| "From its very
beginnings in Greece, the Western political tradition has looked upon the
political order as a common order created to deal with those concerns in which
all of the members of society have some interest." - Sheldon S. Wolin,
Politics and Vision |
Six points of individualist
vs collectivist belief systems
Origin of human rights -
intrinsic comes with creation
vs granted rights by
state.
Group
supremacy - individual supreme vs
individual sacrificed for
state.
Coercion vs
freedom -
"rule of law" vs
freedom of choice.
Equality vs inequality -
all treated equally vs
predatory
"exceptions".
Role of private property -
independence vs
dependence on state
institutions.
Proper role of the state -
distant protection of life,
liberty and property vs interventionist care providing
controller.
All collectivist regimes attempt destroy
any type of group
loyalty and transfer
that loyalty to the state.
On Christmas Eve, the
citizens of the Art Deco metropolis of Everytown find themselves under attack
by waves of flying bombers.
It is the first strike in a conflict that,
as a montage of dates and destruction tells us, will eventually wind down in
the 1970s, with Everytown reduced to ruins and society to
a feudal state
dominated by a demented warlord.
Things are looking grim indeed,
until a tiny, streamlined airplane arrives bearing an ambassador from
enlightened technocrats come together to form
a planetary government they
poetically call Wings Over the World.
New World Order solves
human survival problems of conquering
nature by moving
underground into the MGM Grand which
sports a giant flat
screen.
Industry
occurs on a massive scale with giant automated machinery watched
over by white coat lab
technicians, operating levers and pushing buttons.
New gadgets allow
instant communication, speed
transportation, and entertain people with
flat screen televisions,
wrist phones and flying
cars.
Flying Cars That Actually Fly
With the problems of life on earth
solved, mankind prepares to
take its first steps into space, thanks to a giant space gun that will fire
a capsule with a new Adam
and Eve into the starry night to round the moon and return.
The
only naysayer is a pesky artist who fears
so much progress
poses a threat to human
individuality so he builds a historical
mythical library.
civil
In accordance with
organized social order.
Sufficiently observing accepted
rules of conduct.
Obedience to authority in
performance of assigned
duties.
Relating to
citizens interrelations with one another and the state.
Relating to rights and remedies sought by
suit under civil code.
Ordinary community life as
distinguished from military or
ecclesiastical.
Having
the manners of one dwelling in a
city, as opposed to those
of savages.
Khoisan languages share
click consonants and do not belong to other African language
families.
Before the Bantu expansion, Khoisan languages, or languages
like them, were spread throughout southern and eastern Africa.
Khoisan
languages are currently restricted to the Kalahari Desert, primarily in Namibia
and Botswana, and to the Rift Valley in central Tanzania.
Khoisan
languages are endangered, and several are moribund or extinct.
Most
have no written record.
The only widespread Khoisan language is
Khoekhoe (also known as Khoekhoegowab, Nàmá or Damara) of
Namibia, Botswana and South Africa, with a quarter of a million speakers;
Sandawe in Tanzania is second in number with some 40–80,000, some
monolingual; and the !Kung language of the northern Kalahari spoken by ~
16,000.
Khoisan languages are best known for their use of click
consonants as phonemes. |
Respect Others:
See the actual individual by
acknowledging his or her acts.
Respect the whole person by
sharing feelings, time and physical space.
Respect others objectively
by abiding by the Rule of Reciprocity.
Accept Reality:
The glass is always full -
"half-full" of water and "half-full" of air.
Those who accept reality and
authority live longer and happier lives.
A positive attitude is an
emotional contagion easily spread.
Pay Attention:
The root of "attention"
is "to attend to."
Every act of acknowledgement or
kindness begins with attention.
Get off auto pilot and stop
running response scripts.
Stay Keenly

seat.
Identify
cultural conditioned subconscious self-gratification responses.
There are opportunities to
make a difference in every encounter.
Speak
Honestly:
Honesty inspires
others.
Lift
spirits by reconnection with truth.
Speak truth to step into lucid
living.
Accept Others:
"Have the same
manner for all human souls." - George Bernard Shaw
Be open but respectfully
reserved when culturally unsure.
Welcome others by sharing an
enthusiastic feeling of recognition.
Say "Thank You":
Acknowledgment of an
act of service or kindness.
Rediscover
Silence:
Noise to cover
constant background noises walls emotions away.
Silence is the bridge to
subconscious revelations and tranquility.
"Be silent - we may hear
the whisper of the gods." -
Ralph Waldo
Emerson
Listen:
To engage in a meaningful exchange
requires focus.
Focusing on the
speaker demonstrates we are lsitening.
Avoid interjections and
interruptions.
Keep Balanced:
Nonassertive behavior is a health
risk.
Bullying behavior is
a health risk.
Use the virtue scale to
balance behavioral response.
Express needs calmly
without intruding on the needs of another.
Events which occurred in the past are
events that have
happened before
Events occurring in this present moment
are
events that are happening
Events which will or
may occur in the future
are
events that will or
may happen sometime beyond
 
 
 
 
"Systems of ideology and
systems of religion can be
recognized by the kinds of
societies that invented them.
The means by which people feed themselves
determine how they think.
Agricultural societies believe in
rain gods and
seed gods and
gods for every
manner of thing that might affect the harvest.
People who herd animals
believe in a shepherd god.
In both these kinds of cultures you see
a primitive notion of gods as
helpers, as big people
watching from above, like
parents or
elder siblings.
Religions suggesting
sacrifice or even praying to a god to ask them to
do something material are the religions of desperate and ignorant people.
It is only when you get to the
more advanced secure
societies that you get a
religion ready to face the
universe honestly, to announce there is
no clear sign of divinity, except
for the existence of the
cosmos in and of itself, which means that
everything is holy." - Kim

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 mass 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.
All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and
opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed
