"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 have the skill to see to extract
the stainless steel
needle!
The biological reality is Mammals
learn from mimicking peers.
People mimic the personality
traits of those they venerate and hate.
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 that 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 to
guide humans in procuring sustenance.
There are also widespread
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, in the same way as
Hammurabi.
This
is a clever way to get the followers of
other gods to also worship you and your
god and tithe to your
god; an unseen immaterial entity
few can see.
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.
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 in, and can recite, the Nicene
Creed, as your key to
heaven, then you have totally missed the point.
The
Nicene Creed is a loyalty
oath to Emperor Constantine.
Jesus the Tannaim asks us
to have compassion for
our neighbors as it
is in our own rational self-interest. This is the mission of the
Living Christ.
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 Catholic
church.
We know very little of the life and teachings
Jesus the wandering
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.
For over seven hundred
years the doctrine of mental reservation has existed.
The idea of
mental reservation harkens to when there were two separate court systems -
ecclesiastical church courts and civil courts run be the state.
Mental
reservation was designed to protect the Vatican in civil court.
The
doctrine of mental reservation claims that it is morally justifiable to lie in
order to protect the reputation of the
institutionalized Catholic
Church.
A priest or nun
questioned about acts of clergy considered heinous, such as pedophila, the
priest or nuns are counseled prevarication
is morally justifible, required, and not a sin, under the doctrine of
mental reservation.
"I'm certain there are many Catholics who have never
heard of the doctrine of mental reservation. Let's call it what it is. It is
standing in a public forum, swearing to one's God to tell the truth and then
lying." - Victoria Martin
The Roman Catholic hierarchy claims
undermining the confidence of the faithful
in the church risks driving people away, dooming them to hell.
"Victims of sexual abuse by
priests suffer lifelong
trauma.
Mental
reservation to protect the church is immoral." - Marie Pietrasant
2007 Los Angeles Archdiocese pays $660 million
to settle abuse claims.
"I am horrified and angered to
tears at the
hypocrisy and enormity
of the sexual abuse that took place in
the Archdiocese of Los Angeles over the last 70 years: 570
victims abused by 221
priests." - Jerry Mazenko
"Priests don't emerge from a vacuum; those
growing up from the 1950s on have been exposed to
a culture with
pervasive "sex sells" mentality.
I
visited a Catholic monastery in Big Sur a few years ago and was impressed with
its film library - it looked like
a small Blockbuster.
"How can people steeped in
television and
sexuality from
childhood turn off
basic human
needs and desires for their entire
adult lives?" - Laura Brown
"It's not always harmful for kids to
have sexual relationships with adults.
A boy's sexual experience
with a priest could be positive.
When I was a minor, I had sex with
adults.
I'd say on balance that it was a perfectly good experience." -
Judith Levine*, Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From
Sex, Minnesota Star Tribune, March 26, 2002
The Roman
Catholic Church paid out $1 billion in claims in the 1990s alone.
And
then there was
Dagoberto Valle Arriaga who killed his son in the hope that
church authorities would not
discover that he sired a
child.
limbo417 AD Council of Carthage defines Limbo.
In
limbo an infant soul spends eternity in a state of "innocent happiness" but is
excluded from the
presence of God.
The
concept of limbo - Latin for "edge" - address' the
paradox unbaptised infants can't go to
heaven as their Original Sin
had not been expunged.
2007 International
Theological Commission of the Roman Catholic Church finds limbo reflects an
unduly restrictive view of
salvation and announces that unbaptised infants would now be allowed
through the Pearly
Gates.
"We can all breathe a sigh of relief now that the Roman
Catholic Church has abolished limbo and promoted babies that have not been
baptized to heaven.
Too bad it took the Church centuries to decide
helpless infants shouldn't
be held responsible for their theological views." - James
Underdown
"Wake me up when Catholics acknowledge the
Kingdom of Heaven is
within by assisting individuals to be
healthy enough to pursue a relationship with
divine will, instead
of to building bigger cathedrals."
- Mary Anagnos
modifications
"Every time the pope improvises the Vatican Secretariat of State
reviews and cleans up his remarks." - papal spokesman Federico
Lombardi
"There is a point a
religious institution loses
sight of its reason for existence and becomes primarily interested in
preservation." - Patrick Schulp
"There are no
tribes beyond us,
nothing indeed but waves and rocks,
and the yet more terrible Romans, from whose oppression escape is
vainly sought by obedience and submission.
Robbers of the world,
having by their universal
plunder exhausted the land,
they rifle the deep.
If the enemy be rich,
they are rapacious; if he
be poor, they lust for dominion; neither the
east nor the west has been able to satisfy them.
Alone among men they
covet with equal eagerness poverty and
riches.
To
robbery, slaughter,
plunder, they give the
lying name of
Empire;
they make a desert and call it
peace." - Tacitus |

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
reaλity and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
Ѵersion of Яeality on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance
☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us 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 Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière
Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery
re☦igion based on
reaso🐍 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 Æon through
the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of cu☮ing
the spi☮itual co☮☮uption 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 vi☬lence
that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartel 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 coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
bi☣hazards and guns.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate 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 pre☮☮ing emotional
bu☮☮ons 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 fami♙y 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 ¢oer¢ion 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.
