The ancient Greeks called the
Earth 'beauty'.
Such
is the substance of things,
plastic power of the human eye,
primary forms,
the sky, the
mountain, the tree,
the animal, all give us a
delight in and of themselves; a pleasure arising
from outline, color,
motion, and
grouping.
This appears partly owing to the eye
itself. The eye is the
best of artists.
But this beauty of
nature which is seen and felt as beauty, is the least part.
The shows
of day, the dewy morning,
the rainbow,
mountains, orchards in blossom,
stars,
moonlight,
shadows in still water, and the
like, if too eagerly hunted, become
merely show and mock us
with their unreality.
Go out of the house to see
the moon, and it is mere
tinsel; it will not please as when its
light shines upon your
necessary journey through
Life.
Beauty shimmers in the yellow afternoons of
October.
Go
forth to find it, and it is gone; it is only
a mirage in windows of
diligence.
Every
natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact.
Every appearance in nature corresponds
to some state of the mind.
An
enraged man is a lion,
a cunning man is a fox,
a firm man is a rock,
a learned man is a torch.
A lamb is innocence;
snake is subtle spite;
flowers express delicate
affections.
Light and
darkness are
familiar expressions for
knowledge and
ignorance.
Heat for passion.
In
view of the significance of nature we see
nature is a branch of
knowledge.
This
use of the Earth includes the preceding uses, as parts of itself.
Space,
time,
labor,
climate,
food,
locomotion,
the animals,
the mechanical forces,
give us sincerest lessons, day by
day, whose meaning is
limitless.
They educate with
understanding through reason.
Every property of matter
is a school for the understanding, its
solidity or résistance, its
inertia, its extension, its figure,
its divisibility.
The understanding adds, divides,
combines, measures, and finds nutriment.
Reason transfers all these
lessons into its own world
of thought.
Analogy marries matter and
mind. This aspect of Nature is
devout.
Sensible objects
conform to premonitions of reason;
conscience reflection.
All natural things are
moral; in boundless reference to
spiritual nature.
Therefore is nature glorious with form, color, and
motion.
Every chemical change
from the simplest crystal up to
the laws of life; every
change of vegetation
from the first principle of growth in the eye of a leaf.
Nature, the
ally of religion, lends
pomp and riches to
religious sentiment.
Prophet and
priest,
David,
Isaiah,
Jesus, have
drawn deeply from nature.
This ethical character penetrates the bone
and marrow of nature.
She
kneels, breathing life into reality, hand outstretched toward life.
The happiest man is he who
learns from nature the lesson of worship."
Success
"To laugh often
and much;
to win the affection
of children
and the respect of
intelligent people;
to earn the
appreciation of
honest critics
and
endure the betrayal of false
friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the
Earth a bit better, whether by
a healthy
child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know that even
one life has breathed easier because you have
lived.
This is to have succeeded."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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 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 ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion 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 pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n
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 world central banking 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 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 psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns.
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 population 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.
