"[The] Divine Just State is not a slogan—it’s a system where every believer is both cared for and responsible to care. Some of us are naturally inclined to nurture, heal, teach, cook, drive, clean, build, or organize; those brothers and sisters should be trusted with those tasks. All of us must be willing to lift one another’s burdens—quietly, steadily, day after day—until care becomes the culture."

"They were ordered to shut all the doors and not to open anything at all, All activities such as eating, praying [...] should take place inside for three days. Anything that remained outside in the dark turned into devils. These devils lamented and cried for three days after which they were thrown into hell."

"Jesus gave the reason for this arrangement, namely, that at the beginning of his first mission to redeem mankind, he chose from his disciples twelve men whom he called Apostles, because he was alone; but now he says that at his second coming he has come with his mother and, that since she is the one who asked God the Father for this mission, it is appropriate that she gets people of her kind on the team of the Apostles of the new community, the second generation."

"Another objective for which God sent us this NEW MOVEMENT OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE is to notify all the people in the world to prepare themselves for the closing of this generation which is already at hand at each one’s door and also to prepare for YEAR ONE of the next generation after year 2000, which will consist of people who will enter the new earth where sorrow and misery are absent."

"there will be great tribulation upon all the people such that has never before been experienced by any person since the creation of the world. Those who will not have repented their sins will experience it most"

"I saw a new earth come down from heaven. This new earth contained every good thing of every type that pertains to the spiritual and the material well being of the human person. The new earth is very beautiful and it has plenty of light."

"As we follow directives from Heaven, we are supposed to gather in the selected area before the wrath of the Almighty God the creator is let down on to non-repentants. Keep my words on your hearts, there will never be the year 2001. Catastrophes will befall human kind [sic] and the indicators of such will be wars, crime increase such as murder, rape, robbery, etc. There will be a lot of fear among the human races! Appearance of strange animals and people will be noticed. I would request you that if you come across such, simply run and look for me. I will not fail to seek refuge for you. Whoever wanted his brother or family to perish? Do not stick to property. Simply leave it behind and run for your dear (life). I will always pray for you, as I have nothing else I can do! May God guide you!"

"You cannot manage them. They are spoilt. I sent them my only son, Jesus Christ, who taught them, counseled them, cured their sickness, made their cripples walk, restored sight to the blind and made the dumb speak. Instead of being grateful to him for all this, they made him suffer; instead of becoming righteous, they killed him. Let me deal with them as they deserve and give them what they merit."

"When the year 2000 is completed, the year that will follow will not be year two thousand-and-one. The year that will follow shall be called Year One in a new generation that will follow the present generation; the generation that will follow will have few or many people depending on who will repent. Those who repent and come back to God are the ones that will come to Year One, of the next generation, and they will be called "the redeemed.""

"And you, being the leaders, it is important that you know about the following, whether you may believe it or not, the truth of the matter is that it is not going to change[.] When the year 2000 comes to and [sic] end, the present times or generation will be changed and there will follow a new generation and a New Earth, only those who have the Ten Commandments of God will go to live in the New Earth. The year 2000 will not be followed by year 2001 but it will be followed by YEAR ONE in a NEW GENERATION."

"The people who are in hell are crying; they are burning but they cannot get to ashes instead they remain alive but with unimaginable misery and agony....You find in hell people of all colors, of all races, languages, the small and the great, the learned and the unlearned, short and tall, the rich and the poor, people with high social standing, everyone who failed to observe the Commandments is in this place. The hell fire does not discriminate between persons."

"in the year two thousand (AD 2000), you will encounter further persecution when you increase on [sic] your development. [...] when you realize that the battles have approached you, you should take your important documents for custody with those responsible for the security, that is, the nearest police. Then you should start to clear the way for your souls. But you should not be afraid; those who preceded you experienced the same: Do you think that God had ignored the martyrs?"

