miracle
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is
as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though
everything is a miracle." - Albert
Einstein
"Since man cannot live without miracles, he will
provide himself miracles of his own making. He will believe in
witchcraft and
sorcery, even though he may
otherwise be a heretic,
an atheist, and
a rebel." - Fyodor
Dostoyevsky
Miracles are a product of
dreamweavers,
mythweaver and
storytellers walking the
Thinspace hoping to
share the noumenon
with the blind.
Rational human minds
ache for something mysterious,
something seen in
dreams at the edge of consciousness, that aches to be discovered.
To induce awe in the engaged
rational mind through the narrative process is difficult as
the listener is engaged
in listening with the part
of the mind that shies away from
making abstract connections
from physical descriptions.
Dreamweavers attempt to
breach this barrier
through the use of colorful
metaphor,
appropriate
analogy and ridiculous
comparisons.
To reach the realms of
mythical
consciousness and magical consciousness
the mythmaker works to dissociate the rational
mind, making listener Observer.
Using breaches of physical law as
examples of power beyond common
mortal imagination to induce awe has been a
common theme across human cultures.
"Two things fill the mind with
ever increasing admiration and
awe, the oftener and more
steadily we reflect on them the starry heavens
above and the moral law
within."
Immanuel Kant
A farmer went out to his
field to sow seed.
As he scattered the hemp seed on the earth, some
of it fell on a footpath and was
trampled.
Other hemp seed fell on shallow soil with rock beneath.
Birds came and ate many seeds as they
lay exposed.
A few hemp seed began to grow, but
soon withered and died for
lack of moisture.
Other hemp seed
landed in a lavender patch
and the young seedlings were soon
choked out.
Still
other fell on fertile soil;
this seed grew and produced a crop
one hundred times as large as had been planted.
If anyone has ears that hear, use them
now!
The Hemp
Seed is Word of God shared with men.
The hard path where some
hemp seed fell represents the hard hearts as
spiritual
c✡rrupti✡n steals away the
Word.
The stony earth represents those who
listen to sermons, but somehow the
Word never really
takes root and grows.
They know that the Word of God is true and
believe but when the hot winds of
persecution blow they lose
interest.
The seed among thorns represents those who see but whose
faith is choked out by
materialistic
pragmatism.
They are incapable of helping anyone hear the
Word.
The fertile
soil represents honest, good hearted people.
They become the Word of
God, steadily spreading that Word to others who also
soon begin to see and
hear.
"The Ancients did not take
notice that there were several kinds of blight, neither did they inquire after
their causes.
This lack of curiosity and observation prevented them
from learning their causes
and developing effective remedies against blight.
They called it in
general by the name of "rubigo" or "rust" for the likeness of the blighted
straws and leaves to the color of rusty iron.
They thought it came from the
gods since they were ignorant of the natural causes.
Virgil tells
the common farmer in plain terms if his grain is eaten with blight there is no
better advice than to comfort hunger with acorns."
Jethro Tull, Horse
Hoeing Husbandry |
The fields are always wet with
rain After a summer shower Then I
saw you standin' Standin' in The
Garden Wet with
Rain
You wiped
the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
We watched the petals fall
down to the ground
And as I sat beside you I felt a
Great sadness
that day In The Garden
And then one day you came back
home You were a creature all in rapture You had the
Key to your Soul
That day you came back To The Garden
The olden summer breeze was blowin' gainst
your face The Light of God was shinin' on
your countenance And you were a violet colour as you Sat beside
your father and your mother In The Garden
The summer breeze
was blowin' on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery
words And as
the shiver from
my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight in
The Garden
And you went into a
trance
Your
childlike vision became so fine
And
we heard the bells within the
church
We loved so much
in
the presence of the
youth of eternal summers
In The Garden
And as
it touched your cheeks
so lightly Born again you were and
blushed And we touched
each other lightly as we felt the presence of the
Ḉhri§t Ḉon§ḉiou§ne§§ within our
Hearts
In The Garden
And I turned to you and I said
No guru,
no method,
no teacher Just
you and I and Nature And
the Father in The
Garden
Listen No guru, no
method, no teacher Just you and I in nature with
the Father and
the Son and
the Holy Spirit In The Garden
Wet with rain
No guru, no method, no teacher Just
you and I in Nature
with
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit In that Garden,
The Garden, wet with rain
Yeah. Alright.
