New Religious Movement Leaders

"We have to prevent those of false gedatsu from wielding any influence over people. For that reason I think I will have to show you eventually the true state and power of one who has attained gedatsu, as a kind of touchstone."

"Once you've achieved satori then you realize what you need to do now, or just what this thing called life is. Then you lose all interest in money. After all, you've realized that there is something much more important than that. How can I live each day to the full? How can I live in such a way as to seek after absolute freedom, absolute happiness and joy, which is what the true self really desires? Gradually you begin to focus on these points. Then you begin training and head towards gedatsu."

"Since then I have continually increased the severity of my practice and have been able to investigate thoroughly the final stage of yoga. This is nothing else than the goal that I have set for myself. When I reached that stage, however, I realized that there are still more stages beyond, and I could not be satisfied. And so I began searching again."

"You might say she's Guinea and I'm Pig. We are guinea pigs in the sense that we are here to show how man, the caterpillar, can become a butterfly in the next kingdom."

"We will serve God first. Now, we will serve the God of the truth. Now, we were willing, and we've been willing all this time to sit down with anybody."

"Koehl's primary legacy, however, lies less in his contributions to American National Socialism than in his example of survival in the vortex of a movement famous for its tendency to devour its own."

"Look, this is life, this is life and death ... theology really is life and death."

"Now go contrary to that revelation of truth, and I guarantee you I'll kill you one day."

"There's a hidden secret. God today has a plan contrary to any human planning. It's a plan to destroy mankind in a way that they've never known, a way that he can save them, and we're privileged to break down the walls of human wisdom."

"These prophecies, which have been for so many years in discrepancy with one another were not designed ever to be fulfilled in the days of these prophets.... Today the prophecies remain dead because people of today are not honest with themselves to read a passage of scripture, and then come to the proper conclusion of what this prophet is saying."

"As for me, I would rather shoulder axe (sic) & musket & march off into the savage wilderness to face unknown terrors, than to remain a part of an organization that is solely run by your personal whim and fancy. You say you are a leader, but you cannot make decisive decisions. You print that Matt Koehl is National Socialism, but refuse to reunify the entire movement, the reason is that you are the man who splintered it to start with. Your paranoic (sic) refusal to delegate authority has insured the Party's future to be that of a 3rd rate mail business, which is constantly on the brink of disaster. I CHARGE YOU WITH TREASON TO THE MOVEMENT."

"[Neo-Nazi skinheads are] homeless orphans, the pitiful product of alienation and anomie in a society which they correctly perceive as offering them nothing but hostility and hopelessness ... the crude rage of the disenfranchised. Their reaction is to strike out—here and now—to get it out of their systems, regardless of any possible consequences. But using their bald heads as battering rams, rather than instruments of higher thought, is hardly a recipe for success. Such immature behavior tends toward puerile yahooism, moronic spectacle and worse, and is therefore counterproductive to the efforts of any constructive cause."

"This really isn't new to any of you. Every one of you in this room heard this message 2,000 years ago when Jesus was on earth. You were with him, worked with him, tried to carry out his mission after he left. You couldn't understand it then. You had not evolved to that level of comprehension to be able to do what he asked you to do, so you had to wait until now. This time you are all ready. You, Jesus' disciples and followers of 2,000 years ago, are back now for only one reason, and that is to make this conversion. You have done a marvelous job up to this point. Now it's time for the final step. You are a very special group. You are the earth's first harvest."

"For some of you, there will never be another opportunity. If you are a twelfth grader, and if you are ready to graduate from the human kingdom, and if you do not choose to undertake this final step, then your soul, upon death in this lifetime, will dissolve into the ethers and you will never incarnate again. This will be your first, last, and only chance."

"We are all children of the same universe."

"My mind is a free mind. I'm not locked into territories that are traditional. And yes, it may get you into trouble, but it's the right way that we should mold a society. We can't go on the way we are."

":Personal statement on website"

"We believed that God is in all forms of creativity. We're all joined in the same universe. No matter who you are, you're a creation of God. The Bible isn't the absolute document on the word of God. It can't be. It was written by man."

"In the eight years of the Monastery, nobody was ever stabbed, nobody was ever killed, nobody ever OD'd, nobody ever died. The only security we ever used were two people at the front door, the ushers. And yet we ran the gamut of black people, white people, young people, old people, gay people, straight people. All in one head space. The most integrated institution ever to exist in this city! Probably it will never exist again."

"You know when the spirit's there, when the place is hopping and people are jumping and they're crazed and they're having fun and they're down and everybody's on one mental plateau, and they're traveling all together, and you have unity. That's the essence of life.... That was the whole experiment with the Monastery, as opposed to a cult -- this evil, wicked place where people are having sex."

"Science is God."

":(Said in response to legal persecution due to church and residence at same address, with alcohol disallowed at church)"

"I can't even have a beer with friends at home."

