Natural Law is the
rational pattern ordering
Creation.
Natural Law is
universally knowable through the
observation of nature.
Natural Law grounds
all human beings in
innate common human
traits.
Over a lifetime
a human being develops a core of true
knowledge.
Natural Law is
universally binding within nature.
Moral behavior enhances the lives of
everyone it touches.
Moral
individuals grasp their role in reality and act freely.
Moral truth is dependent on
the recognition of practical
wisdom.
Human beings
enjoy a warm cozy dry shelter on
a rainy windy dark night.
Human beings desire to live freely in
a clean natural environment.
Moral human beings recognize
dignity,
honor and
integrity toward all life; apply
justice,
virtue and
wisdom; enjoy
friendship,
procreation and
aesthetic experience; and pray for
inner peace,
contentment and
health.
Moral rightness recognizes
each life is to be cherished as that unique indivdual life can never be
replaced - !! FIRST NO HARM
!!
The ancients did not seek to rule
men with knowledge,
But to
support them in becoming
natural.
It is difficult for knowledgeable men to
be natural;
So to use law to control a nation
weakens the nation,
But
to use nature to control
a nation strengthens the nation.
Understanding these two paths is
understanding subtlety;
Subtlety runs deep, ranges wide,
Resolves
confusion and preserves peace.
Lao Tzu
Through the language of natural
philosophy, and through the Pythagorean approach to whole systems, it is
possible to relate the temporal with the eternal and to know the organic
relation between multiplicity and unity.
If scientific spirit is seen as
a desire to study the universe in total, it will be seen that both approaches
are complementary and necessary in scientific inquiry as an inclusive cosmology
must equally deal with the part or the whole.
Kepler, Copernicus,
Newton, Einstein and those before and after - were able to combine both
approaches in a valuable and fruitful way.
It is interesting that the
split between science and philosophy coincides roughly with the industrial
revolution - for once freed from the philosophical element, which anchors
scientific inquiry to the whole of life and human values, science ceases to be
science in a traditional sense, and is transformed into a servile nursemaid of
technology, the development and employment of mechanization.
Machines are
useful when subservient to human good; the industrial revolution coincided with
a mechanistic conceptualization of the natural order, which sought to increase
material profit at the expense of the human spirit.
This era which gave
rise to the nightmare of the modern factory gained its strength through the
naive premise that the human spirit might be elevated and perfected through the
agency of the machine.
Science has nearly become confused with and
subservient to technology, and it might be said that the ideal of a universal
or inclusive science has been lost.
This is because the ideal scientist
is also a natural philosopher who is interested in relating his discoveries to
a larger universal framework.
Those who study universal principles as
principles-in-themselves, often find that these principles have many
applications in a wide variety of fields.
Pythagoras would have been in
an excellent position to foresee the negative consequences: ecological
imbalance, materialism, the varied effects of personal greed, the
disintegration of human values, the decline of the arts, a lack of interest in
personal excellence and achievement.
These problems result from a lack
of balance and an ability to see the parts in relation to the whole.
As
the poet Francis Thompson said, "You cannot move a flower without troubling a
star," and so it is with every individual and collective action.

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.
