concept of original sin

When the mind is disturbed, the multiplicity of things is produced, but when the mind is quieted, the multiplicity of things disappears.

"Pain is part of being alive.

You must say, 'I will participate in life.

It is a wonderful, wonderful opera - except that it hurts.'

Affirmation is difficult. We always affirm conditionally.

"I affirm reality as long as it is the way I want it to be."

Affirming it the way it is that is what rituals are about.

Ritual involves group participation in a heinous original act, the act of life - killing and eating another living thing.

We do it together everyday when we sit down to dine.

This is the way life is." - Joseph Campbell

Primordial original sin is the sin that man bears for killing living things and eating them.

As humans are empathetic they can relate to the life that exists in an animal that lives, breathes and bleeds.

When a man takes the life of an animal he takes something that can not belong to him as the life of an animal belongs to that animal.

Using his empathetic nature man finds the life force that resides within him also resides within the animal he has slain.

He notes that the life force of the animal has been taken by him through his desire or will.

This places an empathetic human in an awkward position.

An empathetic human feels emotional pain at the loss of the life force of the animal.

Unfortunately it is necessary for him to kill the animal because his family is hungry and needs the food to survive the coming winter.

Emotionally there are only two ways to go:

I realize I have taken a precious thing that did not belong to me, that which animated the animal, life.

I think of the animal as just meat on the hoof and I never give the light I watch dying in the animals eyes a second thought.

The first emotional response will elicit regret and gratitude - regret that I had to kill the animal to assure the survival of my family and gratitude to the spirit of the animal, that which animated it and gave it life.

The second emotional response is experienced by those that believe themselves to be entitled to the fruits of the Earth unconditionally.

The first emotional response relieves the bearer of regret through the vehicle of gratitude.

The sin of killing the animal is redeemed because of a proper respect for the life force of the animal.

Restitution is made to the spirit animating the animal by giving that animating spirit the proper respect it so richly deserves for the sustenance it provides.

The second emotional response is the same response that is experienced by psychopaths, apathy, and it is this response that bestows upon the bearer "original sin."

By not recognizing the gift given, the bearer then begins carrying the spiritual burden of "original sin."

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 Life - a rational 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 Life 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 cooperation. Cooperation 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 mass 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.
