128 Quotes by Mike Hockney

The universe is nothing but a celestial factory which takes raw material – unconscious souls – and processes them mathematically until all of their infinite potential has been converted into actuality and they have become nothing other than conscious GODS! We are living in the God Factory

Reason allows you to be more than human, superhuman, hyperhuman... a God. You can step out of your limited, flawed human prison. You can transcend the human condition, and see reality for what it actually is... a living mathematical organism relentlessly optimising and solving itself.

Mathematics has been described as “not just a language”, as a language plus reasoning, a language plus logic, as a tool for reasoning. In truth, mathematics is reason. It’s how reason manifests itself ontologically. It’s exactly because the universe is made of math that it’s a rational place, obeying the principle of sufficient reason. That’s why everything has an explanation.

The universe is driven by a very simple force – symmetry. The universe goes from perfect symmetry to broken symmetry and back to perfect symmetry again. It does this forever. We can put it in other terms: God becomes non-God (alienated from God) and then God again, following an immense, cosmic dialectical process through which he becomes conscious of who and what he is. We are all agents of God’s rediscovery. We are all becoming God.

The truth is not democratic, it’s not populist and it’s not for everyone.

Imagine a DVD movie with a “mind”. Would it understand that it’s actually a DVD (Form) and not the movie (Content) it contains? The Content is far more appealing and vivid than the Form, which is why we live in a Mythos world rather than Logos.

There’s only one difference between love and mental illness. Both are distorted versions of reality, except with mental illness you don’t have to fuck the thing making you ill. Love was something he’d come to regard as a branch of pathology.

In every way, we inhabit the Noosphere, the domain of nous, of mind. This cosmic Noosphere is evolving. Powerful minds are shaping it, making it perfect. One day, it will be transformed into Golgonooza, Blake’s wondrous City of the Imagination. Once enough people are illuminated, its light will shine brighter than all the suns put together. It will illuminate the whole universe. It will be inhabited by glittering Gods, and they shall call it heaven.

Freedom doesn’t exist in a vacuum. No one is free to disobey the laws of existence. Our freedom is the freedom to pursue our will to power as we see fit. Yet will to power is actually – when viewed from the outside rather than inside – a mathematical drive to establish perfect symmetry, to restore the symmetry that was broken by the Big Bang.
