"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.
