The hypocrite preaches freedom while demanding
subservience.
"Why do you see the
needle in your brother's eye
but fail to see through
the blindfold over your own eyes?
How can you say, 'Brother let me take the needle out of
your eye,' when there
is a blindfold over your eyes?
Why worry about the
needle in the eye of a
brother when you are unable to remove your own blindfold
?
Should you say, 'Brother,
let me help you get the
needle out of your eye,' while you are wearing a blindfold !
Remove the blindfold from your eyes, so you can see to
remove the stainless steel
needle !
"The pictures I had of God were too small, too
parochial, too much a reflection of the ways humans think. We made God in our
image!"
Sister Miriam MacGillis
"I ask you, when do men fallen their brothers with
mighty weapons and bloody acts?
They do such if they do not know that
their brother is themselves.
They themselves are sacrificers, but they
mutually do the service of sacrifice.
They must all sacrifice each
other, since the time has not yet come when man puts the bloody knife into
himself in order to sacrifice the one he kills in his brother.
But whom
do people kill?
They kill the noble, the brave, the heroes.
They take aim at these and do not know that with these they mean
themselves.
They should sacrifice the hero in themselves, and because
they do not know this, they kill their courageous brother.
The time is
still not ripe.
But through this
blood sacrifice, it should
ripen.
As it is possible
to murder a brother instead of oneself the time is not ripe.
Frightful things must happen until men
grow ripe." - Carl Gustav Jung
Mammals learn from
mimicking peers.
People mimic the personality
traits of those they venerate.
An insurmountable problem with
Christianity is the cultish requirement that
disciples "believe" a
set of dogmatic concepts that require a
"leap of faith".
Anyone can
claim to have undergone a "leap of
faith" and be "saved".
Unfortunately there is no way
to know if their
profession of belief is genuine or just an assertion in the hope of
fitting in with the social group.
Many myths from
the era of time Jesus
lived speak of gods
descending to Earth in the form of a human.
There are also
myths that speak of
virgin birth.
Wherever the Catholics
have gone as missionaries they have
taken local gods and added them to
their pantheon as Saints, same as
Hammurabi.
This is a clever way to get the followers of
other gods to also worship your god and
tithe to your god which may be falsely
presented.
This politically motivated adoption of other gods began
in Egypt, was
adopted in the Levant,
adopted by the Greeks and,
finally, the Romans.
Ancient
religions are littered with myths of gods descending from heaven to have
intercourse with women who birth half-god, half-men
offspring.
The requirement of believing in the divinity of
Jesus of Nazareth is a
problem in that it takes the emphasis off of the
Living
Christ.
Common Christian belief is that Jesus died for
communal sin.
If Jesus lived and died for
us, Jesus was selfless.
When the major concern is whether or not you
believe that Jesus is God, as that
belief is your key to
heaven, then you have totally missed the point.
Jesus the Tannaim asks us
to have compassion for our
neighbors as
it is in
our own rational self-interest.
Jesus the
Therapeutae set out a blueprint for mankind to create heaven on Earth but
this is not clearly reflected in the theology of the
Christian church.
We truly
know very little of the life and teachings
Jesus the
Tekton.
Synoptic
gospels were written decades, possibly centuries, after Jesus
lived.
Tannaim of Jesus era used the
Oral Tradition to impart
wisdom.
This would
have been in the form of proverbs,
fables and
parables.
We know that
religion evolves, that
religion is political, that
motivations of mythweavers
change over time and that
understanding of
reality evolves.
Men
that have a vested interest in the status quo of existing institutions are
not likely to give up their position
nor are they likely to analyze and
criticize their meal ticket
even if they have an epiphany and
recognize the
fallacy. |

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.
