"Meditate profoundly, that
secret things
unseen may be revealed unto you, that you may
inhale the sweetness of a
spiritual imperishable fragrance.
Acknowledge the truth from time
immemorial unto eternity the Almighty hath tried, and will continue to try,
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 thoughts of the
future,
anticipations,
hopes, or fears, nor will I let my mind stray toward
memories of the past.
I will remain focused on
this present moment.'
Once you have cultivated such a will, you take that space between past
and future as the object of meditation - and
simply maintain your awareness of
it, free of any conceptual
thought processes." - 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 the
deeply concealed
activities, the 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 process by which
we transform our more
instinctual attitude to life, that state of mind which
seeks only to satisfy desire and
avoid discomforts, is what we mean when we use the word meditation.
We tend to be controlled
by our mind, following it along its self-centered path.
Meditation
is the process whereby we gain control over
stimulation of the mind and guide it in a more virtuous direction.
Meditation may be thought of as a technique by which
we diminish the force of old thought habits and
develop 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, which generates feelings of discomfort
that impel us to do something productive.
Certainly this is what many
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 thing to do, moments mortgaged to
the campaign of improving one's circumstances.
The first step to freedom is
simply to allow yourself to fully feel whatever there is to feel.
This, and not thought control, 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
technique Meditation happens
spontaneously.
The whole trick of meditation is
how to remain unoccupied.
When you cannot do anything the
meditation flowers.
Man is ignorant and blind.
He wants to remain ignorant and
blind.
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.
Courage is required.
Courage to
allow yourself to see yourself
as you truly are.
The courage 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.
By and by darkness
disappears.
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,
just like it is morning.
The night has disappeared, and the sun has
not risen … or in the evening -
the twilight, when the sun has
set and night has not yet descended. |

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.
