Compassion must be cultivated upon
the journey through life or
it withers.
The essence of an
Awakened Heart compassion is not
a sentimental 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 alien culture.
Oxytocin unlocks the boundaries allowing
mirror neurons to fire in
sinc.
When people act
compassionately toward each other oxytocin is released.
altruistic
behavior;
a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of
affection
based upon an underlying
sense of oneness
Compassion expands individual
boundaries.
Fear of death is
implicit in objectivist
science.
Compassion breaches the fortress
of separation
Large creatures lavish far more care upon
their young.
Long lived creatures interact with their own species
over longer periods.
Lengthy nurturing periods for the young helps
created a pattern of social behavior that makes altruistic behavior
advantageous in small groups.
When examining particular social
interactions in ancient times there is a need to assign values appropriate to a
primitive hunter-gatherer society.
We inherited a like for
sugary and
fatty foods - a behavior that the
'food processing' 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 behavior patterns reveals tactics
of bartering, and games of
strategy, will be activities for which humans possess a transcultural
affinity.
When making contact with any culture alien to ours we
assume it evolved from patterns of
behavior naturally selected for
in preference to others.
We should not be
surprised, under nearly every
circumstances, to find cooperative, altruistic behavior at
the root of
most systems of religious
belief
What is
?
Adoration is possessive.
Compassion is
encompassing.
Awe is
epiphany.
Agápe is
Ikigai.
Athbhreith
Athbheochan
Ancient Greek has four
distinct words for 'love':
Agápe,
Éros, Storge and
Philía.
Agápe is
unconditional compassion for all existence.
Éros is passionate 'love' or lust - the
sensual erotic desire of sexual possession of the body of
another.
Storge is familial
loyalty.
Philía is
loyalty displayed through
affection over time.
Philía has four children: two sets of
twins ~ !
Two forms of inwardly expressed "love" in Philía
suggest two forms of outwardly expressed "love" in Philía.
Feelings vacillate.
One can be enamored
with self.
One can
be enamored and awed by another.
One can care about oneself or
one can hate oneself.
One can care about another or
one can hate another.
Narcissists gaze longing
into the pool only seeing mask they wear,
never seeing their true
countenance reflected.
Standing on
a thinly veiled fear of death,
skating on the thin ice of not-life,
waiting to fall down a
rabbit hole.
Outwardly expressed
projection of Philía by a
narcissist may
appear genuine but a narcissist
wears a mask.
Philía's evil twin,
living on the other side of the
mirror, then rears her ugly head and
strikes like a Cobra!
The rule of recoprocity does not apply to the
Chosen
!
The
Greeks recognized two forms
of self-love in
Philía.
In its negative form philautia is
the selfishness with
wants of pleasure,
fame, and
wealth beyond natural
needs.
In its positive form philautia is
feeling secure in
oneself leaving
plenty of
empathy for validation of others.
Agápe is the movement of the Holy
Spirit.
Agápe is manifested in three actions:
In
romantic affection, the
psyche moves toward the object of its erotic
affections in the hope of merging.
In
philosophical
contemplation, the mind contemplates the
reality of nature through the
exercise of reason.
In mystical transformation, the
Eternal Soul
Walking the Thinspace desires
infinite Union with the Soul of
Æon.
Confused Christians believe Agápe entails
self-sacrifice.
Agápe
requires self-sacrifice,
not as commonly
perceived.
Agápe requires
self-sacrifice of ego, a
release of agency.
Agápe of the Creator and
Sustainer is seen in Creation.
Natural selection
pushes in the direction of true selflessness.
With the
emergence of
reciprocity humans learned to
trade favors.
A
favor-giver avoids blatant
cheaters preferring generous
reciprocators.
A competition arises between actors wanting to appear
to be generous.
At this time a reputation for fairness and generosity
becomes an asset.
The most effective way to appear generous and fair, is
to be so.
The genuinely generous partners are weaned from
the
hypocrites.
Some agents
evolve to be genuinely high-minded -
they become
activists.
Not one of you is a believer until he loves
for his brother what he loves for himself.