"The gut issue is that I'm black and I'm queer. That bothers a lot of people. So what we have is a vice squad that has a mandate to prosecute sin."

"Every church is a business enterprise. The question is pecuniary gain, if we have a profit here. The answer is no."

":Freeman's sign in The Monastery"

"We view dancing as a form of worship and we teach through the medium of music."

"I am a black homosexual minister of the Universal Life Church."

"Adolf Hitler is National Socialism, just as National Socialism is Adolf Hitler."

"It was hell, but for every negative stroke I've received in my life, I've had two positive strokes to counter it."

":(in an interview following release from prison)"

"It is part of our doctrine that homosexuality and bisexuality are morally and socially equal to heterosexuality."

"I was born a racist, I never could see the sense of mixing of blacks and whites, It's highly indecent. I've always believed in the establishment of an all-white America. What we know is coming is race war. Race war is just around the corner in historical terms. We expect there will be a serious American defeat in Vietnam because of the administration's no-win policy."

"Residential Area - by invitation only"

"Whoever did it, it is of benefit only to the blacks and Jews of this country. It is a defeat for every white man. He was my commander. I think he'll go down in history as one of the greatest living Americans and one of the greatest white men of all time....I believe that despite what happened here, his death will inspire a victory for the white men of the country.... He wanted his work to go on."

"He is our law and guide as Aryans for all time to come. He is our hope, our redemption."

"Today we have only the rudiments. We are laying a foundation. The elaboration of our doctrines and the development of those formal usages and structures, such as one normally associates with the older religions, will involve the work of generations and centuries. But what is time when one is talking seriously about religion? How long did the Christians have to wait for Constantine to deliver a decadent Roman Empire into their hands? How often over the millennia did Diaspora Jewry repeat the ancient formula, "Next year in Jerusalem?" If it be the will of heaven, we too can tarry a bit."

"Hitler lives in our very own hearts and minds.... Our Leader is risen. He is risen indeed!"

"We can make a start... and whether it takes 50 years, 100 years, 500 years or 1,000 years, the important thing is that one day—sooner or later—the cause of Adolf Hitler does indeed prevail on this earth."

"If Adolf Hitler stands as the author of National Socialism, then Commander Rockwell is certainly the St. Paul of the new Aryan creed."

"We are the very same Movement which arose in 1919, which was crushed in 1945, which was resurrected under the inspired leadership of Lincoln Rockwell, and which has persisted in a continuous, unbroken line up to this day."

"Adolf Hitler was born on Earth. He became flesh and blood. He fought, and he died."

"They altered the national demography and introduced us to integration, busing, Affirmative Action, minority quotas, sensitivity training, Black History and-the Holocaust. They gave us permissiveness, drugs, MTV and teen suicide. They gave us safe sex and unsafe streets and gun control. They gave us rock 'n roll and rape-counseling centers. They gave us 'alternative lifestyles,' sodomy, AIDS, filth, perversion, chaos, crime, corruption, dumbing down and insanity of every kind."

"Su God, thank You very much for granting me life today. I offer sincere gratitude for the blessings I have received through all the things that You have created in the universe. I now go to bed with peace of mind. Good night."

"Kotama Okada taught us that to save others we need to learn to see things from the other person’s point of view. This spirit has enabled human beings to continue to exist, to form groups, cooperate with each other, and establish social order. If people placed more emphasis on the spirit of cooperation, the seeds of conflict that have been sown throughout the world would disappear. This indeed is what it means to practice humility, the complete opposite to ego and conceit."

"The salvation work that started with just the two of us was not at all easy. The hardship that we experienced some days beggared description. It was as if we were walking down a path of thorns. Yet, in our hearts, we were filled with the warm Light of a loving God. Regardless of rain, cold wind, or storms, my father would go out on an old bicycle to help people in trouble. Day and night, he would go as far away as Tachikawa or Hachioji to give Light and teachings, always showing gentle affection for others."

"May the name of God be glorified. May all living things flourish, May my friends, relatives, and I flourish."

"Love that is truly altruistic seeks no reward and is based on true faith directed towards God. The true practice of altruistic love lies in not seeking anything in return. Yokoshi kamikumite have been given the art of True Light, through which we are able to give the Light of God. This is truly a wonderful gift from God. The foundation of altruistic love lies in giving Light."

"Being cheerful and humble, regardless of what people say or think about us, will help to establish families, and indeed a society, of love and harmony."

"We have clouded over our pure, God-given souls with negative thoughts. We have generated negative vibrations such as grudges, envy and hatred, and have thus polluted the souls of others as well as our own. This is explained by the fact that vibrations generated by negative thoughts reverberate like echoes and return to us. In the teachings, this phenomenon is referred to as “the principle of echo”. In accordance with this principle, people today are causing harm to their souls with their own negative vibrations."
