"People often take the truths of a tradition on
faith accepting the testimony of others but find that
the inner kernel of the religion,
its luminous essence, remains
elusive." - Karen Armstrong
Throughout history
sacred text has been edited, corrected, redacted, combined, re-edited and
re-corrected by both foolish and
unscrupulous men.
A sacred text interpreter attempting to
clarify conceptual understanding
may corrupt sacred text by shifting perspective from
that of metaphorical allegory to that
of literal
interpretation.
Some
purposefully obscured sacred writings for personal gain.
A
literal reading of "sacred
text" is meant for children.
Mature adults understand "sacred text" as
metaphoric
allegory.
Our storehouse of
knowledge has been looted repeatedly over time.
The libraries of
the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans,
Venetians and countless others have been destroyed by
those that prefer a different version
of history.
In China
when a dynasty fell newly empowered officials went back and rewrote the history
of the past hundred or more years to shine a favorable light on those currently
in power.
"From the totalitarian point of view history is something to
be fabricated rather than learned. A
totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its
ruling caste, in order to keep its
position, has to be thought of as infallible But since, in practice, no one is
infallible, it is frequently necessary
to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that
mistake was not made, or that this or that
imaginary triumph actually
happened." - George Orwell
Before
the School of Athens
partitioned reality into fields of study
political
affiliation was synonymous with religious affiliation.
Men became gods and gods became
men so gods could die!
Tribal mergers took place in much the same
way as corporate mergers take place with some elements of each tribe being
incorporated into the merged tribal structure but with the predominant tribe
largely dictating the tradition of the social cultural system.
In the
Levant the god of creation, El, went
through multiple name changes when
the gods of neighboring tribes kept being folded in.
A tribes god bound the tribe together
and as the empire builders went to
work in the Levant they quickly learned that
the best way to get a tribe
to submit was to adopt the gods of conquered tribes as lesser gods.
Roman Catholics adopted this method
by giving local gods
sainthood.
Within the closeted group individuals adhering to the
commonly held
religious
(political) ideology become the 'Chosen' while those on the outside
remained 'Other'.
"You will mourn privately for all the evil you
have done." - Ezekiel 24:23
Three hundred years before the
birth of Jesus the
Therapeutae the Cult of Serapis,
founded by Ptolemy the Savior,
required believers to make a 'leap of faith' by adhering to the professed mythological
structure to attain afterlife.
Before this period of time only
rulers, such as Pharaoh Akhenaten, had the magical ability to return to life
from the heavens above (as Tutankhamun).
All religious dogma requires believers
to suspend belief in their senses, their
experience and their
understanding of natural reality.
No person in
a natural state of mind
can accept breaches to the Laws
of Physics which are also the Laws of the Creator and
Susatiner.
People expect reality to
conform to their current understanding
of reality and yet understanding of reality must constantly be reevaluated
as experience and knowledge is
gained, both consciously and subconsciously.
The
knowledge gained subconsciously is
generally unavailable to the ego,
the conscious thought
stream, unless you are Walking the
Thinspace.
"For the chosen people
racialism substitutes the chosen
race, selected as the instrument
of destiny, ultimately to
inherit the earth. In the case of
racialism, this is thought of
as a kind of natural law; the
biological superiority of the blood of the chosen race explains
the course of history, past,
present, and future; it is nothing but the struggle of races for
mastery." - Karl Popper
Individuals seeking religious
succor as an aid in coping with the tragedies of life may be bewitched by
a Snake, a
Pharisee or a
Sadducee.
Snakes take
advantage of those attempting to cope with the tragedies of life as they are
often malleable and open to religious suggestion.
They will claim to
have special training, certification or academic credentials allows them to
interpret scripture and
act as
intercessors.
Snakes concentrate on certain
thought forms, concepts and
ideas in a deliberate intent to
excite intense emotional turmoil and
confusion.
Snakes
employing the power of
persuasion, the power of
deception, cold reading
techniques, Forer
effect/Barnum statements, shotgunning techniques and the
rainbow ruse have
victims
trapped.
Snakes, speaking in tongues,
promise healing through supernatural
power if you pray hard enough
and speedy release if you get
arrested.
New Thought
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby
1802 Phineas Parkhurst Quimby is born
in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
He is generally recognized as the "Father
of New Thought."
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby was a
philosopher, magnetizer,
mesmerist, healer, and 'scientist'.
New
Thought metaphysics
denies objective material
reality.
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby transmitted his views to victims
Warren Felt Evans, Mary Baker Eddy, and Julius and Annetta
Dresser.
1864
Russell Herman Conwell
is dismissed from the military after being charged with deserting his post at
Newport Barracks, North Carolina.
1869 Warren
Felt Evans publishes the The Mental Cure.
1875 Mary Baker Eddy published a book which she called
"Science and Health," based on the writings of Phineas Parkhurst
Quimby.

