In the
Golden Age mankind knew the
Secret of the Mystery of Life.
Ancient mankind lived a blessed life in
symbiotic communion with Nature until
a terrible communal wrong
occurred and Lumière Infinie
withdrew.
2,000 years ago a wide ranging
Pagan Gnostic mystery tradition
flourished among all the cosmopolitan cultures
of the ancient world which had been trading, conquering and synthesizing
each other for centuries.
597 BC
Records suggest a large number of Judeans took refuge in Egypt
after the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah.
These
Judeans founded the community of
Alexandrian Hebrews which
eventually produced the Septuagint and, later,
the Alexandrian Talmud.
This transformed
entire Mediterranean region
into essentially one Hellenized culture.
480
When Pythagoras turned eighteen there arose the tyranny of
Polycrates.
Pythagoras foresaw that under such governance his studies
might be impeded.
Pythagoras travels the world learning the divine
philosophies of the ancient world first from Orphic followers and the mysteries
of Eleusis, Imbrus, Samothracia, Delos; then from Eygptian priests; the
Chaldeans and the Magi; and finally Celtic and Iberian.
Pythagorian
divine philosophical writings begin to circulate.
Pythagoras insists
that all writings on marvels remain intact but that they should be carefully
compared to Pythagorian harmonics for accuracy.
It was generally
acknowledged about Pythagoras that "a golden beard had fallen from a statue" as
the combination of stories - such as speaking in two places remote from each
other on the same day - could not have happened with any mere mortal
man.
Heraclitus of Ephesus,
mocked Pythagoras as a clever
charlatan, remarking that "Pythagoras, son of Mnesarchus,
practiced inquiry more than any
other man, and selecting from these
writings he manufactured a wisdom."
Pythagoras taught
there is no contradiction
as Nature is harmonic.
Pythagorians taught there were three states of
mind: exartysis or readiness, synarmorge or fitness and
epaphe or contact which transmigrated souls to contrary pasions through
application of musical intonation.
Pythagoric discipline tested the
novice.
Divinity prepares the soul of the novice which must be ready to
receive.
Echemuthein is technical term for whether a novice could
reserve and preserve what they had heard and learned.
Modesty required
they should listen rather than speak.
Five years of silent listening for
probationers won the right to be taught the esoteric doctrine which pulled back
the veil to reveal Pythagoras fully.
Immoderate desire or passion,
contentiousness and ambition, inclination to friendship or discord, is by no
means superficial.
Approved novices of worthy manners with the ability
to follow what was said rapidly with perspicuity were admitted to discipleship
which endeavored to elevate them to an accurate scientific knowledgable
understanding of reality.
They took solitary morning walks to places to
temples or groves.
They thought it inadvisable to converse with any one
until they had gained inner serenity, focusing their reasoning powers.
They considered it turbulent to mingle in a crowd as soon as they rose
from bed, and why Pythagoreans always elected the most sacred spots to
walk.
After their morning walk they associated with each other in
temples.
After the walk they patronized the bath and afterward gathered
in a common dining room with no more than ten at the table.
Then were
performed libations and sacrifices, with fumigations and incense.
Then
followed supper, which closed before the setting of the sun.
They ate
herbs, raw and boiled, maize, wine, and every food eaten with
bread.
Supper was followed by libations, succeeded by readings with the
youngest reading what the eldest advised.
When they were about to
depart, the cupbearer poured out a libation for them, after which the eldest
would announce precepts, like the following: a mild and fruitful plant should
not be injured, nor should any harmless animal.
It is further enjoined
we should speak piously, forming suitable conceptions of divine, tutelary and
heroic beings, and similarly, of parents and benefactors. Pythagoras
considered the separation of parents from their children to be the greatest
evil.
Parents should deliberatly attempt to win the love of their
children by showing genuine affection to their offspring.
There can
be no science of non-existent things.
Celebrate the deities in hymns to
the gods.
Six is a sacred number; you have to figure out why for
yourself.
Appear in public clean wearing clean white cotton
linen.
On festal day hair shall not be trimmed nor nails
pared.
It is much more holy to be injured by a man than to kill a
man.
Everything
occurs through divine providence.
Libations should be made thrice as
Apollo delivered oracles from a tripod.
Do not sacrifce animals as the
gods prefer millet, cakes and honeycombs.
Birth not in
a Temple as this is not the
place to bind the soul to the body.
Temples should be entered from the
right hand and exited from the left, as the right is oddly divine while the
left is evenly the symbol of dissolution.
Pythagoras was known for the
miracles he performed: infallible prediction of earthquakes, rapid expulsion of
pestilence, instantaneous cessation of hail, tranquilization of rivers or seas
so followers might pass safely.
The Pythagorian goal is to become aware
of the transcendent harmony in the natural order.
331 Alexander
III of Macedonia conquers Egypt.
Oracle of Siwa Oasis in
the Libyan desert pronounces him
Son of Aten.
304 Ptolemy I Soter assigns the
Alexandrian Hebrews two of five districts of the city to enable them to keep
their laws pure of cult influences.
The
Alexandrian Hebrews - the
Pharisees - enjoy political independence.
Hebrew
mystics synthesize Hebrew and
Hellenistic mythology in Alexandria.
Two Hebrew sections of Alexandria
developed radically different mythology.
The two schools of thought
synthesized different cultural myths.
Hasmoeneon Dynasty Sadducees
adopt cosmopolitan Hellenistic worldviews.
The Pharisee (Pharaoh Seed) cling to
pre-Maccabean Hebrew values.
The meaning of the term 'Gnosis'
has evolved over time.
Gnosis is
simply knowing reality for what
reality truly is.
All Gnostic Mystery traditions have
common metaphysical themes.
That which stands in common among the Gnostic Mystery traditions:
Gnosis is the Way to the
Redemption of the
Eternal Soul.
A Gnostic has observed aspects of
reality that others have not bothered to.
A Gnostic has peeled away enough
hyperreal cultural overlays to see.
The single most important
element of Gnostic Mystery philosophy is not to accept anything as real except that of which there
is absolute certainty.
In
contrast agnostics cling to preconceived notions and subscribe to fanciful
ideologies whuch are used as filters through which reality is
distorted.

