The
hero is the one who comes to participate in life courageously and decently in
a natural and honorable way.
Heros, in the myths of old, were greater than mere mortal men or
women.
The hero typically 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, wears a mantle greater than that of 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 -
a duality - broken
sharply into pairs of opposites:
good and evil;
light and dark;
man and woman;
rich and poor.
Although
the hero acts in the present he, or she, is able
to draw on a power
from outside the visible world that no mortal possess'.
Celtic heros were
recognized when they fell into a berserker frenzy (ferg) in which they
operated in the red haze of angerly boiling blood.
When
Cuchulainn returned from his first
expedition fifty naked maidens were sent to meet him, they seized him and
submerged in in tubs of water the first of which shattered the second of which
boiled over and the third of which was left heated.
( The link between
the word for the heat generated by a warrior under the spell of ferg and
its homophone which 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
Alexander 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.
One
has eaten of the Tree of
Knowledge, not only of good and evil,
but of
male and female, of
right and wrong, and of
light and
dark.
Innocence is lost.
Communion with the
Creator is suspended.
The rational mind ceaselessly
searches.
Strolling down the library aisles and shifting through
the rational knowledge filed away in the
Akashic Records 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,
being and nonbeing - which then paints
an image of the object or event placed in time within the frame of the
perceiver's perspective.
The base biological pair of every
human subconscious duality 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 male subconscious may be
called upon to do the heros task of undertaking a heroic journey of going
out into the world, engaging the world, bringing home sustenance and
protecting the hearth.
The
female subconscious may be called upon to do the heros task of undertaking a
heroic journey of bearing and nurturing offspring, ordering the household
hearth, cultivating sustenance and keeping the home fire
burning.
Or the human subconscious duality may take
a dark sinister sexualized militarized form that
vacillates between the realms of self-focused Eros and projected Thanatos of a
collapsing moral order.
"The misuse, overuse and cynical manipulation of
the word "hero" exemplifies the erosion of the use of language that dumbs down
a media-saturated,
news-as-entertainment
spoon-fed public with "anyone can be hero."
How sad the acceptance of
an inappropriate usage can be so readily embraced by
a feel-good-at-any-price
populace." - William Comelately
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
Hero, a Greek mathematician, developed a formula for
determining the area of a triangle and designed water-driven and steam-driven
machines.

play, story, etc." first recorded 1690s.

"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.
Every hero's journey
requires the overcoming of
obstacles.
Obstacles may be
external or they may be
internal but in most cases they involve both elements.
Although
obstacles may be either internal or external the tale of the hero's journey,
related in a metaphoric
allegorical mode of the myth, uses external obstacles to speak of
internal obstacles that
every individual must face in the Journey of Life.
The hero's journey
involves a transition through time that changes the hero's personality by
tempering the hero or heroine's Soul in the Fires of Life.
For an
individual to become the hero they wish to be all one has to do is
mimic the model one wants to become.
People do this all the time, consciously or subconsciously, with
possibly the best example being how chidren
mimic the actions they see portrayed
on the black magic flat
screen. |

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.
