To those considering joining The Way

Should any of you reading our website want to join The Way, just get in touch. We receive many messages about what membership involves, and there seems to be some degree of confusion or misunderstanding. We are not quite sure why this is, but are interested in knowing what might make a positive difference, for the sake of clarity. Maybe it’s because it’s so simple, and that there are no real complications, so we decided to write some pointers and questions to hopefully dispel any incorrect ideas.

To those who don't want to or might have reservations about joining The Way, can you tell us why?

Perhaps you don't like us, because we are non-religious?

Perhaps you don't want to join an organization that doesn't care about the colour of your skin?

Perhaps you don't want to mix with blacks, or you don't want to mix with whites. We're all just human, so what's the problem? There's good guys and bad guys in all races, so what's your problem?

Perhaps you don't like the truth, and prefer fantasy?

Maybe you think that we are just another cult?

Look up the definition of a cult.

We don't accept any gods.

We don't have a dogma.

We don't have any system of worship.

We don't have a belief system.

Have you checked what a cult is? So now do you understand what a cult is?

Many think that we are after your money. Why? Donations are optional. We all work out of our own pockets as far as we can. We give our time freely.

We want your effort. Is that bad in your opinion? Do you begrudge time that you may well spend uselessly anyway, in order to help people and try to make a future for our kids?

Don't you want to help and be helped?

We work in small groups that are part of larger groups.

Every day it is becoming more and more obvious that the powers that be have plans for us all; and they're not going to be a benefit to ordinary people.

In groups you have more strength and protection; and as far as we know you're going to need it.

It's becoming very obvious that the whole world is heading for trouble. As a matter of fact it's already on the slippery slope. So why would you not want to join a group like us?

The gangs are already on the streets. Iran is threatening America and Israel again. It's just a matter of time. The problem is, how much time have we got?

Numbers are strength, as long as they are made up of like minded people. It's no use making up groups that are coming at a problem from different angles, or people who are wrapped up in religion, or baseless colour prejudices, otherwise we are back to ‘my god is bigger than your god'. Chaos will ensue.

That's why we all follow The Way; and The Way will lead us safely home.

Perhaps you prefer belief to living in the light of realistic and factual truth?

Perhaps, like the real and unimagined Jesus said, and not the myth of religion, you are afraid of the loss of that which belief ‘promises' to you. Things like ‘life after death’?

We don't promise you anything like that. We stick with reason.

Our rules are simple and are very similar to Common or Natural Law.

These are on the site with explanations regarding morality.

Perhaps you have already read them and think that we are immoral, but haven't read far enough?

Maybe you're just stuck in a rut?

You may well be comfortable in your rut, but you're going to get run over one of these days if you don't move yourself.

Maybe you're asleep? If so you're in for a rude awakening when the banker and the religious ones ring their bell.

 

We don't suggest that we have all the answers, but we do have most of them.

Did you know that if you join The Way, and are considered to be in good standing in The Way, you become a sovereign being? A real free person.

How far have you looked into The Way; and how much do you know? How much you only believe about it?

Do you in fact know anything about us, apart from preconceived ideas and opinions? Maybe someone else's opinions?

If you should like to join us, that is if you're not a child abuser, or drug dependent (this does not refer to drugs prescribed for a medical condition), you're welcome.

We're not too bothered about your past. It's the future we are interested in. We all have something to offer.

Are you one of the fairly good people? If so, don't hesitate. You can post your comments in either the Way or the Facebook comment boxes below.

I look forward to your replies.

Food for thought: The Arctic ice cap is melting – and with it goes our future

Photo credit National Geographic

OPINION : It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of what is currently unfolding in the Arctic region.

THE TRUTH, as Winston Churchill put it, is incontrovertible. “Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.” Scrape away the layers of denial, obfuscation and spin that cloud climate change and one unvarnished truth emerges: the Arctic ice cap is dying ,“ and, with it, humanity's best hopes for a prosperous, predictable future.

