The hearts of a great many have already
been exposed to inner peace, and it is
possible that humans everywhere could come
down with it in epidemic proportions. This could
pose a serious threat to what has, up
until now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict and despair on the
Earth.
A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than
from fear based on past
experiences or mass media hype.
A loss of interest in conflict and of the ability to
worry.
(This is a very serious
symptom!)
An increased tendency to let
things happen rather than to try to make
things happen
along with frequent
attacks of smiling and laughter.
| If you have any of the above symptoms, please be
advised that your condition of healing and
inner peace may be so far advanced as to
be incurable! If you are exposed to anyone
exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your
own risk! |

"I was heartened on the summit between
leaders of Islam and Buddhism. Our world situation is so divided that
we need dialogue that reminds
us that we are connected not just by
economics but
spiritually and
morally as well.
We all rely on the
Earth and each
other for our survival.
As the Dalai Lama
has said, "If you see
yourself in others, then whom can you
harm?"
I
hope political and community
leaders will join these
spiritual visionaries to
wake up the people of
Earth to the fact that what happens to anyone
of us happens to
us all. When we can see these connections and act in the interests of and
compassion for
others, the Earth will be a safer place for
us and for future generations." - Laura
Hunter
Once acquired, the
conditioned habit of worrying is hard
to stop.
We're raised to worry
and aren't considered "grown up" until we perfect the art.
Teenagers are told: "you'd better start
worrying about your future".
To the extent that worrying is
learned/conditioned behavior, it can be undone.
There are
psychological gimmicks for
undoing the worry habit.
Centuries-old cultural conditioning
has given us a nasty neurosis: the belief
that happiness must be "earned".
Laid on top of the first neurosis is the
idea that spending
money will make you
happy.
So: we never stop working,
we never stop spending money, we're
never really happy
–
ideal conditions, coincidentally, for a
certain type of slave economy.
You won't stop worrying if you
think worrying serves you.
So it's a good
idea to distinguish the fight-or-flight
response, a healthy bodily reaction to immediate
, from
worry - an
emotional problem. By making this
distinction, you're less likely to overrate the value of worrying. The fight-or-flight response is
useful on rare occasions of real . In animals, the fight-or-flight responds to "external"
stimuli; in humans it responds also to worries about
imagined
, and to socially conditioned
psychological stimuli: "what
will people think about me?", etcetera.
Worrying
is never useful.
It handicaps and diminishes us.The
more it triggers the fight-or-flight with imagined
threats,
the more it prevents
critical thinking - our
greatest survival asset.
To stop worrying simply
cultivate the habit of postponing
worrying.
Your
mind becomes (re-)conditioned to not dwell
on worries in the
present.
The trick is that
whenever you feel plagued by a worrying thought, note it down on a "worry sheet" (a piece of paper set aside
for just that purpose) – you can then forget about it,
knowing that you plan to
worry later. This deceptively simple
technique is effective because it bypasses the
psychological obstacles
mentioned above. Your mind is "fooled"
into thinking that you haven't given up
worrying.
Meanwhile, you lose
the conditioned habit of worrying in
the present moment.
You can
plan to revisit noted worries at a
time when you're worry
free.
Or you can postpone
worries indefinitely.
That
might sound bizarre, but then so is the notion that you must
experience endless unhappiness, in the
form of worrying before you're allowed
to be happy. It is more than likely that
in using this technique you will simply forget your original
worries – they will never have
bothered you. - from
Undoing the
Worrying Habit
Most of the unpleasantness in
materialistically oriented social cultures, particularly the social culture
incorrectly named Judeo-Christian to which America subscribes - truly a mix of
imperialist Christian,
Talmudist and
Zionist mindsets steeped in
competitiveness, hostility,
resentment and
anxiety – all can be traced to
unresolved guilt.
Unresolved
guilt for taking action and unresolved
guilt from failing to act.
Our social culture
conditiones us to create our own version of
Hell on Earth when unresolved
guilt surfaces.
