Life is short and
pleasures of the
flesh beckon.
Avoiding pleasures of the flesh is impossible as
pleasured flesh is a requirement of continued existence -
we need to eat to
survive.
If we
don't enjoy what we are eating we can't digest it.
If we are unable to digest and
absorb nutrients we die.
Natural desires are 'calls' to
perform natural duties as a human animal.
Hedonism needs to be
understood for what she is.
Hedonism can never be
allowed free reign for if she is not kept securely
contained she can entirely absorb individual consciousness.
And yet
Hedonism cannot be bound and
chained.
Hedonism must be allowed to free range
on sunny days but
she must be securely locked up
on dark stormy nights.
How are we rewarded for keeping Hedonism is
check?
- hedonic
thermostat resist
- freedom from the trap of
obsession
- liberation from the paradox of
hedonism
- no turned ankles
on a wet winding path strewn with rocks
As flesh cannot be pleased
what does that leave?
Nobility,
true honor and
duty.
The societies of man
scream for the elevation of the individual but fall short in teaching the one
and only true way that one may be elevated.
Power over others,
accumulation of wealth or the
attainment of
celebrity is generally accepted by
MICE culture as the badge of
success.
The only true way to be truly elevated is to hold firm in
treating each individual with respect
and dignity regardless of
social
position.
Nobility
is exercised when one embarks upon a course beneficial for all.
Honor is exercised when one travels a course beneficial
for all.
Duty is exercised
by staying the course.
"Love for me had taken on the
form and the being of my little Josette.
We had met long before, in
the rear of the millinery shop in which she worked at Tours.
She had
smiled at me with singular persistence, and I caught her head in my hands,
kissed her on the lips - and found out suddenly that I loved her.
I no longer recall
the strange bliss we felt when, we first embraced.
It is true,
there are moments when I still desire her as madly as the first time.
This is so especially when she is away.
When she is with me,
there are moments when she repels me.
I
dreamed of an unheard of idyll with a woman far from the one with whom I had
hitherto spent my time, a woman
whose features I did not see, but whose shadow I imagined beside my own as
we walked along the road
together.
Bracelets, necklaces, rings.
The sparkling of the jewels made me feel
far away from them as do the stars.
A young girl looked at me with
vague blue eyes.
What could I do against that kind of
sapphire?
I watched her bosom rising and falling, and her motionless
face, and the living book that was merged with her.
Her complexion was
so brilliant that her mouth seemed almost dark.
Her beauty saddened me.
I looked at this unknown woman with sublime regret.
She
caressed me by her presence.
A woman always caresses a man when she
comes near him and they are alone.
In spite of all sorts of separation,
there is always an awful beginning of happiness between them." - Henri

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 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 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.