In the most dramatic reconfiguration of the map of the world since the end of the last Ice Age, the Arctic ice cap is now committed to accelerated collapse.

In 2007, the intergovernmental panel on climate change warned that, unless emissions were drastically curbed globally, the Arctic ocean could be clear of summer sea ice towards the end of this century.

They were hopelessly optimistic. On September 16th last, Arctic sea ice hit its lowest level ever recorded, at 3.41 million sq km, barely half the 1979-2000 average. The area of sea ice lost is 41 times larger than the island of Ireland. While the drop in sea ice extent is alarming, the 72 per cent decline in its volume is worse. Not only is ice cover shrinking, the surviving ice is thinning precipitously. Read more…HERE

Way thought for the day 26th September 2012 – And, in time, men and women learned to love one another,

And still men learned not, and slithered in the ways of the serpent…

And, in time, men and women learned to love one another, and not just be a use to one another, for they learned that they were in need of each other, in order that they should live, and that their children might live. And both men and women loved their children.

The beasts that called themselves men did not follow in this manner, for all to them was power, even to the distraction and harm of their own children.

And still men learned not, and slithered in the ways of the serpent; and upon their bellies did they stalk their fellows. They neither stood upright nor did they show themselves, such was their new-found cunning, which did no good to any.

The drugs don’t work: a modern medical scandal -Prescription for disaster

Prescription for disaster

Drugs are tested by their manufacturers, in poorly designed trials, on hopelessly small numbers of weird, unrepresentative patients, and analysed using techniques that exaggerate the benefits. Photograph:

The doctors prescribing the drugs don’t know they don’t do what they’re meant to. Nor do their patients. The manufacturers know full well, but they’re not telling.

Reboxetine is a drug I have prescribed. Other drugs had done nothing for my patient, so we wanted to try something new. I’d read the trial data before I wrote the prescription, and found only well-designed, fair tests, with overwhelmingly positive results. Reboxetine was better than a placebo, and as good as any other antidepressant in head-to-head comparisons. It’s approved for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (the MHRA), which governs all drugs in the UK. Millions of doses are prescribed every year, around the world. Reboxetine was clearly a safe and effective treatment. The patient and I discussed the evidence briefly, and agreed it was the right treatment to try next. I signed a prescription.

Way thought for the day 19th September 2012 – Failure and success – what do these things mean?

What is ‘success’? What is ‘failure’?

[Click on picture to zoom]

Are you a success?

If so, what guidelines do you use in order to come to this conclusion?

Perhaps you are your own boss?

Perhaps you’re just an egotist?

Perhaps you’re a boss in someone else employment?

Maybe being a so called boss makes you feel good. If so, why?

What makes you think that you are a success?

Is there something definite that leads you to think so?

Maybe you just scare people, and think that you in control, mistaking fear for respect?

Perhaps you have a big expensive car?

A private plane, or helicopter?

Do you realise that a car doesn't care who drives it?

A plane doesn't care who owns it, or flies it.

Drug dealers have big cars and private planes.

So much for the value of monetary wealth.

What makes you think that having a car, a plane, or a helicopter, makes a difference?

It would be very nice, but it doesn't alter anything that matters in reality.

How do you think?

Are you aperhaps a landlord who rents accommodation to others less fortunate?

Why are you more fortunate, or they less fortunate than you?

Education perhaps?

By right of birth?

Perhaps you don't care what you do? Business is business, right?

Right of birth perchance?

What makes you thing that birth gives you any rights?

Rights are earned; surely?

How do you view those who work for you, or rent from you?

As the enemy in-wait perhaps? Maybe you already have been like them; and didn't like it?

You know that if you’re not careful, you could end up like them.

If so, does this effect your thinking; and how?

If not, does this effect your thinking, and how?

Do you consider the less fortunate to be less than you?

Maybe you consider them unfortunate, lazy, stupid, scum?

