To
imagine consciousness
experiencing oblivion in
unconsciousness is an illusion from the
Darkside.
It is an illusion to
think that consciousness might discover upon unconsciousness that
nothing awaits it.
An individual enjoying
the perception that
consciousness is eternal has better
tools to contain emotional
turmoil.
Only consciousness
experiences emotional turmoil.
True
Knowledge of this aspect
of consciousness frees the Eternal Soul
from the bondage of Fear of
Death.
Spiritualism is individual.
Spiritualism is
personal.
Spiritualism is Creative.
Religion is
collective.
Religion
is impersonal.
Religion is
recreating ritually
acts of spiritual
creation.
"Rituals are superstitions;
they are adventitiously
reinforced.
The more
conspicuous and stereotyped
the behavior upon which
the reinforcer is
accidentally contingent, the greater the effect."
BF Skinner
"When people enjoy performing
a specific activity - athletic, scholarly,
artistically - then repetition becomes a
ritual and we note a reduction
in pleasure due to habituation.
The activity we once enjoyed has
become an ordinary experience.
Ordinary experience we don't seem to
notice or remember and at
sometime we will inevitably wonder why we are still performing the
activity.
Two devices allow people to beat pleasure reduction due to
habituation - increase the variety of activities or
increase the amount of time that
separates repetitions of an activity.
When
episodes of activity are sufficiently
separated in time, increased variety is unnecessary." - Daniel
Gilbert
Mystical experience
opens a window to the subconscious.
The most widely spread
method used by proponents of every religion is the contemplative meditative
prayer.
Other methods include:
fasting;
chanting;
self-flagellation;
engagement in
ritual practices;
holding a rigid body
position for a prolonged period;
and
entheognic methods of
engaging mystical experience.
The
mystic definition of salvation
and of Eternal Life can happen now, whereas
the literal definition
of salvation you will only find in
death.
Enlightenment,
redemption,
salvation, awakening,
reconciliation and
communion with God
all pivot around the
discovery of
timelessness.
An entheogen is a psychoactive
substance used in a shamanic context.
Entheogens come from plant
sources.
These contain molecules closely related to
endogenous neurochemicals.
A wide variety of psychedelics
are used in various religious rites.
Entheogens directly provoke what users
perceive as a mystical experience.
"Entheogen" refers
to any
molecule which stimulates the
central nervous system
through one of the two main neurological pathways:
phenethylamine - a
brain chemical associated with the adrenaline pathway, and a
precursor of mescaline and 2C-B;
tryptamine - a brain chemical
associated with the natural metabolism of
serotonin, a
precursor of psilocin, psilocybin,
n,n-dimethyltryptamine
and lysergic acid
diethylamide.
Within the
global paradigm shift in thought
processing occuring during entheogenic initiation
accepted abstract cultural
concepts shift with a new
perspective of time,
self-control,
agency and
self-conceptualization.
Metaphorical allegory: Step into Eternal Life, the experience of
timelessness; the discovery of the
existence of timelessness - life
suspended in a moment.
This is the Key
Mystics turn to win
Eternal
Life.
1955 Christopher Paget Mayhew, a
British member of parliament, is given 400mg of mescaline before BBC TV cameras
by Dr Humphry Osmond.
Chris is totally convinced that
consciousness exists outside
time.
Christopher Mayhew shows
no significant loss of
intelligence.
Christopher Paget Mayhew received a life peerage and
is raised to the House of Lords as Baron Mayhew.
"After brooding about it for several
months, I still think my first, astonishing conviction was right -
that afternoon I existed
outside time.
I don't mean this
metaphorically, but literally.
I mean
the essential part of me ("This is me") has
an existence conscious of
itself in a timeless order of
reality outside the world as we know it.
Though
perfectly rational and wide
awake I was not experiencing events in
the normal sequence of
time." - Christopher Paget Mayhew
Most interpretations of
the Jesus narratives suggests
Jesus gave his life to remove
the burden of original
sin.
To gain this
redemption from original
sin it has been claimed that
Jesus the Tekton freely gave
his own life.
If this is true then
Jesus did not live for
his own self.
Did he truly
give his life, or did
he become a victim?
The
state of selflessness, Nirvana, gained through
true knowledge or
gnosis is typically
misunderstood by both the individual and society in general.
Individuals
typically see selflessness as a loss of either
identity or
sovereignty.
Selflessness is an abandonment of
concerns of the ego.
Abandonment of concerns of the
ego does not mean a loss of
identity, but a loss of concern for the
fulfilling of previously established hedonistic desire.
