"Compassion is the very essence of an open heart
and must be cultivated upon our journey." - Dalai Lama
"Though the ego seeks love
it will still keep its distance from the experience of knowing
true love." - Vincent Cole
"When I speak of
compassion I am not speaking of
some sentimental and weak response. I am speaking of that
force which all of the great
religions have seen as the supreme unifying
principle of life.
Compassion is somehow the key that
unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality.
This Hindu-Moslem-Christian-Jewish-Buddhist belief about ultimate
reality is beautifully
summed up in the first epistle of Saint John:
Let us
love one another; for
love is God and everyone that
loveth is born of
God and knoweth
God. He that
loveth not
knoweth not God; for
God is love. If we
love one another
God dwelleth in us, and his
love is perfected in us.
Let us hope that this
spirit will become the order of the
day."

"Large creatures lavish far
more care upon there young. Longevity requires creatures to interact with their own
species over longer periods of time. Lengthy nurturing periods for the young help
create a complex
pattern of social
behavior that makes altruistic
behavior advantageous.
When
examining particular social interactions in ancient
times, there is a need to avoid assigning contemporary
values of costs and benefits, rather than those appropriate to those in a
primitive hunter-gatherer society.
We have
inherited a liking for sugary and fatty foods - a fact that the food
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 over the young, hunting on behalf of others, and so forth.
Analysis of
optimal behavior patterns leads us to
expect that the tactics of bartering, and of games of
strategy, will be activities for which humans possess a transcultural affinity.
Analysis of
optimal behavior patterns shows how
social interaction - in particular, the repeated
social interaction that derives from longevity and
large size in conditions where individualism did not pay - has
unexpected consequences for the
evolution of patterns of
behavior that appear, at first sight, to run counter to the
expectations of natural selection.
If we made contact
with an extraterrestrial society, we might
expect that it evolved from
patterns of behavior that were
once naturally selected for in preference
to others.
We should not
be surprised, under appropriate circumstances, to find
cooperative, altruistic behavior -
regardless of the existence of
transcendental beliefs in the existence
of absolute standards of good and bad behavior,
which we find at the root of most systems of
religious belief. " -
John D. Barrow
Compassion is the finest
weapon and best defense.
If you
would establish harmony,
Compassion must
surround you like a fortress.
Therefore,
A good soldier does
not inspire fear;
A good warrior does
not display aggression;
A good
conqueror does not engage in battle;
A good ruler does
not exercise authority.
This is the value of
unimportance;
This is how to win the
cooperation of
others;
This to how to
build the same harmony that is
in nature.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new religious
ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification
of reality outside personal experience has created 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 the religion
aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational 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 God 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 Life 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 central banking
system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military entertainment complex of
America 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 mass 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.
