The works of nature are contrived by a wisdom, natural philosophy being the knowledge of the principles, properties and operations of things as they are in and of themselves.

Let men only be told upon occasion,
that God made and governs all things,
hears and sees every thing,
and does all manner of good to those that love and follow God.

The state of nature, prior to the existence of human government,
is subject to the rule of natural or divine laws
which are revealed through the exercise of reason.

Civil government comes about as a result of a social contract.

The chief reason for establishing governments is the preservation of private property.

Good is whatever produces pleasure and evil whatever produces pain.

There are no innate ideas. Ideas are images that represent physical and mental things.

Human knowledge is derived either from sense experience or from introspection (reflection).

Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The labor of his body and the work of his hands are properly his.

on education

I have written concerning education all tending towards a gentleman's calling with which a trade appears wholly inconsistent. And yet I cannot forbear to say learn a trade, a manual trade.

Civil law and history are studies which a gentleman should not barely touch at,but constantly dwell upon, and never have done with.

Of all the men we meet with nine parts of ten are what they are, good or evil, useful or not, by their education.

That which parents should take care of here,
is to distinguish between the wants of fancy, and those of nature

Curiosity is but an appetite after knowledge; and therefore ought to be encouraged, as the great instrument nature has provided to remove ignorance.

The great business of all is virtue and wisdom:
Teach mastery over inclinations, and submit appetite to reason.

-John Locke, English philosopher

Frances Bacon, Edmund Burke

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a new religious ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has created 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 the religion aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational 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 God 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 Life 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 central banking system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military complex of America and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation 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 mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass 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.
