myth: mystery

Alan Watts: Mysticism

mystery of the human psyche

Vedic Cosmology: Mysteries of the Sacred Universe

For the mystic and the artist,

something greater than self

lives within us.

Breath flows in and out of us,

food moves through us,

matter circulates within us,

replacing every cell and atom

in our bodies repeatedly

over the course of a lifetime.

Life flows through us.

Life lives through us,

despite our misperception

that it is the other way around.

Alan Watts: Silence is Key

"For homo religiosus "the appearance of life is the central mystery".

Life comes from somewhere that is not this world and finally depart from here and goes to the beyond, in some mysterious way continues in an unknown place inaccessible to the majority of mortals." - Mircea Eliade

"In the mystery absorb the Spirit in silent contemplation and thanksgiving.

Perform acts of compassion and justice throughout the world.

Breathe in the bliss and strength of Allah; breathe out with loving and just action the power that has been bestowed on you by Allah." - Rumi

"They crossed land stitched by mountain ridges between broad plateaus.

Crossing them, Bistami felt they had traveled up into a higher space, where sunsets threw long shadows over a vast, dark, windy world.

As a last shard of sunset light shot under dark lowering clouds Bistami heard from somewhere in camp a musician playing, carving in the air a long plaintive melody that wound on, the song of a plateau soul in the dusk.

The sultana stood at the edge of camp, listening, watching the sun descend.

It dropped at the very speed of time itself.

No human mind could comprehend of no need to speak in this world.

The music only touched the hem of it and that strand they only felt.

The universal whole was beyond them.

And yet; sometimes, as at this moment, at dusk in the wind, we catch with a sixth sense we don't know we have, glimpses of shapes of cosmic significance, a sense of everything as holy - beyond sense, thought and even feeling - our visible world, lit from within, by vibrant reality." - Kim Stanley Robinson

There is deep mystery - the mystery of life, mystery of consciousness and the mystery of your natural place within existent reality.

Existence is a mysterium, a mystery, tremendum et fascinans-tremendous, terrifyingly horrific when initially contemplated because true understanding smashes all of your fixed notions of existent reality.

Horrific, yet utterly fascinating, the beauty of nature and your own being.

When you start thinking about these things, about the mystery within, which includes Eternal Life, there are not many symbolic conceptual images to use.

Without prior intellectual knowledge you begin to recognize symbolic images conveyed in personal spiritual experiences as present in other systems of thought, cultures and religions.

When you see your spiritual experiences as parallel to those of individuals from other cultures, other ages, other social systems then you understand these individuals had a spiritual life nearly identical to your own.

The BLACK moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment copmes the light.

In the deepest bleakest blackest moment
the true message of transformation comes through.

"The erring wanderer,

lost in the wilds of remoteness and nothingness,

will enter the tabernacle of life,

and attain reunion with his heart's desire."

Bahá'u'lláh

"He who in early days was unwise but later found wisdom,
sheds a light over the world like that of the moon when free from clouds."

Dhammapada

The divine spark of Creation in you does not die - this is your Eternal Soul.

The divine spark of Creation that lives within in you flames up and burns away the ego detritus that has enveloped your Eternal Soul with unnatural desire or false understanding revealing in full the human heart.

The divine spark of Creation survives ego death and is resurrected.

Heaven and hell reside within the Eternal Soul of every man and woman.

This is a great realization of the Upanishads of India in the 9th century BC.

All the gods, all the heavens, all the worlds, are within each of us.

They are magnified archetypical dreams, manifestations of the imagination filled with symbolic conceptual imagery.

That is what myths are.

The mystery of life is beyond accurate human conception.

Everything we think about is first bounded by the terminology of the concepts we use to define reality - of being and not being, many and single, true and untrue.

We first compartmentalize our thoughts by thinking in terms of opposites.

We do this in order to decide how to think about the object of contemplation.

Will we hold the object up in the light so that we see it for what it truly is?

Or perhaps we take the object into the dark because we are afraid that if we look too closely we may actually see something we did not want to see !

Human beings search for a way of experiencing reality that is transcendent as the Eternal Soul aches to be reunited with the Ineffable.

The Eternal Soul searches for spiritually transforming experience as such inform the pathways of integral consciousness.

Human beings want to resonate in harmony with the grand symphony that is existent reality.

Human beings want to feel the mystery that informs all things - to feel the divine presence within.

There are no symbolic conceptual images that have the ability to properly portray the actual mystical experience - they can only suggest it.

The ultimate mystery of existence can not be translated into primitive material symbols or any other conceptual structure understood by the rational mind as understanding only comes from Walking the Thinspace.

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.
