Friedrich Nietzsche
“God is a thought that makes everything straight crooked and everything that stands whirl.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Complete Works of Nietzsche: including Thus Spake Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Human All Too Human, The Birth of Tragedy, and many more

Angeliki Anagnostou - Kalogera
“This is why, Celestial Man, originating from the Aeon, in order to return back to IT, acts as follows: He denounces the prison of the body/grave which is forced upon him through birth. He maintains his balance, un-oscillating, in the change of time. He reinstates his soul to order, shutting the door behind him. He discovers the identity of ‘his Essence’ through self-knowledge (self-Epignosis) and walks toward his Aeon/Cosmos. There and then, he takes in the Unified Patrogenes Light (of the Father), and not the split quasi/substitute light (Ant-Avge) of Logos.”
Angeliki Anagnostou - Kalogera, Can You Stand The Truth?: The Chronicle of Man's Imprisonment: Last Call!

Angeliki Anagnostou - Kalogera
“Implantation of this extremely dangerous ‘element’ (biochip) will be accomplished by injection into the human organism in order to slowly mutate its structure. Using some ‘imperative need’ as pretext, they will convince the nations to accept it, even by masquerading it into something different from what it will actually be. This will be the marking of the beast (injection, puncture, scratching or ‘engraving’ of the skin, incision etc.) as John calls it in the Apocalypse {Tr. n.: In the original Greek version the word χάραγμα [charagma] is used, which is more appropriately translated as ‘carving’, ‘incision’, etc.}. This will be the gravest trap for man, because, if he accepts it, he will be subjected to the (voluntary or involuntary) transmutation of his astro-aetheric bodies into an energy ‘net/grid’ which will irrevocably entrap his Soul in this world of devastation, stopping it from escaping to higher territories. Then, not even the knowledge of Truth (Epignosis) will be enough to set him free.”
Angeliki Anagnostou - Kalogera, Can You Stand The Truth?: The Chronicle of Man's Imprisonment: Last Call!

Bart D. Ehrman
“In it Jesus indicates that his hearers have a spark of the divine that had a heavenly origin. This world we live in is a cesspool of suffering that he calls a corpse. A person’s inner being (the light within) has tragically fallen into this material world and become entrapped here (sunk into “poverty”), and in that condition has become forgetful of its origin (become “drunk”). It needs to be reawakened by learning the truth of both this world and its own heavenly origins. Jesus is the one who conveys this truth. Once the spirit within learns the truth, it will strip off this material body (symbolized as clothes to be removed) and escape this world, returning to the divine realm, whence it came.”
Bart D. Ehrman, Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible

Ramani Durvasula
“He believed that narcissism is a chronic search for self-preservation and the need to protect the psyche. In his telling, the origin of narcissism is likely some form of unresolved conflict from childhood that is playing out in adulthood. In one of the wisest descriptions of narcissism, Freud stated, “Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.”
Ramani Durvasula, "Don't You Know Who I Am?": How to Stay Sane in an Era of Narcissism, Entitlement, and Incivility