No one of you is a believer until he desires
for his brother that which he desires for himself.
And if thine eyes be turned towards justice,
choose for thy neighbor that which thou choosest for thyself.
This is the sum of
duty:
do naught to
others if done to thee would cause thee pain.
Whatever is disagreeable to yourself do not do
unto others.
Compare oneself to others in such terms as,
just as I am, so are they, just as they are, so am I .
An it harm none, do what thou wilt.
Tzu-kung asked,
"Is there a single word
to guide conduct through life?"
The Master answered,
"It is shu
- reciprocity:
 "
This is the sum of duty:
infliction of
pain is reflected like a mirror.
Hurt not others with that which pains
yourself.
The heart of the person before you is a mirror.
See
there your own form.
Yoruba Proverb
(African
traditional religion of Nigeria)
One going to take a pointed stick to poke a baby
bird
should first try it on himself to feel the pain.
Roman Paganism
If you haven't the will to gladden a
heart,
then at least beware lest you hurt a heart,
for on our
path, no sin exists but this.
Regard your neighbor's gain as your own
gain
and regard your neighbor's loss as your own loss.
Unitarianism
Do for one who may do for you,
that you
may cause him thus to do.
Do not return evil to your
adversary;
requite with kindness the one who does evil to
you,
maintain justice for your enemy, tolerate your enemy.
Humanism
Humanists acknowledge
human interdependence,
the need for mutual respect and the kinship of all humanity.
What is hateful to you,
do not to your fellow men.
That is
the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.
Lao Tze, a contemporary of
Confucius, writes in the 6th
century BC.
Siddhartha Gautama
teaches at the dawn of the 5th century BC.
Socrates perfected instructions
to his students as the 4th century closed.
Jesus the Tekton
died for sharing proprietary
knowledge imparted by the
Therapeutae and
Philo the Pythagorean thus
upsetting the social order.
Freed of the unnatural desire
of controlling
reality we find sacred
peace.
The "Axial Age" is the
fulcrum of cultural awakening from
mythological
consciousness into rational
consciousness for humanity
on a whole.
Axial Age
sages experiencing integral consciousness
recognized tempering brute
selfish rationality in Gesellschaft culture required
the participants to abide by the Rule of Reciprocity which worked in
tight knit social
groups.
The ancient call of
empathy abandons selfishness and
embraces compassion.
Compassion is hollow of value as an
abstract concept.
Literalist movements are
concerned with promoting doctrine out of
context and work endlessly
to sheild religious dogma from the light of reason.
Institutionalized religion
keeps the concentration on
compassion safely within the
approved understanding
of the chosen circle of believers.
Muhammad ibn 'Abdullāh, operating in
integral
consciousness, wanting to craft a humanity that understood
integral consciousness sung a
song.
In the Garden of
Nirvana where integral consciousness reigns emotional suffering ceases and
compassionate behavior
dethrones the stifling ego.
Cultural traditions are seen
as the Masquerade they
are by True Prophets.
True prophets understand that
respect for Life brings you into
the Presence.
Ekstasis, or ecstasy, in Greek
means "stepping
outside."
Anyone can step
into integral
consciousness by "stepping outside"
rational thought
patterns by recognizing the
limitations of rational dissociation.
Integral
consciousness - outside the prison
of primitive emotion supporting
egotism,
selfishness,
greed and envy - is not
an exotic state of
consciousness.
To do so simply requires
the sacrifice of preconcieved notions.
The way to end hostility is to
learn to think and practice the
Golden Rule.
We return thanks to our Mother,
the Earth, which sustains
us.
We return thanks to the
rivers and
streams,
which
supply us with water.
We return thanks to all
herbs,
which furnish
medicines for the cure of our diseases.
We return thanks to the
moon and
stars,
which
give us light when the sun
was gone down.
We return thanks to the
Sun,
that has looked upon the
Earth with
a beneficent eye.
Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,
in
Whom is embodied all
goodness,
Who directs
all things for the good of Her
children.

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 reality 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 the Æon
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 w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, 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 corrupt international 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
pressing emotional
buttons 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 family 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.
