A mind is a place unto itself, and can make a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven
... Better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven. Satan, John Milton’s Paradise lost
What havoc has been made of books through every century of the Christian era? Where are fifty gospels, condemned as spurious by the bull of Pope Gelasius? Where are the forty wagon-loads of Hebrew manuscripts burned in France, by order of another pope, because suspected of heresy? Remember the ‘index expurgatorius,’ the inquisition, the stake, the axe, the halter and the guillotine...The Christian god can be easily pictured as virtually the same as the many ancient gods of past civilisations. The Christian god is a three-headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the calibre of the people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites. John Adams
In your prayers, remember: your Soul is your nearest, and the bringer of all good things. Your God is stone deaf. Austin Osman Spare
We are the greatest God that ever was or ever will be. Christs and Buddhas are but waves on the boundless ocean which I am. Bow down to nothing but your Self. Until you know that you are the very God of gods, there will never be any freedom for you. Swami Vivekanda
The biggest weakness of all is not knowing your weaknesses. Vexen Crabtree, from Satanic Power
