faith is herein defined as: previously occurrances are likely
to occur again;
confidence in individual ability to have properly
discerned reality;
a persuasion of the mind the noumenon has been
properly identified;
Knowledge is
an essential element in all faith,
and is sometimes spoken of as an equivalent to faith (John 10:38; 1 John
2:3).
Faith is not
the credulity of an awestruck
ignorance.
Faith is the consciousness and
the confident of
compassion.
Faith is the cry of reason, which persists in
denying the absurd, even
in the presence of the unknown.
Faith is a sentiment necessary to the soul, just as breathing is to
life; it is the dignity of
courage, and the reality of
enthusiasm.
Faith does not consist of the affirmation of this symbol or that, but
of a genuine and constant aspiration towards the truths which are all veiled by
symbolisms.
Faith being the
aspiration to the unknown, the object of
faith is absolutely and necessarily this one thing -
mystery.
In order to
formulate its aspirations, faith is forced to borrow aspirations and images
from the known." - Eliphas Levi
"The leap of faith is really a very ordinary
operation. We take it every time we fall in love,
expect kindness from someone in return for
a good deed, impulsively sacrifice some little piece of our
self-interest." - Lee Siegel
"My faith is
weak, my face is blind from all that
shimmering blaze of the desert sun. The heat lies on me like lead.
Thirst torments me, I dare not think how unendingly long my way is, and
above all, I see nothing in front of me."
The
Eternal Soul answers, "You speak as if you
have learned nothing. Can you not wait? Should everything fall into your lap
ripe and finished? You teem with intentions and desirousness! Do you still not
know that the way to truth stands open only to those
without intentions?" - Carl Gustav Jung
"People of faith believe for the same reason
a person holds to any worldview
- it makes sense of a wider range of our deepest experiences.
The view that religion is ultimately
grounded in fear is just as much an article of "faith" as any.
And
less cogent, for it fails to consider the possibility that faith appeals not to
our weaknesses but to our strengths, that believers believe not because their
fears are soothed but because, like hearing a great piece of music, they have
been awakened, emboldened, "surprised by
joy." - Stanley R. Moore
“Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the
pillar of fire
by night left its place in front of the people.” -
Exodus 13:22
True faith is grounded in
the noumenon.
True faith has to relate to you and
your actual life.
True faith
enhances daily living experiences.
True faith in known, not taught - no
one needs an intercessor!
True faith teaches reason and
intuition are to be
trusted, and no religious
teaching should ever be accepted if it does not make rational logical
sense.
True faith teaches
the true reality inside
your heart and
soul can be trusted to have a common
structure with the true
reality in which we are immersed.
True faith teaches that
the noumenon is not evil
or good.
True faith is built
on the central pillars of honesty with oneself - a
reasonable, truthful,
logical ,
rational and realistic.
awakens an
understanding of the emotions that drive people.
It may come as a surprise to
many students of the Bible that in the original Hebrew text the body of water
the Israelites crossed when leaving Egypt is called yam suph, “Sea
of Reeds,” not Red Sea (Ex 15:4, 22; Dt 11:4; Jos 2:10; 4:23; 24:6; Neh
9:9; Ps 106:7, 9, 33; 136:13, 15).
Unfortunately, yam suph has
been rendered “Red Sea” in nearly all of translations, the Jerusalem
Bible and the New Jewish Publication Society Hebrew Bible being notable
exceptions.
The “Red Sea” phrase came into the account with
the third century BC translation of the Old Testament into Greek.
Septuagint translators made yam suph (“Sea of Reeds”)
into eruthrá thálasse (“Red Sea”).
The
Latin Vulgate followed their lead with mari Rubro (“Red Sea”)
and most English versions continued that tradition. |

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 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 cooperation. Cooperation 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.
