The Universe, as
a Whole, is the best
possible.
The philosophers
would have us first learn of Æon.
Æon directs the Universe.
How else does Creation work so
regularly if not by admonishment of Æon?
Earthly things have a natural
agreement and union with heavenly things.
Would Æon make
vibrant color but not the
faculty of
seeing?
If Æon had made the
faculty of vision, but had not made
objects such for
the eyes to see, what would have been the
use of it?
Well, suppose Æon had
made both, but had not made light?
In that case, also, the
eyes would have been of no use.
When Æon
urges the plants to flower,
do they flower?
When
Æon urges them to send
forth shoots, do they
send forth shoots?
When Æon urges them to produce fruit,
do they produce fruit?
When Æon
urges the fruit to ripen, does it ripen?
How does the moon wax and the
wane? Does Æon urge
it?
Æon has given the
Seed of Life not
only to men, but to all life
generated on the Earth, for these are
formed in communion with
Æon.
Being by means of
reason conjoined with Æon - why should not such an individual call
himself a child of the
Earth, why not a son or
daughter of Æon, and why
should he be afraid of anything which happens among men?
Are we not
in a manner kinsmen of
Æon, did we not come
from Æon?
The man who would
walk with Æon must
strive to imitate Æon.
Æon
is faithful so man must be faithful.
If Æon is free, man must
be free; if Æon is beneficent, man must be beneficent; if Æon is
magnanimous, man must be magnanimous.
Thus as an imitator of Æon
he must follow Æon in every deed and word.
Material bodies are bound up with the
whole, as is the Eternal
Soul.
A carpenter
becomes a carpenter by
learning certain things.
A philosopher, by
learning certain things,
becomes a
philosopher.
In the present case
the mere desire to be wise and good
is not enough.
It is
necessary to learn certain things. This
is then the object of our search.
The
philosophers suggest we
mention that Æon provides for all things
and that we cannot conceal from
Æon our acts or intentions.
Reason distinguishes human
limitation as the
virtuous individual finds freedom
fulfilling natural
desire while avoiding unnatural
desire.
To each individual Æon has granted this
inward freedom in dealing with outward
things that he may desire what is not his
nor worth striving
after.
To be moved by human
affairs is to assent to some,
to dissent from
others but as to most things
to suspend judgement entirely.
After
so many impressions from so many
various things, after
being jarred awake by them,
do you fall upon notions
similar to those first impressed?
Is it difficult to see those
impressions in a new light?
How is it the Son is able to
Illuminate so large a part of everything?
Corruption is of two
sorts.
There is corruption of
intellectual understanding.
This happens when
a man obstinately refuses to
acknowledge plain truths, and
persists in maintaining what is
obviously self-contradictory.
There is corruption of the
Eternal Soul.
This happens when
a man obstinately refuses to
acknowledge the noumenon.
Nevertheless
Æon has placed by every
individual a guardian -
His
Son.
When you have closed
the doors and made darkness within, remember never to say that you are
alone, for you are not as the Son
is always with you!
These are the principles that in a
house create compassion, in
a city concord, among
nations peace, teaching a man gratitude
with cheerful
confidence.
When a man has
contentment through
reason, is he not at peace
alone?
He reflects, "Now no evil can happen;
everything is full of
tranquillity."
One person whose business it
is, supplies me with food;
another with raiment; another
with perceptions and another
with preconceptions.
If I am not supplied Æon signals retreat,
opens the door, and says,
'Go.'

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 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.
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 Ĉ∞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 ˘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.
