Neither Lord Nor Subject

Master Confucious said:

"A heart set in compassion will do no evil."

"The people may be made to follow:

they cannot be made to understand."

"Who can go out except by the Door?

Why is it no one keeps to the Way?"

"The wise are free from doubt;
compassion is never vexed;
the bold have no fears."

"Gentlemen cherish virtue;

the vulgar cherish corruption.

Gentlemen trust in justice;

the vulgar trust in favor.

Gentlemen consider what is right;

the vulgar consider what will pay.

Make faithfulness and truth master

and chose friends very carefully.

Fondness of daring,

inflamed by poverty,

leads to crime as a

man denied compassion,

when ill-treated,

will turn to crime.

The smartest move is to hold

fast to the Rule of Reciprocity."

Confucius (551-479 B.C.), also called Kong Zi, or Master Kong, looked to the early days of Zhou rule for an ideal social and political order.

He believed that the only way such a system could be made to work properly was for each individual to act according to prescribed relationships.

"Let the ruler be a ruler and the subject a subject," he said, but he added that to rule properly a king must be virtuous.

The Way

There is a mystery,

beneath abstraction,

silent, infinite,

alone, unchanging,

ubiquitous and liquid, eternal,

Sustainer of Nature.

Indescribability has no name,

therefore indescribability is the Way.

Subtlety, having no limit, is limitless.

Being limitless, subtlety flows away forever,

flowing away forever, the sublime returns to the Source.

The Way is unfathomable,

as Nature is immeasurable,

as the Noumenon is uncalculable,

as I am inexhaustible.

The Way is a bottomless vessel,

used by Self to be filled with the Cosmos.

Divinity cannot be cut, knotted, dimmed or stilled,

homoousion depths are hidden, ubiquitous and eternal.

Looked at, cannot be seen,

ineffablity is apart from form.

Listened to, cannot be heard,

incommunicablity is below sound.

Grasped for, cannot be touched,

inexpressiblity is beneath expression.

This infinite thing, evading definition,

an incomprehensible mystery.

In ascension there is no light.

In decension there is no darkness.

A continuous thread beyond description,

its form formless, its image a void,

its name deep silence,

follow appeal, allure is intangible,

meet attraction, charm has no depth.

Æon nurtures all things,

though Æon does not control them.

Sophia seems inconsequential,

as Sophia has no easily discernable intention.

The Pleroma is the foundation of all things;

but the Pleroma does not control them.

Unity has no exception,

so Unity seems infinitely important.

Attempt to possess Union, you will lose Union.

The motion of the Way is return.

The spiraling essence of the Way is acceptance.

The Way, shaped with intention, has always been.

Empty Ego completely.

Embrace perfect peace.

Symbiosis is the flow of nature,

eternal decay and renewal.

Plinths will rise and fall.

Monuments will crumble into dust.

This return is peaceful.

Out of the One came Two,

out of the Two came Three,

and out of the Three came all Things.

Accepting this brings enlightenment,

ignoring this brings perpetual misery.

Accepting the flow of nature One becomes all-cherishing.

Being natural, One flows with the Way.

Flowing with the Way, One becomes immortal,

though the body will decay, the Way will not.

Embrace the Way, become enwrapped,

breath gently, become reborn,

clearing the mind, become luminous,

open the heart, acquiesce,

accepting apperception, embrace the Way.

The Way is without form or quality,

but expresses all forms and qualities.

The Way, hidden and implicate, expresses the Noumenon.

The Way bears all things, harmony nurtures them,

nature shapes them, impermanence completes them.

Harmony is found in following the Way.

Each in following the Way honors harmony,

not by obedience, but by being.

The Way takes no action,

but leaves nothing undone.

The Way flows and ebbs,

creating and destroying,

implementing the amalgamation,

attending to the tiniest details,

taking nothing in return.

Accept the Way,

the Earth will flourish,

in harmony with Nature.

Experience is a riverbed,

its Source hidden, forever flowing,

like the Way it moves with continuity,

draw upon its vitality, continuums do not run dry.

Attend to the present to deal with the past,

thus grasping the continuity of the Way,

which is the essence of apperception.

Following a garden path is easy,

yet people delight in difficult paths.

With but a small understanding

one may follow the Way like a garden path,

only leaving it when stumbling over obstacles.

When palaces are kept up

fields are left to weeds

and granaries empty.

Wearing fine clothes,

bearing sharp swords,

glutting with food and drink,

hoarding wealth and possessions,

the ways of theft and Herculean tasks,

are far from the Way.

The Way is the fate of men,

the treasure of the Saint,

and the refuge of the Sinner.

Fine words are often borrowed,

and great deeds are often appropriated;

therefore, when a man falls, do not abandon him,

and when a man gains power, do not honor him,

only remain impartial and show him the Way.

Why should anyone appreciate the Way?

The ancients prophesized,

"Through Gnosis those who seek may easily find,

and those who regret may easily absolve."

Thus is the Way a most precious gift.

Four Rules for Living

"For I have kept the ways of the Lord ..." - Psalm 18:21

"No man can effectively illuminate the Way for all men.

There is more than one Way, a great number of paths.

All these men who can serve as beacons are needed."

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 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 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.
