The hero
participates in life courageously in
a natural and honorable
way.
A hero, in the myths of old,
were greater than mere mortal men or
women.
The hero, able
to leap buildings in a single bound, was considered to be the
offspring of the mating of a god
or goddess with a mortal woman or man.
The hero, being
a son or daughter of the gods, is not
any mere mortal.
The hero,
a carrier of godly power beyond
the reach of mortal men,
travels the connection
between Heaven and Earth becoming an
Avatar of the
Divine.
The hero's sphere of action is
in the field of time,
in the moment here and now
in a sharply defined dual
reality - broken into pairs of
opposites:
good
and evil;
light and dark;
man and woman;
rich and poor.
The hero
draws on a power from
outside the visible world.
A Celtic hero was recognized by the
berserker frenzy (ferg) they fell into, operating in
the red haze of angrily
boiling blood.
When
Cuchulainn returned
from his first expedition fifty naked maidens sent to meet him, seized him and
submerged him in three tubs of water
the first exploded, the second
boiled over and the third was left heated.
(The link between the
word for the heat generated by
a warrior under the spell of
ferg and its homophone is applied to sexual excitement.)
The concept of reality
as a never ending conflict between
the dark force of Chaos and
the light force of
Order is shared by the prophet Zoroaster.
Roman Bishops under
Athanasius of
Alexandria folded into the synthesized religion of
Christianity the battle between Ahura
Mazda, Order, and
Angra Mainyu,
Chaos, to fulfill
the needs of Emperor
Constantine which included
conversion of the
Roman Legions, followers
of the Mithras Mysteries and
Jupiter Optimus Maximus
Soter, into Pauline
Christian followers of Christ.
In Eastern
thought good and evil
is relative to your
position.
When one moves out of
the transcendent, one comes into a field of
opposites of male and female, of
right and wrong, and of
light and dark.
When One has eaten of the
Tree of Knowledge
innocence is lost.
Communion with Creation is
suspended, rational
mind ceaselessly searches.
Constantly shifting through
relational knowledge filed
away in the
Akashic Records searching for
engineered solutions to
unsolvable
dilemmas.
Everything in the field of time is judged on
multiple levels in a dualistic
manner by the rational mind - past and future,
animate or
inanimate.
A multilevel image
is painted in a framed perspective within the
mind.
The base
biological pair of every human subconscious is
male and female.
One may
be preeminent or may be represented in a more balanced nature.
In
Chinese thought this is represented by
 .
The Animus may undertake the heroic
journey of going out into the world, engaging the world,
bringing home sustenance and protecting
the homeland.
The Anima may
nurture offspring,
order the household, shepherd the
ruminants, cultivate
sustenance and keep the home
fire burning.
hero is defined as a
seemingly ordinary
individual:
possessing superior skills in any field of
endeavor;
distinguished by exceptional courage and/or ability,
brave deeds and noble
qualities
who finds the strength to
persevere in spite of
the overwhelming obstacles placed in the
way
who, in the opinion of
others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded
as a model or
ideal

determining the area of a triangle and designed water-driven and steam-driven
machines.

" A new hypnotic, to
which the name of "Heroin™" has been given,
has been tried in the medical clinic of Professor Gerhardt in Berlin." - The
Lancet, Dec. 3, 1898
hero (of the underworld) definition:
n.
heroin: Don says he knows the
hero of the underworld well.
"We watch an ant make his
laborious way across a wind- and wave-molded beach.
He moves ahead,
angles to the right to ease his climb up a steep dunelet, detours around a
pebble, stops for a moment to exchange information.
Thus he makes his
weaving, halting way back to his home.
It is a sequence of irregular,
angular segments - not quite a random walk, for it has an underlying sense of
direction, of aiming toward a goal.
He has a general sense of where
home lies, but he cannot foresee all the obstacles between.
He must
adapt his course repeatedly to the
difficulties he encounters
and often detour uncrossable barriers.
His horizons are very close, so
that he deals with each obstacle as he comes to it; he probes for ways around
or over it, without much thought for future obstacles.
It is easy to
trap him into deep detours." - Herbert A. Simon |
Every Hero' Journey
requires the overcoming of obstacles.
Obstacles may be external or
internal but typically involve
both elements.
Metaphoric
allegories use external
obstacles to speak of internal
obstacles that every individual faces in the Journey through Life.
The Hero' Journey involves
a metamorphosis
through time that changes the heroic personality by
tempering the Eternal Soul in the
Fires of Life.
Mammals are mimics
navigating reality by copying survival
pattern success.
"Be praised, my
Creator, for all your creatures, especially
Brother Sun who shines with
Lumière
Infinie.
Be praised, my Creator, for
Sister Moon and the
sparkling stars in the expansive
infinite heavens.
Be praised, my Creator, for
Brother Wind, Air, Cloud and Storm
through which you grant sustenance.
Be praised, my Creator, for
Sister Water, in her humbleness keep her
clean, precious and pure.
Be praised, my Creator, for
Brother Fire, through whom you brighten the
night. It is He, powerful and strong, crackling away that warms bones on cold
nights.
Be praised, my Creator, for
Mother Earth, who feeds us
producing hearty vegetables,
fruits and spicy herbs.
Be praised, my
Creator, for standing by those who
endure
sickness and trial." - Francis of
Assisi
"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 Shepherd
instead of Christ on the Cross." - Bill
McKibben
"Francis of Assisi, a radical advocate of renewal, had no
intention of being original, but merely tried to return to "following the
doctrine" of walking in the "footsteps of Jesus." - Jon
Sobrino, Jesus the Liberator
1937 The 14th Dalai Lama is selected as the Tülku of the
13th Dalai Lama.
A Tülku is
a reincarnate custodian
or a patriarch that
reliably returns to human form of a specific lineage of teachings in Tibetan
Buddhism who is empowered and trained from a young age by students of his
predecessor.
A Tülku descends to Earth to bring enlightment to his
followers.
1939 The 14th Dalai Lama is announced
at a public declaration near the town of Bumchen.
The Tülku is
brought up inside a monastery, under the direction of a head tutor and a number
of other teachers or servants.
He must study hard and adhere to a
strict regimen.
He has few if any toys or playmates, and is rarely
allowed outside.
Early on, he learns to receive important visitors,
take part in complicated rituals, and give blessings to followers and
pilgrims.
Countering the bleak academic regimen is
an atmosphere of overwhelming,
unconditional love.
During every waking moment, monks, family
members and awed visitors shower the Tülku with
adoration.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged 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 a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery 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 the Creator and Sustainer
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 the Lumière Infinie 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 economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
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 corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate 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.
