"I did not see you descending, but
now I see you ascending." - Gospel of Mary
Avatars descend from Heaven
Watch your step !
The stairs are steep and
slippery !
"There is no hell,
no
inferno
except the
frenzy of living."
Henri Barbusse
"The clinically depressed are less susceptible to
basic cognitive errors.
The clinically depressed recognize the
illusion." - Daniel Gilbert
Typically depression has
two facets: a physical element tied to
inflamation
which may be due to diet, injury or toxins and a spiritual element.
Many
times when lost in depression the psychospiritual aspects keep an individual
from taking the proper steps to heal the actual physical damage.
Each
individual develops a worldview over the course of their lifetime.
We
may fall into psychospiritual depression when
expectations of reality clash with
the actual facts of one's place
in the overall scheme of things.
The inability to recognize
one's place involves an inability to accept
life as it is and a failure of imagination tied to
agency - a desire to control
events.
Psychospiritual depression may serve as an important
catalyst in a larger living process, an
opportunity to deepen, empty,
and open one's heart.
From
a pragmatic materialistic
viewpoint depression is the nemesis of
happiness indicating a fundamental
failure in living life properly.
Regardless of our attitude nothing
we work for lasts as nothing can free us from the drudgery of living and change
is eternal.
People, trapped in the endless task of securing what they believe
will make them happy, find in the long run the
end of everything they
cherish.
People have a hard time releasing the belief that the only
way to be happy is to
have life work out according to unrealistic expectations.
The
epidemic of demoralization afflicting modern culture shares symptoms with
depression but demoralization tends to
be mislabelled and mistreated.
True liberation means a
surrender of unattainable, unrealistic and egotistical desires rather than a
victory over situations and conditions.
True surrender, shifting from
cognitive dominance to submission,
allows one the freedom to immerse
oneself in the eternal
moment of the joy of
living.
In the Awakened Heart,
peace and
contentment
interrupt the
assumption that we must escape
or change our present situation to become whole.
Emotional pain provides
motivation for
psychospiritual rebirth from
culturally conditioned
expectations allowing the living
of life based on truth.
"Loss
of heart arises from a basic sense of grief and defeat.
Specific
losses may be involved: loss of a loved
one, a career, cherished
illusions, material possessions, or
self-esteem.
Or there may be a more global sense of defeat carried over from
childhood.
In either case, the depressed person feels a sense of
powerlessness and
loss of control." - John
Wellwood

A new
study debunks the flawed original study that concluded that a single gene
determined risk of depression in response to
a divorce, a lost job or another serious life reversal.
The
original study claimed people with a particular variant of a gene involved in
the regulation of
serotonin were most likely to sink into depression after a stressful event
- job loss, sexual abuse,
bankruptcy.
The
variant of the same gene, orginally claimed to be more resilient, was found to
be no different.

Emotions give us important information
about ourselves in nature.
Those needed insights teach
us how to master the zigs and zags of life.
Despair is directly related to a set
of immediate survival needs.
People can instinctively feel whether things
are getting better or worse.
Cultures in which things are slowly
getting better have content populations.
Military culture leaves scattered bodies
and despairing souls in its wake.
Despair is closely linked to
the bliss of
ignorarrogance.
One
day blissfully ensconced in ignorarrogance, the next deep in despair.
Wide eyed observation
grounds the observer in reality - not
abstraction.
Accepting
reality:
Nature is what
she is and she must be accepted unconditionally for survival.
Social culture rules of
conduct of individual sub-cultures must be observed.
The
evolutionary nature of culture informs us that
acceptance of current
social cultural reality is not equivalent to acquiescence.
Contentment may be found hiding behind the
Veil of Cognitive
Blindness.
"History was finite and
contained within comprehensible limits.
It began with Creation and was
scheduled to end with the Second Coming, which was the hope of afflicted
mankind, followed by the Day of Judgment.
Within that span, man was not
subject to social or moral progress as the
ceaseless struggle was
for the culmination, not betterment
in this.
Betterment only came in the
final union with God." - Barbara
W. Tuchman, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th
Century
Familiarity with eternity as revealed in the physical
universe keeps a man sane and sober safeguarding him against a sitting addict
half-truths.
The imaginations of
artificial indoor lives are prone
to flights of fantasy.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints teaches this is the last days.
Wars, pestilence, economic
despair, natural disasters and a finally a great
earthquake will signal the
end times.
"Think of the obsession of the 'end of the world', as if
the formation of reality over an eternity could end on the striking of a
clock." - John Burroughs
Eternal Damnation (from
Latin damnatio) is the concept of never ending physical torture and psychic
torment in an eternal life in death for actions committed while physically
alive contrary to the presumed
Will of God.
Osiris returns
to Earth on the Day of
Awakening, resurrects every
human being that lived by the Golden
Rule and causes all sorrow
and suffering to pass away forever in Heliopolitan eschatology.
In the Heliopolitan
Egyptian religious tradition, citizens would recite the 42 negative
confessions of Maat as their heart was weighed against the Feather of Truth.
If the citizen's heart was heavier than a feather they would face
torment in a Lake of Fire.
The concept
of a Last Judgment originated in Persia under Zoroaster.
Zoroastrianism developed an
eschatological concept of a
Last Judgment called
Frashokereti where the dead are raised, the righteous wade though a river of
milk and the wicked burn in a
river of molten metal.
Zoroastrians
believe "at the end of thy tenth
hundredth winter the sun is more unseen and more spotted;
the year, month, and day are
shorter; and the earth is
more barren; and the crop will
not yield the seed; and
men become more
deceitful, more given to
vile practices and they will have no
gratitude.
A dark cloud makes the whole
sky night."
Zoroastrians also believe
an end time battle will occur
between the righteous and wicked.
Sinners who repent will be punished but
then forgiven.
The world will reach
perfection as
poverty,
old age,
disease,
thirst,
hunger, and
death cease.
Evil and
the spirit of evil will
cease to exist, dualism will end
and goodness will prevail..
In Greek mythology Kharon,
the ferryman of Hades, ferries
the souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that
divides the world of the living from the world of the dead.
The
Hellenistic dead must lie for all eternity on the cold stone floor.
Abrahamic religions have
similar concepts of believers facing judgement on a last day to determine if
they will spend eternity in Gehenna or
Paradise.
A
human "in damnation" is
said to be literally living in a state of Hell - a
state of spiritual corruption
emotionally divorced from the Creator.
Eternal Condemnation is closely related to
Eternal Damnation but implied
within the concept itself is the fact that this Eternal Condemnation may not
come from a deity that chooses to reside
outside reality and yet effect reality.
If you find yourself
repeatedly condemning yourself for actions taken or untaken then you have moved
into the realm of eternal
self-condemnation.
Eternal self-condemnation is
getting stuck in a hindsight
bias loop .
Hindsight bias is the
inclination, after an event has occurred, to see the event as having been
predictable, despite little or no
objective basis for prediction.
What ensues is a feeling
the universe is
deterministic, a loss of
the exercise of free will and
a breaking of the
spirit - a Last
Judgement.

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 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.
