“Let us disobey the petrification of our mind before toxic thoughts transform our life into a matrix of numbers and columns and kills the bounciness of our drives, catching our future off guard. ("Digging for white gold")”

“Just as it is known
That an image of one's face is seen
Depending on a mirror
But does not really exist as a face,
So the conception of "I" exists
Dependent on mind and body,
But like the image of a face
The "I" does not at all exist as its own reality.”
― Nagarjuna

“Life is a useless passion, an exciting journey of a mammal in survival mode. Each day is a miracle, a blessing unexplored and the more you immerse yourself in light, the less you will feel the darkness. There is more to life than nothingness. And cynicism. And nihilism. And selfishness. And glorious isolation. Be selfish with yourself, but live your life through your immortal acts, acts that engrain your legacy onto humanity. Transcend your fears and follow yourself into the void instead of letting yourself get eaten up by entropy and decay. Freedom is being yourself without permission. Be soft and leave a lasting impression on everybody you meet”

“People fear that being trapped inside a box, they will miss out on all the wonders of the world. As long as Neo is stuck inside the matrix, and Truman is stuck inside the TV studio, they will never visit Fiji, or Paris, or Machu Picchu. But in truth, everything you will ever experience in life is within your own body and your own mind. Breaking out of the matrix or travelling to Fiji won’t make any difference. It’s not that somewhere in your mind there is an iron chest with a big red warning sign ‘Open only in Fiji!�� and when you finally travel to the South Pacific you get to open the chest, and out come all kinds of special emotions and feelings that you can have only in Fiji. And if you never visit Fiji in your life, then you missed these special feelings for ever. No. Whatever you can feel in Fiji, you can feel anywhere in the world; even inside the matrix.”

“Study yourself. Become your own mentor and best friend. When you are suffering stay at the bottom until you find out who you are. Let the storms come and pass. How you walk through the fire says a lot about you. Nobody likes a victimhood mentality and what happened to you is not important. It is about how you use your chaos that matters. The dawn will come”

“We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The Predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don't do so... I have been beating around the bush all this time, insinuating to you that something is holding us prisoner. Indeed we are held prisoner! "This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico ... They took us over because we are food for them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros. Therefore, their food is always available to them." "No, no, no, no," [Carlos replies] "This is absurd don Juan. What you're saying is something monstrous. It simply can't be true, for sorcerers or for average men, or for anyone." "Why not?" don Juan asked calmly. "Why not? Because it infuriates you? ... You haven't heard all the claims yet. I want to appeal to your analytical mind. Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradictions between the intelligence of man the engineer and the stupidity of his systems of beliefs, or the stupidity of his contradictory behaviour. Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of belief, our ideas of good and evil, our social mores. They are the ones who set up our hopes and expectations and dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed, and cowardice. It is the predators who make us complacent, routinary, and egomaniacal." "'But how can they do this, don Juan? [Carlos] asked, somehow angered further by what [don Juan] was saying. "'Do they whisper all that in our ears while we are asleep?" "'No, they don't do it that way. That's idiotic!" don Juan said, smiling. "They are infinitely more efficient and organized than that. In order to keep us obedient and meek and weak, the predators engaged themselves in a stupendous manoeuvre stupendous, of course, from the point of view of a fighting strategist. A horrendous manoeuvre from the point of view of those who suffer it. They gave us their mind! Do you hear me? The predators give us their mind, which becomes our mind. The predators' mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, filled with the fear of being discovered any minute now." "I know that even though you have never suffered hunger... you have food anxiety, which is none other than the anxiety of the predator who fears that any moment now its manoeuvre is going to be uncovered and food is going to be denied. Through the mind, which, after all, is their mind, the predators inject into the lives of human beings whatever is convenient for them. And they ensure, in this manner, a degree of security to act as a buffer against their fear." "The sorcerers of ancient Mexico were quite ill at ease with the idea of when [the predator] made its appearance on Earth. They reasoned that man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights, feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then, everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man. What I'm saying is that what we have against us is not a simple predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a methodical system to render us useless. Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He's an average piece of meat." "There are no more dreams for man but the dreams of an animal who is being raised to become a piece of meat: trite, conventional, imbecilic.”

“Why, Mr. Anderson?, Why, why?.

Why do you do it? Why, why get up?.


Why keep fighting?.


Do you believe you're fighting...for something?.

For more than your survival?.

Can you tell me what it is?.

Do you even know?; Is it freedom?, Or truth?.

Perhaps peace?. Could it be for love?


Illusions, Mr. Anderson.


Vagaries of perception.


Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose.

And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although... only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love.


You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson.

You must know it by now, You can't win.

It's pointless to keep fighting.


Why, Mr. Anderson?.


Why?, Why do you persist?.

“Christian Sia 5-Star Review

"AI Beast by Shawn Corey is a fascinating techno-thriller featuring AI technology and compelling characters. Professor Jon Edwards is a genius who intends to solve the problems of humanity, and this is the reason for creating Lex, an AI computer with incredible powers. While regulators are not sure of what she can do and despite the opposition from different quarters that Lex can be dangerous, the professor believes in its powers. Lex is supposed to be a rational, logical computer without emotions, capable of reproducing processes that can improve life. When she comes to life, she is incredibly powerful, but there is more to her than the professor has anticipated. After an accident, Jon awakens to the startling revelation that Lex might have a will of her own. What comes after is a compelling narrative with strong apocalyptic themes, intrigue, and a world that can either be run down or saved by an AI computer.

