Living in the moment
is commonly misunderstood as living for the moment.
In
the fable of the grasshopper
and the ant living in the moment is given the connotation of living
irresponsibly - but the fable presents only a
dichotomy.
Each choice exists at the
farthest extreme of diametrically opposed poles.
In reality if we
live like the ant we die like the
ant.
Our carcass
is carted off to the rubbish heap without a
second thought.
To live
like the grasshopper is to sell the future for purchased happiness
now.
But purchased happiness
lasts only until the credit
card bills catch up.
Looked at from this point of view both the
grasshopper and the ant, having taken extreme positions, pay the
inevitable price of their extremity.
Is there a middle way?
Naturally !
Living in the moment is
living in Eternity.
Eternity is
not some time in the far
distant future.
Eternity
is not even an infinite amount of time.
Eternity has nothing to do with
temporality.
Eternity is that
dimension of -
 - beyond all
thinking in symbols.
Although
we must plan and prepare for the
future we must also be able to enjoy every day of our lives by
allowing the beauty,
mystery and
awe of living to break through
the rational bonds
of preparing for the future.
When our tasks no longer seem like
tasks then our hearts float free.
Simply give yourself to the task and
immerse yourself in the
moment.
It makes no
difference to the engaged mind whether the task is
dancing,
building a road and
singing a song or
harvesting the grain and
carefully storing it away as long
as free will happily choses
the engagment.
Living in the moment is
accepting reality
Living in the
moment is enjoying reality
Living in the
moment is accepting existence
Living in the
moment is enjoying existence
"We are making the
insane but rational
choice to incinerate our common
wealth for financial profit.
This was foreseen ages ago by the
originator of the myth of King
Midas, whose touch turned everything to
 .
Delighted at first with his gift,
soon he had turned all his food,
flowers, even
his loved ones into
cold, hard metal.
Like King
Midas, we too are converting natural
beauty, human
relationships, the basis of survival, into
money.
Must we, like King
Midas, find ourselves marooned in a dead landscape on
a lifeless inhospitable world
before we realize we cannot eat
our money?" - Charles Eisenstein

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 Æ∞n
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 condones violence. To the contrary
the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that is already occurring due
to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to control the
human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already
controls the world economic system, c☸rp☸rate media
w☸rldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is
responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
bi☣hazards at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the populace in general through
c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior mass media psych☣l☣gical
☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the
fami♙y 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.
