up everything. Shouldn’t books be detonations? We must not have the blind leading the blind and the bland leading the bland. We must cross the rivers of hell, and swear our most solemn oaths over the black waters of the Styx.”
― David Sinclair, Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

“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?”
― David Sinclair, Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

“The leader of Hyperianism never mentions Illuminism. Not ever. And that’s because, if he ever did, he would be exposed as a messenger for others rather than the Savior he wants to pose as. His own narcissism and Messiah Complex have destroyed him because they have made him constantly lie about the fundamental basis of Hyperianism. His egotism forbade him from accepting the role he was supposed to have â€� that of messenger. He didn’t have his own message; he was delivering the message of others. That’s the blunt fact of it. There is nobility and worth in the messenger role, but the leader of Hyperianism wasn’t satisfied. He was compelled to present himself as the Main Man. He never was, and never will be.”
― David Sinclair, Without the Mob, There Is No Circus

“For the present, there is just one point to be made. No god has ever controlled man. Divine despotism is a fantasy, and so is most of that to which, in the illuminist and revolutionary interpretation, the world of Tradition owes its ordering from above and its orientation toward the above, its hierarchical system, its various forms of legitimate authority and sacral power. No - the true and essential foundation of this whole system is the particular inner structure, the capacity of recognition, and the various inborn interests of a type of man who nowadays has virtually disappeared. Man, at a given moment, wanted to "be free." He was allowed to be so, and he was allowed to throw off the chains that did not bind him so much as sustain him.”