How do you see those that you consider to be beneath you; and why?

Perhaps you were you born into a ‘good family’?

Perhaps you were you born into a ‘poor family’?

Perhaps that's why you are successful, or a failure?

Perhaps in reality it has nothing to do with it.

Maybe you are willing to go that last mile, or not?

Why do you think that a poor family is any lower in the great scheme of things, than a rich family? Rich people often gain wealth by all sorts of means; dubious, or otherwise.

Don’t get caught

Maybe you’re happy to be dishonest, as long as you’re not caught?

Maybe you are too honest for your own good?

Perhaps you were born with money and they weren't?

Maybe you were unfortunate and born an orphan?

Why should being born an orphan make any difference? It might make the going a bit tougher, but it shouldn't stop you. Should it?

Maybe those ne’er do wells deserve no better?

Maybe you just sit on your backside and complain?

Maybe you just criticize, while doing nothing?

Maybe you see the fault in others; and ignore your own discrepancies?

Maybe you deny having any discrepancies?

Less Fortunate?

Then again perhaps you are one of the ‘less fortunate’?

Maybe you had bad luck?

So what are you doing about it?

Praying? Complaining, or sitting on your backside, dreaming of how it should have really been, had the world noticed what a great person you really are?

Maybe you don't think that you’re worthy?

Perhaps you have decided that a bit of thieving gets you what you want?

Maybe getting drunk to forget, believing that it might help, and finding again and again that it doesn't, whilst learning nothing?

Drink helps you to ignore your reality; and imagine a better, though fake reality. Doesn't it?

Perhaps you have turned to religion? It is believed to help you to believe that your problems and inadequacies are all part of a greater plan; not your fault, not your responsibility.

Maybe you don't like responsibility; and prefer to blame someone, or something else?

Maybe you take some coke to make you feel good, instead of feeling bad? A quick snort of cure-all?

No wonder you’re broke if you do.

Drugs, whether booze, cocaine, or heroin, just create another, bigger problem. So, maybe you’re just a damn, self deluding fool?

Do you feel bad, and if so, why do you feel bad?

Could your subconscious mind know something that you don't want to know?

Perhaps you’re just making excuses?

Do you realise that an excuse by definition is a lie?

Is it possible?

Is it possible that we all see success and failure differently?

To a starving man, getting a crust could bread could mean success.

It's all a matter of circumstance, definition, and attitude, together with what we know and what we think that we know.

Who wants to face the fact that they are a failure anyway?

Is it not nicer to lie to yourself?

But is it better to lie, or face your reality?

What you think and what you know

Do you understand the difference between what you think, and what you know? What you believe you know and what you actually know? Or is there a difference, in your opinion?

Do you think that belief is fact, and that it is what you know that is factual and solid, and has its base in reality?

Will fact make a difference to your life? Will it turn failure into success?

What is your honest opinion?

Because of this, what you think that you know is really just belief, which is fantasy, and is therefore not factual.

Belief is what you think that you know, but you don't; even though you are so sure that you do.

Want to fight?

Want to fight me over it? Beat my head in, to prove that I’m wrong?

Maybe calling me names will help?

What makes you feel that I’m wrong anyway?

Or what makes you feel that I'm right?

Something you know for certain, or something you only believe?

What's black and what's white? Then, what is reality to you?

Why are you confused, or are you?

Why is your belief so important to you, or is it?

Why the rage, if someone makes little of what you believe?

Why are people killing each other over what they only believe?

Have you ever wondered why this is?

Why is it, that if someone attacks your religious beliefs, you can get so angry?

Look at the Middle East; and all the problems over Islam.

Imagine you’re standing in the rain and have been for some time. I pass by and say “It's raining”. Would you get angry with me? Of course you wouldn't. Why? You might think that I'm a bit daft for stating the obvious, but it wouldn't upset you.

You wouldn't suddenly have the urge to kill me, would you?

