"Meditate profoundly, that
secret things unseen may
be revealed unto you, that you may
inhale the sweetness of a
spiritual imperishable fragrance.
The Almighty hath tried
His servants, so
light may be discerned from darkness,
truth from
falsehood,
right from wrong,
guidance from error,
happiness from
misery, and
roses from thorns." -
Bahá'u'lláh
"At
the beginning of your meditation you should say to yourself:
'I will not allow my mind to be
distracted by anticipation of
the future nor will I let my mind
stray toward memories of the past.
I will remain
focused on
this present moment.'
Once cultivated take the space between as
the object of meditation -
simply maintain awareness,
free of conceptual imagery." - Tenzin
Gyatso
"The beginning
of meditation is self-knowledge.
This
means being aware of
every movement of thought and
feeling.
Knowing all the layers of
my consciousness.
Not only the
superficial layers but the
hidden, the deeply concealed
activities.
To know hidden motives,
responses,
thoughts and
feelings, there must be
tranquility in the conscious mind; that is
the conscious mind must be
still in order to receive the
projection of the
subconscious." - J. Krishnamurti
"The meditation process allows
for a transformation of
the self-focused state of mind which
seeks to satisfy desire and
avoid discomforts.
In the meditative process
we gain control over stimulation of the mind
and guide it in a more virtuous direction away
from its self-centered
path.
Meditation diminishes the force
of old thought habits and develops new ones.
We thereby protect
ourselves from engaging in actions of mind,
word, or deed that lead to our
suffering." - Tenzin
Gyatso
"Sitting around
doing nothing goes against our cultural programming.
Some people
feel during empty moments or deliberate
experiments at meditation: a churning unease that says, "I should be doing
something."
This cultural compulsion is so strong that even spiritual
practices such as meditation and prayer are easily converted into just another
chore.
The first step to
freedom is simply to allow yourself to fully feel.
This is where
the true benefit of meditation lies." -
Charles
Eisenstein
meditation is defined as:reflection
cultivate consciousness
calm lengthy intent
contemplation
turning inward
seeking enlightenment
freeing the consciousness
stream by giving up agency
No one, regardless of
hydration, can survive more than 5 days without water.
At atmospheric
pressure, air contains 21 percent oxygen.
We die of anoxia when that
concentration drops past 11 percent.
Too much oxygen kills gradually,
causing inflammation of the lungs.
We pass out when the pressure drops
below 57 percent of atmospheric pressure — equivalent to that at an
altitude of 15,000 feet (4,572 meters).
Acclimate climbers gradually
adapt to the drop in oxygen, but no one survives long without an oxygen tank
above 26,000 feet (7925 m).
People can live indefinitely in a range
between 40° F and 95° F, if the latter temperature occurs at no more
than 50% relative humidity.
Normal body temperature is 98.6°
Fahrenheit.
Mild hypothermia sets at 95°, amnesia at 91°, loss
of consciousness at 82°.
Anything below 70° and you're at
death's door.
The highest temperature at which the human body can
sustain life is 108° Fahrenheit for a very brief period as essential bodily
proteins die at 105°.
Self-knowledge is
critical for survival.
When you
cannot do anything the meditation flowers.
To go inwards looks like
entering chaos.
And it is so;
inside you have forged a
chaos.
You have to
encounter it and go through it.
Allow yourself to see yourself as
you truly are.
Courage is
required to take the inward
journey and face the abyss.
There
is no greater
courage than to be
meditative.
In haste nobody can come to
know himself.
Infinite patience is
needed to transform the
darkness.
Over
time there comes a light from an unrecognizable source.
There is
no flame in it,
no lamp is burning,
no sun is there.
A rising light as in morning
twilight. |

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.
