"In a world where fantasy is more real than
reality we risk being the first people in history to have been able to make our
illusions so vivid, so persuasive, so 'realistic' that we can live in them." -

"The reality of the present
circumstances, we do not find them satisfactory.
Images of future situations appear more
fulfilling than the present.
It seems that,
until we reach these imagined
goals, life will be only
preparation for a better future, not yet "the real thing."
A life
pattern of a "treadmill" type of existence (illustrated by the image of a
hamster running in a rotating wheel) or
a "rat-race" life is the result.
The existentialists talk about
"auto-projecting" into the future -
imagining oneself in a more satisfying
situation and attempting to create it.
Faulty foundational
assumptions do not
deliver the expected satisfaction.
It is irrelevant whether or not
they bring fruit into the material world.
In
Joseph Campbell's words:
"We get to the top of the ladder and
find out it stands against the wrong wall." |

This fallacious pattern
applied on a large scale is responsible for reckless irrational pursuits of
various grandiose goals that result in much suffering.
Universal
human fallacies never brings true satisfaction." -
Stanislav Grof
"The cultural belief that
we can make things happen by
thinking, by
visualizing, by wanting them, by
tapping into our inner
strength or by understanding that we are
truly exceptional is
magical
thinking.
We can always make more money,
meet new quotas,
consume more products and advance
our career if we have enough faith.
This
magical thinking, preached
across the political spectrum by Oprah,
sports celebrities,
Talmudwood,
self-help billionaire saviors and
Christian Zionists, is
largely responsible for our economic and
environmental collapse, since every
Cassandra who saw it coming was dismissed as "negative."
This belief,
which allows men and women to
behave and act like little children, discredits
legitimate concerns and
anxieties.
It exacerbates despair and
indifference. It
fosters a state of self-delusion.
The purpose, structure and goals of the corporate state are never
questioned.
To question, to engage in criticism of the corporate
collective, is obstructive.
It has perverted
the way we view ourselves, our nation and
natural world.
The new paradigm of power, coupled with bizarre ideology
of limitless progress and impossible happiness,
has turned whole nations, including the US, into monsters." - Christopher Lynn
Hedges
Fantasy is defined as:
an
illusion
a hallucination
fantastic designs
imagination unrestricted by
reality
an
unrealistic or improbable supposition
the ability to
deal aesthetically with unusual
problems
governed by
arbitrary or capricious
laws of association
 
Scaffolding
Seamus Heaney
Masons, when they start
upon a building,
Are careful to test out the scaffolding;
Make
sure that planks won’t slip at busy points,
Secure all ladders,
tighten bolted
joints.
And yet all this comes down when the job’s done
Showing off walls of sure and solid stone.
So if, my dear,
there sometimes seem to be
Old bridges breaking between you and me
Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident that
we have built our
wall.
The truth is life, on the face of it, is
chaos.
Terrifying to encounter reality is frightening face to
face.
Attempts to
conceal fantasy by drawing a curtain of over it fail.
Fantasy comes
in many forms but the most widespread is
simply nonsense.
Politician spellbinders
reality, metaphorical allegory,
bewitches,
hypnotizes,
mesmerizes and
enchants with phantasmes to
delude and
decieve.
(Phantasmes in
Chaldean numerology = 3; Pythagorean numerology = 8)
To free oneself from the delusion of
māyā one must think outside the confines of the social structure
the central bankers conjured.
To do this one must relearn play to
set the prisoner
free.
Play allows an
individual the freedom to explore thought structures.
Play
critically confronts thought structures with
absolute claims.
True liberation comes from
freedom from delusional
thought
structures.

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.
All
views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and opinions of