is organized as a youth organization.
"Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ
for strength, I promise Him that I will strive to do whatever He would like to
have me do."
1882 Society of Christian
Endeavor grows quickly in the US and then spreads throughout the British
Empire - the benefactor remains unknown.
Mary Baker Eddy founds
Metaphysical College in Boston and Christian
Science.
Julius and Annetta Dresser compete with Mary Baker Eddy by
opening an office to practice Quimby's system of mental healing.
To heal
Julius Dresser "layed his hands" on the patient.
1888 Russell Herman Conwell, minister and graduate of Yale law
school is hired by Newport, Rhode Island aristocracy to spread his "Acres of
Diamonds" lecture.

won seven Pulitzer
Prizes.
Essek William Kenyon
1892 Essek William Kenyon desired to be an
actor and attended the Emerson School of Oratory in Boston.
1898 Essek William Kenyon opens Bethel Bible Institute.
All the religious movements arising from New Thought preach the
supremacy of the spiritual over the material claiming the
material reality is a fantastic
"Matrix" like construct and that
true reality exists only in the
spiritual realm.
New Thought preaches the
human spirit creates physical
health; the human mind through
positive mental attitude
and positive confession has the supernatural power to create its own
reality - health, wealth
and dominion.
By using the
precepts of New Thought spiritual forces can be manipulated by
the will of the individual.
"I know that I am healed because
He said that I am healed and it makes
no difference what the symptoms may be in my body. I laugh at them, and in the
Name of Jesus I command the author of the disease to leave my body." - Essek
William Kenyon
Many future American neoevangelists followed in the
footsteps of Essek William Kenyon including Kenneth E. Hagin, founder of Word
of Faith movement, and his acolyte Kenneth Copeland.
Norman Vincent Peale, Robert H.
Schuller and many others including Bill Hybels of
Willow Creek jumped on the Word of Faith
bandwagon.

Revival and its offshoot Signs and Wonders which
television
neoevangelists have capitalized on ever since.
1947
William Marrion Branham, Percy Hunt and George
Hawtin codify Latter Rain mythology as the
"New Order of the Latter
Rain."

pick up were Aimee left off.
1965
William Marrion Branham
ascends.
His followers
expect him to be resurrected.
They are still waiting.
"In Bible Days, there were men
of God who were Prophets and
Seers. But in all the Sacred
records, none of these had a greater ministry than that of Brother Branham." -
1961 Voice, Full Gospel Business Men International
Kenneth E. Hagin, founder of RHEMA (utterance) Bible Training
Center, borrowed from William Marrion Branham's positive confession teachings
who borrowed from Essek William Kenyon's New Thought literature.
Kenneth
E. Hagin, never received any formal theological training, although he received
an honorary doctorate from Oral Roberts University, a non-profit 501c3, in the
1970s.
(In 2008
debt ridden Oral Roberts University
was abandoned by
Benny Hinn and
Creflo A. Dollar who were board
members when a spending scandal by Richard Roberts, Oral Roberts son, came to
light.)

Prophet
"Those who do evil get rich." - Malachi
3:15
"Our moral
code is a product of gradual social evolution, like language, or manners,
or the common law, and that, like
them, it has grown and evolved to meet the need for peace,
order and
social coöperation.
Imagine a society in which no moral
code existed, or in which it were the exact opposite of the codes we
customarily find.
Imagine how long a society could
prosper or even continue to exist in which
ill manners, promise-breaking,
lying,
cheating,
stealing, assault,
rape,
robbery,
murder,
ingratitude,
disloyalty,
treachery,
violence, and
chaos were the rule - more
highly regarded than their opposites - good manners,
promise-keeping,
truth-telling,
honesty,
fairness, loyalty,
consideration for others,
peace, order and
social coöperation." -
Henry Hazlitt

world." |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any
group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due
to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a
rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of
faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in
which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation
with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality
in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human
spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of
the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
