True Reality
"Of this there is no academic
proof;
For it is hidden, and hidden and hidden."- Rumi
"We live in a fabricated world of interpretation
that we mistake for reality.
Whether in the digitization of music or the
quantization of reality implicit in virtual reality, the insanity of our
ferocious strivings to manufacture a reality almost as good as the real thing
should be plain.
We are exerting tremendous effort to make an
inferior version of a freely available original.
When at last the
futility of controlling reality becomes apparent,
when at last the burden of maintaining an artificial
self separate from nature becomes too heavy to bear any longer, when at
last we realize that our attempt to control reality
has bankrupted us of life, then a million tiny
revolutions will converge into a vast planetary shift, a rapid phase-transition
into a new mode of living." -
Charles
Eisenstein
"The act of facing reality has a threefold dimension:
getting a grip on reality
implies being within
reality
- not merely facing the
idea of reality
or being in touch with
reality.
Being within reality,
an active nature of being,
the
complete opposite of an inert manner of being
which implies being among
things;
taking on the burden of
reality
an
expression indicating the
fundamental ethical character of
understanding
which
was not given to us so that we could evade our commitments,
but to take
upon ourselves the actual real
consequences of our actions;
taking responsibility for
reality
an
expression that indicates the
practical nature of
understanding
reality;
knowing reality and
understanding
reality requires us to take responsibility
for our actions." - adapted from Ignacio Ellacuria
Dharma is present as a central
concept, used to explain the "higher truth" or
ultimate reality of the universe.
The word 'dharma' literally translates as 'that which upholds or supports', and is
generally translated into English as 'law'.
Dharma is the Eastern version of
Gnosticism.
Dharma is the correct
understanding of
reality.
Adherence to
dharma means
living within the
natural moral order which reveals a
path of proper
social conduct upheld by the natural laws of the universe
set in place and sustained by the Creator
and Sustainer.
The symbol of the
dharma - the wheel - is the
central motif in the national flag of India.
Dharma in its universal meaning
shares much in common with the Way -
Tao or
Taoism.
The various Indian
religions (Hinduism,
Buddhism,
Jainism,
Sikhism, etc.) have all accorded a
central focus to dharma and
advocate its practice.
Each of these religions emphasize
dharma in
their teachings.
In these traditions,
beings that live in accordance with dharma proceed more quickly toward
Dharma Yukam, Moksha or Nirvana (personal liberation).
Dharma also refers to the
teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions, such as
those of Siddhartha Gautama and
Mahavira.
In traditional Hindu
society with its caste structure,
dharma constituted the
religious and moral
doctrine of the rights and duties of each individual.
The
antonym of dharma is adharma
meaning unnatural or immoral.
Reality is defined as:
That which
exists objectively
and in fact.
The quality or state of
being actual or true.
One, such as an
individual, an entity, or an
event, that is actual.
All of your
experiences that determine how
things appear to you.
The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence.
The state of the Earth as it really is rather than as you might
want it to be.
The state or quality of
being real; actual being or existence of anything,
in distinction from mere appearance; fact.
That which is real; an actual
existence; that which is not
imagination, fiction, or pretense; that which has
objective existence,
and is not merely an idea.
Humans have always
had a problem with reality.
Reality, many times, does not function the
way that people wish or
pray it would function .
Individuals throughout
history have fallen into the trap of
believing that their thoughts can have an actual impact on the inner
mechanisms of reality/nature.
The thought
can come as a wish,
wishful thinking,
or may come as a prayer to a
deity.
Regardless of how these
thoughts are formed and executed in one's own
mind the reality
is that if they do not take into account existent
reality and if they are attempts to breach
Natural Law or the
Laws of God they will have absolutely
no impact on existent
reality.
A psychotic episode is often
described as involving a "loss of
contact with reality".
Even in the case of an acute
psychosis, sufferers may be completely unaware that their vivid
hallucinations and impossible
delusions are in any way
unrealistic.
Persons with a tendency to have
psychotic experiences seem to show increased
activation in the right hemisphere of the brain. This increased level of right
hemisphere activation has also been found in healthy people who report
mystical experiences. Individuals who are more
creative show a similar
pattern of brain activation.
People who have
profoundly different experiences of
reality or hold unusual
perspectives have
traditionally held a
complex role in human society, with some being seen as
crazy, while
others are lauded as
visionaries.
"Unfortunately you can't always fix
reality itself, which has a tendency to
remain obdurately, passionately, irascibly unconquerable." -
Tom Engelhardt
"Much of the current
world can do with a reality bite, a more
honest appraisal of
things as they are." - Philip Bosman
Department of Classics, University of South Africa

The philosophical doctrine that

An
artistic movement in 19th century France;
artists and writers strove for
detailed realistic and
factual description.
The
representation in art or literature of objects, actions, or social
conditions as they actually are, without idealization or presentation in
abstract
form.
The
ancient Greek
philosophical doctrine of realism concluded that
abstract
concepts or universals exist independently of their being
thought of and
categorized or classified by
our individual minds.
Over a period of time this concept has
evolved into the modern
philosophical doctrine that physical
objects exist
independently of their being perceived personally by
us individually. In other words, their
is a universe that exists independent of self.
There is a tendency of the human imagination to
‘fill in the holes', to ‘bridge the
gaps' which leads many
individuals to
conceive of something that would be termed
supernatural, ie.
existing outside of nature.
To believe
that things that can not be
sensed by the seven physical senses, things that
move in a dimension outside of reality/nature and yet have the ability to act within
reality/nature, to
believe that things exist that
have never been proven to exist and never can be
proven to exist, to believe that those things actually do exist within the reality that we experience daily and that those self-same things
actually matter to our physical beings in the here
and now is to accept fantasy as
reality - to accept
superstition as truth.
Anything that acts within nature is natural.
THERE CAN BE NO PROOF THAT ANYTHING
EXISTS OUTSIDE OF 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.
