"There are four Elements, and original grounds of all
corporeal things - Fire,
Earth,
Water,
Air -
which all elemented inferior bodies are compounded; not by way of heaping them
up together; but by transmutation and union; and when they are destroyed they
are resolved into Elements. For there is none of the sensible Elements that is
pure, but they are more or less mixed, and apt
to be changed one into the other: Even as Earth becoming dirty, and being dissolved,
becomes Water, and the same being made thick and hard,
becometh Earth again; but being evaporated through heat,
passeth into Air, and that being kindled, passeth into
Fire; and this being
extinguished, returns back again into Air; but being cooled again after its
burning, becomes Earth, or Stone, or
Sulphur, and this is manifested
by Lightning."
- The Philosophy of
Natural Magic, Henry Cornelius Agrippa |

"In ancient times Astrology was regarded as one
of the most sacred of the sciences and was taught only to those Initiates
admitted to the Greater Mysteries, for it was considered
essential that the astrologer should have such
spiritual discernment as would enable him to check any astrological
calculations by visualizing the effect of the planetary influences playing at
any moment upon the native or person for whom the horoscope was cast. As the
ebb and flow of the tides are due to the influence of the moon, so the currents
in man's superphysical bodies are subject to planetary influence and their
fluctuations are visible to the seer."
- The Comte De Gabalis,
Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars

"Be praised, my
God, through all your creatures, especially through
my lord Brother
Sun, who brings the
day; and you give light through him. And he is
beautiful and radiant in all his splendor! Of
you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
Be praised, my
God, through Sister Moon and the
stars; in the heavens you have made them, precious and
beautiful.
Be praised, my
God, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms,
and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance.
Be praised, My
God, through Sister Water; she is very useful, and
humble, and precious, and pure.
Be praised, my God, through Brother
Fire, through whom you brighten the night.
He is beautiful and cheerful, and
powerful and strong.
Be praised, my
God, through our sister Mother Earth,
who feeds us and rules us, and produces
various fruits with colored flowers
and herbs.
Be praised, my God, through those
who forgive for love of you; through those who
endure sickness and trial.
Happy be those who endure in peace, for
by you, Most High, they will be crowned." - Francis of Assisi |
"We all have a mental image of Francis of Assisi in
a brown robe whose shoulders and arms are covered with birds. Francis of
Assisi's pastoral vision is not entirely unprecedented: for at least the first
five centuries of the Church, the dominant Christian symbol was Christ the Good
Shepard instead of Christ on the Cross." -
Bill McKibben
"Saint Francis
of Assisi, a radical advocate of renewal,
had no intention of being
original, but merely tried to return
to "following the doctrine" and the
footsteps of Jesus."

Paracelcus viewed the universe as
one coherent organism pervaded by a uniting lifegiving spirit.
"All
things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits
something not to be poisonous." - Paracelsus
"At least 72,000 years ago and perhaps much earlier,
modern humans had an understanding of how fire and heat could transform the
materials around them to suit their needs." - Kyle Brown
"Modern society is based primarily on the technologies of fire.
It is fire that powers our automobiles and
airplanes at supra-biological speeds; it is fire that enables us to smelt metal
and etch silicon; it is fire that powers our
electrical grid and communications system; it is fire that allows us to distill
or synthesize chemicals that do not exist in pure form in
nature; it is fire that
powers the quarrying of limestone and the
crushing of rock to build roads and skyscrapers.
The wholesale
disruption of nature and reengineering of the
physical landscape would be impossible without fire-based technology. From the
building of superhighways and dams to the clearcutting of forests, nearly all
large-scale domination of
nature depends on fire technologies such as the
internal combustion engine and the coal - or oil - fired turbine. As soon as
fire-based technology gains ascendency, such projects as clearcutting become
not just technologically feasible but morally conceivable, as the Epic of
Gilgamesh testifies to as far back as the time of ancient Sumer.
Water
is the nemesis of control. Seeking out the
tiniest crack, nothing can hold it in. As waves in the ocean, it destroys any
bulwark. Whereas fire burns clean and purifies what it touches, water makes a
mess. Hence the key to preserving anything - houses, books, food, clothes,
metal - is to keep it dry.
Water, with its cycles and flows, its
unruliness and its ubiquity on earth, could be
called the essence of
nature. To keep everything dry, and therefore
outside the cycle of decay, transformation, and renewal, is a concrete
expression of our separation from
nature.
Our dependence on water - the fact that we are made mostly
of water - denies the primary conceit of civilization, that we are
separation from nature or even nature's master.
No more nature's master are we, than we are the master of water!" - Charles
Eisenstein

"Any structure
that we see in the universe results from a
balance between opposing
forces of Nature. Since four
forces exist in Nature
with distinct strengths and ranges, there is scope for a variety of quite
different equilibria to
exist in which matter is held in the grip of
two opposing
forces. We are fortunate that the
number of natural
forces is so small: as a result,
Nature is reasonably intelligible to us. If
there were thousands of basic forces
of Nature, rather than just four, then the
number of different structures
that could result from any two of them coming into
balance would be enormously increased,
and the search for simple patterns would be far
more difficult - perhaps beyond our ability to deal with." - John D.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new religious
ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification
of reality outside personal experience has created 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 the religion
aptly 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 God 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 central banking
system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military entertainment complex of
America 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 mass 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.
All views and opinions presented on this web
site are the views and opinions of individual human men and women that,
through their writings, showed the capacity for intelligent, reasonable,
