| "The symbol
manipulators and their research advisers have
developed their depth views of
us by sitting at the feet of psychiatrists and
social scientists
(particularly psychologists and sociologists) who have been hiring themselves
out as "practical" consultants or setting up their own research firms." - Vance

"With the artistic symbol we sense deeper levels of
meaning, some of which may be translated into other discursive symbols."- Paul
Eduardo Muller-Ortega
"Effective rational
propaganda becomes possible only when there is
a clear understanding,
on the part of all
concerned, of the nature of symbols and of
their relations to the
things and events symbolized.
Irrational propaganda depends
for its effectiveness on a
general failure to understand the nature of symbols.
Dictators rely on
repetition,
suppression and
rationalization -
the repetition of catchwords
which they wish to be accepted as true,
the suppression of facts
which they wish to be ignored,
the arousal and rationalization
of passions which may be used in the interests of the
Party or the
State.
As the art and science of
manipulation come to be better understood, the
dictators of the future
will doubtless learn to combine these techniques with
the non-stop
distractions which, in the West, are now
threatening to drown in a sea
of irrelevance the rational propaganda
essential to the maintenance of individual liberty and the survival of
democratic institutions.
Stored in the minds and
bodies of countless individuals,
this potential
energy is released by, and transmitted along,
a line of symbols
carefully laid out so as to bypass rationality and
obscure the real
issue.
Sometimes the symbols take effect by being disproportionately
impressive, haunting and fascinating in their own right.
Every
commercial propagandist
beautifies billboards with
striking posters, the
advertising pages of magazines with lively drawings and photographs.
There are no
masterpieces; masterpieces
appeal to a limited audience and the commercial propagandist is out
to captivate the majority.
Art is
to be like the products
with which it has been associated and for which it symbolically stands." "
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Revisited

"Pythagoras philosophy represents a "purification," the aim of which
is the assimilation to God.
The universe is divine because of its
order (kosmos), and the harmonies and symmetries which it contains and
reflects.
These principles make
Creation divine for they are
the characteristics of
divinity, and they also innately subsist within the
Eternal Human Soul.
The Pythagoreans taught that the
Eternal Soul is in
Harmony with Creation.
To become
like God according to Pythagorean philosophy
the Eternal Soul must
become aware of its harmonic origin,
structure and content.
Since the source of all harmony and order is
the divine principle of Number, we can perhaps come to understand the initially
enigmatic statement of Heracleides that, according to Pythagoras, true
"happiness consists in knowledge of the perfection of the numbers of the soul."
In the realm of epistemology the presence of Number is most evident:
progress in rational thought depends on
a fundamentally
dyadic relationship between knower and known, subject and object.
Moreover, as certainly as the principle of polarity underlies the world
of phenomenal manifestation, so too does
the bicameral mind"-
David Fideler
"Do not forget that the original meaning of all
letters and
numbers was a magical one! Hence the perils of the
soul."
Carl Jung, Letters Vol. 1, Pages
528-529
"Large-scale efforts are being
made, often with impressive
success, to channel
unthinking habits, purchasing decisions, and
thought processes
through the use of insights gleaned
from psychiatry and
the social sciences.
Typically these
efforts take place beneath our level of awareness.
The result is
that many of us are being influenced and manipulated,
far more than we realize, in
the patterns of our everyday
lives.
In the imagery of
print,
film, and
airwave
the typical American citizen is commonly
depicted as an uncommonly
shrewd and intelligent person.
Dramatized as
a thoughtful voter,
rugged individualist, and, above all,
as a careful, hardheaded consumer of the
products of American enterprise.
The professional persuaders
want us to fit ourselves
into this image.
The sales force holding up these
glowing images
does it tongue in cheek.
The professional
persuaders see us as bundles of
daydreams, misty hidden yearnings,
guilt complexes,
irrational emotional
blockages.
We are image lovers given to
impulsive, compulsive acts." -
Vance Packard
Thought is the manipulation of
symbols according to a set of rules.
Primitive material
symbols are mental representations not present in the conscious
bicameral mind as
readily recognizable conceptual
images.
They exist on a
cognitive level outside of material representation on
a low level of
consciousness in the
realm of foundational conceptual constructs.
Primitive material
symbols are engaged by the bicameral mind and
fit together like pieces in
a jigsaw puzzle in low
level neurocomputational states to create elaborate higher level
neurocomputational states through a series of logical {if, then} and {true,
false} operations.
The
highest level of neurocomputational states is
impossible to achieve if
foundational assumptions are inaccurate.
Jesus said: "Everyone who comes to Me and hears My
words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man
building a house, who dug deep and
laid a foundation on the
rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and
could not shake it, because it had been well built." Luke 6:46-48
"Regarding language as an apparatus of symbols for the conveyance of
thought, we may say that, as in
a mechanical
apparatus, the more simple and the better arranged its parts, the greater
will be the effect produced.
A reader or
listener has at each
moment but a limited amount of mental power
available.
To
recognize and
interpret symbols presented, requires part of this power; to arrange and
combine the images suggested requires a further part; and only that part which
remains can be used for realizing the thought conveyed.
Hence,
the more time and attention it takes to
receive and understand each sentence, the less time and attention can be
given to the contained idea; and
the less vividly will that idea be conceived." - Herbert
Spencer
"People regard the dictionary as this sacred book
in which they have 100% faith.
They don't even think of a human agency
behind it."

