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 cooperation
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 cooperation. Cooperation 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.
