"Prudent minds use
a natural gift
a
common possession of
everyone.
What is this safeguard?
Skepticism.
This you must
preserve.
This
you must retain.
Hold it and you need fear
no harm."
Demosthenes
One day a man came to the great teacher Bahaudin.
He asked for guidance on the path of
the Way.
Bahaudin told him, 'Abandon spiritual studies, and leave
at once.'
A kind-hearted visitor
began to remonstrate with Bahaudin.
'You shall have a demonstration,'
said the sage.
At that moment a bird few into the room, darting hither
and thither, not knowing where to go in order to escape.
The Sufi
waited until the bird settled near the only open window of the chamber; and
then suddenly clapped his hands.
Alarmed, the bird flew straight
through the open window to freedom.
'To him that
sound must have been something of a
shock, even an affront, do you not agree!' said
Bahaudin.
Conventional wisdom is the
social cultural
imprint
Conventional wisdom is
manufactured
consent.
Consent is
manufactured by corporate
news media, public
schools, the medical
establishment,
churches,
corporations and
the government.
Conventional wisdom is the
result of the need for conformity.
The system that programs the public
consciousness by manufacturing consent
can predict and measure
responses with probes.
Programmed and
conditioned rational
response to stimulus is
predictable.
Conditioning process'
hide intuitive shaping choices
at the crossroads.
Perception of
reality will always be contained within
parameters of
thought.
Obsession with avoiding
critical thinking allowed
blind acceptance of
conventional wisdom for over a century, its time for
redemption.
"New beliefs seldom win acceptance unless they
are nearer
to the truth than what they replace." -
Bertrand Russell
"The human understanding resembles not a dry light,
but resembles a tincture of the will and passions, which generate their own
system accordingly: for man always
believes more readily that which he prefers.
In short, his feelings
imbue and corrupt his understanding in innumerable and sometimes imperceptible
ways." - Francis Bacon

objectivism
"Although McDonaldization offers powerful
advantages, it has a downside.
Efficiency, predictability,
calculability, and control through nonhuman tech-nology can be thought of as
the basic components of a rational system.
However,
rational systems inevitably
spawn irrationalities.
The downside of McDonaldization will be
dealt with systematically under the heading of the irrationality of
rationality; paradoxically, the irrationality of rationality can be thought of
as the fifth dimension
of McDonaldization.
Rational systems inevitably spawn
irrational consequences.
Rational systems serve to deny human
reason; rational systems are
often unreasonable." - George Ritzer, The McDonaldization of
Society
Objectivism holds:
reality exists
independent of
consciousness;
individuals are in contact with
reality through sensory
perception;
human beings can
gain objective knowledge from
perception through the process of concept formation
and inductive and
deductive logic;
the only social system consistent with this
morality is full respect for
individual rights, embodied in pure
laissez-faire capitalism;
the role of art in human
life is to transform metaphysical ideas;
the
proper moral purpose of one's
life is the pursuit of one's own
happiness through rational
self-interest.
Mostly overlooked in the definition of objectivism is
the implied reality that if you
coöperate with your neighbor your neighbor will coöperate with
you, also known as the exercise of the
"Golden Rule."
If you
treat others fairly with respect they are inclined to treat you fairly with
respect - ie. in accord with their own
rational
self-interest.
If they do not you will quit
doing business with them - unless they hold a
monopoly on
scarce resources or
power.
Note:
Laissez-faire
capitalism = Anarchy

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 Яeality 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. Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
re☦igion based on reaso🐍 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 and
Sustainer 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 coercion 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.
