myth : in the
beginning
In an age veiled in the mists
mankind was not sexually
differentiated.
There were no births,
there were no deaths.
Within the eternal celebration,
a great public dance takes
place.
In the frenzy of the dance one of
the participants is trampled to death.
At the moment of death the
differentiation of sexes takes place.
Now death was balanced by
begetting, begetting by death.
From the buried parts of the
dismembered body food plants grew.
Time had come into being, death, birth,
and the killing and eating of other living beings, for the preservation of one'
own life.
That timeless
Golden Age, the Dreamtime, in which
all-is-one and
one-is-all was terminated by the communal crime
of murder - a sacrifice of life for the
group defined common good in hope of continued survival.
One of the
main problems of living deals
with reconciling the mind to this
brutal precondition of all life -
living by the killing and eating
other lives.
"R. Jehudah in the name of
Rabbi said:
Babylonian Talmud
The reconciliation of the
Eternal Soul to the horrific conditions of life is
fundamental to all Creation
myths.
Ancient
sacrificial rituals consist chiefly of killing, a reenactment of the
first primordial crime out of which arose
this imperfect temporal dualistic
reality.
All Creation
myths embed this element.
"In the beginning, the tribal god of the
patriarchal monotheistic
Israelite cult, was simply a powerful nomadic warrior god in a pantheon of
gods.
Yahweh was just a local tribal
god.
In most cultures there are two or three creation stories.
There are two in the Bible.
In the Garden of Eden story of Chapter 2:
God is trying to
think of ways to entertain Adam, whom
he has forged to be
assistant, to take care of his
garden.
That is an old, old story that was borrowed from
ancient Sumer.
The gods
wanted somebody to take care of their
garden and cultivate the food
that they needed, so they forged man.
That's the background of the
myth of Chapters 2 and 3 in Genesis.
The Gardener, Yahweh, is
bored.
So
Yahweh tries to invent toys for man.
Yahweh creates
the animals, but all the man can do is
name them.
Then Yahweh choses
to draw the soul of woman out
of Adam' own body.
This is a very different creation story than
that found in Chapter 1 of Genesis; God forges
Adam and Eve both in the
image of Himself as male and
female.
In this narrative God Himself is
the primordial androgyne.
Chapter 2 is by far the earlier story,
coming from the 8th century or so BC, whereas Chapter 1 is
a priestly text of
about the fourth century BC, or later.
In the Hindu story the Self
felt fear,
then desire,
then split in two.
In book of Genesis,
it is man, not God, who
splits in two.
So we
all now spend our lives trying to find and
embrace our other
halves.
The basic mythological theme
is All is One, and then
there is exponential
division resulting in an
infinite variety of
things." - Joseph Campbell
In Babylon the serpent carries
deception bringing
error into
temporal
reality.
In the Abrahamic religions the serpent
tempts man to turn his back on the Creator -
a refusal to affirm life and
blind himself to
Creation.
The nomadic warrior Cult of
Yahweh finds women either traitorous
whores, Delilah, or temptress goddess'
singing songs to Solomon.
In the reworking of
the myths of Ugrit, every
natural impulse becomes
sinful unless it has been
circumcised or
baptized by
the One chosen by
Melchizedek.
"Yahweh will see and provide" =
Yahweh-Jireh
"Yahweh who
heals" = Yahweh-Rapha
"Yahweh my protector" = Yahweh-Nissi
"Yahweh
who sanctifies you" = Yahweh-Mekaddishkem
"Yahweh our peace" = Yahweh-Shalom
"Yahweh our
righteousness" = Yahweh-Zidkenu
"Yahweh
is present" = Yahweh-Shammah
"Yahweh my shepherd" = Yahweh-Roi
The identification of
the woman with sin, of
the serpent with sin, and thus of
life with sin, is
the central pathological
ponerological psychopathic twist that has been given to the story in the
biblical myth of Original Sin or
the Fall.
Women are held
responsible for the Fall because they bring forth new life !
Man doesn't
enter life except through woman, and so it is woman who brings
human life into this mysterious
world of pairs of opposites and
suffering.
Nature is
corrupt, sex is corrupt, and the female, as the epitome of sex, corrupts
reality - its messy and complicated ! better not think about it !
It is a foolish attitude to say no
to life because life comes with pain !
Foolhardy attitudes entrance or enchant
the rationally dissociated
observer putting the intellectual back into
the deep hypnotic sleep
of hyperreality.
Sophia, the Mother of Temporal Reality,
brings Life into Being.
The
principal divinity of the Canaanites was El, the Creator.
Secondary
gods, who acted on Earth, were Baal and Baal's consort Asherah.
Sophia doesn't belong in a
monotheistic religion so
she is written out of the Mishnah
except in the guise of Esther, a
mortal woman.
Baal
becomes Chrestus for the Gnostic
Christians.
The serpent has always been
the symbol of the Mystery of Life.
The Sadducee cult of the Zaddikim, rejected
Life.
The rejection of the Mother
Goddess is the creation
story of the Garden.
