Christopher Loren Quotes

Our species is angry on a deep level. We know something has been wrong for a long time. We are tired of being thrown the scraps. This is primal, guttural; the scream of an exhausted humanity who will not take no for an answer.

Once the wounded child awakens to its human self, a primal scream emerges from the depths of denial like the Kraken released from its underwater prison.

I believe religious indoctrination is child abuse.

It is my belief that when a child has been robbed of their visionary rights that they gravitate toward religion and spirituality in an effort to regain their Subjective autonomy.

The inner imaginary universe of the human primate is the battlefield of the ages

Let me make this radiantly clear - if you believe in spirits and the metaphysical world, your biology will create the illusion that these things are real.

The importance of awakening to our evolutionary origins is paramount because irrational ideas about “who we are” fuel our sense of separateness

Separating one's “self” physically from the world (as an unseen entity) alienates the human being from the facts of a sensual world and its realities. In order to have a self, you must provide a story for that self. Whether it is the tale of past pain or future fears the etheric self requires a story because it is hitchhiking on the natural.

I suppose the spiritual trance is harder to break than the religious one because the delusion is more difficult to distinguish. You have a quasi-cloud of ideas that include wonderful concepts of openness and altruism without the blatant anthropomorphism of religion.

Our unfathomable evolutionary past paints a picture vastly more immense than any spiritual story could ever create because it is raw and real, violent, dirty and beautiful - and because of that - it's spectacular!

We do not have bodies - we are bodies! What could possibly be wrong with that form of consciousness? It is all energy anyways.

Our religious systems have taught us to “train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) I couldn’t disagree more. How about, “feed a child what it needs, so when it gets grows up, it will “be” its own unique unpredictably creative self.

When we begin to see the equality of our biology then our ideology is exposed,

May all beings be free of pretended happiness.
May all beings find their deepest lie.
May all beings see the nature of their inner turmoil.
May all beings realize what they are not.
And through this, may all beings become who they already are.

The funny thing about the word “delusion” is that it means just that - delusion. When you have it, you don't know it, and that can be a problem.
