There is no happiness,
there is no
liberty,
there is no
enjoyment of life,
unless a
man can say,
when he rises in the
morning,
I shall be subject to the decision
of no
unwise judge
today.
Daniel Webster
American Senator and orator
Injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice everywhere.
Our lives
begin to end the day
we become silent about
things that
matter.
True peace is not
merely the absence of tension; it is the
presence of
justice.
The ultimate
weakness of
violence is that it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing it
seeks to destroy.
Instead of
diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may
murder the
liar,
but you cannot
murder the lie,
nor establish the
truth.
Through
violence you murder the hater,
but you do not murder
hate.
In fact, violence
merely increases hate.
An individual who breaks a
law that
conscience tells him is
unjust,
and who willingly accepts
the penalty of imprisonment in order
to arouse the
conscience of the community over
its injustice,
is in
reality expressing the highest
respect for
law.
Norman Vincent Peale
American Christian preacher
Presidential
Medal of Freedom recipient
Tears shed for self are
tears of weakness,
but tears shed for
others are a sign of strength.
Billy Graham
American Christian preacher,
Presidential
Medal of Freedom recipient
What light is to
the eyes –
what
air is to the lungs –
what
love is to the
heart,
liberty is to the soul of man.
Without
liberty,
the brain is a
dungeon,
where the chained
thoughts die
with their pinions pressed against the
hingeless doors.
Robert G. Ingersoll
American Orator
You can speak well if your
tongue can deliver the message of your heart.
John Ford, American director, Presidential Medal of
Freedom recipient
Everyone is a prisoner of his own
experiences.
No one can eliminate
prejudices - just recognize
them.
Our major obligation is not to
mistake
slogans for
solutions.
We must not confuse
dissent with disloyalty.
When the loyal opposition dies, I
think the soul of America dies with it.
Edward R. Murrow, American journalist, Presidential Medal of
Freedom recipient
Walter Cronkite, American
journalist
Presidential Medal of
Freedom recipient
Your
life and my
life flow into
each
other as wave flows into wave,
and unless there is peace and
joy and freedom for you,
there can be no
real peace
and joy and
freedom for me.
To see reality
- not as we
expect reality to be
but as
reality is - is to
see that unless
we live for
each
other and in and through each
other,
we do not really
live very satisfactorily;
that
there can really be life only
where there
really is, in just
this sense,
compassion.
Carl Frederick Buechner
American Presbyterian
minister
Life is a succession of lessons
which must be
lived to be
understood.
The
most pathetic individual in the
world
is someone who has
sight, but has no
vision.
Self-pity is
our worst enemy and if we
yield to it,
we can never do any
thing wise in this world.
It is better to be
happy for a
moment and be
burned up with
beauty than to live a long
time and be bored all the while.
Only
through experiences of trial and
suffering can the soul
be strengthened,
vision cleared,
ambition inspired and
success achieved.
One's
life story cannot be told with complete
veracity.
A true autobiography would
have to be
written in states of mind,
emotions,
heartbeats, smiles and tears;
not in months and years, or physical
events.
Life is marked off on the
soul by feelings, not by
dates.
When one door
of happiness closes,
another opens;
but often
we look so long at the closed door
that
we do not see the one which has been opened
for us.
Security is mostly an
illusion.
It does not
exist in nature,
nor do the
children of
men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding
danger is no safer in the long run than
outright exposure.
Life is either a
daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Adams Keller, blind and deaf
American author and orator,
Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient

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 site are the views and
opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed
the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational, insightful and unpopular
thought. All factual information presented on this web site is believed to be
true and accurate and is presented as originally presented in print media which
may or may not have originally presented the facts truthfully. Opinion and
thoughts have been adapted, edited, corrected, redacted, combined, added to,
re-edited and re-corrected as nearly all opinion and thought has been
throughout time but has been done so in the spirit of the original writer with
the intent of making his or her thoughts and opinions clearer and relevant to
the reader in the present time.
