"From success you get a lot of
things,
but not that great inside thing
that love brings you."
- Samuel Goldwyn,
Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient
"There is only one
success
- to be able to spend
your life in your own
way."
– Christopher
Morley
"What is markedly true of
some notable personalities is true, in a lesser degree, of almost every
individual who has much vigor or
force of life; there is an impulse towards activity of
some kind, as a rule not very definite in youth, but growing gradually more
sharply outlined under the influence of education
and opportunity.
The direct
impulse toward a kind of activity for its own sake must be distinguished from
the desire for the expected effects of the activity.
A young man
may desire the rewards of great achievement
without having any spontaneous impulse toward the activities which lead to
achievement.
But those who actually achieve much, although they may
desire the rewards, have also something in
their nature which inclines them to choose a certain
kind of work as the road which they must
travel if their ambition is to be
satisfied.
This
artist's impulse, as it may be called, is a thing of
infinite value to the individual, and often to the
world; to respect it in oneself and in others makes
up nine tenths of the good life.
In most human beings it is
rather frail, rather easily destroyed or disturbed; parents and teachers are
too often hostile to it, and our economic
system crushes out its last remnants in young men and young women.
The result is that human
beings cease to be
individual, or to retain the
native pride that is their birthright;
they become machine-made,
tame, convenient for the bureaucrat and
the drill-sergeant, capable of being tabulated in statistics without anything
being omitted.
This is the fundamental evil
resulting from lack of liberty; and it is an
evil which is being continually intensified as
population grows more dense and the machinery of organization grows more
efficient." - Bertrand Russell
Success is defined as:

that is successful.
The extent of such gain.
A state of
prosperity or fame.
The gaining of fame or prosperity.
An
individual with a record of
successes.
An event that
accomplishes its intended purpose.
The
favorable or prosperous termination of
anything attempted; the attainment of a proposed object; prosperous issue.
The achievement of something
desired, planned, or attempted: attributed
their success in business to hard
work.
That which comes after; hence,
consequence, issue, or result,
of an endeavor or
undertaking,
whether good or bad; the outcome of
effort.

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.
