Compassion,
the essence of an Awakened
Heart must be cultivated upon the journey through life or it
withers.
Compassion is not a sentimental and
weak response.
All great religions use compassion as the supreme
unifying principle of life.
Compassion is the key that
unlocks the door which
leads to the
noumenon.
The catalyst of all
coöperation is the
neurochemical oxytocin which bonds human beings and eases
the natural
suspicion of strangers.
An added bonus is it makes
you happy.
When people
act compassionately toward each other oxytocin is
released.
compassion is defined as:to care for;
altruistic behavior;
a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of
affection
based upon an underlying sense of oneness
"Large creatures lavish far more care upon
their young.
Longevity requires creatures to interact with their
own species over longer periods of time.
Lengthy nurturing periods for
the young help create a complex pattern of social behavior that makes
altruistic behavior advantageous.
When examining particular social
interactions in ancient times, there is a need to avoid assigning contemporary
values of costs and benefits, rather than those appropriate to those in a
primitive hunter-gatherer society.
We have inherited a liking for
sugary and
fatty foods -
a fact that the food
industry and its advertising agencies
remorselessly exploit.
Our instinctive liking for such foods is
probably a remnant of the huge calorific benefit of these scarce resources for
early hunter-gatherers.
Analysis of optimal
behavior patterns
applies to sharing food, exchanging services, exercising care for youth,
hunting on behalf of others, and so forth.
Analysis of optimal
behavior patterns
leads us to expect that the tactics of bartering, and of games of strategy,
will be activities for which humans possess a transcultural affinity.
Analysis of optimal
behavior patterns
shows how social interaction - in particular, the repeated social interaction
that derives from longevity and large size in conditions where individualism
did not pay - has unexpected consequences for
the evolution of patterns of behavior that appear, at first sight, to run
counter to the expectations of
natural selection.
If we made contact with an extraterrestrial
society, we might expect that it evolved
from patterns of behavior that were once
naturally selected for in
preference to others.
We should not be surprised, under appropriate
circumstances, to find cooperative, altruistic
behavior at the root
of most systems of religious
belief. " - John D.
Barrow

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.
