The
invasion of Afghanistan was
presented as a war against the
Taliban as well as
a war against
Islam as represented by the
fanatic Wahhabi
cult.
The truth is it is a war
against Gnosis presented as a war against Mythos.
The concept of a clash of
civilizations is as old as civilization itself.
Hellenism smashed head on into
cultures from Crimea,
Persia,
Jerusalem, the
Indus Valley and
Eygpt.
Rome clashed with
Celtic Gaul and eventually the
rest of the known world.
1926
Young
Islam on Trek: A Study in the Clash of Civilizations, Basil
Mathews.
1946 Albert Camus popularizes the term
'clash of civilizations'.
1988 Girilal Jain
adopted it in his analysis of the Ayodhya dispute.
Babri Masjid is
built on land traditionally considered by Hindus to be the birthplace of the
Hindu deity, Rama.
Babur built Babri Masjid on the birth ground of Rama,
prefiguring the Ayodhya dispute.
The "War on Terror" or "Long War" has been presented by
think tank experts,
journalists and
academics as another "Clash of
Civilizations".
First marketed to
NATO as a rally point by
Bernard Lewis it was defined
as an epistemological battle between Logos and Mythos with Western
civilization -
the 'advanced' 'rational' social
culture based on science,
logic and
reason - representing
reality {Logos} and Islam
representing myth {Mythos}.
Epistemology is the branch of
science and philosophy that concerns
knowledge, specifically,
how we know what we know.
Mythos, relying on
intuition and
emotion, embodies
a form of mental artistry which
symbolically and
aesthetically resonates with an
individual's past subconscious
experiences of personal events leading to
a mythically
enlightened understanding of Яeality or
emotional intelligence.
Logos relies on
linear thinking, reason and
logic, on what we call rational ways of knowing,
the building blocks of scientific
discovery.
The Spiritual/Mythos (subconscious/right
brain) and the Rational/Logos (conscious/left
brain) thought forms exist
together in every society but
religious literalists and
secular ideologues are
blind to that reality.
The
utopian visions of
secular ideologues, as well as
those of religious literalists,
are really only delusions of
socially engineered grandeur.
Theocratic absolutists of
all types - Historians, Transhumanist,
Statist,
Militarist,
Transsexuals and Consumers - worship at the altar of
blind faith.
Absolutists demand obedience
to 'sacred books' or
schools of thought.
Critical thinking and
intellectual pursuits are
to be condemned.
In the madrasah, the
Islamic religious schools in
Pakistan and
Afghanistan, students
are strictly forbidden from
learning anything except the
Qur'an - as a literal
historical text.
Without an understanding of
metaphor,
archetypes,
cognitive and
cultural bias and
historical perspective the Qur'an
presents an out of context Mythos
just as the Christian
Bible and the Talmud do.
Wahhabi envision themselves
not as individuals with desires, a
relatively modern notion, but as
Automatons for Allah.
This is also true with Christian Zionists like Chris Kyle,
the American Sniper, who believed in
"killing ragheads" for
Jesus.
"We have to
recognize that Jewish blood and the blood of a goy are not the same thing."
- rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg, New York
Times 6/6/89
1095 Pope Urban II launches the First Crusade after
hearing the balance of power in the central Asian
Seljuk empire has
dissolved into infighting.
1220 Discord
flares up in the Empire of
Chingiz Khan.
Mongols are shamanists venerate the forces of
Nature while also acknowledging
the existence of a unifying mystery
like Native Americans.
In response to the Crusades and the Mongol
invasion Islam turns from the path of
enlightenment towards a more
literal translation of the Quran much as
Christianity had done
over 800 years earlier.
The path of
literal religious zealotry creates cultural stagnation as
thought outside traditional thought
patterns is forbidden.
The stagnation in
Saudi Arabian Wahhabbism
mirrors the stagnation that
occurred in the Christian countries of the decadent
Holy Roman
Empire.
"So it is down to you and it
is down to me."
… in the battle of wits between
Wesley and the Sicilian
in the
movie The Princess Bride the Sicilian states,
"You
fell victim to one of the classic
blunders
- never get
involved in a land war in Asia."

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 propaganda from
Яeality 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
the Æon through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the
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 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 coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship behavior 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 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 press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior c✡rp✡rate media psychological
operations. 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 coercion 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.
