Agoraphobics
are notoriously resistant to treatment.
Psychologists find them
unusually imaginative,
creative and
intelligent but
extremely uncooperative
when expected to return to the collective.
These highly articulate,
self-imprisoned people
are nothing less than the canaries in the
coal mines of suburbia,
the first sensitive casualties in a
toxic cultural environment that is now affecting us all.
Kurt Vonnegut identified it as "a political
disease," afflicting people who lack the
essential emotional "damping
apparatus" that prevents them from "being swamped by the
unbelievability of social culture as it really is."
Lasting relief from agoraphobia did not
occur by changing the perceptions of suffers but by changing the pathology "out
there in the social group."
Rage and anger become the
foundation of stressed out
individuals suffering
from the pervasive psychological disorder of a pathological social
culture.
Many are
acutely depressed by
the collapse of civility;
unprecedented
homelessness; the acceptance
of torture as a viable method of extracting information;
competition for scarce
resources; preemptive invasions
built on lies; unprecedented incarceration
rates; toxic wastes fouling the Earth;
the glorification of violence,
murder and
genocide as
viable solutions to human
social problems.
Facing the
truth about the grim political realities eliminates
the paranoia that "it's all
in our heads."
Modern therapy focuses almost
exclusively on ego, separating an individual's
problems from those found in the social culture.
Treatment programs teach disturbed
citizens to cope (not
protest) to adapt (not rebel) to "work the situation" rather than "refuse the unacceptable."
"Therapy,
collaborating with governance, creates docile plebes." - James
Hillman
Americans, proudly
rooted in a heritage of rugged individualism,
do not generally think of
themselves as obedient - yet, as Victor Frankl
observed of American
culture, they follow
orders again and again to "be happy.".
"Now that I look back,
I realize that a life predicated on
being obedient is a very comfortable life indeed.
Living in such a way reduces to
a minimum one's own need to think." – Adolf Eichmann
Nobel
Laureate Heinrich Boll, after World
War II, said the most
dangerous flaw in the
character of the German people could be stated in one word:
Confusion occurs when
imagined abstractions
are mistaken for reality.
The
Cold War seeped into
the American psyche.
The baby-boom
generation was permanently imprinted with
the image of the mushroom
cloud.
Secret
decisions made behind closed doors in Washington had a direct impact on my
kindergarten finger-painting of a mushroom cloud 2,000 miles away,
as air-raid sirens drilled terror
into my head.
Crouched between the wooden runners,
minds squeezed with dread,
hearts pounding we were
hooked on adrenaline out
of the starting gate.
Reaching for the
lower rungs of the
corporate ladder we learned to
hold our liquor while understanding "Whoever dies with the
most toys wins."
With
narcissim
ascendent Wall Street gamblers
plundered America with leveraged
buyouts.
"Economic
competitiveness" allowed "market forces" to
plunder the environment
through deregulation.
Observers
reeling from cultural traumas
question the political
formula of Walter
Lippman and Edward
Bernays to be "purged of
feeling."
Americans,
taught to look away, allow unchecked
aggression.
American social culture is
fragmented,
megalomaniacal and
delusional.
200,000 acts of televised violence
an American child sees before turning 18 means one thing to
Arnold Schwarzenegger an
actor with made-up wounds
in fake wars who supports real
military aggression, and another for a
dismembered veteran from a real
war who now leads an unimaginable life.
Cold War secrets
reveal the
the specific details of
environmental
devastation.
If the
full details of:
the crazed patient hospitalized in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee disappearance;
Karen Silkwood
death in a car
accident, and the briefcase of missing
papers;
Iran-Contra documents are
under legal blockades at the National Archives;
lifting of gag orders in the
settlement of critical medical suits;
if buried research explaining
immune system
dysfunctions is released;
we will not be surprised by
the compromising secrets they contain.
Before any
radioactive or
toxic wastes can be dumped in the
deserts or the
oceans, they must first
pass through dozens of minds.
Secret plans have to be
discussed, secret orders
have to be issued, secret papers have to be
typed, secret cargo has
to be transported,
secret
destinations have to be reached.
Homeless are not dropped on the
streets by a deus ex
machina.
They
arrive through human actions and social choices.
Nonsense urban-renewal
redevelopment projects using eminent domian.
Elimination of unskilled jobs that pay
enough to support an individual.
Reinstitutionalization of the mentally
ill in private
prisons.
From
mental health
experts to taxpayers nearly all are guilty of
indifference.
Breaking the habits of
denial is no small chore.
Purged of feeling
individuals are trapped
behind veil of cognitive
blindness.
Political systems
that force individuals to
conform to industrial roles and
dehumanizing lifestyles
create individual suffering
on a massive scale.
"True ignorance is not the
absence of knowledge,
but the refusal to acquire it." - Karl
Popper

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.
