Where is the Eye able to
see souls?
Where others can see only ‘door' and ‘wall'.
‘Door' and ‘wall' are subtle things:
Fire, earth, water - all tell sublime stories.
- Rumi
"Joseph Chilton Pearce speaks of the importance of
storytelling to children, who, as they listen with rapt attention, flesh out
the stories with sequences of associated images (visions) so vivid that it is
as if the experience were their own. This capacity, developed in childhood, can
then turn to the envisioning in adulthood of what might be. To envision what
might be is fundamental both to play ("let's pretend I'm a bear") as well as to
creativity, which, if authentic, requires the imagining of a possibility that
did not exist before." -
Charles
Eisenstein
"The eye
owes its existence to the light. Out of indifferent animal organs the
light produces an organ to
correspond to itself; and so the eye is formed,
by the light for the light so
that the inner
light may meet the
outer." - Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe
Vision is defined as:
an epiphany
God's Promise
a vivid mental image.
the
Power of Imagination.
a sudden
clear understanding
some thing that is or has been seen
that which is seen; an
object of sight
to see in or as if in a
vision;
envision
the ability to see;
the faculty of vision
a sudden
understanding of the
essence of something.
an
individual or
thing of extraordinary beauty.
a mental
image produced by the imagination.
a religious or mystical experience of a
subconscious reality.
unusual
competence in discernment or
perception;
intelligent
foresight: a
leader of vision.
the
mystical experience of
seeing as if through the eyes of a being composed only
of spirit.
the manner in
which one conceives an image of a possibility of an
event occurring in which the prediction of the event causes the event to occur.
As in:
Those individuals that envision and predict events based upon
the rational logical
judgement of a balanced insightful mind, a mind
intuitively grounded in the truth of
reality with a thorough understanding of cognitive
bias, by 'seeing' realities logical extension into the future
which is sometimes considered prophetic. (see cold
reading)
the faculty of seeing; sight; one of
the six senses, by which colors and the
physical qualities of external
objects are appreciated as a result of the
stimulating action of light on the
sensitive retina, an expansion of the optic
nerve.
the manner in which one conceives an
image of the mode of existence in the past,
present or future of a material object or objects which sets
in motion a series of processes which allow that vision of a material object to
come into actual existence as envisioned through the creative craftsman
process. This is materially realizing the vision in objective
reality.
"Sight gives me information concerning the world around me.
I look out in front of me, and perceive the sea lit up out to the
horizon.
I look around me: to my left and right, I see the limitless
straight line of the beach, and behind it, the dunes - all in space.
The objects are clear and plain.
I see the wind bend over to
the ground the reeds that keep the dunes in place.
I record these
images one by one, and their juxtaposition shows me the real world in which I
live, the world around me.
I am at the center of this universe by means
of my gaze, which sweeps across this space and lets me know everything in it.
By combining these images of reality, I grasp it as a whole, and become
a part of it as a result of my looking.
I am the point of departure
from which the universe and space are ordered: my vision situates me and every
other component, placing each where it belongs.
As I look I discover
order.
Transmitted images are superimposed on one another, and as a
result, I now know that a given image belongs within a particular context of
reality.
It conjures up another image; I anticipate what I am going to
see, but what is coming will in any case be located in space and will
constitute part of reality - deeper and hidden, in a sense, but still reality.
Vision furnishes me this information.
I need to know what
action to take and where to place myself; my sight enables me to know the
reality in which my action will take place, and whether my action is possible.
Sight gives me information concerning the world around me.
It
permits me to accumulate pieces of information, each of which is an image, in
space, of reality.
I know, of course, that this is also something
learned; the shapes and colors and distances I apprehend are perceptible to me
because I learned them.
My culture has furnished me with an
understanding of the images I see.
Images are points which take on
value only when reassembled, so that they acquire an identity as part of a
total picture.
If I had only one "view" of my universe, I would be a
participant in a totality which would be both terribly coherent and yet at the
same time composed of fragments without any necessary relationship.
Visual reality is clearly noncontradictory.
You can say that a
piece of paper is both red and blue. But you cannot see it as both red and blue
at the same time. It is either one or the other.
The famous principle of noncontradiction
is based on visual experience of the world, just as the principle of identity
is.
Declaring that two opinions cannot both be true, when one
denies what the other affirms, has to do with vision, which involves
instantaneousness.
But language involves duration.
Consequently
what is visual cannot be dialectical.
Knowledge based on sight is of
necessity linear and logical.
Only thought based on language can be
dialectical, taking into account contradictory aspects of reality, which are
possible because they are located in time." - Jacques Ellul

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.
