Branches of Mystery Schools all
sprang from the same philosophical trunk of
Gnosis growing from the Heart of Earth
climbing to the Heavens.
Each branch of the
Mystery Schools
channeled a slightly
different hue, shade and tone of the Rainbow Spiral to pierce the
Veil of Cognitive
Blindness.
Initiates, resplendent with
divine spiritual
understanding, became the intellectual fruit bearing
witness before the material world of the recondite source of
Light and
Truth.
The
Mystery Schools taught that if man did not
become Enlightened during his
sojourn on Earth he would be destined
to lie on the floor of Hades.
To become
Enlightened meant to be
freed from Earthly desire.
A man, gazing in
Mirror of Nature, that fails to see he is
truly senseless clay, loses the
opportunity by Life to unfold his
immortal, invisible Self.
The Soul, a Living
Spirit, animates
flesh but most people are not ruled by their Living Soul but by the
Dead Matter Clay of the Flesh.
A Mystic carries
two torches, reason and
intuition.
A
Mystic is taught to
Ascend from the darkness to be
eternally freed from the
shackles of Crystallized Thought.
Initiation lasts 9 days, each day
symbolizing a month in the
womb.
Each day the Eternal Soul
descends materially while ascending
spiritually.
The candidate must pass through two gates.
The first
leads downward into a dark dank room symbolizing
man's birth into ignorance.
The second leads upward into
a brightly glowing pulsating
room symbolizing man's Awakening.
The Creator and Sustainer, being
a luminous principle, residing in the
midst of the most subtle fire, remains forever invisible to those who do not
ascend.
The initiation
ceremony will be closed with the
Sanskrit words "adeep
vitarka" (Emanating Light of Creator and Sustainer's Discernment).
The
Mysteries teach an individual how to live.
The Mysteries teach an
individual how to pass beyond with dignity.
"What is the nature of this invisible thing called light whose
presence calls everything into existence except itself?
Light has been
treated scientifically by physicists,
metaphorically by
religious thinkers and practically by artists
and technicians.
Each gives voice to a part of the
experience of light.
Heard together they craft a full image of
light - all speak of one thing whose nature has been the
object of human attention and
veneration for millennia.
Now we are
certain of the entanglement of
nature and the human
mind.
Transformations have allowed
profound insights into nature.
These form a sequence, not of disjointed fragments, but a whole that
unfolds in time, a
series of awakenings that reflect inner growth.
Heraclitus was right: "It is in changing that things find repose."
Scientific and
intuitive knowledge of
light have reflected
the continual
metamorphosis of our inward instruments of knowing.
Through
research, artistic practices and
quiet contemplation, light's
elusive being constantly re-creates itself in
the mind's eye, offering fresh
epiphanies.
The very existence of that transformation suggests the
possibility of further
evolution,
individually and
culturally, and the
possibility of
re-linking the moral and
sensual, the physical and
spiritual, in a unified
imagination.
Every manifestation of light is a potentially
occasion for grasping the truth of
light, be it the dappled disks
of light beneath the shade of a tree or
the moonbeam that
furtively makes its way through a chink in
the wall.
Each instance offers an occasion for
enlightenment, for
seeing the light.
Light is a metaphor for seeing
the invisible in the visible,
for detecting the fragile garment that holds Earth and
all existence together." - Arthur
Zajonc

"Our eyes have evolved as light
receptors by an adaptive process that responds to the nature of light.
Their structure tells us things about the true nature of light.
There is no room for a view that all our knowledge of light is nothing
more than a mental creation.
The fact that we possess eyes bears
witness' to the reality of that something we call light." -
John D. Barrow
"Light
from anywhere in the universe
travels through space at 186,000 miles per second.
Photons enter the
eye/brain/mind configuration as stream-bursts of photons via the retinal
process, which amplifies photon energy a million times.
Every waking
moment visible light flows into your eyes, intiating a magnificent process
which entails light oscillating through
swirls of
multitudinous neural fibers, passing through
a refraction process involving millions of
microscopic rods and cones located at the back of the eyeball, which
produce electro-chemical
currents that surge through the optic nerve and into the thalamus, then the
visual cortex,
mysteriously creating the
marvelous process we experience as
sight.
The entire
edifice of how we perceive reality is intimately reliant on the retina's
reception of light waves, photons radiating from the
sun.
Sunlight is streams of photons, "particles" of light with zero
"mass."
Photons, radiant electromagnetic energy, bind electrons to
orbits of atoms.
Atoms, of which
the entire phenomenal world is made, are
born in the astronomically immense
upheaval of super nova explosions which occur every second across the
universe of one hundred billion galaxies, with each explosion producing a
luminosity one billion times that of our sun.
We consist of such furiously made
"stardust" and "starlight."
We are, in essence,
beings of light born from
solar fury. "- Lew
Paz
"This is the message we heard from Jesus and now
declare to you:
God is light, and there is
no darkness in him at all." - 1 John
1:5"A true seeker must transcend those joys and
delights that are just the ray and reflection of the glory of God.
He
must not let himself grow content with such things, even though they are of
God, come from God's grace, and are of the radiance of God's
beauty.
These are not eternal unless
in reference to God.
Think of the rays of the sun
shining down onto the soil.
The rays of light are attached to the
sun and not the soil.
When the sun sets, the ray's light does not remain.
Become the Sun itself to
end the fear of separation." -
Rumi
In Zoroastrianism the
principle fight is between Ahura Mazda,
the light of order, and Angra
Mainyu, the darkness of chaos.
Religious mythweavers use
concepts that will be widely understood.
This tradition is
ensconced in Christianity
as the fight between the dark
force of evil and the
light force of good.
Little children are afraid of the dark.
Little children are afraid of the dark because they can not see.
Little children understand that the ability to see is advantageous to
their ability to navigate.
Fear of the dark is justifiable.
But little children in the
East can sleep without a light as they sleep together whereas
children in the West need a candle to
chase away the demons.
This trait is carried into adulthood with
future effects directly proportional to
degree of fear and trauma
experienced initially in childhood.
'Dark' thoughts are seen by a man's soul as
detrimental to living whereas 'light'
thoughts are seen as spiritually uplifting.
"When I have a terrible need of
- shall I say
the word - religion.
Then I go out and paint the stars."
Vincent Van
Gogh
Angular momentum of the photon may also be a
half-integer of Planck's constant.
To
entangle two electrons
that had never met over great distances, two photons, each correlated with a
unique source electron, had to be sent through fiber optic cables to meet in
the middle at a "beam splitter" and interact.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which
to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the
falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged 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 a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery 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 the Creator and Sustainer 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 the
Lumière Infinie 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
economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military
entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the
elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation 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 corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which
have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate 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.