Word is defined as:news;
rumors
order; command;
direction
verbal signal; password or watchword
assurance or
promise; sworn
intention
a symbolic
expression of an concept or object
verbal unit of a language a
native speakers can identify
representation in writing of a sound or a
combination of sounds
A
fundamental unit of storage in a computer.
The size of a word in
computer architecture is one of its chief characteristics.
The size of a
word is usually the same as the width of the computer data bus so it is
possible to read or write a word in a single operation.
An instruction
is usually one or more words long and a word can be used to hold a whole number
of characters.
These days, this nearly always means a whole number of
bytes (eight bits), most often 32 or 64 bits.
In the past when six bit
character sets were used, a word might be a multiple of six bits, e.g. 24 bits
(four characters) in the ICL 1900 series.
"Words realize nothing, verify nothing to you,
unless you have suffered in your own person the thing which the words try to
describe.
A powerful agent is the right word.
It
lights the reader's
way and makes it plain.
A close approximation to it will
answer.
Much traveling is done in a well-enough fashion by its
help.
We welcome, applaud
and rejoice when the right one blazes out on us.
Whenever we come
upon one of those intensely right words in a
book the resulting
electrically prompt is spiritual.
It tingles exquisitely through the
walls of the mouth and tastes as tart and
crisp as autumn-butter that creams the sumac-berry." - Mark Twain
translation

