"One of the main functions of organized
religion
is to protect people against the
direct experience of
God."
Carl
Jung
"Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have
different names, but
they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all
contain truths."
Muhammad
Ali
Religion is an
informal human
subconscious governing structure implanted by
the local social
culture.
Religion that
abandons its
moral baseline, the
support of LIFE, loses its
subconscious
governing ability and becomes nothing more than
a cult of idol worshipers.
A religion will initially be based upon an
original unique mystical
experience of the
founder of the religion.
Ritualized
religion begins to lose its ability to continually revitalize the
Eternal Soul once it becomes caught in the trap of
taking the metaphor,
meant for children,
literally.
Effective religious mythology has
three levels of associated
understanding which reveal the
Thinspace.
Foundational mythology, the
moral compass of a child,
incorporates Archaic
and Magical
consciousness.
Median
mythology, designed for adults, teaches community to care for the general
welfare of the tribe by incorporating
Mystical and
Rational
consciousness.
Ascendant mythology,
related to timeless wisdom,
makes use of the Thinspace of the
bicameral brains of
sages,
wizards and
mystics walking in
Integral
consciousness.
"Manipulating a religious structure in
order to use its thoughtforms for domination purposes is common within any
religion, no religion is
immune to such parasitism and corruption." - Leland
Lehrman
"Religion have always been a way for
wily, hypocritical leaders using
superstition to intimidate people and
extort riches from them." -
Wallace Danielson
Roman Catholicism and
many
other Christian cults took another deep ponerological turn when
Isaac Newton's theories of
a clockwork material reality
assigned the Creator
the role of deterministic
clockmaker and miracle
provider entirely removed from
Creation.
"Imagine that we are sitting here talking of
religions and that the maid
Masha hears our conversation.
She, of course, understands it in her
own way and she repeats what she has understood to the porter
Ivan.
The porter
Ivan again understands it
in his own way and he repeats what he has understood to the coachman
Peter next door.
The
coachman Peter goes to the
country and recounts in the village what the gentry talk about in town.
Do you think that what he recounts will at all resemble what we said?
This is the relation between
existing religions and their foundation.
You get
teachings,
traditions,
prayers,
rituals, not at fifth but at
twenty-fifth hand, and, almost everything has been
distorted beyond
recognition and everything essential
forgotten long ago." - Georges
Ivanovitch Gurdjieff
Understanding there is something greater than self helps one to
see the actual insignificance of
attempting to control things beyond one's self.
Institutionalized religion evolves over time into
no more than a social control mechanism
concerned with the traditions, masquerading as morals.
Institutionalized
religion is incapable of
doing the very thing that is needed by an individual feeling
separated from community.
Institutionalized
religion can bring the "lost soul" into
a feeling of fellowship
with fellow 'believers' but it can never heal
the separation that man feels from the
Creator and Sustainer.
The only thing that can
heal the separation that man feels
from the Creator and Sustainer is mystical states of unitive experience
- oneness with the cosmos
or with the Creator and
Sustainer.
No intercessor is needed for
participation in a mystical experience
!
In fact participation in a
mystical experience
precludes intercessors
!
religion is defined as:an
institutionalized system of belief
Sets of beliefs, values, and ritual practices based on the thought
forms of a spiritual leader creating
a conceptual structural
foundation for the extended worldview of
the disciple.
Religion carries a moral
obligation to cherish life along with the spirit of reverence and
veneration for life.
Religion is
emotionally subjective while
theology is
rationally
objective.
Religious icons
and fetishes tap into the emotions while
narratives capture the
imagination and build
systematized conceptual
structures.
"Natural religions are not
attempts to control nature
but to help you put yourself in accord with
nature."
Joesph Campbell
Shaman
asks four questions of those feeling psychic illness:
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop
singing ?
When did you stop
enjoying telling a story ?
When did you stop enjoying
silence ?
In Shaministic
religions the unseen forces believed to be controlling different aspects of
nature or reality were naturally seen as separate spirits each having different
attributes in the power of control over a force of nature - much as an
individual life spirit inhabits every unique organic being.
Shamanism
refers to a range of indigenous
traditional beliefs and practices concerned with
communication with
the spirit world.
Although shamanistic beliefs vary as to culture
some forms are shared:
Everything is empower with
Spirit.
Spirits
may play important roles in human lives.
Spirits can be either good or
evil.
Animals play an
important role, acting as omens and
message-bearers, as well as representations of
animal spirit
guides.
Shaman
coöperate with Spirits to benefit the community.
Shamans engage various
processes and techniques to incite trance: singing,
dancing,
taking entheogens,
meditating and
drumming.
The spirit leaves the body and
enters the Thinspace during certain tasks.
Shamans -
healers,
gurus and
magicians - can heal
sickness.
"Shamanistic traditions of great
antiquity has as one of their most important elements the attempt to
find God through the Vale of
Tears; that cannabis played
a role in this, at
least in some areas, is born out in the philology surrounding the
ritualistic use of the plant.
Whereas
Western religious
traditions generally stress sin,
repentance, and
mortification of the
flesh, certain older
non-Western religions employed cannabis as a euphoriant, which allowed the
participant a joyous path to the
Ultimate; hence such appellations as "heavenly guide". - William
Embolden
To the Ancient Gnostics the Demiurge forged
Material Reality out of the Pleroma, with the help
of his six sons - Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune -
the planetary
Genii.
The Ancient Gnostics viewed Material Reality as
faulty, a failure of the Demiurge's design due either the Demiurge's cruel
nature or due to the fact that a higher power forced it upon the Demiurge.
The Ancient Gnostics divided humanity into three groups:
savages who could see nothing
outside the material realm;
those, like Jews, who
worship false gods like Samael;
those who worship Nous and the
Lumière Infinie
of Æon.
Ancient Gnostics saw
Christ as the personification of Nous
(Divine Mind).
The material body,
bound in Nature, is termed Apis.
The
Eternal Soul,
escaping the material shell at
death, is termed Serapis.

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.