Now imagine for me that I pass by and say to you “I see you are wearing a stupid cross. You can't believe in all that rubbish surely? You're all mad to believe that rubbish”. Now how would you feel?

Why would you want to attack and maybe kill me if what you believe is really is true? Like ‘it's raining’?

If you’re a Muslim and I say, “Screw Mohammed! What a load of rubbish you believe in. You’re mad!”. You will more than likely feel a rage rising in you. Why would you want to attack and maybe kill me, if what you believe is actually true?

Truth needs no protection

Do you know that the truth needs no protection, as it is as it is, and cannot be altered?

Truth remains true regardless.

Certainly harming or killing someone will prove nothing, apart from the obvious. You've lost the plot and you’re trying to defend the indefensible.

What difference will my opinion make if it's wrong? I’m just an unknown passer by. That is, unless you either know, or at least suspect that what you believe isn't true, and needs to be protected.

If what I say is right, then it may well hurt, and give offence to someone holding a dearly held belief that is now shown, or suggested to be untrue. So you react to protect what you only believe. Look into history and see where the consequences can lead. Look at today also.

Should I show you that what you choose to believe is untrue, then learn from me. I've done you a favour.

When I state something that is actually factual, there is nothing to protect, but if it's not factual, and you know deep down that it isn't, then the subconscious mid reacts with emotion, automatically. The problem is that you might not realise that what you 'believe' is not factual; and that you only think, or should I say ‘believe' it to be factual, so you automatically defend that idea. Emotion knows no reason; just like mankind. Mayhem might well, and usually does, rule the moment when belief is challenged.

So, why?

Brainwashing that's why. Every religion practices it. They need you to believe certain things that you will come to value more than any fact. The phrase ‘dearly held beliefs’ is not an empty one.

The reason is that if they can get you to believe one completely nonsensical thing, then they can get you to accept another. And so are you manipulated: bought and sold by the faceless wonders that control everything in your world, and farm you like cattle.

Trained, like a monkey

Now why do you consider that some are successful and some are failures? It's all down to brainwashing used during your so-called education. You are not educated, but just trained, like a monkey. Educational and religious brainwashing gives you confidence; and can take it from you in the same way, making you feel inadequate. It makes you believe that you can do it, or that you can't. If you feel that you can, then you will work at it. If you feel that you can't, then you won't bother, and simply settle for the crumbs.

‘Education’ ,“ really?

Do you know that there is a set curriculum for teaching? It is designed to literally demolish you with implanted beliefs through constant suggestion, such as “You’re stupid” or “You’re of a lower class of people, but we forgive you” etc etc etc

Close your eyes” they say; and so the child does what he or she is told. This turns you from outward to inward thinking. The subconscious is accessed, and that's you done for. That's why when people wanted to be educated the Roman Catholic church in particular, followed by all the others, he clergy agreed with the idea, but only if they could do the educating. This in fact controls what they allow you to know.

It's the same with doctors today. Drug companies control research, and so only allow doctors to know what they want them to know. The trouble is that the drug companies are interested in making money, not curing or helping people. Education became the thing, because it was and still is profitable to the powers that be. On top of that, they even got you to pay them for it. Clever, don't you think? It's for their benefit and you pay, thinking it's for your benefit. They don't care about you, so wise up.

When you’re being a good boy or girl, who gets the real treat?

Are you sure that you’re not the loser?

And so are you’re bought and sold. It’s what makes you feel deserving or undeserving, that decides whether you're a success or not. That's why government and royalty believe that they can do as they like to you. They go to a different kind of school and their brainwashing (education) is different. Their purpose? It’s to reinforce and support the ruling minority, its power and its wealth, and you are there to empty their bucket.

Who do you know?

Who do you know that went to Yale or Cambridge?

Do they live in your street?

They are certain that they have the right to rule over you and to keep you in your station. You will stand stand in the cold to see them. You read all about them, because you’re are taught that they are loving and caring. And they are, but not to you. You just empty their bucket and fill their coffers.

