A hero exhibits extraordinary courage,
fortitude or greatness of soul.

Superheroes of today are 'bad role models'

Journey From the Psychology of Evil to the Psychology of Heroism


The hero personality module, one of the major personality archetypes, is very important for the psyche, especially a traumatized psyche.

To engage in a task that seems impossible to succeed at the psyche must enter into a mode of thinking alien to survival needs.

Mere mortal man may accomplish amazing feats like demigods.

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.



What Makes a Hero?



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, seize him and submerge 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.

spark of light


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.

"The knowledge that heroic deeds are recorded and revered encourages acts of bravery and self-sacrifice that otherwise run contrary to the individual sense of self-preservation." - John D. Barrow



Believe Me, You Don't Want Someone to Save the World



hero is defined as a

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

Hero, a Greek mathematician, developed a formula for determining the area of a triangle and designed water-driven and steam-driven machines.

Latin servare "to save, deliver, preserve, protect;" see observe).

Sense of "chief male character in a play, story, etc." first recorded 1690s.

1540s, shortened from heroical (early 15c.), also heroycus "noble, magnanimous," from Latin heroicus "of a hero, heroic, mythical", from Greek heroikos "pertaining to heroes."

1590s "heroic verse"

1650s Latin heroine, heroina (plural heroinae) "a female hero, a demigoddess" (e.g. Medea), from Greek heroine, fem. of hero.

hero (of the underworld) definition:

n. heroin: Don says he knows the hero of the underworld well.



obstacles

"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
 

The Heroic Journey



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.

Brother Sun and Sister Moon



"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



Dalai Lama


"Fame or wealth or power

are not qualifications of a spiritual leader!"

Tenzin Gyatso



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 Spartan 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 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 c☢rp☢rate 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.
