"Know thou,
that upon whatever hearts the bountiful showers of mercy,
raining from
the "heaven" of divine revelation, have
fallen,
the earth of those
hearts hath verily been changed into the earth
of
divine knowledge and wisdom." -
Bahá'u'lláh
"God created the pure body of Adam drawing it out
of the earth and
breathing into it His sacred
breath. God said to Gabriel, "Take from the sea of My Omnipotence three
pearls, place them on a plate of light, and present them to Adam so he can
choose one." The three pearls were reason, faith, and humility.
Gabriel
presented the plate to Adam. Adam, illumined by the divine light, chose the
pearl of reason. Gabriel wanted to take back the plate with the two pearls it
still held to the Sea of Omnipotence; but, because of their heaviness, he did
not have the strength to lift them. The pearls of faith and humility then said
to Gabriel, "We cannot separate ourselves from the holy company of our friend
Reason; without Reason, we cannot even exist. The pearls of the Sea of
Omnipotence are inseparable."
The voice of God rang out, "Gabriel,
leave the two pearls where they are and return!"
Reason installed
itself at the peak of the human intellect; faith lodged itself in Adam's pure
and sensitive heart; humility reigned on his holy face. These three pure pearls
are the heritage of the children of Adam.
Every child descended from
Adam who is not adorned by these pearls and does not shine with their
brilliance is shut off from the God's light and deprived of authentic gnosis."
- Rumi
God has charged
man with a sacred duty
of caring for the Earth,
which
God has provided for
mankind and for the animals.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be
called sons of God." - Matthew 5:9
"Those who
are led by the Spirit of God are
sons of God." - Romans 8:14
"You are all
sons of God through
faith in
Jesus."- Galatians
3:26
The difference between living in God and living with God:
living in God is living in life, naturally,
living with God is like living with a room mate,
secluded,
God is there but
God has been excluded from your
inner life.
Rejection of God causes an individual to
move outside of the reality of
life in God.
Living outside of the
reality of life is living
in a
fantasy of
spiritual corruption,
a false reality,
a
reality in which
ego fantasizes, prays and wishes all to no
avail.
living in
God = walking with God
One can not deny the
existence of
substance because all
substance,
everything one
sees, hears, smells, tastes, touchs or
thinks is within
existence.
Some
unknown power created
substance.
Historically
mankind has chosen to call this
unknownpower the Creator
or 'God'.
The
unknown power that created the matter of the universe,
the life on Earth and
that set the rules of
reality, the Law of God,
is the
power that
eternally
pulses within the
universe - GOD.
If any "revelation" doesn't measure up to
the inerrant Word of God, then the
"revelation" is false, for it is written in Romans
3:4,
"Let God be
true, though every man be found a liar."

witness I have gone through several
different phases in my life as to my
faith in God.
Throughout my
life I had never doubted the
existence of God.
I doubted my
understanding of
God was always correct, I doubted man's
understanding of
God was correct and I had questioned various
aspects of many theologies.
Several years
ago, I came to a very bleak spot in my life
were I felt that God just could not
exist.
I had
never had such a dark night of the
spirit in which my innermost being felt that God just could not exist.
In my
a dark night of the spirit I had what
some call a vision.(Psychiatrists call it a mental breakdown,
Buddhists call it
ego death which
creates
awakened heart.)
I was overwhelmed by a strong white
light from
within and yet also not of me.
I could not see clearly
within the
light but my soul understood this was
Jesus standing before me/within me with a blazing sword of
light.
But the sword was not metal it
was the sword of
true knowledge and
wisdom. (This made
logical sense as
I had been praying for wisdom
for over twenty years.)
My soul told
me that Jesus walked the
Earth with the
sword of
true knowledge and
wisdom and my
mind instantly labeled this as the Second
Coming of Jesus.
I began searching for proof of
God outside the theology I was familar with (this of course makes me
a heretic!) and I started to see that all men
had some idea of the
reality of God's existence, even atheists. (Atheists have
basically rejected the definitions they
have been given of God, finding those
definitions incompatible with
reality.)
Digging deeper I noted that
in many different places and times men had suggested that
knowledge and
wisdom - gnosis - was
the path to God.
I realized that
this knowledge that leads to
God was not technical
knowledge but a
true knowledge that was found deep
within one's own soul and was based on absolute
truths. (It was at this point that I realized
how easy it was for a man to delude
and deceive himself!)
And
that true knowledge came from
experiencing
reality while always searching for the
truth and not accepting anything without a firm and
strong foundation in reality.
In
an epiphanous moment a lifetime of conflicting
information all of a sudden made perfect
sense and I could see that which was the
truth and that which was in
error.
Now my
faith grows stronger every day.
I have absolutely no doubt of the reality of God.
The God of which I speak is the
God of Truth,
the God that created the universe and
everything within it, the God that sustains Creation.
The
God of which I speak is the
God that set the physical laws of the universe.
The
God of which I speak is the
God that breathes the
spark of
life into inanimate
substance and that every living thing
carries within it a spark of the
divine breath of God.
I have always searched for the
truth and my search now entails trying to be
able to express the
reality of the truth of God in
both a reasoning and
mystical manner that does not lead others
astray. (Which does happen quite frequently with the
current conglomeration of evolved
religions!)
It seems the biggest roadblock to attaining this is
man's ability to delude and
deceive himself and man's
dialectic
nature which tends to put him squarely on one
side - having either a rational
skeptical footing or a
mystical
blind
faith.
It is possible to hold
an observant scientific
viewpoint, rational and
logical, and still
stand in awe of the intricacies
and natural mysteries of reality -
God's creation - which
extends beyond any one man's ability to
completely comprehend.
We must satisfy
ourselves with learning as much as possible about while appreciating how little
we actually do comprehend and realizing that within that actual natural
objective reality there exists an
infinite number of
natural mysteries -
what is life? -
what is time? -
what is light? what is actual natural
objective reality? - what is existence? - what is the origin, nature, methods,
and limits of human knowledge - that can adequately fulfill the need for
mystery.
We must learn to see the
nearly incomprehensible beauty that
exists in the complex molecular structures
of the living organisms - children of God - that inhabit
the planet Earth.
We must look carefully at actual
natural objective reality - God's
creation - until we mesh with actual natural objective reality - seeing
ourselves as an individual stitch in the whole of the magnificent tapestry of
existence into which we have been woven by
the hand of God.

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.