Unresolved
guilt for taking action first occurs
in infancy when we receive the message, usually from our parents, that we are
"bad" or "not good enough." We have taken an action that has
been labeled bad. We incorrectly associate our
behavior with our self-identity.
We are conditioned to believe that we are
indeed evil, that we are
corrupt.
We are neither
evil or corrupt - our behavior is unacceptable and we
have been reprimanded to modify our behavior. But that is not how it
feels. To us, our fall
from innocence mirrors the ejection from
the Garden.
Unresolved
guilt from failing to act occurs in adolescence when we
identify evil actions but are unable to right
those evil actions through
retributive actions. We feel empathy for those who
unjustly suffer and yet we
fail to express the empathy we feel for those
experiencing
suffering by acting on those
feelings of empathy. We
become spiriually
corrupt when we bury feelings of
empathy - we force ourselves to no longer identify
others as being of the same order as us.
Unresolved
guilt from buried
empathetic feeling
creates a
stone cold heart.
The depth
of this unresolved guilt should not be
underestimated - we are conditioned to believe that we will never be "good enough" - that we are irredeemable
corrupt, that we are uncouth uncivilized
beasts rejected from the presence of God
due to our inadequacies.
Not knowing how to dispel this
gnawing sense of unresolved
guilt, of
spiritual corruption
based on our feelings of
inadequacy, we eventual enter
"normal self-centered materialistic
social culture," which functions essentially as a
guilt projection system for
recirculating undigested unresolved guilt.
We each carry an imprint
of unresolved guilt from our childhood
- we are evil; and from our adolescence - we
are helpless so any feelings of
empathy must be repressed.
Guilty for our actions and
guilty for failing to act.
We
repress this unresolved
guilt by hiding it from our
ego, denying it and projecting it onto
those who appear to belong to the competitive, threatening social
culture of which we do not quite belong.
We can never belong as we
have empathetic feelings that must be
repressed.
When projecting we think
- Orson's life
looks good from the outside.
Orson must be
guilty of a crime as he does not
appear to be struggling as we are.
We say to ourselves - I do not
deserve to be happy as I am
inadequate which leads to
self-mutilation, drug addiction, destructive behavior and suicide. The
unresolved guilt we hide in ourselves
creates an attenuated
expectancy of
punishment, making us
feel
insecure and defensive, leading to
irritability, resentment,
hatred and more unresolved
guilt.
A viscous cycle may ensue. It may become
self-replicating across the
generations.
Competitive
materialistic social culture – with
its constricting fear, pettiness and
suppressed
rage – can hurt us
emotionally only if we participate in the
repression or projection of
guilt.
Our own
repressed
guilt makes us vulnerable to the
unresolved guilt system's effects.
We've become unwitting receptacles for the rebounding projection of our own
unresolved guilt at a
social level.
What
did your first "guilty"
thought mean?
To your
ego it meant you had
failed once again. In
reality it meant nothing, except in your
agitated mind. Neither did the next
feeling of guilt, or the next. Yet by
accepting guilt as
real, you created your own personal
Hell.
"Materialistic culture" is the name we give to the
guilty Hell we share.
One of
materialistic
culture's most popular pastimes is
comparing oneself to
others in ways that make us seem good-by-comparison, an inflation of self,
of the ego -
think Maury Povich, Dr. Phil, Phil Donahue,
etcetera.
This is just a desperate, unsatisfying attempt to compensate
for our hidden feelings of "badness"/guilt.
Guilt originally developed as a child
control mechanism. Later
guilt morphed into a
"religious" social control mechanism.
Guilt is used by commercial interests
to sell product. And guilt, along with
fear, is used extensively by politicians. But we can become
guilt free.
All we have to do is realize that
we condemn ourselves, typically because we
have failed to meet our own
expectations.
If we truly hold the
concept of "no harm" foremost and work hard to put the "no harm" concept into practice then we truly are
innocent and should not allow guilt
based on trival breaches of our expectations
of perfection to ruin our lives for in
reality we are truly innocent.
