Borne then were Nine Muses, all of
Æon
Nous:
Clio, Cleio, Kleio; "recount" or "make
famous"
Urania; "heavenly" or "of
heaven"
Melpomene; "to sing" or "the one that is melodious"
Thalia, Thaleia; "the joyous" or "the flourishing"
Terpsichore;
"delight in dancing"
Calliope, Kalliope; "beautiful-voiced"
Erato; "desired" or "lovely"
Polyhymnia; "the one of many
hymns"
Euterpe; "rejoicing well" or "delight"
Happy is the One whom the Muses
love:
Sweet
flows of images spring forth from his Soul !
When Muses first came to Earth
the rivers flooded,
the boundless sea with its raging
swell
ran inland to the
feet of mountains,
gleaming stars in the
heavens winked out
for three
Moon cycles the Rain never stopped.
Pythagoras enjoined all to build a temple to the Muses.
"It
is an education that makes a difference between
a man and a wild beast, a
Greek and a Barbarian, a
free man and a slave, a philosopher and a bore."
Feel sick to
my stomach a lot
being doted on all the time
by
people facing doom.
You hear tanks
and bulldozers pass by.
I have nightmares about tanks and bulldozers
outside our house and you and me inside.
Tanks and bulldozers
destroyed 25 greenhouses
the livelihoods for 300 people.
Bulldozers
come and take out
vegetable farms and gardens.
This happens every
day.
I am discovering a degree of strength
of basic ability for
humans to remain human.
I
think the word is dignity.
Rachel Aliene
Corrie
"Art used to be inexpensive and human life was
valued.
Today human
life is cheap and art is expensive."
Joni GordonMarch 16, 2003 Rachel Corrie is killed by
an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Caterpillar D9 bulldozer
in
a non-violent protest while trying to stop the destruction of Palestinian homes
in Gaza.
"He [the
driver] knew absolutely she was there.
The bulldozer waited for a few
seconds over her body then reversed, leaving its scoop down so that if she had
been under the bulldozer, it would have crushed her a second time.
Only
later when it was much more clear of her body did it raise its scoop." - Tom
Dale
Dr. Yehudah Hiss, an Israeli pathologist, found the cause of death
to be "pressure to the chest."
Her shoulder blades had been crushed,
her spine was broken in five
places, six ribs broken and her face was slashed by the bulldozer
blade.
In literature it is necessary to
avoid:
non-conformist
interpretations of famous personalities.
Don Juan' misogyny,
the Donald Trump and Kanye
West tryst, Jeffery
Epstein' grooming of Miley Cyrus,
Jimmy Swaggart
and Earl Pearly
Paulk;
grossly
dissimilar contradictory
twosomes;
the habit of
defining characters by their
obsessions; as
Dickens
does;
resorting to
extravagant games with time and space in plot development in the manner of
Faulkner,
Hemingway,
Steinbeck;
using cliches
like Ayn Rand, Albert Camus
and George Orwell;
using characters
or situations the reader can identify with;
poetically
painting landscapes through pattern
recognition;
characters prone to becoming
everlasting myths overtime;
scenes intentionally linked to a
description specific time in place ;
phrases dealing with
evolving understanding or conditions;
Local flavor and
chaotic
enumeration;
Metaphors
in general, and visual metaphors in
particular;
Even more
concretely,
agricultural,
naval or
banking metaphors;
Absolutely un-advisable: Abbey or
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon;
Anthropomorphism,
particularly in the stone idol
form;
The tailoring of novels
with plots that are reminiscent of another book
such as Handmaiden' Tale on the Stepford Wives or Brazil
on 1984;
writing books that resemble menus, albums, itineraries,
or concerts;
anything that can be
illustrated in a normal material manner;
anything that may suggest the
idea that it can be made into a movie;
any
historical or
biographical reference in
critical essays;
always
avoid allusions to
authors' personalities or private lives;
Above all,
avoid psychoanalysis.
Domestic scenes in police
novels; dramatic scenes in
philosophical dialogues.
And, finally:
Avoid vanity,
modesty,
pederasty,
suicide.
Jorge
Luis Borges
squally
and
blusterous black clouds, and behind dat blackness is
a tropical storm a-blowin.
De
squall from a hurricane will not be long fore it will sort of break up in its
pass over.
But fore it gets cleared up good, you will see another
squall formin, and each time it blowin a little harder. (sighs)
I never
forgot dat hurricane in 1926, how de people was standing by dere door dere
lookin to windward.
I never forgot how dem people looked when dat
hurricane come down-dey looked like children.
De people stood dere in
dere door lookin to windward at dat awful sky, and dere faces - dey looked like
children.
No!
A mon got to have de guts
of his opinion!
And my opinion is, dey
too many fellas like some dat I
got aboard of dis vessel dat don't know nothin and don't care - no
self-respect!
Dass what it is -
self-respect!
Used to
be dat in Caymans a hisself.
He done his job, took care of his family,
all of dat.
He had his land and his own provision ground; he built his
own catboat and hung his own nets.
Things like dat.
But now dey
all gettin like de cook dere, like dat engineer I got - don't motter what de
color is no more, dey all actin like colored humans.
- Peter
Matthiessen, from Far Tortuga
I would sing the American people,
God send them some
civilization.
I would turn from
superficial things
for a time into quite.
I would draw your minds to learn of life in
quite.
Certain things
really do matter: Compassion, and
the comfort of friendship.
After we are burnt clear, or even
deadened with knowledge;
After we have gone the whole gamut,
exhausted our human emotions,
Still is there something greater, some power, some recognition,
Some bond beyond the ordinary
bonds of passion and sentiment
That rewards us for foregoing
blindness.
There is
great virtue in strength, even in passive résistance.
God grant
us an open mind and the poise and
balance to use it.
I sing of the senses developed, I reach towards
perceptions scarce
heeded.
If you ask me to write world prescriptions I write so that any
can read it:
I am that
terrible thing the product of American culture
Or rather that product
improved by considerable care
and attention.
Write it thus: by their gods ye shall know
them.
The chief god in hell is convention
got by that sturdy sire
stupidity.
Upon pale fear, in some most proper way
Where humans worship a
sham
There is hardly
room for the devil.
There is more in heaven and Earth
than
the priest and the scientists think.

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 en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us
int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us
ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière
Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion 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 pers∞nal relati∞n with the Æon
through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing
the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The
tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out
in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against
individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a
"hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes
vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that
is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and
the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards 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 p☠pulace in general
through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have
been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass
media psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been
the destruction of the family and the destruction of s☠cial structures
that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of
a perfect world. Through
distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the direction of th✡ught of the
bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been directed toward solutions proposed
by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their
p☣wer and which further their purposes.
