Jordan Maxwell Quotes

“Gnosis in Greek means knowledge, or to know. This does not refer to factual knowledge, but to an intuitive or spiritual understanding that comes from experience. The early Gnostics were mystics, people who knew that you could experience God for yourself instead of going into a church and being told what to believe. In Hebrew, to know means to experience – so, according to the Hebrews, knowing God means to experience Him. This is what most all early Hebrews and Christians were striving to do.

Unfortunately, the Church got in the way of personal experience, by creating 'organized religion'. There’s a saying which states, 'Religion is for the masses, and mysticism is for the individual'. If you want to be a sheep and follow along with the masses to get a generic, candy-coated version of your spirituality, then follow the teachings of the Christian fathers. If you want to explore your own individual spirituality, you must go deeply inside yourself, instead of through church doors.”

“Open your mind people. Get your personal freedom. Break away from the image society expects you to be and think for yourselves. Don't believe everything an authority says or gives you.”

“People have no idea in the world what is going on.”

“People need to wake up, this is serious stuff.”

“When you think that you know everything, you know less than nothing.”

“Your mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work unless it's open.”

“An idea who's time has come is individuality and freedom, and understanding that both religion and government in America are the enemies of all good people. All sincerely decent good people have as their greatest enemy this government and the people behind this government who are manipulating it, and the churches, period!”

“I prefer to die someday on my feet, rather than on my knees.”

“If you accept your government's view of everything, and if you accept your particular religious persuasion of things, then you are no different than the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Muslims and all the other people we condemn throughout the world or those silly radicals who follow the views of their leaders and blow up buildings without asking questions.”

“Let me explain more about the ARCO symbol. In the Bible, the twelve apostles are called the twelve cornerstones of the church. Jesus is also referred to in the Bible as 'the Chief Cornerstone that the builders rejected'. The Chief Cornerstone is a Greek word that means 'the peak of a pyramid', the tip of the pyramid at the top is a 'chief cornerstone'. So stop for a minute, and think about the message being so very subtly delivered by the ARCO company. Who is in charge of world, really in charge, without the 'chief cornerstone' being here? Who owns the oil companies? And who owns you?”

“That's the most dangerous thing you can do: educate people. Because when people become educated, you cannot control them, you cannot frighten them. People who are educated know their own power, and don't surrender it to others.”

“I found that nothing is this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters.”

“Nothing in this world, nothing, works the way you think it does. There's always more to the story. You hear about some marriage breaking up – the husband did this, the wife did that – and it's very obvious what happened...

No it's not obvious what happened. There's a lot more to the story you don't know. You don't know her background, her past, you don't know his past. You don't know what was going on in the family – you have no idea. So nothing is simple. This is why you have courts.”

“Ignorance and its denial will, sad to say, lead us down the same road as it did in all past history.”

“I don't know what God is, but I know what 'he' isn't.”

“The more you educate yourself the more you understand where things come from the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere. You have to know the truth and seek the truth and the truth will set you free.”

“The religious institutions of this world are at the bottom of the dirt.”