"I have come back to save the world. The reason is that the Lord God has looked at the world and He has seen that the people have abandoned the Ten Commandments which He gave to the world through Moses on Mount Sinai. They are worshiping other objects, they are their own masters, many have submitted themselves to the rule of Satan. This grieved him and He said 'The people of this generation are not worthy of me. I am going to destroy them by taking them one by one, because they have disobeyed me'"

"Many say they live only for the "Harvest Time" – the "Last Days" – the "Second Coming." Those are all finally here! – Will you accept us as them? You cannot bypass us even in your prayers – you cannot insult your Creator by refusing to go through the ones He has sent to you. There are souls here now for the express purpose of connecting – and eventually bonding – with the Next Level through us. Those souls will be protected – out of harm's way – and "saved" from the approaching sorting out, recycling, and "spading under" of the Luciferians and their human servants. If you can get your name in our "book," on our spacecraft's computer (and only there), making your actions reflect that desire – then you will go with us."

"So there is no place for us here. It is time for us to go home -- to God's Kingdom, to the Next Level. There is no place for us to go but up."

"You see, death to us, has nothing to do with the body ... I have made my choice to 'lay down my life in this world' and go with my Father, Do..."

"Shoko, Shoko, Shoko-Shoko-Shoko, Asahara Shoko Shoko, Shoko, Shoko-Shoko-Shoko, Asahara Shoko Japan's Shoko, the world's Shoko, the earth's Shoko, Shoko, Shoko He rises now, shining brilliantly Let's put ourselves in the hands of our youthful hero To protect our Japan, we need his strength Shoko, Shoko, Asahara Shoko"

"The Initiation of Blood comes from a secret Tantric rite wherein the blood of the guru is taken into one's own body. The introduction of the guru's internal tissue implies the introduction of the guru's holy karma, and hastens progress in purifying one's own karma, thus elevating one's practice..."

"Wouldn't you like to build a society based on truth, where more and more souls can live according to truth, realize gedatsu, and make their way to a higher world? Let's help the world avoid disaster and attain a happy future. Let's combine our efforts, and translate into action the great will of the god Shiva and our guru, Master Asahara. The plan to transform Japan into Shambhala is the first step towards transforming the entire world into Shambhala. Your participation will result in great merit and lead you to a higher realm."

"Whether Hale-Bopp has a "companion" or not is irrelevant from our perspective. However, its arrival is joyously very significant to us at "Heaven's Gate." The joy is that our Older Member in the Evolutionary Level Above Human (the "Kingdom of Heaven") has made it clear to us that Hale-Bopp's approach is the "marker" we've been waiting for -- the time for the arrival of the spacecraft from the Level Above Human to take us home to "Their World" -- in the literal Heavens. Our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion -- "graduation" from the Human Evolutionary Level. We are happily prepared to leave "this world" and go with Ti's crew."

"The new organization will not have a guru, and the position of founder Asahara will be confined to the subject of meditation. Since he will be regarded only as a spiritual existence, he will not be in the position to give orders to the followers. We define Lord Shiva and Buddhas as the fundamental subjects of our adoration. In our context, a guru means an interpreter of scriptures. There have been a lot of gurus in the past and we do not define guru as the unique and absolute being."

"From this day, from this moment on you'll have to dedicate yourselves to even stricter practice, and quickly raise yourselves to the stage where you are prepared for death at any time."

"Even if I should begin to doubt, that is earthly desire. My doubts are illusions caused by earthly desire. My doubts are illusions caused by earthly desite. I will thus shut off those doubts. I will thus shut off those doubts. What should I do when I can't shut them off? Then I should just leave them alone. If there comes a time when I'm captured by such doubts then I should chant the mantra repeatedly and perform memory training. I'm going to train my memory for the truth! I'm going to train my memory for the truth!"

"One last thing we'd like to say is, thirty-nine to beam up!"

"Everything of this world has been offered us, and I can honestly say, 'Thanks, but no thanks.'"

"I believe that the Guru is the only person who can lead us to the state of absolute freedom, absolute happiness, absolute joy. I believe that everything in this world is transient. Only the Guru's love is real, and I would like to be able to respond to the Guru's love even a little bit. That singular, perfect existence is our ultimate aim."