The
Essenes, a Hebrew gnostic mystery cult, collects the
Dead Sea Scrolls while
inhabiting the settlement
at Qumran and recording local
events
After the
Hebrews were dislocated to Babylon,
the notion of a Savior
arose.
This foreshadowed
the rise,
the fall and
the rebirth of the
Zaddikim.
Zaddikim myth states all
intellectual advances
came from the Hebrews
through the Babylonian Talmud
sharing the knowledge of Moshe
Rabbenu.
Alexanderian
mythweavers synthesized the religious/mythological history of
Egypt,
Ugarit and
Babylon as
Akhenaten did earlier in
Eygpt, Hamurabbi had
done recently in the Levant and Constantine did later in
Rome.
In combining Gnostic Mysteries with Hebrew allegory by using
narrative style of Herodotus the Alexandrian Hebrews may not have recognized
the depth of the ponerological elements introduced into
Hebrew tradition.
"Christian Gnosticism is simply
a secondary version of the older Gnosticism which
attached itself to the emergent
Christian sect and appropriated for itself the
image of Jesus Christ." -
Birger Pearson Philo of
Alexandria, known as "the Pythagorean," described the
Essenes and the
Therapeutae as two branches of
a single school of mystery
philosophy.
The Hebrew historian,
Josephus, suggests the
Essenes were
Pythagoreans.
Honoring Moshe Rabbenu they also followed the Pagan
philosopher, Pythagoras whose disciples set up Serapheum throughout the
World.
Philo used the allegory
of Stoic philosophy and Hebrew exegesis in an attempt
to fuse and harmonize Greek
philosophy with Hebrew philosophy.
"Having
mentioned the Essenes, selected for
their admiration and adoption of a practical course of life, I will now
proceed, in the regular order of my subject, to speak of those who have
embraced the speculative life.
I will say what appears to me to be
desirable and not draw any fictitious statements from my own head for the sake
of improving appearances.
The
greatest simplicity is found in adhering strictly to the truth
itself.
I know well even the most eloquent men are careless in
speaking.
Nevertheless we must make the endeavour and labor to attain
to this virtue.
The greatness of this
virtue in men is silenced by those who think it correct to
suppress anything creditable
outside customarily spoken tradition." -
Philo of Alexandria,
On the Contemplative Life of Supplicants
Philo came from a family with
social connections to the priesthood in Judah, the Hasmonean,
Herodian and the
Julio-Claudian
dynasties.
115 AD The
Hebrew community of
Alexandria is "extinguished" by Trajan's
army during a revolt.

