value is defined as:
principles
to hold dear
an accepted
ideal
worth in usefulness or importance to the possessor
a
numerical quantity measured, assigned or computed
a principle, standard,
or quality considered worthwhile or desirable
"A true revolution of values will
soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and
present policies.
We are called to play
the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act.
One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be
transformed so
that men and women will not be constantly
beaten and robbed as they make their
journey on life's
highway.
True
compassion is more
than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and
superficial.
It
comes to see that an edifice which
produces beggars needs restructuring.
A true revolution of values
will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of
poverty and wealth.
With
righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual
capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South
America, only to take the profits
out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say:
"This is not just."
It will look at
our alliance with the landed gentry of
Latin America and say: "This is not just."
The Western arrogance of feeling that it
has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.
A true revolution of values
will lay hands on the world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not
just."
This business of burning human
beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows,
of injecting poisonous drugs of hate
into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody
battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be
reconciled without wisdom, justice and
compassion.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money
on military endeavors than
on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.
America, the richest and
most powerful nation on Earth, can well lead the
way in this revolution of values.
Only a tragic death wish prevents
America from reordering priorities, so that the pursuit of peace will take precedence
over the pursuit of war.
There is nothing to keep us from molding
a recalcitrant status quo with bruised hands until we have fashioned it into a
brotherhood.
A
genuine revolution of values means in the final analysis that our loyalties
must become ecumenical rather than sectional.
Every nation must now
develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as
a whole in order to preserve the best in individual societies. " -
Martin Luther King |

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 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.
