How to Judge

Constant Comparision



"Man rationally must cautiously suspend

judgement
to consider the limits of his knowledge."

Michel De Montaigne







illusions that lead to errors in judgement

fallacies that lead to errors in judgement

effects that lead to errors in judgement

deviant thought patterns that lead to errors in judgement

why you think you're right - even if you're wrong






"Perception and truth are realted to the

experience and judgement of the individual."

Protagoras




judgement is defined as:

discernment;

act of assessing;

formation of an opinion;

ability to perceive and distinguish relationships.


Judgment is a natural instinctive reaction required for survival.

Members of a hierarchical social structure are conditioned to conform.

To conform one must observe others and compare oneself to those others.

Self-judged personal performance requirements are based upon observation and mimicry of the behavior of others of similar or desired social status.

No longer making judgements for survival then that mental function, which still occurs, will judge something else, perhaps abstract and trivial.

If our performance, in our judgement, does not meet our expectations, based on conformance observations, then we will suffer emotionally.

Although we can not stop judging we can change the focus of our judgement from one of performance and conformity to one of diversity.

To act in a rational manner one must take all variables into considereration.

Rationality runs into a brick wall as there are too many bricks to count.

If we no longer are concerned with conforming to a particular standard then we no longer are compelled to perform and we can enjoy the moment.

Eventually, at some point in out lives, we recognize the Last Judgement is simply the last time we judge ourselves - either we have come to realize the fruitless of overanalysis and judgement or we have stopped breathing.

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 rational gnostic mystery 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 Æ∞n and Sustainer 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.
