A
thing is
right if it tends to preserve the
stability, integrity, and beauty of the
biotic community.
It is
wrong if it tends otherwise.
It is horrifying that we have to fight
our own government to save the
environment.
In wisdom gathered over
time I have found
that every
experience is a form of
exploration.
Some
photographers take reality ... and impose
the domination of their own
thought and
spirit. Others come before
reality more tenderly and a photograph to
them is an instrument of love and
revelation.
Ansel Adams, American photographer, Presidential Medal of
Freedom recipient
A
day spent without the sight or sound of
beauty, the contemplation of
mystery, or the search of
truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken
day;
and a succession of such
days is fatal to
human life.
Restore
human legs as a means of travel.
Pedestrians
rely on food for fuel and need no special parking
facilities.
The way people in democracies think of the government
as something
different from themselves is a real handicap.
And, of course, sometimes the
government confirms their opinion.
Lewis Mumford,
American historian, Presidential Medal of
Freedom recipient
Our
society must make it right
and possible
for old people not to
fear
the young or be deserted by
them,
for the test of a civilization is the
way
that it cares for its
helpless members.
To serve is beautiful,
but only if it is done with
joy,
a whole heart and a free mind.
Pearl Buck, American author
The revolt against
individualism
naturally calls artists severely to account,
because the
artist is of all men the most individual;
those who were not have been
long forgotten.
Willa Cather, American author
I am the inferior of any
man whose
rights
I trample underfoot.
Horace Greeley, American editor of New York
Tribune
A
censor is a
man who
knows more than he
thinks you ought to.
Granville Hicks, communist
American author
Liberty is never out of bounds or off limits;
it spreads wherever it can capture
the imagination of
men.
E. B. White, American author
An age is called Dark not because the
light fails to
shine,
but because people refuse to see it.
The
permanent temptation of
life is to confuse dreams with reality.
James A. Michener, American author, Presidential Medal of Freedom
recipient
Half of the
harm that is done in this
world
is due to people who want to
feel important.
They
don't mean to do harm.
But the
harm does not interest them.
Humankind cannot bear very
much reality.
It is obvious that we
can no more explain a passion to a
person
who has never experienced it
than we can explain light to the
blind.
T. S. Eliot, American author, British citizen, Presidential
Medal of Freedom recipient
A good end cannot sanctify
evil means;
nor must
we ever do evil, that good
may come of it.
William Penn, Quaker, founder of the Province of
Pennsylvania
The
free man is he who does not
fear to go to the end of his
thought.
Leon Blum, French Jew and Prime Minister of
France
Joseph Conrad, Polish British author
Pablo Picasso, expressionist artist
Nobody
sees a flower really; it is so
small.
We haven't time, and to see takes
time -
like to have a friend takes
time.
Georgia O'Keeffe, American artist,
Presidential Medal of
Freedom recipient
I don't use
drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.
Henry de Jouvenel, French statesman and
journalist

by the advocates of error.
Benjamin Rush, Founding Father of the United
States,
physician, writer, educator, and humanitarian
Laws are like cobwebs which may catch small
flies,
but let wasps and hornets break
through.
Jonathan Swift, Anglo-Irish
author{Laws also, which by the great are easily evaded, and which
seem only made to entrap the poor, are, by common consent, called cobweb
contrivances. Those who waste their time and money in frivolous pursuits are
said to be weaving cobwebs.}
William Wordsworth, English romantic
poet
If you shut your door to
all error truth will be shut out.
Rabindranath Tagore, Indian author,
philosopher, artist
To be able to
think freely,
a
man must be certain that no
consequence
will follow whatever he
writes.
Ernest Renan, French
philosopher and author
Jorge Luis Borges, Argentine author
Carl Sandburgh, American poet
Presidential Medal of Freedom
recipient
"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions
of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the
song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of
wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed
to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear
not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part,
whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst and provide for it."
Patrick Henry, American orator
"Is a nation spawned by the
words of Patrick Henry now so afraid of
another terrorist attack, which may or may not happen, that a
majority of its
citizens will willingly forsake
their civil
liberties? When did we become such a nation
of cowards? We've faced much greater threats in our
history than
terrorism, yet a bunch of
mindless
fanatics fly some planes into
buildings and we react as if the Earth has
come to an end. If this causes us to lose our hard fought
liberties and hand unfettered
power to the
executive branch, then the
terrorists have already won." - Sid
Dutcher
War is terrorism, magnified a hundred times.
Building skyscrapers is the
nearest
peace time equivalent of war.
William H. Starrett,
American author
Garrison Keillor, American author
He that cannot
reason is a
fool.
He that will not is
a bigot.
He that dare not is
a slave.
Andrew Carnergie

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 entertainment 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.
All views and opinions presented on this web
