fear is learned

"An individual story of compassion is not important

- what is important is that one is capable of compassion.

It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity."

Helen Hayes



teach compassion

be kind



Compassion must be cultivated upon the journey through life or it withers.

The essence of an Awakened Heart compassion is not a sentimental response.

All great religions use compassion as the supreme unifying principle of life.

Compassion is the key that unlocks the door which leads to the Noumenon.

The catalyst of all coöperation is the neurochemical oxytocin which bonds human beings and eases the natural suspicion of alien culture.

Oxytocin unlocks the boundaries allowing mirror neurons to fire in sinc.

When people act compassionately toward each other oxytocin is released.



compassion is defined as:

altruistic behavior;

a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection

based upon an underlying sense of oneness




compassion is infinite



Compassion expands individual boundaries.


Fear of death is implicit in objectivist science.


Compassion breaches the fortress of separation




Caring Human in Danger of Extinction



Large creatures lavish far more care upon their young.

Long lived creatures interact with their own species over longer periods.

Lengthy nurturing periods for the young helps created a pattern of social behavior that makes altruistic behavior advantageous in small groups.

When examining particular social interactions in ancient times there is a need to assign values appropriate to a primitive hunter-gatherer society.

We inherited a like for sugary and fatty foods - a behavior that the 'food processing' industry and its advertising agencies remorselessly exploit.

Our instinctive liking for such foods is probably a remnant of the huge calorific benefit of these scarce resources for early hunter-gatherers.

Analysis of optimal behavior patterns applies to sharing food, exchanging services, exercising care for youth, hunting on behalf of others, and so forth.

Analysis of behavior patterns reveals tactics of bartering, and games of strategy, will be activities for which humans possess a transcultural affinity.

When making contact with any culture alien to ours we assume it evolved from patterns of behavior naturally selected for in preference to others.

We should not be surprised, under nearly every circumstances, to find cooperative, altruistic behavior at the root of most systems of religious belief




Tibetan compassion madala

Tibetan Book of the Dead


Compassion is the finest weapon and best defense.

If you would establish harmony,

Compassion must surround you like a fortress.

Therefore,

A superb soldier does not inspire fear;

An admirable warrior does not display aggression;

An exceptional conqueror does not engage in battle;

A benevolent ruler does not exercise authority.

This is the value of unimportance;

This is how to win the coöperation of others;

This is weaving the harmony found throughout Nature.

Lao Tze




Love is a Rose

love over hate

Six Ancient Greek Words for Love



What is compassion is infinite?

Adoration is possessive.

Compassion is encompassing.

Awe is epiphany.

Agápe is Ikigai.


Athbhreith Athbheochan





Love Is My Religion

This is love



Ancient Greek has four distinct words for 'love':

Agápe, Éros, Storge and Philía.

Agápe is unconditional compassion for all existence.

Éros is passionate 'love' or lust - the sensual erotic desire of sexual possession of the body of another.

Storge is familial loyalty.

Philía is loyalty displayed through affection over time.

Philía has four children: two sets of twins ~ !

Two forms of inwardly expressed "love" in Philía suggest two forms of outwardly expressed "love" in Philía.

Feelings vacillate. One can be enamored with self.

One can be enamored and awed by another.

One can care about oneself or one can hate oneself.

One can care about another or one can hate another.

Narcissists gaze longing into the pool only seeing mask they wear, never seeing their true countenance reflected.

Standing on a thinly veiled fear of death, skating on the thin ice of not-life, waiting to fall down a rabbit hole.

Outwardly expressed projection of Philía by a narcissist may appear genuine but a narcissist wears a mask.

Philía's evil twin, living on the other side of the mirror, then rears her ugly head and strikes like a Cobra!

The rule of recoprocity does not apply to the Chosen !



It Must Have Been Love



The Greeks recognized two forms of self-love in Philía.

In its negative form philautia is the selfishness with wants of pleasure, fame, and wealth beyond natural needs.

In its positive form philautia is feeling secure in oneself leaving plenty of empathy for validation of others.

These 2 questions found hard evidence of love


All You Need Is Love



Agápe is the movement of the Holy Spirit.

Agápe is manifested in three actions:

In romantic affection, the psyche moves toward the object of its erotic affections in the hope of merging.

In philosophical contemplation, the mind contemplates the reality of nature through the exercise of reason.

In mystical transformation, the Eternal Soul Walking the Thinspace desires infinite Union with the Soul of Æon.

Confused Christians believe Agápe entails self-sacrifice.

Agápe requires self-sacrifice, not as commonly perceived.

Agápe requires self-sacrifice of ego, a release of agency.

Agápe of the Creator and Sustainer is seen in Creation.