transformation

"Words by nature of their
abstraction are inexact, a degree removed from the particular objects,
processes, and feelings to which they refer, leaving us therefore to infer what
the other person really meant, and opening the way for misunderstanding. " -
Charles
Eisenstein
Translation requires
interpretation of the meaning of
text, and subsequent production of equivalent text that communicates the
same message as the original language.
Translation must
take into account constraints that include
context, the rules of grammar,
writing conventions, idioms and
slang.
Many times idioms and slang, especially that used by
social subcultures such as
hippies, goths, punks, preppies, hoods and gang-bangers will be misinterpreted
by taking metaphor in a literal
context.
Technical terms may be misinterpreted as well if the
translator is not versed in the technical jargon of the profession.
A common misconception is that
there exists a simple
word-for-word correspondence between any two languages, and that
translation is a straightforward mechanical process.
A word-for-word
translation does not
take into account context, grammar, conventions, idioms and slang therefore
translators, in the course of their work, have shaped the very languages into
which they have been translated.
Translators, acting as bridges for
conveying knowledge
and ideas between
cultures and
civilizations, have not always
accurately interpreted the text.
Fidelity pertains to the extent to
which a translation accurately renders the
meaning of the source text, without
adding to or subtracting from it, without intensifying or weakening any part of
the meaning, and
otherwise without distorting it.
Transparency pertains to the extent to
which a translation appears to a native speaker of the target language to have
originally been written in that language, and conforms to the language's
grammatical, syntactic and idiomatic conventions.
Current Western
academic translation practices claim to incorporate the concepts of "fidelity"
and "transparency" foremost but translators do step beyond the bounds of
translation proper into the realm of adaptation, with or without conscious
effort.
"Words, particularly
nouns, force an infinity of
unique objects and processes into a
finite number of categories.
Words deny
the uniqueness of each
moment and each experience, reducing
it to a "this" or a "that".
Words grant us the
power to manipulate and
control (with
logic) the things they refer
to, but at the price of immediacy.
Something is lost, the essence of a
thing.
By generalizing
particulars into categories, words render
invisible the
differences among them.
By labeling both A and B a tree, and
conditioning ourselves to that label,
we become blind to the differences between A
and B.
The label affects
our perception of
reality and the way we
interact with it." - Charles Eisenstein
The act of labeling is an act of
containment.
We
label everything for identification of characteristics.
The
referent, or "real
object," being represented by a linguistic symbol
concept held in the mind
of the individual envisioning the referent.
Referents that have
physical mirrors in reality are different animals than abstract referents
which have often been
taken to be meaningless.
What if
parallel imaginative conceptual structures also exist in other minds?
In truth these
referents exist in every mind.
Look closely and the parallels become
apparent as they are a reflection of the exterior world seen through
the lens of uniquely disparate
eyes.
Complex
codes of internally replayed behavior are acted out in a manner similar to
that in which scripts are
run in a browser window.
Parallel imaginative conceptual
structures are identified by Carl Jung as ground ideas or
archetypical concepts shared
universally by humans.
As people
move through the stages of life common conceptual
structures surface with regularity.
Common conceptual structures
include epiphanies brought
forth through living experiences that propagate
altered states of
consciousness uniquely distinct and
divergent from all previous states encountered.
The earliest
consistent use of swastika motifs in the archaeological record dates to the
Neolithic.
The swastika is a repeating design, formed by the edges of
the reeds in a square basket-weave.
The swastika symbol was found on a
number of shards in the Khuzestan province of
Iran and as part of the
"Vinca script" of Neolithic Europe of the 5th millennium BC.
In the
early Bronze Age the
swastika appears on pottery:
found in
Sintashta, Russia;
at Lothal and Harappa, on Indus Valley seals;
on pottery in archaeological digs in the area of ancient Kush;
at the Gebel Barkal temples as well as in digs corresponding to the
later Ballana culture.
Swastika appears in Bronze and, later,
Iron Age designs of the
northern Caucasus (Kuban culture), and
Azerbaijan, as well as of
Scythians (Askuzai)
and Sarmatians.
Swastika shapes
have been found on numerous artifacts from
Iron Age Europe
(Greco-Roman, Illyrian, Etruscan, Baltic, Celtic, Germanic, Georgian Bordjgali
and Slavic).
This prehistoric use seems to be reflected in the
appearance of the symbol in various folk cultures of Europe and were used at
times to symbolize the Sun.
Historically, the swastika became a sacred
symbol in Hinduism,
Buddhism,
Jainism and
Mithraism.
Ancient
Greek architecture, clothing and coin designs are replete with single or
interlinking swastika motifs.
In Greco-Roman art and architecture; in
Romanesque; and in Gothic art the swastika is more commonly found as a repeated
element in a tessellation.
The swastika was used by some Native
Americans:
in excavations of Mississippian-era sites in the Ohio
valley;
widely used by many southwestern tribes, most notably the
Navajo;
ornamental element in Mongolian culture, meaning good
luck.
Joseph
Rudyard Kipling chose as his personal rune the swastika - the ancient sign of
the sun, of health and of good fortune.
Most editions of Joseph Rudyard
Kipling works published in the first decades of the 20th century are adorned
with the swastika.
Beginning in
1933, however, Jewish
pressure was brought to bear against the publishers, and the swastikas were
dropped from subsequent printings.
Rainbow Spiral Dynamics©
"We have the opportunity to build
a Rainbow Bridge into a Golden
Age.
We must do it together with all colors of the Rainbow, with
all the peoples.
We who are alive on Earth today are
the Rainbow Warriors who
face the challenge of building this bridge." - Brooke Medicine Eagle, Daughter
of the Rainbow, Crow and Lakota
Rainbow Spiral
Dynamics© argues that
human nature is
flexible.
Humans naturally adapt to their social environment by
constructing new, more complex, conceptual models of the world that allow
them to handle the increasing complexity of
new events and situations in the modern world.
Each new conceptual model
transcends and includes all previous models.
These conceptual models
are organized around vMemes: systems of core values embracing
a collective learned
intelligence, applicable to both
individuals, sub groups and
entire social cultures.
In Rainbow Spiral Dynamics©, the term vMeme refers to a core value
system, acting as an organizing principle, which expresses itself through memes
(self-propagating ideas,
habits, and
cultural practices).
The prepended and superscripted letter v indicates these are not
fundamental memes but value systems which include them.
Each individual/sub
clique/social culture embodies a mixture of the
value patterns, with
varying degrees of intensity in each set of values.
Rainbow Spiral
Dynamics© realizes that there are infinite stages of progress and
regression over linear
time dependent upon the life circumstances of the individual/sub
clique/social culture, which are constantly in flux.
Attaining
higher stages of
development is not synonymous with attaining a defined values system but
rather a flexible
moral values system of least harm in sync with the evolving aspects of
reality.
All stages
of intellectual development co-exist in reality, therefore
a social cultural vMeme
may, at any stage of
development, lead to undesirable outcomes
with respect to the health of the human
and social environment.
All new vMeme systems are built on adaptations
of previous levels and seek to solve problems forged by living in
those earlier ways.
First tier vMeme levels are focused on
different themes for existence, and include
all of the worldviews,
cultures, and
mental attitudes up to
today.
Rainbow Spiral Dynamics© works toward vMeme
perspective convergence which
is the vMeme term for all multidimensional perspective
aspects.
Rainbow Spiral Dynamics© explicitly defines a
category of people ascending from from all races, all walks of life, all
religious faiths, all tribal elements, all academic persuasions, all
ideological backgrounds labeled "Spiral Wizards" who have attained
equilibrium around
the "higher level" vMeme.

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 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 world central banking system,
c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial
mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ 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 of a

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
p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by
press☟ng em☠ti☠nal butt☠ns 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 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
direction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite
