"The
individual has always
had to struggle
to keep from being
overwhelmed by the
tribe.
To be your
own individual is hard business.
You will be lonely
often, and sometimes
frightened.
No price is too
high for the privilege of owning yourself."
Joseph Rudyard
Kipling
"America is
proud of its hyper-individualism.
We glorify the accomplishments of inventors, entrepreneurs and artists.
Although some individuals thrive, the plight the chronically homeless
tells me that our communities are also fragmented and disintegrating.
The Penan nomads of Sarawak, members of an indigenous and primal
culture in Borneo, have no technology or material comforts that compare.
But they have six words for "we."
Sharing is an obligation and
is expected.
An American child is
taught that homelessness is regrettable but inevitable.
A child of the
Penan is taught that a poor man shames us all." - Chip Ward
"The really hopeless victims of
mental illness
appear to be most normal.
They
are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they
are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society.
Adjustment to abnormal
society is a measure of their mental sickness.
Millions of
abnormally normal
people cherish "the
illusion of individuality" but
in fact they have
been to a great extent deindividualized.
Individuals have
had to deindividualize themselves, have had to deny their native diversity
and conform to a standard pattern, have
had to do their best to become automata." -
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Revisited
If you can keep
your head when all about you
men are losing theirs and blaming it on
you.
If you can trust
yourself when all men doubt you.
If you can wait and not be
tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, but don't deal in lies,
Or be hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good,
nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your
master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If
you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
and treat those two impostors
just the same.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by knaves to
make a trap for fools.
Watch
the things you gave your life to,
broken,
stoop
and rebuild them with worn-out
tools.
Joseph Rudyard Kipling |

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
central banking 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.
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
the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational, insightful and unpopular
thought. All factual information presented on this web site is believed to be
true and accurate and is presented as originally presented in print media which
may or may not have originally presented the facts truthfully. Opinion and
thoughts have been adapted, edited, corrected, redacted, combined, added to,
re-edited and re-corrected as nearly all opinion and thought has been
throughout time but has been done so in the spirit of the original writer with
the intent of making his or her thoughts and opinions clearer and relevant to
the reader in the present time.