You can undo the hold unresolved guilt
has on you by seeing your true innocence.
You can accept the guilt
programming in your personality if you want life long misery, but to
believe that you
– a unique being
in unique circumstances – are always guilty is insane.
In reality, anything but a
perception of your
unconditional innocence leads eventually to insanity.
(Religious rebirth/sanctification is commonly used to regain
unconditional innocence and lift the sins of the world off your shoulders -
remember Atlas.)
Unfortunately,
the socially programmed
mindless human robot rejects this
perspective as he has
been taught that to not accept the fact that he was
born into sin will
create a lack of remorse for the unresolved
guilt that he was
socially conditioned to
feel. What is truly immoral is treating
family, neighbors, fellow citizens and fellow
human beings badly, in ways that we do not wish
to be treated, and then claiming we do so from the moral high ground.
Hypocrite!
"We have lost our humanity when we allow
fear and vengeance to bring us to treat our fellow humans
without humanity." - Carl Terwilliger
In other
words, the culturally programmed
mindless human robot can not escape its
evaluation of its own guilt: it
judges rejection of
guilt as the ultimate
guilty act.
Wake up from your
culturally programmed unresolved
guilt trance and feel the serene
invulnerability of your actual true
innocence.
We all follow destructive social cultural programming to
different degrees, occasionally leading to
tragic
consequences and large-scale
suffering.
To regard
others, those
evil doers, as the
guilty parties will keep us from
getting what we want while keeping us enslaved to our own unresolved
guilt since accepting unresolved
guilt as justified reflects the
decision to accept guilt for
imperfections as an absolute reality. Better
to innocently unravel and expose the faulty social conditioning/cultural programming. So entrenched is the
unresolved guilt, that it will take
more than one moment of sanity to undo its effects.
The
guilt will return – as will the
projection of guilt. But every moment
of remembered innocence weakens the
unresolved guilt system and reduces
its insane consequences.
And
do not forget - those that are
condemned as evil doers will, unfortunately, try to live up
to the role that social culture has given them.
Our
materialistic
consumer oriented social culture
sells "emotion" like any other commodity.
Most lifestyle products are advertised to strike
emotional chords –
feelings of confidence,
control, success, etcetera are
marketed as
socially appropriate
emotions – every
social circumstance needs the "right"
emotion, just like every household task
needs the right appliance.
Having the "wrong"
emotion gets you in
social trouble.
Advertisements are seen as
performing an "educational" function,
rescuing humanity from all kinds of embarrassing, antisocial behaviors brought
on by inappropriate emotional responses.
Watching the televised programming and
seeing the advertisements
teaches one to behave appropriately in comparable social circumstances. Having the 'right' product
or using the 'right' service elicits, by conditioned associations, the
"correct" emotion at the 'right' time/place.
Negative emotions have a "right"
place too.
For example, crimes are supposed to
emotionally "sicken" us. To be "sickened" is
the right response, unless the crime is committed by the
State for National Security purposes, in which case to be
"sickened" is the wrong response.
We have been conditioned to either
suppress or
express our
emotion, but each must be done in the proper
place at the proper time.
Emotional correctness in these matters is particularly
important for public figures, who, by
expressing appropriate
emotions, set an example the rest of us are
supposed to follow.
If our emotions
do not fit within projected guidelines then we must
suppress them.
People
who do not exhibit the 'right' emotions are
seen as either; "cold", "repressed",
"cynical", "emotionally uptight",
"unfeeling", "aloof", etcetera or sometimes simply as "raving lunatics".
We are taught to not
trust anyone who comes across as
inappropriately emotional as he/she is a "raving lunatic" unable to mask and hide his/her
emotions - a sure sign of
mental instability.
Emotions are the lowest form of
consciousness emanating from our
animal brains.
Actions based on
emotions are the most contracted, narrowing,
form of behavior.
We are
blinded to the fact that
emotions can create an active and harmful form of stupor.