Within a fanatic sect
a ponerological school of thought
began to form.
The Zaddikim synthesized
Hebrew tradition with
Hellenism and
Gnostic Mystery mythology to
produce a distinctive variation on
ancient thought forms using
a ponerolgical
approach with the intent of
enslaving humanity.
Those familiar with ponerology recognize the
work of social
engineers.
Elements present in Alexanderian Hebrew "historical
scripture" included:
- ponerological aspects of
Hellenized state religion of the
Egyptians;
- emotion inspiring psychological
tactics of the Gnostic Mystery
traditions;
- a
psychopathic manner of rewriting history after the model of
Herodotus.
Saul of Tarsus overlays
the Gnostic Mystery of Christ
with the Sadducee thought system and
the result comes to be known as Pauline
Christianity.
Saul of
Tarsus chose a recently executed Tannaim,
Defiant Jesus.
The
Hellenized Hebrew
Saul of Tarsus synthesizes:
the
works of Plato
(Timaeus);
the Hebrew
scriptures of the Pharisees;
the Tzaddik myths of Sadducees of
the Hasmonian dynasty;
wide spread mystery schools myth of a
Dying and Resurrecting
Chrestus.

284
AD Emperor Diocletian
declares himself Jupiter
Optimus Maximus Soter, the Father of Rome.
This is the first State
religion of Imperial Rome.
312
Flavius Valerius
Aurelius Constantinus Augustus wins the decisive battle and declares
himself a follower of Christian Mystery of
Christ.
This morphs into the
Jesus narratives under
Roman Emperor
Constantine.
313 Freedom of Religion
rescripting Edict issued.
325 Hosius of Córdoba for a
Synod to take place in Nicaea.
Hosius of Córdoba, also known
as Osius or Ossius, is a prominent advocate for
Homoousion (Gnostic) Christianity in the
Arian controversy.
Two opposing theological factions
wrestle for
control from before the
Council of
Nicaea in 325 until after
Council
of Constantinople in 381.
The most important of these controversies
concerned the substantial relationship between
God the Father and
God as the
Son.

"Three hundred years after
Jesus' crucifixion, there was
a major theological
fight that lasted for fifty plus years over whether Jesus was God.
The chief combatants were
Arius, a priest at the
Church of Baucalis in Alexandria, Egypt and
Athanasius, Bishop of
Alexandria.
Other players in this theological drama include
Constantine, the first Christian emperor of the Roman Empire, plus numerous
bishops including Hosius of Cordova, Eusebius of Caesarea and
Eusebius of
Nicomedia.
At this point in church history, all the bishops were
considered equal, but Athanasius was called "Papa" or
Pope in other words, he
was THE most influential bishop, especially among the other eastern bishops." -
Ed Taylor
Hosius of
Cordova guided the content of public utterances.
Hosius was chosen
to investigate the charges
against Arius.
Arius questioned the sermon in which Alexander said that
"the Son is equal with the Father, and of the same substance with God who begat
him."
Arius accused Alexander of Sabellianism, a heresy asserting that
God and Jesus were aspects of the same
undivided reality.
The merging of Father and Son implies the Son is
not really human.
Alexander and his chief
deacon assistant, Athanasius, argued that Christ was
not of a like substance to God, but the
same substance.
The Arians position
was if Jesus is God, how can he be
virtuous if he did not have the
power to choose
between good and
evil?
The Good News of the Gospels, according to Arius, is that
all of us are potentially God's sons and
daughters.
364 to 375
Gnostic Christian Emperor Valentinian the
Great rules from Milan.
395 Roman citizens are
being forcefully shown it is
necessary to pretend to
believe whatever
Roman Catholic Emperor Theodosius I declares true.
Imperial Roman Catholic
intolerance of other belief
systems is crucial to its own success and necessary in the eyes of Pope
Damasus I. |

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.