No guru,
no method,
no teacher Just
you and
I and
Nature and
the Father In The
Garden
Van Morrison
"With
one mind, we
honor the Food
Plants we harvest.
Since the beginning of time, the grains,
vegetables, beans, and berries have helped people survive.
Many other
living things draw strength from them, too.
We gather all the Food
Plants together as one and send them a greeting
of thanks." - Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address
Garden is defined as:
a
paradise
rich,
well-cultivated land
"Once upon a time, when the
science and art of gardening was not yet well established among men, there was
a Master Gardener.
In addition to
knowing all the qualities of plants - nutritious, medicinal and aesthetic - he
had been granted a knowledge of the
Herb of Longevity.
He
visited gardens and cultivated places throughout the World.
He planted
a wonderful garden, and instructed disciples in sustaining it.
Accustomed to seeing some of the plants come up and flower every year,
the people soon
forgot to collect seeds, propagate from cuttings, and so on.
The result
was that the garden eventually became wild, and people started to regard this
as the best garden there could be.
After giving people many chances to
learn, the Master Gardener expelled
them and recruited another whole
new group of disciples.
He warned if they did not keep the garden
in order they would suffer.
They, in turn, forgot - and, since they
were lazy, tended only those fruits and flowers which were easily reared and
allowed the others to
die.
The Master Gardener made gardens
wherever he could, but none was ever perfect as the one he himself tended with
his chief assistants.
It became known there were many gardens and many
methods of gardening.
People from one garden would visit those of
another to discover.
Books were written,
assemblies of gardeners
were held.
Men are easily attracted by the superficial.
They
say: 'I like this flower,' and they want everyone else to like it as well.
In spite of its attraction or
abundance it might be
an invasive species crowding out others providing medicines or food for
sustenance.
Among these gardeners are those who prefer plants of one
single color.
When the ancient gardener passed beyond he left an
endowment of whole knowledge of gardening distributed across the entire face of the
planet.
So the Science
and Art of gardening remains a scattered
heritage.
People brought
up in one garden have been powerfully instructed to the benefits or
disadvantages of how the inhabitants are supposed to see things.
They are incapable of
recognition of the need to return to
The Garden.
From
time to time true gardeners do arise.
Such is
the abundance of fake
gardens that when they hear of real ones people say: 'You are talking of the garden we
imagine we already have.'
What they have and what they imagine is
possible are both
inadequate.
The Real Experts, who cannot reason
with the fake gardeners, hang out together
spreading useful specimens in private to maintain vitality.
They are
often forced to masquerade, as
gardening is an artful science.
"We live off of
what comes out of the soil, not what's in the bank. If we squander the
ecological capital of the soil, the capital on paper won't much matter.
For the past 60 years, we
have followed industrialized agricultural policies that have increased the rate
of destruction of productive farmland.
For those 60 years, we let
ourselves believe the absurd
notion that as long as we have money we will have food.
If
we continue offending the land by
which we are fed, the food
supply will decline, and we will have a problem far more complex than
the failure of our paper
economy.
If monoculture is unsustainable, there is no
food supply.
When we face
the fact that civilizations have
destroyed themselves by destroying their farmland, it's clear that we don't
really have a choice." - Wes Jackson

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 en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us
int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us
ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière
Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion 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 pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n
through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing
the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The
tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out
in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against
individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a
"hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes
vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that
is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and
the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards 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 p☠pulace in general
through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have
been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior
c☢rp☢rate media psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns.
The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of
s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal
elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion and coercion the
dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has
been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt
internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which
further their purposes.
