"We know that a
flower is made only of non-flower elements, like
sunshine, earth, water, time,
and space.
Everything in the cosmos comes together to bring about
the presence of one flower, and
these boundless conditions are what we call "non-flower elements."
Compost helps make the flower, and the flower creates more compost.
If we meditate, we
can see the compost right here and now in the flower.
If you are an
organic gardener, you know that already.
These are not just words.
It is our experience, the fruit of our practice of looking deeply.
Looking at anything, we can see the nature of inner being.
A self is
not possible without
non-self elements.
Looking deeply at any one thing, we see the whole cosmos.
The one is made of the many.
To take care of ourselves, we take care of those around us.
Their happiness and stability are our
happiness and stability.
If
we are free of the notions of self and non-self, we will not be afraid of the
words self and non-self.
If we see
the self as our enemy and think that
non-self is our savior,
we are caught.
If we see
the non-self as our
enemy and think that
self is our
savior, we are caught.
We are trying
to push away one thing and
embrace another.
When we realize that to take care of the self is
to take care of non-self, we are free, and we don't have to push away either."
- Thich Nhat
Hanh

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.
