I swear the Earth shall surely be complete

to him or her who shall be complete,

The Earth remains jagged and broken only

to him or her who remains jagged and broken.

I swear there is no greatness or

power that does not emulate those of the Earth,

There can be no theory of any account

unless it corroborate the theory of the Earth,

No politics, song, religion,

behavior, or what not, is of account,

unless it compare with the amplitude of the Earth,

Unless it face the impartiality and rectitude of the Earth.

Walt Whitman

Americans and God

Belief in Hell Linked with Sadness

Between 85% to 90% of Americans willing to answer questions asking about their belief in God claim to believe in God.

Americans that do believe in God have very different conceptual constructs.

American beliefs about God can be neatly divided into four groups.

~ 30% believe in an Authoritarian God, defined as a judgmental deity capable of inflicting punishment.

More individuals in the South and Midwest believe in an Authoritarian God.

~ 40% of those with high school education believe in an Authoritarian God.

~ 55% of those who believe in a Authoritarian God believe God has testicles.

More Catholics believe in a Benevolent God, described as a God who judges mankind (but not as harshly as John Calvin), than in an Authoritarian God.

~ 25% of believers believe in a Distant God.

A Distant God is defined as setting the Laws of Nature but not acting within reality to breach those Laws of Nature.

Believers in a Distant God are 72 times less likely than those believing in an Authoritarian God to attempt to convert others to their belief system.

Only ~ 2% of believers in a Distant God interpret the Bible literally.

The last mode of belief is the Critical God.

Critical God followers believe God's displeasure will be felt in another life.





Chinese charater for faith

"Knowledge is faith mediated by symbols."

George Santayana




"Self-confidence is the basis of faith."

Sri Sathya Sai Baba


faith is herein defined as:

trust in senses

certainty of understanding

reoccurring pattern recognition

previously occurrances are likely to occur again;

confidence in individual ability to have properly discerned reality;

a persuasion of the mind the noumenon has been properly identified.

Knowledge is an essential element in all faith, and is sometimes
spoken of as an equivalent to faith (John 10:38; 1 John 2:3).



dignity

"I admire people with an unshakable fundamental integrity
and an allegiance to truth." - Bruce McDonald



Faith is not the credulity of an awestruck ignorance.

Faith is the consciousness and the confident of compassion.

Faith denies the absurd, even in the presence of the unknown.

Faith grasps the dignity of courage within the reality of enthusiasm.

Faith does not consist of the affirmation of a symbol, but of a genuine and constant aspiration towards the truths which are all veiled by symbolisms.

Faith requires the object of faith to always remain a mystery.

To formulate aspiration, faith is forced to borrow aspirations and images from the known." - Eliphas Levi



leap of faith


"The leap of faith is really a very ordinary operation.

We take it when we fall in love, expect reciprocation in return for a good deed, impulsively sacrifice some little piece of self-interest." - Lee Siegel


"My faith is weak, my eyes blind from the blaze of the desert sun.

The heat lies on me like lead.

Thirst torments me, I dare not think how unendingly long my way is, and above all, I see nothing in front of me."

The Eternal Soul answers:

"You speak as if you have learned nothing.

Can you not wait?

Should everything fall into your lap ripe and finished?

You teem with fantasies, intentions and desire!

The Way stands open only to those without intentions." - Carl Gustav Jung



true faith

True faith is synonymous with certitude.

True faith has nothing to do with belief systems.


"He whose mind is unsteady, who knows not the path of Truth, whose faith and peace are ever wavering, he shall never reach fullness of wisdom.

He whose mind in calm self-control is free from the lust of desires, who has risen above good and evil, he is awake and has no fear." - Dhammapada

People have faith for the same reason a person has a worldview - truth resonates rationally and spirtually over a wide range of living experiences.

The opinion religion is grounded in fear is an article of "faith".

True faith, grounded in the noumenon, has to relate directly to life lived.

True faith is known in the heart, not taught - no one needs an intercessor!



Did adapting to smoke let us outlive Neanderthals?

Tolerance of smoke may have given us an edge over Neanderthals

"Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire
by night
left its place in front of the people." - Exodus 13:22



True faith teaches reason and intuition are to be trusted.

No instruction should be accepted if it does not make logical sense.

True faith teaches the true reality inside your heart and soul can be trusted to have a common structure with the true reality in which we are immersed.

True faith is built on the central pillars of honesty with oneself.

This requires a reasonable, logical , rational and realistic worldview.

True faith awakens an understanding of the emotions that drive people.



A Stiff Necked People



It may come as a surprise to many students of the Bible that in the original Hebrew text the body of water the Israelites crossed when leaving Egypt is called yam suph, "Sea of Reeds," not "Red Sea" (Ex 15:4, 22; Dt 11:4; Jos 2:10; 4:23; 24:6; Neh 9:9; Ps 106:7, 9, 33; 136:13, 15).

Unfortunately, yam suph has been rendered Red Sea in nearly all of translations, the Jerusalem Bible and the New Jewish Publication Society Hebrew Bible being notable exceptions.

The Red Sea phrase came into the account with the third century BC translation of the Old Testament into Greek.

Septuagint translators made yam suph (Sea of Reeds) into eruthrá thálasse (Red Sea).

The Latin Vulgate followed their lead with mari Rubro (Red Sea) and most English versions continued that tradition.

The Hebrews fled Pharaoh Horemheb through the Sea of Reeds as his chariots could not follow.

This website defines a new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion 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 pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate ¢rime."

This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards 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 p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass media psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
