  • A non existent practice creates non existent results. Same with most things.

    The observing from outside. The duality is the first realisation. We are not our thoughts. Our thought are us. They create the sense of self.

    The thoughts come from a variety of directions or arisings. The function of meditation is to initially slow this continual barrage of undisciplined mind and senses. To be aware of the nature of this very real situation and how it controls us, not the other way around.

    This is from my rasayana/alchemical journal

    MYSTERY

    We have created the means of our own expression. The essence calls into being the means of production. Purification and refining leads to the right merging with what is left. Forgetting the eye dissolves the substance. The remembered material is non-existent.

    The King remembered by the Queen, consumed in passion, dissolves.

    First prise is coagulation, then dissolving. The goal of Light travelling in darkness is the same as Darkness in Light. Darkness in darkness is the eternal arriving.

    The point of existence is multiple not singular. We have attended the revels, unravelled the mysteries, revealed knowledge and reveiled our understanding. Now the revels are alluded. One element has many natures. The white harte heralds what is dear to us. The secret unveiled is greater than the secret revealed.

    Ignore the wise and attend the fool. The eternal circle is broken through creation. The formation in the receptacle ensures continuation. Create and grow what is not. Each element is pure. You will know when you do not need to understand.

    From the mistakes of Our Science comes their seance science. We do not ignore our protégé as they forget their heritage. We have:

    • energy without source power without end substance from nowhere to somewhere

    It is our knowledge which is completing. That beyond science will discard. To hour Science there is no end. The missing books of knowledge have never been lost.

    Reduce the fuel to increase the age. That which struggles to be is perfected by effort. The fruit is better than the result. Create a stillness within the still. The undisturbed flame is uneffected by the storm. Now you are in your laboratory. Work towards efficiency not abundance. We will not reach our goal by moving forward.

    There are several ways of meditating/learning together and it does encourage/inspire.

    Examples?

    • Second Life and other Virtual Realities have communal meditations
    • During lockdown Zoom hosted sits, popularised distance meditations
    • Many meditation apps, timers, mindfulness bells available etc




  • I used a server host with a .com url for a few years. It gave me experience uploading using FTP software. Checking site from different browser and platform hardware. That is a paid route. Cloud computing.

    Minimalism was in my Cyber-DNA as I did most of my tinkering from Puppy Linux.

    What is a distributed intranet with servers added as every node holding the complete dataset? Arpanet? I believe this is back to basics.

    That would be the idea of starting with a single server/instance …



  • Thanks for the feedback guys. ❣️🫵🙏 I am calling my soul server OPERATION HORCRUX. Really in honour of the presently unfashionable Black Hat Death Eaters …

    Obviously I hope in time to have several instances. Possibly on a quantum or organic neurone chip if available. Maybe in another dimension/dream world.🤩

    But for now before I am overtaken by my dank side:😇

    • Have a raspberry pi 3 available, could not find the right cable for the pi 4
    • Trying to use my existing hardware for my first piece/peace/instance
    • Am plugged into home ethernet and a relatively fast fibre optic cable service

    My next tasks: To prepare/format a micro SD card and find a one piece raspberry pi solution. Not sure if I want a Virtual Box/Machine solution. Probably a dedicated Pi Server would be best? I could then white list a savvy friend and MAYBE family … in which case would maybe start with a HTML page and passwords to be given out personally. Wot fun! (I iz such a computer nerd)🤗

    Sadly only Herpo the Foul and Tom Riddle know how to make HorCrux. Fortunately I am not daunted by fantasy … 🤓😁🦞

    I saw Richard Stallman talking about GNU. The kids of Linus were running around the stage during the talk. That was the day I decided to be a penguin. My sort of freedom.

    If you have ever been cyber stalked, you may prefer to have anon avatars, names etc. Having been stalked I prefer to have the option.

    Most of us are pretty innocuous but trolls, scam bots, agenda pusher, junk sellers, etc are not something I want …

    Be safe.











  • Seems reasonable,

    All too often spirituality gets a bad name from pseuds/suits as does armchair anarkicks and their nihilist sisters.

    In a sense we are all on a path, some political, some spiritual - all life. We use what we learn for a better functioning. Of course not everything we learn is helpful, question of separating the wheat from chaff and wood from trees … 😎🦞🏴‍☠️

    My silent mantra during a morning walk was OM MANI PEME HUNG HRIH, which loosely translates from the Ti-beta-n as 'oh man, nee flower, hanging out, Here!

    Do you prefer chanting in a dead or unknown to you, language sandwich?😁
