LITERATURE

The Ideal in America



The ancient Greeks called the Earth 'beauty'.

Such is the substance of things, plastic power of the human eye, primary forms, the sky, the mountain, the tree, the animal, all give us a delight in and of themselves; a pleasure arising from outline, color, motion, and grouping.

This appears partly owing to the eye itself. The eye is the best of artists.

But this beauty of nature which is seen and felt as beauty, is the least part.

The shows of day, the dewy morning, the rainbow, mountains, orchards in blossom, stars, moonlight, shadows in still water, and the like, if too eagerly hunted, become merely show and mock us with their unreality.

Go out of the house to see the moon, and it is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey through Life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson and The Psychology of Self-Reliance



Beauty shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October.

Go forth to find it, and it is gone; it is only a mirage in windows of diligence.

Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact.

Every appearance in nature corresponds to some state of the mind.

An enraged man is a lion, a cunning man is a fox, a firm man is a rock, a learned man is a torch.

A lamb is innocence; snake is subtle spite; flowers express delicate affections.

Light and darkness are familiar expressions for knowledge and ignorance.

Heat for passion.

In view of the significance of nature we see nature is a branch of knowledge.

This use of the Earth includes the preceding uses, as parts of itself.

Space, time, labor, climate, food, locomotion, the animals, the mechanical forces, give us sincerest lessons, day by day, whose meaning is limitless.

They educate with understanding through reason.

Every property of matter is a school for the understanding, its solidity or résistance, its inertia, its extension, its figure, its divisibility.

The understanding adds, divides, combines, measures, and finds nutriment.

Reason transfers all these lessons into its own world of thought.

Analogy marries matter and mind. This aspect of Nature is devout.

Sensible objects conform to premonitions of reason; conscience reflection.

All natural things are moral; in boundless reference to spiritual nature.

Therefore is nature glorious with form, color, and motion.

Every chemical change from the simplest crystal up to the laws of life; every change of vegetation from the first principle of growth in the eye of a leaf.

Nature, the ally of religion, lends pomp and riches to religious sentiment.

Prophet and priest, David, Isaiah, Jesus, have drawn deeply from nature.

This ethical character penetrates the bone and marrow of nature.

She kneels, breathing life into reality, hand outstretched toward life.

The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship."



Success

Chinese charater for success

"To laugh often and much;

to win the affection of children

and the respect of intelligent people;

to earn the appreciation of honest critics

and endure the betrayal of false friends;

to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;

to leave the Earth a bit better, whether by a healthy child,

a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded."

Ralph Waldo Emerson





"Ralph Waldo Emerson saw religious thought as the development of our innate senses of the good, the true and the beautiful, and said that these senses were a divine presence within us and that we were all a part of God.

Ralph saw salvation meant getting in touch with the deep sensitivities we have, and living out of them – living lives of truth, justice and compassion." - Davidson Loehr

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 world central banking system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, 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 internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate 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 press☟ng em☠ti☠nal butt☠ns 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 fami♙y 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 coercion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the population 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.
