"This new world was a vicious, sleek world made
of street lights and tight jeans, sharp smiles and
fast cars. This was a city,
edited. A city, pared down to its bare minimums, beautiful and abusive." -
Maggie Stiefvater
"Civilization is a limitless multiplication of
unnecessary necessities.
Civilization largely consists in hiding
human nature.
When
the barbarian learns to hide it we account him enlightened."
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
"Western civilization arose hampered by
a serious deficiency
in an area which both can and does play a creative role, and which is supposed
to protect societies from various kinds of evil.
Civilization was
insufficiently resistant to evil, which originates beyond the easily accessible
areas of human consciousness and takes advantage of the enormous gap between
formal thought and psychological reality." -
Andrew M.
Lobaczewski A civilization is defined as a social
culture in an advanced state of material development marked by
arts and
sciences,
extensive record-keeping,
including writing, and
complex political and social
institutions.
For a civilization to
function and remain viable the citizens must continually agree that the laws
are just.
Citizens of any and all forms of goverment must have the
ability to solicit for modification of laws so the law continues to remain just
under changing circumstances.
A failure on the part of any faction of
citizens to respect law, especially leaders, undermines the very foundations
upon which the civilization has been built and results in a collapse of the
civilization.
The best preserved ancient written code of law was carved
in basalt around 1760 BC in Babylon.
The
Code of Hammurabi
consisted of 282 laws in total.
The purpose of the Code of Hammurabi
was to allow justice to prevail in the land,
to prevent the strong from
oppressing the weak and to further the welfare of the people.
The
earlier Code of Ur-Nammu (21st century BC), the Hittite laws (ca. 1300 BC), and
Mosaic Law (ca. ~ 1300 BC under
Moshe Rabbenu), all
contain statutes that bear a remakable resemblance to the Code of Hammurabi and
other law codices from the same geographic area in the
Levant.

John Locke
The collapse of any civilization is directly
related to multiple
factors but the overriding factor is the inability to
adjust to change.

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
