"I am convinced that if we are
to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a
radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin
the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a
"person-oriented" society. When
machines and computers,
profit motives and property rights are
considered more important than people, the giant triplets of
racism,
materialism, and
militarism are incapable of being conquered." -
Martin Luther King Jr.,
Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient
"So deeply has the gospel of objectivity taken hold
that it pervades our very language, so that
when we use words to deconstruct it, we risk
unconsciously reinforcing it. Witness the odd phrase: "...in which matter alone
mattered."
Here, to matter is to be significant, to be effectively
real.
Matter, turned into verb form, means to be real.
Implicit
in that very verb is that only matter is real. (And what about weighty
matters?)
If we tried to posit the opposite sentiment, say, "Spirit
matters more than matter," we are actually reinforcing the primacy of matter
via the tacit assumptions embodied in the language itself." - Charles
Eisenstein

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.
All views and opinions presented on this web
site are the views and opinions of individual human men and women that, through