"The legendary utopia of Shambhala... ruled by the god Shiva, is a world that only those souls who have penetrated the full truth of the universe may enter. There the world's saviors, whose goal it is to save all souls and lead them to gedatsu progress in their own training. Master Asahara has been reborn from that realm into the human world so that he migh take up his messianic mission. Thus the Master's efforts to embody truth throughout the human world are in accordanc with the great will of the god Shiva."

"I don't know what I did to deserve to be here, and I'm embarrassed that I can't express, without getting emotional, how good I feel about what I'm doing now and how good I feel about being here. And being given this opportunity to go to the Next Level — just the opportunity, the gift, is overwhelming....I'm the happiest person in the world."

"[He] would certainly resurrect in the simple, real sense, i.e., he would step aside... while his body heals itself, and then he would reenter it and take up his place in the membership of the next kingdom."

"The Earth's present "civilization" is about to be recycled — "spaded under." Its inhabitants are refusing to evolve. The "weeds" have taken over the garden and disturbed its usefulness beyond repair."

"Rajneesh did not mince words. He told them that he considered the so-called Transcendental Meditation (TM) of Maharishi as a sleeping pill. It may be calming and good for people who are nervous or cannot sleep. But it is neither transcendental nor meditation. Meditation does not make you sleepy but wakes you —from sleep and dream into reality. It destroys every kind of illusion and reveals that you are god."

"I personally had a very good experience with TM, into which I was initiated when I was just 20. However, I also got influenced and stopped meditating after some two years, influenced not by Osho, but by German media which portrayed TM as dangerous and asked parents to watch out that their children don’t fall for this ‘sect’, as they may go mad. The Church had even appointed special officials to have an eye on sects. I loved those 20 minutes of meditation daily morning and evening, but then, I was young and not sure…"

"I happen to have been among the first non-Japanese scholars to visit Perfect Liberty (PL) Kyodan, both in Japan and in Brazil, where it has a sizeable presence, in the 1980s, publishing an entry on it in my encyclopedic book in Italian “Le nuove religioni” (The New Religions) in 1989. PL Kyodan is the descendant of a long tradition of “mountain sects” and its origins can be traced back to the establishment of Tokumitsu-kyo, a sub-sect of the Shinto group Mitake-kyo, by Osaka merchant Tokumitsu Kanada in 1912. One of Kanada’s main followers was a Zen priest called Tokuharu Miki, who changed the name of the movement in 1931 [to] Hito-no-Michi and presided over its [growth] to roughly one million member[s]. He died in 1938 and was succeeded by his son Tokuchika Miki. As happened to other religious movements that did not support the militaristic regime during the war years, Hito-no-Michi was dissolved and Tokuchika Miki was arrested. He was released in 1946 and [afterwards, he] reorganized the movement with the new name PL Kyodan. When after his death he was succeeded in 1983 by his adopted son Takahito Miki (who died in 2020), the group had some three million members, with a substantial expansion in Latin America and a presence in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere."

"Ne sachant que faire de ces cendres bien encombrantes, les autorités du canton du Valais décidèrent finalement de les enfouir en catimini dans le cimetière de Sion. C'est donc là, au cœur des Alpes suisses, sous une dalle anonyme, que Joseph Di Mambro (1924-1994) et Luc Jouret (1947-1994), les deux gourous de l'Ordre du Temple solaire, reposent aujourd'hui en paix. Et comme le dit la formule, pour l'Éternité."

"Vendredi 15 décembre 1995, tout le monde vit dans la fièvre des préparatifs de Noël. Sauf Christiane Bonet qui prépare le massacre."

"In front of the police station at Rukungiri in southwestern Uganda, not far from the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the police officer could not believe his ears as I told him the story of the Order of the Solar Temple in Europe and Canada. His face showed a mixture of both puzzlement and relief: "You have also had such a case? In Switzerland? In a rich country? Not among poor people?" He called the other police officers: "Come, listen to this story! They have had the same thing in Europe!""

"I was the leader, anyone could be the leader. You know the planets? Some are close to the sun, Mercury is the closest, and some are further out... And yet each planet has their fixed course, and it was like that with us. Everyone has a role to play, we are all important."