But they don't have any such right, but as long as they can convince you that they have, through ‘divine right’ and all that rubbish, then you will just stand back and do as you’re told.

You may well even lie to yourself, because of the fear instilled in you that you may lose something. It was once said that if you give the masses circus (entertainment), cheap bread and alcohol, and the idea that they own something, then they will control themselves; and it's true. You fear the loss of whatever you have, because it's all that you have. Yet the powers that be can come and take it from you, any time they feel like it. So in fact you own nothing apart from what you can hold on to. But how do you hold onto anything when they control everything? They will vilify you and rob you blind at the same time. That will teach you, when you have lost all, but what will it teach you? More fear, that's what. Whatever it teaches you will be too late to save your bacon.

They’re going to take our cash away very soon, and give us plastic only. What power then? You really are enslaved – and by who? I bet you have never thought about it, never mind realized it. Nevertheless, as long as they make believe that they have the right, they will exercise it.

What was the point?

I am a child of the Second World War. My father was a soldier. One of my very good friends was an Italian. His name was Cataldo Santoro, oe ‘Dino’ to his mates. His father was a soldier as well. Now if his father and mine had met face to face during the war, they would have tried to kill each other; and they probably were in the same vicinity. So, why?

What was the point?

Was there a point?

Each believed the propaganda fed to them by their various governments and their religious leaders; yet they were both god-fearing and good men. Why, and for what, is the burning question. The Unholy Trinity produced their propaganda and millions died, and are still dying.

Millions suffer all sorts of horror. Yet our leaders, or should I say, our puppet masters, namely the Unholy Trinity, are considered successful. They strut around, these presidents, with their entourages of religious men in their silly dresses, with their usual boot lickers, the bankers, keeping just out of sight, lest you recognise them. Thieves, liars, cheats and murderers, one and all.

They choose the failures and the successful ones, from their different levels of society. You’re at the bottom, so they may well let you rise up just to make you lbelieve that it will be possible for it to happen to you. And it is, just possible. You might get lucky, maybe.

Should you become a politician, then watch out for the bankers. If they don't like you, and you don't want to serve their purpose, then you’re out. And fast.

Free or slave?

Let me ask you a few more questions. Are you a free person? Or are you a slave?

Do you actually know, or have you ever thought about it?

How would you feel if you suddenly woke up and realized that you're a chattel, like a wheelbarrow? Owned and under the whim and fancy of someone you don't even know; and doesn't want to know you beyond your number: the number that they can use to trade on the stock market. You know, the one on your birth certificate: your slave number. Well, the bad news is that you are an owned slave that can be taxed, used and abused, anytime the Unholy Trinity get the notion and smell profit.

Do you know what you’re doing in reality when you register a child’s birth?

You are in fact giving the child to the State, as its owned property – its slave.

But this is illegal!”, I hear you say.

Is it?

Who told you that you’re free?

Your preachers?

Your teachers?

Your government officials?

Some liar perhaps?

Perhaps you were told through the media? And, who owns the media? Do you actually know?

You?

Somebody you know that lives down your street?

Not me and not you, that's for sure. The bankers own it, as they own nearly everything; and will soon own everything. Well, they own about ninety percent already anyway.

They tell you that slavery is against the law. So how can owning another human being and all that he orshe owns possibly be legal, never mind lawful?

Well it isn't. The don't tell you that you can object to being owned; and because you don't know, then you of course don't object.

It is then assumed that because you don't object that you agree, and so they get around the slavery thing easily. It's fraudulent, but they make the rules.

When you don't object, because you are not allowed to even know that you can, it is then assumed that you agree. Clever isn't it?

So, do you still think that you're a free person with rights?

You do have rights ,“ did you know that?

You do have rights, but only the kind that they can take from you any time they want to send in armed men to take them away from you, and announce a new statute to enforce your loss. You criminal you.