Heart Of Gold


The Golden Rule,

or Rule of Reciprocity

found in the scriptures of every religion,

is regarded as the most concise

and general description of the

basic human rules of conduct.



"The task of industrial society was to destroy reciprocity.

All "community" implies - self-sufficiency, mutual aid, fair trade, stubborn tradition, regulation by custom, organic knowledge instead of mechanistic science - had to be steadily and systematically disrupted and displaced.

All of the practices that kept the individual from being a consumer had to be done away with so that the cogs and wheels of an unfettered machine called "the economy" could operate without interference, influenced merely by invisible hands." - Kirkpatrick Sale


"This call for world-wide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond one's tribe, race, class and nation is a call for all-embracing unconditional compassion for all men.

This oft misunderstood and misinterpreted concept has become an absolute necessity for the survival of man.

Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter - but beautiful - struggle for a new symbiotic reality.

This is the calling of the sons of God, and our brothers wait eagerly for our response. " - Martin Luther King Jr.



CHARTER FOR COMPASSION

THE CHARTER FOR COMPASSION



Natural selection pushes in the direction of true selflessness.

With the emergence of reciprocity humans learned to trade favors.

A favor-giver avoids blatant cheaters preferring generous reciprocators.

A competition arises between actors wanting to appear to be generous.

At this time a reputation for fairness and generosity becomes an asset.

The most effective way to appear generous and fair, is to be so.

The genuinely generous partners are weaned from the hypocrites.

Some agents evolve to be genuinely high-minded - they become activists.

cause no harm !





Built To Be Kind

Are You A Highly Sensitive Person?


river of kindness

I thank You God for most this amazing day:

for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and

a blue true dream of sky and

for everything which is natural, infinite, yes

I who have died am alive again today,

and this is the sun's birthday,

the birthday of life, of love on wings,

of the gay great happening, illimitably earth

how should tasting touching hearing seeing breathing

lifted from a merely unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and

now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

AXIAL AGE THOUGHT

The Significance of the Axial Age

Ways to Raise Kind Children



Lao Tze, a contemporary of Confucius, writes in the 6th century BC.

Siddhartha Gautama teaches at the dawn of the 5th century BC.

Socrates perfected instructions to his students as the 4th century closed.

Jesus the Tekton died for sharing proprietary knowledge imparted by the Therapeutae and Philo the Pythagorean thus upsetting the social order.

Freed of the unnatural desire of controlling reality we find sacred peace.

The "Axial Age" is the fulcrum of cultural awakening from mythological consciousness into rational consciousness for humanity on a whole.

Axial Age sages experiencing integral consciousness recognized tempering brute selfish rationality in Gesellschaft culture required the participants to abide by the Rule of Reciprocity which worked in tight knit social groups.

The ancient call of empathy abandons selfishness and embraces compassion.

Compassion is hollow of value as an abstract concept.



Be kind to others, take a good look around. Although we are different, similarities abound. Try not to judge, pick on, or tease. Treat each other fairly, with kindness and ease.

Compassion must be lived to have any value!

Sharing monkeys suggest amygdala affects kindness



Literalist movements are concerned with promoting doctrine out of context and work endlessly to sheild religious dogma from the light of reason.

Institutionalized religion keeps the concentration on compassion safely within the approved understanding of the chosen circle of believers.

Muhammad ibn 'Abdullāh, operating in integral consciousness, wanting to craft a humanity that understood integral consciousness sung a song.

In the Garden of Nirvana where integral consciousness reigns emotional suffering ceases and compassionate behavior dethrones the stifling ego.

Cultural traditions are seen as the Masquerade they are by True Prophets.

True prophets understand that respect for Life brings you into the Presence.





Ekstasis, or ecstasy, in Greek means "stepping outside."

Anyone can step into integral consciousness by "stepping outside" rational thought patterns by recognizing the limitations of rational dissociation.

Integral consciousness - outside the prison of primitive emotion supporting egotism, selfishness, greed and envy - is not an exotic state of consciousness.

To do so simply requires the sacrifice of preconcieved notions.

The way to end hostility is to learn to think and practice the Golden Rule.



give with no expectations


We return thanks to our Mother,

the Earth, which sustains us.


We return thanks to the rivers and streams,

which supply us with water.


We return thanks to all herbs,

which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.


We return thanks to the moon and stars,

which give us light when the sun was gone down.


We return thanks to the Sun,

that has looked upon the Earth with a beneficent eye.


Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,

in Whom is embodied all goodness,

Who directs all things for the good of Her children.

The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion 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 pers∞nal relati∞n with the Æon through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate ¢rime."

This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence.

Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards 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 p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior c☢rp☢rate media psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns.