Formerly you had
a dreamtime paradise there in the
Garden of Eden - no
time, no
birth, no
death
- no self-awareness of
participation in living.
The
serpent dies.
The
serpent is then resurrected shedding its old skin and renewing its
life.
The serpent is the lord of the
World Tree, where time and
eternity merge.
Yahweh, the
one who walks there in the cool of the evening, is a visitor.
The Garden is the serpent's
place. It is an old, old story.
We have
Sumerian seals from as early
as 3500 BCE showing the serpent, the tree and the
goddess, with the goddess giving the fruit of life to a visiting
male.
The mythology of the Mother
Goddess is right there.
The Garden
of Eden is a metaphor for an innocence that is
innocent of passage of time and
innocent of recognition of
opposites.
The dreamtime is the time
before consciousness becomes aware of itself.
Linear time does not exist and
humans have no self-awareness.
God,
appearing as a parent,
walks in the cool of the evening in the
garden.
In the Zorastarian conception of life a
battle rages between Ahura Mazda (Wise Spirit) and Angra Mainyu (Hostile
Spirit).
In the Biblical tradition these forces are analogous to the
forces of darkness and the
forces of light, of
good and evil,
battling for supremacy.
The Septuagint tradition
compartmentalizes the conception
of reality into thinking in terms of pairs of
opposites - night
and day, good and
evil, man and woman,
summer and winter,
wet and dry,
hot and cold,
etcetera.
Comparative dialecticism of the Alexandrian Hebrews is
emotionally sensational.
"Understanding
the deep meaning of things
brings essential peace.
The Way is a vast space where
nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.
Choosing to accept or reject
means we do see not the true
nature of things.
Live neither
entangled in outer
things, nor in inner
feelings.
Erroneous views will
disappear entering into the oneness of things.
Stop activity to achieve
passivity and your very
effort fills you with activity.
As long as you remain in one
extreme you will never know Oneness.
Those who do not
live in the Way fail -
both actively and passively.
Do not remain in the dualistic
state; avoid such pursuits
carefully.
If there is a trace of this and that,
mind-essence will be lost in
distraction.
Although all dualities come
from the One, do not be attached
even to this One.
When
mind exists undisturbed
in the Way, nothing in the
world can offend.
Without discriminating thoughts,
the old way of thinking ceases
to exist.
All dualities come from
ignorant inference." - Hsin
Hsin Ming
There is a standard folk
tale plot dealing with the One Forbidden thing.
Pandora
fell victim to the spell of
the cognitive deception of
hidden treasure.
Pandora is
tricked by Zeus into releasing all the evils
on humanity by thinking she is opening
a jar purported to flow with
unending bountiful gifts.
Bluebeard, says to his wife, "Don't open that
closet"?
Each wife is tricked by
her curiosity just as Eve was tricked !
How did we lose
touch with
Unity? |

One theme is
separation was somebody's fault.
The wrong fruit or
wrong words are said:
God gets angry and goes away.
Once that
happens the Eternal excludes humanity.
Mankind has to find some way to
get back in touch with the
Eternal.
In nature religions humans come from the
Womb of Mother Earth.
Often there is a
great ladder, chain or
mountain people climb.
The last people to want to get out are two
great big fat heavy people.
They grab the chain, and snap! - it
breaks.
So we are separated
from our source.
The
problem is to reunite the broken connection to
mystical insight.
A triangular Hindu image,
the Mother Goddess, has a dot in the center representing the
energy of the transcendent entering the
field of time.
And then from this triangle there come pairs of
triangles in all directions.
Out
of one comes two.
All things in the
field of time are pairs of
opposites.
A shift from
rational
consciousness to the consciousness of
participation.
Now you are in the
field of time.
Another theme
involves emanation and
precipitation without personification.
A sound precipitates
air, then
fire, then water and earth - creating reality.
Wholeness of the first sound
symphonically fragments within the
field of time.
When
an individual partakes of the
forbidden fruit of life he or she will
reject global consumer
culture and begin agitating for social
justice.
Falling into rebellion
an individual overcomes his or her social
conditioning.
Masters of their own life fight
popular cultural misconceptions of
reality.
The independent living of life begins with
the first act of disobedience marking
the emergence of free
will allowing the ability to
question tradition and observe
life as life is.
The Roman Emperor
Constantine was a follower of the Mysteries of Mithras as were nearly
all the officers of rank in the Roman Legions.
When the
Council of Nicaea chose the
myths to include in the New Testament they included
personally disenfranchising
ponerological elements.
Deeply
embedded in the collective
subconscious of Western
culture dualistic
categorization of magical thinking requires
a good or evil judgement.
The duality of good or evil is perspective
dependent.
There are things
that humans seek and things that
humans avoid.
A
conscious choice based upon erroneous information will spawn
error.
Spiritual
corruption occurs when a
consciousness blinds itself to a destructive pattern of erroneous choices,
particularly when they are compounded.

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 the Æon
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
¢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.