Emotions are caused by biochemical
secretions in the body as a survival mechanism to external stimuli.
Emotions are the emergency alarms.
The
organism at the point of death terror
goes into a paroxysm of frantic activity - much like a
materialistically conditioned person's
everyday existence. Like a fish flipping
blindly out of water. Like a
crazy, cornered
animal.
Emotions become an
addictive narcotic stupefacient.
Only by rejecting the dichotomy of
expression or
repression
can we perceive
relative freedom from
emotional control as "good".
To free
ourselves from the cycle of expression or
repression we need to learn to release
emotion.
The only state in which we can learn, harmonize,
grow, merge, join,
and understand is in the absence of
emotional confusion.
This is when we can focus.
Those who meditate call this state
bliss or ecstasy and it is attained
through centering and balancing
one's emotions. (An outward physical
manifestation of the soul's
center is seen in the
sacred axis mundi.)
When
one's attention is focused the intense emotional churning that affects our
internal lives stops.
We are
then free to release the
emotions that we have tried for so long to
bury.
This is the experience of
mystical release that has changed so
many lives for the better throughout history.
This is the great kick of
the mystical experience, the exultant,
ecstatic hit, the sudden
relief from emotional pressure which
creates a
journey into
bliss and a release from
emotional bondage.
distraction
focus = directed attention
distraction = involuntary fragmentation of
attention Industrialized
materialistic social culture has the tendency of turning
naturally focused people into
chronically distracted
automatons -
mindless human robots.
Industrialized materialistic social
culture regards focused people as a threat, they ask too many awkward
questions - the kind we're not supposed
to ask. To avoid these questions,
industrialized materialistic social
culture distract the individual by requiring the individual to
embrace a frenzy of
competitive activities
requiring relatively little critical
thinking.
Our jobs take place in boxes,
television/media opinions
answer all our questions,
advertisers
educate us to recognize what we want and
need.
Celebrity trivia,
con games,
scandals, sexcapades, extortion, robbery, rape and murder endlessly
invade our
emotional
security as we learn of all the
horrible tragedies that have befallen
our sisters and brothers.
This frenzied
distraction is began by outside forces, but it soon becomes internalized and
self-reinforcing.
So
after a busy, distracting day, we pursue
more distraction in the form of entertainment rather than enter
a focused state of mind.
Eventually
our own minds become the
source of distraction.
When children learn new
skills – walking, reading etcetera
– they have to focus; they tap into a reservoir of potential
concentration. But when a skill becomes
habitual/automatic, the concentration is no longer needed.
By the time
we're adults, most essential
skills are habitual – we no longer need
to concentrate in order to walk, talk, behave politely, etcetera.
The
reservoir of potential concentration should therefore be
free for other uses. But instead of tapping
into this 'freed' up potential concentration, we're seduced or
coerced with industrialized materialistic social
cultural distractions.
Our minds
swarm – we react involuntarily to any passing stimuli.
Try to walk
by a television that is on without
involuntarily looking at it.
This is the
true meaning of "fitting in".
Distraction is the social norm and
anyone who doesn't join in is regarded as antisocial or suspiciously
non-conforming.
Advertisers brainwash us into
reflexively associating distraction with enjoyment, as if involuntary
fragmentation of attention is the definition of fun.
Meanwhile, 'education', for most people, was about having
to focus and concentrate on things
found to be boring and unpleasant - taking and cramming for exams, which is
intended to program us precisely as it has.
So we end up being
programmed to think that focusing or
concentrating is an unpleasant task and distraction
creates happiness.
But the
opposite is
true according to brain chemistry:
focus can trigger a big release of endorphins, whereas distraction usually
inhibits this release.
We become emotionally imbalanced.
Survival, for
most of us, requires a degree of "fitting in" to "normal
social culture".
Powerful economic
forces make sure that our "fitting in" is long and distracting = 40+ hours a
week.
Given this chronic distraction, it's not surprising that so few
people tune into focused states of mind.
