"If they had stood before me and listened to me,
they would have spoken my words, and they would have turned my people from
their evil ways and deeds." - Jeremiah 23:22
If
an individual can accept the reality of
the truth of his or her
existence on this
Earth then that individual will
realize that all
human beings possess a basic
knowledge of the
principles of
God's Natural
Law.
God is the giver of
Natural Law.
Natural Law is
universally binding within nature and the
precepts of Natural Law are universally
knowable through the observation of
nature.
There is a core
of practical knowledge that all
human beings
develop over their
lifetimes.
Natural Law holds that
we know immediately, by
intuition, that there are a
variety of
things that will benefit
us
- life, procreation,
knowledge,
social contact, and
reasonable moral conduct - also
known as the natural moral order.
The
principles of
reasonable moral conduct hold
everywhere, always, absolutely.
God's choosing to bring into
existence
human beings who can
act
freely and in accordance with
principles of
reason is enough to
justify our
thinking of those
principles of
reason as God's Natural
Law.
The
fundamental
principle of the
Natural Law of God is that all actions must be of the reverance
and affirmation of life.
Natural Law is given by God.
Natural
Law is naturally authoritative over all human beings.
Natural Law is naturally
knowable by all
human beings.
Human beings'
common
nature, their physiological similarity,
makes them such as to have desires
in common, and these
desires are so central to
human aims and purposes that
we can build important and correct
precepts of rationality around
them.
What is good for an
oak is what is
good for the
oak, and this depends on the
category of
thing that an
oak is by
nature; and what is
good for a human depends on what is
good for a human, and this depends on the
category of
thing a
human is by
nature.
Human beings enjoy a
warm cozy dry shelter on a rainy windy dark
night;
Human beings
desire to pursue
honest
living of their
lives;
Human beings enjoy
other amiable friendly polite
human beings;
Human beings
desire to be accepted, enfolded,
enwrapped and admired within their
social culture;
Human beings enjoy
the aroma and flavor of a meal prepared from wholesome food;
Human beings
desire
to live freely and be the
benificants of their own sweat and blood - labor(employment);
Human beings enjoy the breeze on their
faces, the sun on their shoulders and
the trickling sound of a cold clear brook;
Human beings
desire
to live in the natural environment,
thirsting after clear, clean water and
pure refreshing air;
Human beings
desire and thirst after
knowledge in an attempt to
understand
reality as
reality truly is;
Human beings enjoy bringing new
life, their sons and daugthers, into this
glorious
wonderous
life on Earth;
Human beings are
grateful for every
day they wake up to enjoy
another
day;
Human beings enjoy the
immense relief of the realization that an abandonment of the constant concern
for self (body and mind/spirit/soul), inherent in all
human beings, returns the
mind/spirit/soul to the
Dreamtime, the
time before that fateful
day that the
Serpent tricked
Eve into giving
Adam the fruit from the
Tree of Good and Evil that doomed him to a
material life were
Adam's principal overriding
concerned was with himself and
his material situation - a return to
the time when
Yahweh
strolls hand in hand with
Adam, his
son, through the bountiful and
blissfully enchanting
Garden of Eden in the fading evening
sunlight on a
day with
perfect weather;
and so
forth.
There is a substantial
good surrounding the
moral rules
mankind has formulated to facilitate
civilization over the last few
millennium.What is
good for humans?
Life, procreation and
family, social life and friendship,
rational conduct, practical
reasonableness, authenticity, integrity,
justice,
knowledge and
truth,
virtue and
wisdom,
appreciation of
beauty,
aesthetic
experience, inner peace, contentment,
happiness, health, playful activities
and the enjoyment of the natural Earth are
all good for
humans.
There are a number of
situations in which there is a right
answer, yet in which that
right
answer is not dictated by any set of
man made
rules, but rather is grasped by the
individual through
intuition.
Rational human beings like
us are able to grasp
our role in
reality and
freely
act upon that
knowledge.
Jesus,
Thomas Aquinas, held and
Thich Nhat Hanh holds that this
master
rule is the rule of universal love, that one should love one's
neighbor as oneself. (see
The Golden Rule)
This
rule bids us to respond lovingly wherever it can be
realized -
!! FIRST NO HARM
!!
Respect the
knowledge that each and every
life is
individual; no two
lives can ever possibly have
identical selves.
Lives may be similar through
cultural,
social or
environmental means but can
never be the same actual SELF, not
even a clone would be the same.
The
Natural Law of God is incompatible with
nihilism, with
materialism and
conventionalism.
(21st century American popular
culture can be easily identified as the
cult of materialist,
nihilistic
conventionalism).
All human beings are obligated to follow the
Natural Law of God. Failing
to follow the Natural Law of
God causes us to fall into
spiritual
corruption. When we attempt to reject God's Law
in favor of laws of our own devising we have
fallen into the transcendental
temptation. Those who espouse relativism,
moral precepts based on
expediency, have rejected God's
Natural Moral Order for an order of
their own devising.
Dishonesty with one's self
leads to a failure of
one's vision, a walk in the
dark removed from the
consciousness of presence of God, an
acceptance of a false
reality based on unattainable
fantasy resulting in great unhappiness
which in turn causes both physical and
spiritual
corruption.
‘Morally
correct’ by current religious
ideology, dogma, has become so
corrupt it should be jettisoned, leaving
in its place the notion of the reasonable,
God's Natural Moral Order.
The ancients did not seek to
rule
men with
knowledge,
But to help them
become natural.
It is difficult for knowledgeable
men to become natural;
So
to use law to
control a nation weakens the nation,
But to use nature to
control a nation strengthens the nation.
Understanding these two paths
is understanding subtlety;
Subtlety runs deep, ranges wide,
Resolves
confusion and preserves
peace.
Lao Tzu
Clear and frequent impressions about
living according to
nature are constantly and consistently
showered upon us by God. A
life lived in accord with
nature is dependent on
God and God's
gifts,
help, and
inspirations. Nothing hinders
any person from living according to
nature accept not observing the
admonitions of
God.
David
Hume/Thomas Aquinas/Rene Descartes |

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.
All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and
