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 version of
reaλity on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs
when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religious 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 Æ∞n 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 condones violence. 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 control the human
race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls
the world economic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global industrial military entertainment 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 mass 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 ˘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.