Distraction addicts often seek more and more intensity of distraction,
but never feel satisfied.
The
best thing for thrill-seekers is to sit in a quiet room learning how to
concentrate.
- adapted from
the distraction
system
purpose A
person's life is already an
expression of their purpose, whether
this purpose operates consciously or
subconsciously.
You don't need permission to decide your own purpose!
No
boss, teacher, parent, priest, pundit, proselytizer or other authority can
decide your purpose for you.
Although no one can decide your purpose for
you be aware that if you chose
a path that is not based upon
reality, the
natural order and the Laws of God you run
the risk of becoming sick and falling into
spiritual
corruption.
Purpose has nothing to do with
sacrifice, getting approval,
being ‘selfless' or
conforming to somebody else's
idea of the correct
way to live.
It doesn't mean
giving up something you enjoy for something more ‘worthy'.
Your
purpose is derived from what you value most.
(If what you value involves living in
a fantasy world
you are in serious trouble.)
It pays, therefore, to resolve conflicting
values so that you avoid being a
slave to someone else's purpose. (There
are no contradictions in
reality. Incorrect presuppositions and
assumptions lead to contradictions.)
This technique
allows you to identify your purpose by bypassing the conditioned
thought associations
relating to
‘permission' and ‘disapproval' syndromes:
Keeping in
mind at all times the principle of "no harm".
1. Identify your
talents.
2. Identify how you most
like spending your time.
3.
Imagine your idea of a perfect world based in
reality.
Your purpose is what connects these three things together.
In other words, it is the
way you can use your characteristics,
abilities and attributes in activities you enjoy, to manifest your
vision of a perfect world based in reality.
Do not be deceived into
believing this will not work because of the
simplicity of this technique.
"Love and
coercion cannot possibly flourish
together.
The one grows out of our best feelings: the other has its root in
our worst.
Love is sympathetic:
Coercion is callous.
Love is gentle:
Coercion is harsh.
Love is self-sacrificing:
Coercion is selfish." - Herbert
Spencer
"The coercion of an individual or a group
by force is always in itself more or less harmful."
-
Bertrand Russell
“The ideal
society can be described, quite simply, as
that in which no man has the power or the
means to coerce others.” - Edward
AbbeyMarketers are
aware of materialistic
consumer oriented social cultural
bias towards "self-determination" =
individualist self-control of
external conditions.
Marketing and
public relations people, 'policy marketers',
know we're more likely to yield to their
persuasions if we believe we're personally
in control and not being
coerced - when we sense
coercion we respond with resentment
and resistance.
Large materialistic
consumer oriented social cultural
institutions, basically
corporations and the
State, make frequent use of
self-determining
words such as "opportunity", "incentive" and
"challenge" - tools of resentment management.
Orwellian "doublespeak"
has become a common way of disguising coercion.
"What sorrow for
those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light
is dark." - Isaiah 5:20
Can a "benefit" be beneficial if it's
compulsory?
Does an "incentive" make people more
ambitious if it's actually a threat?
Employees may not be able to refuse the "offer" of overtime.
Many long-standing compulsory benefits have a benign appearance and are
largely accepted unquestioningly .
This indicates, to those who
practice doublespeak, that doublespeak is a highly effective strategy.
The technique is to let you believe
you have a "free choice" – when, in fact, all you have is a dilemma
-
a "free choice" implies at least one favorable option; a dilemma means each
option is unfavorable.
In materialistic
consumer oriented
culture language is saturated with
self-determining
words
that hide
coercion by disguising dilemmas as
choices.
In such a social cultural environment employees may actually
come to believe they are performing
repetitive, mindless tasks eight hours
a day, out of personal choice, rather than
economic dilemma.
Resentment management
is a subset of "damage limitation".
Damage limitation plays a massive
role in advertising – many
large institutions use
advertisements, not for selling
products, but for deflecting some of the hostility, suspicion and anxiety the
public feels towards them.

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 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.
