"I say to thee

weapons reach not the Life,
flame burns it not,
waters cannot overwhelm,
nor dry winds wither it.

Impenetrable, unharmed, untouched, immortal,
all-arriving, stable, sure, invisible,
by word and thought ineffable,
ever all itself,
thus is the Soul declared!"

"Yet, the right act is less, far less, than the right thinking mind.

Seek refuge in thy soul; have there thy heaven!

Scorn them that follow virtue for rewards!

The mind of pure devotion casts aside aspirations, passing above them.

Unto pure devotion devote thyself: with perfect meditation comes perfect acts,
and the right hearted rise more certainly because they seek no gain.

Forth from the bands of body, step by step, to highest seats of bliss.

When thy firm soul has shaken off those tangled oracles which ignorantly guide,
then shall it soar to high neglect of what's denied or said, this way or that way, in doctrinal writ.

Troubled no longer by the priestly lore safe shall it live, and sure; steadfastly bent on meditation.

This is Peace! "

"That man alone is wise who keeps the mastery of himself!

If one ponders on objects of the sense, there springs attraction; from attraction grows desire, desire flames to fierce passion, passion breeds recklessness; then the memory, betrayed, lets noble purpose go and saps the mind, till purpose, mind, and man are all undone.

If one deals with objects of the senses not loving and not hating, making them serve his free soul, which rests serenely, such a man comes to tranquillity; and out of that tranquillity shall rise the end of and healing of his worldly pains, since the mind well governed by the soul sets the soul at peace.

The soul of the ungoverned is not his, nor hath he knowledge of himself;
which lacked, how grows serenity? and, wanting that, whence shall he hope for happiness? "

"He that acts in thought of God, detaching end from act, will be content.

The world of sense can no more stain his soul than waters mar the enameled lotus-leaf.

With life, with heart, with mind, nay, with the help of all five senses - letting selfhood go - yogins toil ever towards their soul's release. Such votaries, renouncing fruit of deeds, gain endless peace: the passion bound seeking fruit from works, are fastened down.

Mankind errs here by folly, darkening knowledge.

But, for whom that darkness of the soul is chased by light, (see mystery) splendid and clear shines manifest the Truth as if a Sun of Wisdom sprang to shed its beams of dawn. "

- Krisna, from the Bhagavad-Gita, "the Song of the Divine One", Hindu sacred text

Hindu monists follow Advaita philsosophy which sees each and every power or force as aspects of One Supreme Being like a single beam of light is separated into colors by a prism. One of the most prominent Hindu monists is the saint Ramakrishna whose patron god was Devi, the Mother of all living things.

Although Hinduism is very diverse, one thing that unites all Hindus is the quest for enlightenment, to free oneself from the cycle of rebirth and the concept of Ahimsa, which means "non-violence." Hindus believe that every thing on the Earth is part of the universal spirit, and therefore every thing needs to be respected, preserved and protected.

Contemporary Hinduism, specifically Smartism, consists of a holy trinity comprised of Brahma (the Creator of worlds), Vishnu (the Preserver of worlds) and Shiva (the Destroyer of worlds).

In 1966 the Supreme Court of India defined the Hindu faith to include these ideas; a spirit of tolerance and willingness to understand and appreciate the other's point of view based on the realization that truth is many faceted and a recognition of the fact that the means or ways to salvation are many.

The basic tenets of Hinduism highlight three qualities with which
to groom the physical, mental and intellectual facets of your life.

The most fundamental of the eternal values can be classified into these three disciplines:

Self-control (Brahmacharya) - self-regulation of all physical activities.

Non-injury (Ahimsa) - self-regulation of all mental activities.

Truthfulness (Satyam) - self-regulation of all intellectual activities.

Eight specific things an individual can diligently do to emerge as a content and happy individual:

stand in awe of God

maintain pure and serene motives

avoid all acts that will cause injury

practice straightforwardness in dealing with others

maintain cleanliness of the surrounding environment

speak only to express ideas of permanently truthful values

live a life of self-control with respect to all your sense enjoyments

maintain a relationship of understanding, tolerance and love towards all

chakra

Chakra literally "wheels of spinning energy", has been used as a way to understand human emotion and energy for over 4,000 years. Within the human body there are seven major energy centers named the chakra located within the body in front of the spinal column, aligned vertically up and down the spine.

The lowest chakra, the root chakra residing at the base of the spine, controls issues of the flesh's survival.

The second chakra, above the pubic bone, controls emotion and sexuality.

The third chakra, solar plexius, controls identity and interpersonal relationships.

The fourth chakra is the heart chakra. Three chakras below heart ... and three above. The chakras below the heart govern earthly aspects of our being while the chakras above the heart govern spiritual aspects of our being. Heart chakra is exactly in the center, the bridge that connects earthly aspect with the divine aspect.

The fifth chaka, the throat chakra, controls thought forms, internal dialogues, verbal and non verbal expression - communication in general.

The sixth chakra, the third eye chakra above and between the eyes, controls intuition, vision, an ability to understand situations precisely and the ability to understand an individual's emotional state through empathy.

The seventh chakra, the crown chakra, controls awarenes, higher consciousness and allows a master to plumb subconscious depths consciously leading to complete empathy with and understanding of reality - Christ Consciousness.

kundalini

Kundalini gurus help initiates release "the serpent power" to balance the "root chakra" which resides at the base of the spine. The release of "the serpent power" through an awakening process involves bodily manifestations as a consequence of the "awakening of an individual's Kundalini.'' The awakening brings up memories of past trauma releasing a powerful energy source lying dormant in the form of a coiled serpent at the base of the spine.

When freed and properly channeled "the serpent power" reputedly has the capacity to effect great physical healing.

Initiates undergoing a Kundalini awakening process often find it difficult to control their behavior; during power rushes of Kundalini energy, initiates often emit various involuntary sounds, and their bodies move in strange and unexpected patterns. Among the most common physical manifestations - unmotivated and unnatural laughter or crying, talking in unknown indecipherable tongues and making a variety of animal sounds and movements.

Western clinical psychologists might define these strange physical manifestations as a release of pent up tension or repressed sexual urges.

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.
