"Natural science paradigm expanded
beyond Newton.
Man need not
be downgraded to a ghost in a
machine.
He might be a sort of animal, namely,
a higher mammal.
There has yet to be ventured
the hazardous leap to
the hypothesis that perhaps he is a man." - Gilbert
Ryle
There is a inadequate distorted
manner in which the
mind can think of itself and of other things as individually existing in
self-contained segments
of reality separate from the whole of
nature and from bodily source of
mind.
Ego
exists as an isolated
self only while the body in which it resides
exists.
Fragmentary self-awareness
includes incomplete awareness
of self.
In fragmentary awareness
apperception
blocks out categories of reality.
In this state of fragmentary, incomplete awareness the mind does not
grasp the basis of
individuality and does not
fully understand its own individuality.
The ego can think of itself as
substance, as the body is
substance.
True understanding of
individuality allows true freedom of mind.
Introspection
is the foundational aspect of
self-knowledge.
Periodically pause and take note of the flavor of thoughts passing by.
Futile desire changes the direction
of thought onto pointless nonsense.
The mental discipline of
observing your thoughts, can develop into an enriching practice to help you
gain a significant degree of emotional control.
Directing consciousness
is an essential to the process of spiritual awakening.
Spiritual awakening reveals both
positive and
negative psychological traits.
Negative traits:
vanity as
justified self-esteem,
selfishness as
prudence,
lust for prestige as
healthy ambition and
greed as necessary
self-assertiveness.
Positive
traits: commitment to the quest
despite collective
pressure, a state of constant vigilance so as not to succumb to the
delusion of
awakening.
Self-knowledge or
'enlightenment'
demands expansive perception and
annihilation of delusions and
illusions.
Ordinary consciousness
is unaware of the
subconscious.
Self-knowledge can ignite the experience of "ego death" or
spiritual rebirth, a
selfless state of
consciousness.
Selfless states of
consciousness include a lack of
fear.
Ignorance of the
emotional causes of pleasure and
pain breeds obsession.
Obsession spawns a state
of destructive emotion.
A
mind in
the grip of the irrational passion of
obsession loses its capacity
to enjoy a wide range of normal human activities.
Self-affirmation
becomes limited to the
things ego conceives of as the cause of pleasure or pain in an abstract
manner.
By failing to understand the
emotional underpinning of pain and pleasure,
the mind fails to see its own
interconnections with the
larger whole.
Consciously noting, rather than ignoring, emotions
can transform
false ideas of self
into true ideas of self.
Individual consciousness comes to greater self-knowledge by
recognizing emotion
is a part of nature and not an aberration to be stifled.
Human impotence is not a
result of a defect in nature but a result of the Awesome Power of Nature,
of which humans are a microcosmic
part. |

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 mass 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.
All views and opinions presented on this web