"I was struck by their serenity... I found them strangely detached. 'What is death?', one of them asked with a strange glimmer in his eyes. These people were not crazy... they readied themselves for the end of the world the way others get ready for an exam."

"For two days and nights before the blast, the grownups had pursued a remarkable will to die. Over and over they fiddled with three tanks of propane that were hooked to an electric burner and a timing device. As many as four times, they swallowed sedatives, then arranged themselves in a cross around a queen-size bed, only to rise in bleary frustration when the detonator fizzled. Finally, they blew themselves to kingdom come. For them that would be the star Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major, nine light-years from Quebec. According to the doctrines of the Solar Temple, they will reign there forever, weightless and serene."

"Le rite s'accomplit pour la dernière fois. Les chevaliers de l'Ordre, conduits par le délire de leurs maîtres, guidés par la voix de leurs prophètes, s'acheminent vers leur apocalypse personnelle."

"Nous sommes aux antipodes de l'humilité propre aux saints et aux vrais maîtres spirituels. Le Temple Solaire sombre dans l'illusion et son orgueil ne le conduit qu'au néant: croyant devenir des dieux, les adeptes aveuglés suivent le joueur de flûte dans une danse macabre et se précipitent vers la mort."

"Death is the same for us all. It is how we leave Life that makes the difference. You must be able to die to the profane world In order to be born again to the Cosmic World."

"I think that our planet is slowly dying and I will do everything possible in order to be with her until the end, insofar as it will be possible."

"Men, cry not over our fate, but rather cry for your own. Ours is more enviable than yours. To you who are receptive to this last message, may our Love and our Peace accompany you during the terrible tests of the Apocalypse that await you. Know that from where we will be, we will always hold our arms open to receive those who are worthy of joining us"

"always remain worthy of wearing this Sacred Robe whatever may happen, even if your physical life is in danger, for you will soon learn that physical life is of no importance."

"Will you still be on this Earth when the countdown will begin? Will you still be on this Earth at the time of the Great Tribulation, when Antichrist and the false prophet will reign? Will you still be on this Earth when the world will go through the darkest days of its history? This may surprise you, but it is up to you to decide whether or not you will be present in these endtimes. Keep the hope of leaving this world before the Great Tribulation [...]"

"We have been hunted down like dogs because what we were telling, what we are relating, disturbs at a high level … we are relieved to know that we as well as our children will no more have to endure the craziness of this earthly world. Don't believe anything that you read about us."

"Listen. They all wanted the Transit, but they didn't have the courage to go. I might not have had the courage either, and I would have been happy if someone had helped me. If it was necessary. Why not?"

"I knew all these people they found in Switzerland—and each one of them, to my knowledge, was perfectly capable of decorporealizing at will. But some of [them] were worried they might not make it all the way to Sirius—that they might lose their way and wake up back in their bodies. So, an obvious way to prevent that was to destroy the bodies so they would not come back!"

"À tous ceux qui peuvent encore entendre et comprendre, la vie est un mouvement éternel, un va et vient infini. L'Eternel présent nous place dans un temps relatif à la terre et pour une durée qui appartient à l'inspire et l'expire du souffle de vie. Moi, porteur de lumière depuis la nuit des temps, le temps qui me fut assigné sur Terre est REVOLU et je retourne librement et volontairement d'où je suis issue, à l'aube des temps ! [...] Il est difficile pour l'homme de la terre de comprendre un tel choix, un tel geste, de poser volontairement son véhicule terrestre ! Il en est ainsi de toux ceux qui portent la lumière et la conscience cosmique qui savent où ils retournent ! Puisse la conscience de l'homme s'ouvrir toujours plus et s'enrichir subtilement par un tel vécu! Le travail est accompli et nous ramenons avec nous toute la quintessence d'une riche expérience vécue sur la planète Terre. Mon cœur s'ouvre et envoie de puissants rayons d'amour à tous ceux que j'ai aimé et chéris. Ne soyez pas tristes mais réjouissez-vous de notre propre retour conscient ! Puissent la lumière et la paix nous habiter à jamais. Un être de lumière vous salue dans l'amour."