Once
the requirements for continued
existence are fully met then all other hedonistic desire is simply
window dressing for the
ego.
An ego freed of desire exists in contentment and enjoys an
inner peace.
Ritualized pain can come
in many forms and appears in many religions.
The act of
self-flagellation is practiced by some
Shi'a and utilized by
many Christian sects, such as Opus Dei, throughout Christian history.
In
India the Standing Babas, or Khareshwari,
vow never to sit or lie down
in a self-inflicted punishment intended to spark spiritual
enlightenment.
They hope to experience
a mystical timeless
rebirth.
They want to grow out of an
entirely materialistic
concept of self.
A
consciousness overcoming delusion, māyā, takes
a higher perspective.
Self-sacrifice, once seen as a
noble endeavor, has become something other.
In a tight knit social group
self-sacrifice still is a noble endeavor.
In the
context of
MICE culture it is
a presentation of feeble
mindedness.
Self-sacrifice cannot be
an actual physical
sacrifice, as in the terrorist
act of a suicide bombing, and have any
lasting impact upon MICE
culture.
Only
noble self-sacrifice in MICE cultural is killing
the cultural
parasite.
This requires
a razor sharp
intellect that is not afraid of using the razor to
shave away the fungal overlay to reveal the
polished marble underneath.
Eleguá is a syncretic
deity of roads in Santería, Umbanda, Quimbanda, Candomblé and
Palo Mayombe.
Eleguá is syncretized with either Saint Michael,
Saint Anthony of Padua or the Holy Child of Atocha.
Eleguá is
known in Cuba and Puerto Rico as the Orichá and "owner" of caminos.
All ceremonies and rituals in Santería must first have the
approval of Eleguá before progressing.
Eleguá is known as
Èṣù- Ẹlẹgbára in the Yoruba
religion.
In Afro-Brazilian religion Èṣù-
Ẹlẹgbára is an Èṣù.
There are 365
paths to Èṣù or Exù - each one an
Èṣù- Ẹlẹgbára.
Individuals feel a sense of awe in the
presence of the sacred.
This is an
ultra awake state of
consciousness called 'lucid
living'.
There is a sense of
homecoming, a reunion with the Eternal
Soul.
Throughout history individuals from all cultures and
religious faiths have awoken
to experience lucid living -
Nirvana or integral
consciousness.
When living lucidly you are conscious that what you
thought was consciousness was, comparatively,
a hazy dream.
This
awakened state of enlightenment is participatory awareness. .
The foundation of lucid living or
gnosis rests on true knowledge.
The Greek language distinguishes
between scientific
or reflective knowledge
and knowing which is termed
gnosis.
Gnosis is an
intuitive process of
immersion in true
knowledge which leads to knowing oneself and, finally,
an understanding of human
nature.
Those who
claim to know nothing about ultimate reality are called agnostic.
Those who have walked the Thinspace
of noumenon are Gnostic.
Gnosticism refers to those familiar with the
Pleroma.
Insights are
expressed as analogies and
metaphors of local
culture.
Gnosticism is sometimes called 'the perennial philosophy'
because it has been found in all
cultures and at all times throughout mankind's history.
Gnostic teachings are to be taken in a
metaphorical sense as they are unique individual perspectives of the experience
of Integral
Consciousness.
Religions mired in literalism
are social clubs for people who want to
Walk with Æon but end up
worshiping the One True
Finger.
But the finger only points the
Way to the Experience
of Awakening.
Institutionalized religion functions
only as a social control mechanism.
Once sacred writings are
interpreted and literally set in social
cultural stone then the critical thinking,
a necessary and required step in the
attainment of awakening into gnosis, is abandoned for rote
interpretation by "experts" -
rabbis,
priests,
teachers,
prophets and
apostles -
intercessors to Æon.
"This reality is a passing dream
which the sleeper is convinced is
real, until unexpectedly the dawn of death frees him
from this fantasy." -
Rumi
Throughout history gnostics have ceaselessly exposed literalism in
religion as a pernicious source of
ignorance,
superstition,
division and
suffering.
In so doing
gnostics have been branded as
heretics and
persecuted through threat of death
by ruling classes interested in maintaining the status quo.
Taking
myths literally is the root cause of religiously sanctified
violence.
Experience of
gnosis, of awakening, answers
a profound human yearning.
The experience of gnosis' inspires people of all cultures to create
beautiful works of art,
gloriously soaring cathedrals and
temples, transcendental music and
songs, sublime
poetry and literature that
speaks to the heart.
The experience of gnosis has the ability
to rescue the teachings
of gnostics from under centuries of accumulated debris of religious
dogma. |

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 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.
