"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 and 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'.
"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
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.
"You will mourn privately for all the evil you
have done." - Ezekiel 24:23
"In leadership they have recognized the ultimate
object of their endeavor, and account pride and
haughtiness as the
highest attainments of their heart's desire. They have placed their
sordid machinations above the divine
decree, have renounced resignation unto
the Will of God, busied
themselves with selfish calculation, and
walked in the way of the
hypocrite. With all their power and strength they strive to secure
themselves in their petty pursuits, fearful lest the least discredit and
undermine their authority or blemish the display of their magnificence." -
Bahá'u'lláh
To identify a Snake, a false religious
teacher, look for the following traits:
Many Snakes start out with a
good heart and
the right intentions but
fall into the transcendental
temptation as they gain pride with their new found
power of molding emotion
and thought.
Snakes, many times holding academic credentials declaring
them doctors, claim their training gives them
a unique
understanding.
Snakes
will ask you to trust them to function as intercessors.
Snakes take
advantage of individuals
seeking religious succor as an aid in coping with the
tragedy of life when they are more
malleable and open to religious suggestion.
Snakes claim the path to
heaven is accepting their interpretation
of scripture.
Snakes concentrate on certain
thought forms, concepts and
ideas in a deliberate intent to
excite intense emotional turmoil and
confusion.
Snakes
employ psychology using the
power of
persuasion, the power of
deception, cold reading
techniques, Forer
effect/Barnum statements, shotgunning techniques and the
rainbow ruse.
Snakes
use unreasoning terror and fear as control mechanisms.
Snakes
promise supernatural power, speaking in tongues and
to heal
you.
Snakes suggest that if
pray hard enough, have enough faith or
donate enough tithes then
you can physically alter the
noumenon with your prayers.
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.
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.
1882 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.
1908 Mary Baker Eddy founds The Christian Science
Monitor, a global newspaper that
has 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.
William Marrion Branham William Marrion Branham reports supernatural visitations at ages
3 and 7.
1933 William
Marrion Branham preaches to three thousand people in a tent
revival in Jeffersonville,
Indiana and later builds Branham Tabernacle.
William Marrion Branham basically births the entire
Healing
Revival movement and its offshoot the
Signs and Wonders movement
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."
early sixties
William Marrion Branham claims that he is the end-times "Elijah" - the "Messenger of the Covenant".
Branham, an original
Kansas
City "prophet", becomes a Charismatic Pentecostal
legend by filling the worlds largest
auditoriums and stadiums by demonstrating the "Gift of Discernment" and the
"Word of
Knowledge".
William Marrion Branham claims he
is guided by an angel who is
scientifically revealed in a photo image as "Cloven Tongues of Fire".
William Marrion Branham taught:
"Two Seed";
mentored
Oral Roberts;
proclaimed himself the "angel of revelation";
preached Manifest Sons dogma;
claimed to have witnessed a
resurrection due to his intercession;
helped cross-pollinate the entire
"Positive Confession/Word of Faith movement" with
Manifest Sons/Latter Rain
dogma.
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

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.
