Culture comes from the word cult

“The world we see is manmade. Culture comes from the word cult. We live in a manmade cult of materiality and superficial nonsense. When you wake up and or become knowledgeable to the truth of the world, you can then separate yourself from the illusion and mass hysteria to see the world for what it truly is.” – Moe the Gnostic Warrior

“The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.” ~ Carl G. Jung

The essential reason for knowledge

“Now knowledge, as we know it today, claims all kinds of purposes and motivations. But the essential reason for knowledge, the real basis of our desire to know, is that we must learn to know what is right and wrong for ourselves. We must discover the truth, the life, the pattern which is possible for us to fulfill without danger or pain or suffering. We may have certain limitations, but the limitations in turn may also be liberations, depending on how we look at them.” – Manly P. Hall