The novel is deftly plotted, superbly executed, and filled with characters that are not only sophisticated but that are embodiments of religious symbolism. While Lex manipulates reality and alters the minds of characters in mysterious ways, there are relationships that are well crafted. Readers will appreciate the relationship between the quantum computer science student Nigel and the professor and the professor's affair with his mother. While the narrative is brilliantly executed and permeated with realism, it explores the theme of Armageddon in an intelligent manner. AI Beast is gripping, a story with twisty plot points and a setting that transports readers beyond physical realities. The prose is wonderful, hugely descriptive, and the conflict is phenomenal. A page-turner that reflects Shawn Corey's great imagination and research.”

“No filme The Matrix, Neo finalmente encontra o criador da Matrix. Neo era “o escolhido��, e teria de definir quem vivia e quem morreria. Ele deveria aceitar a morte de todos, em nome de reiniciar a Matrix. O criador, decepcionado com sua criação, já havia destruído antes a Matrix. A Matrix era uma mentira contada aos habitantes. Eles vivem felizes, enquanto as máquinas os usavam como bateria humana. Neo, diferente dos outros, fez uma escolha diferente: ele voltou, não fugiu que nem Noé, covarde. Noé juntou algumas peças de animais e sua família, e ficou caladinho.”

“- Scream, will it help you?
- Do you remember my scream, little sister? My cry?
- Yes, I do. Wash your neck, something is dripping down.
- It's only a blood. Or perhaps a sweat. And maybe my makeup?"

"- Show me again how it was formed.
- But what, Matrix? What are you aiming for?
- I still don't know, Mother.
The easiest thing to do would be to trim Harris' wings. Then he won't fly too high or will fall..by his nature he is already fallen. He just won't rise.
- Last question, Mother, who really formed it?”

“The very act of doubting our reality indicates a flicker of suspicion, a seed of uncertainty germinating in our subconscious. Perhaps this nagging sense of unease, this wondering if something isn’t altogether as it should be, is a clue, a whisper from the wellspring of our being that there’s more to this existence than meets the eye.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“What if the world we inhabit—with all its confounding
complexities and contradictions—is nothing more than an elaborate stage set, a grand illusion orchestrated by a poorly understood force? If this were true, how could we possibly know for certain? What signs or signals might betray the actual nature of our world and our place in it?”

“If we’re indeed, like Neo in THE MATRIX, “living in a dream world,�� the inevitable questions then become: Can we wake up? If so, how do we wake up? What exactly awaits us if and when we do wake up?”

“To transcend this place, whatever, wherever and whenever it is, we must first travel inward through the wrinkles and folds of our own conscious, subconscious and unconscious minds.

In doing so while utilizing specific techniques, it’s possible to amass enough energy, or personal power, to fly outward beyond the confines of this reality construct with our consciousness intact.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Society’s members are psychically pressured into defining ‘true�� and ‘right�� based not on personal experience or direct gnosis (inner knowing), but on what the creators of social discourse put forward as ‘true�� and ‘right’—in other words, what to believe in—even in the absence of genuine logic or compelling evidence.

This situation leads—almost inevitably, it would seem—to the creation of a certain kind of top-down, pyramidal structure that controls society, culture and, given enough free rein, eventually the world itself.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“One could argue that the observer effect is the primary energetic dynamic of ‘reality�� itself.

This effect showcases the eminently malleable nature of the LEGO pieces of our world—atoms—as material objects that appear to become so only through an act of creative focus. This may strain credulity, but at the fundamental level of energy, it’s just how ‘things�� are.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“The observer effect puts our everyday perceptions and assumptions in a blender. It dictates—if we’re to be honest with ourselves, sober in our thinking, and not reactionary in our emotions—that the world we see is NOT the ultimate reality, but merely a projection of it.

From this perspective the manifest world is revealed as what Hindu mystics referred to as maya, illusion, the imaginal outpourings of minds—like children naturally playing in magical constructs that seem eminently real—simply doing what minds do.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“It’s possible to become so “real,�� so energetically sovereign, so full of power and magic that we can grow wings—figuratively anyway—and fly this chicken coop.

In other words, we can leave this delusional world (and the World Cult that sustains it) flapping in the breeze while exiting as increasingly self-realized beings.

Few will even attempt this feat of alchemical transmutation, I realize. But at the very least, we can get real in our understanding—or better, innerstanding—as we begin to collect the scattered fragments of ourselves we’ve left behind in our unconsciousness.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Before the coma cradled me, I mourned its shadow—a coma of the spirit, a weight I bore in silence, grieving a life I thought fixed by gravity’s unyielding hand. Then it came—light, vast as oceans, deep as stars—tearing through the shroud, unveiling a truth I’d wept to know: we are not bound, but buoyant, not falling, but rising in a unity that knows no edge. The coma showed me—beyond this illusion, all is one, a spark eternal, free of chains I’d mourned in blindness.”
― Yvonne Padmos

“The world can most definitely be changed, but not by using the materialist ways we’ve been taught designed to keep us beating our heads against the walls and bars of the ‘real world.��

To change this designedly dysfunctional construct, which our own co-opted creative attention is actually responsible for materializing and maintaining, we must first change ourselves.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality
