It is a struggle to maintain psychic equilibrium in
a culture that demands submission
to the laws of social
intercourse but refuses to ground those laws in a logical and universally
rational code of moral conduct.
"The whole of ethics rests upon
the same foundation.
For men find that they best promote their own
interests in the long run not merely by
refraining from injury to their fellows, but by coöperating.
Social coöperation is the foremost means by
which the majority of us attain.
It is on the implicit if not the
explicit recognition of this that our codes of morals, our
rules of conduct, are ultimately based.
"Justice"
itself consists in observance of the rules or
principles that do most, in the long run, to
preserve and promote
social
coöperation." - Henry Hazlitt
"The capacity for a noble, even a
holy life, is born within us.
It's part of
human nature, not something
put in from elsewhere.
We know the difference between
kindness and
cruelty,
truth and
pretense, and we
are, at our best, drawn to the better options.
A new Social Ethic is replacing our
traditional ethical
system in which the individual is primary.
The key words in this
Social Ethic are "social
adjustment," "social adaptation,"
"socially orientated behavior,"
"belongingness," "
acquisition of social
skills," "team
work," "group living,"
"group loyalty," "group dynamics," "group thinking," "group creativity."
Its basic
assumption is that the social whole has greater worth and significance than
its individual parts, that inborn biological differences should be
sacrificed to cultural
uniformity, that the
rights of the collective take precedence over what the eighteenth century
called the Rights of Man." -
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Revisited
Ethics
is defined as:
A set of principles defining correct
behavior within the social group.
The
philosophical study of
the cultural sets of principles, values and rules that
define correct behavior within the social
group.
Fundamental moral issues, such as
peace, social justice,
the healing of the sick
and the alleviation of
poverty, are traditionally the core values
of the followers of Christ.
The espousal of these issues
may be considered by some as a political platform statement.
It is
a political platform
statement for an Eternal Soul
that intends to follow in
the footsteps of Jesus the Tannaim.
there are two principles of moral
action:
A moral action reduces suffering of
Life.
An
immoral action causes
life to suffer.
Two features of
reality point any rational, self-preserving social agent in a moral
direction.
Both features are based on the
understanding life is not a
zero-sum game.
Firstly two individuals are
objectively better off if they both act in a non-selfish way than if each of
them acts selfishly.
Secondly if I ask you to work with me
I must decieve you if it privileges
my interests over yours as the
Rule of Reciprocity is in play trading favors.
"It is time to separate unchangeable
morals
from local
manners." - Mary Wollstonecraft
"The fact is that traditional morality has
practical authority, independent of whether God exists or not and whether or
not we know God's
will.
Traditional rules of conduct emerge over years, centuries through a
process of trial and error."-
Jonah
Goldberg*
moral is defined as:
arising from the conscience
using
the sense of empathy as a moral compass
a maxim of human social
interaction relating to rules of conduct
"Speaking then of the state, we regard this word as
nothing more than a certain civil-legal construction, existing only at the
discretion of our will.
This concession to comfort is a sign of common
understanding, impossible without the materialization of the fluidity and
spirituality of relations.
Yet, in the attainment of knowledge we
mistake a mere representation for reality; and so it is
a major curse for the type of understanding
necessary for the establishment of just human relations in society." -

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.