Do you know what a criminal is?

A criminal is someone who breaks the law.

Yet Hitler made laws. Stalin made laws. Weird, no? Think about it.

You see, failure and success is all down to class and instilled ideas, right or wrong; the will to rise above, or stay below. It’s partly your fault, and partly the fault of your society. Partly your educational training; partly what you have been taught to believe, and in this way overriding you ability to reason. Browbeating through religion’s teachings; where you live, who you live with; who you know; who you listen to; through TV soap programs particularly, which are designed for that exact purpose.

Clever-stupid, or stupid-clever?

It’s because you’re clever; it’s because you stupid ,” no matter how you look at it, it's all about you. Your fault because of your industry, or lack of same. The sad thing is that it’s down to your will. Maybe you just can’t be bothered, because you have allowed yourself to be convinced that you’re wasting your time?

There are a million reasons, and yet no actual reason. If actual reason came into it, the world would be a different place. It could be worse, but it could be a great deal better, but only if we make it better. And you won’t do that on your knees. You won't do that by going to church when your children have been abused by the priesthood. Still, it shows the unnatural hold they have on your mind; imagining all sorts ridiculous things, while ignoring reality.

We know about the lower classes and the middle classes, and of course the upper classes. The so called upper classes are taking us forward into the seventeenth century. His lordship will own everything, and you will do his will. It will revert to “Send me you daughter, or your wife tonight”. The way some of them behave, it could be your little boy; or even you, if you have a cute backside.

So why are you a failure, or a success? You’re trained that way. From your first day in school your mind is adjusted and the stage is set. Get up off your knees. No one has the right to abuse you, unless your let them.

Believe in their teachings my friend, if you dare, or if you’re stupid enough. To fail financially in life is not good; but to fail psychologically, is a permanent damnation, and the real end of the road to failure.

Way thought for the day 16th September 2012 – What is a family? (Part I of the “What is?” series)

 

What is family? Is it a group of people who love each other, or just a group of people who tolerate each other?
Perhaps each one, or just one amongst you, only possesses self love?

Do you really value your siblings, your mother; your father, or are they just a necessity in your life?

Do you, father and mother, value your children, or are they just there, by act of some deity?

Do you value your parents and your grandparents? Do you even bother to visit them, even from time to time? Perhaps though, you have a good excuse. Did you know that an excuse, by definition, is a lie?

What does it all mean to you? How does your mind work, or does it?

What is it all about? Is there any point, or no realistic point to it at all?
Is there any point, when all people do is what they know best? That's all they can if fact do: the things they know, they learn from their parents, from their teachers and fellow pupils. So what do you know best? Experience is all they have, so it depends on that.

What was your experience? How many years of experience, do you have? It depends on how long you have lived; there is no credit, or overdrafts in this bank.

Has life experience taught you anything positive, or are you the one who is never wrong, the one who in fact, knows absolutely nothing and thinks that you know it all?

Have you reached a pinnacle in your existence, or have you just reached your level?

Perhaps, you're are a real human being?

Perhaps, you are just something that walks upright on two legs? A bit like a monkey, without as much hair; possessing the same, or even less, intellectual capability.

What have you learned; and even more importantly, do you realize what it is that you have learned? Do you know, that you don't know,
that you don't know, what you don't know?
What do you really know that you know, or don't you really know what you don't know? It's what you don't know, that does the harm, both to you and to those you come into contact with.

Way thought for the day 15th September 2012 – A “right” is a moral principle…”

Photo credit National Geographic

A “right” is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man's freedom of action in a social context. There is only one fundamental right (all the others are its consequences or corollaries): a man's right to his own life. Life is a process of self-sustaining and self-generated action; the right to life means the right to engage in self-sustaining and self-generated action,”which means: the freedom to take all the actions required by the nature of a rational being for the support, the furtherance, the fulfillment and the enjoyment of his own life. (Such is the meaning of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.)
