I am Enlightened

To become Enlightened, know that there are no special virtues to acquire. Simply remain conscious.

The practice of prolonging our conscious state may not give us the power to control the material world. It will, however, give us the power to be absolutely free from suffering due to clinging to things and experience in the material world.

Being enlightened is not a special state of mind; it is the mind's and heart's freedom from all clinging which gives rise to an awareness of all human experience without a notion of identity separate from the world around us. Though this is difficult, it is very possible through practice and training of the mind. Just as worldly achievements are difficult, but possible, enlightenment too, is difficult, but possible.

Return to the realization of self

I am the flow and I am the ebb
We are the weavers, we are the web

We are the needle, they are the thread
We are the masters, back from the dead

Weavers, weavers,
We are weevers, controlers of life.
Weave, weave, weaveing the truth
Out of the yellow falling rain.
Weaveing the hope of a new tomorrow.
Filling your cup once again

[OMITTED], weave Your circle tight
With a web of yellow light
Earth and Air and Fire and Water
Bind you to our light.

Everything is explained above.

The Stranger

Millions of years ago, people were totally different than they are now. We were more advanced, in a different manner. Some would describe us as being magical, for we could do all types of mystic things. We could control the weather, we could control even the Earth. We could build such wonders as the pyramids. We could even fly and teleport.

One day, a intruder came along and decided to bring our empire to an end. Humans were too powerful to defeat in a battle, but this intruder had a more sinister plan. He was a master of words. He knew just the right phrase to use to cause humans to fall from grace.

He began asking people to explain, not show, but explain, "How" they're able to do what they do. How were we able to teleport over great distances. How were we able to levitate giant rocks. How could we cause it to rain whenever we need.

At first the peoples ignored him and thought he was crazy. The intruder/stranger was laughed at even. Eventually some of the people began to ponder the question. 'Well...how am I able to levitate rocks?", "How can I fly...what enables me to do this?"

For this stranger showed the people that he couldn't do the things we could. Not without help, not without technology. He could explain in intricate detail exactly how he could achieve flight or move heavy objects. He had what we would now call "science" to back his feats up. The humans however, did not have science. They had no idea how they achieved their feats, they simply did it.

Slowly, the question began to spread. More and more people became infected with the challenge. Their faith began to falter, their belief in themselves lessened. The strangers technology, which had the evidence to back it up, was more concrete. He could actually explain why or how he does something.

We began to lose our abilities and to place our faith in the strangers technology. There came a time when the memories of the things we were previously able to do were ridiculed as lies when spoken of.

Access is a Wonderful Thing

Well I woke up feeling fresh today, checked my usual sources, and discovered I have been granted access to some very interesting new areas and information.

While I digest the significance of this, I am off on a little trip to see my local pharmaceutical supplier in preparation for [OMITTED] over the next couple of weeks.

I'm a little anxious, but as Burns would say ‘balls to the wall’!

The Book

It started innocently enough. Everyone is on it. Everyone. In the more than 20 years since it was founded - and now - daily life just could not be managed without it. Sure, it started innocently enough. Connect with your friends, post your pics, keep up with the fam. Yeah, that was then.

It wasn't too long before they started adding features. Adding value they called it. Extending your circle. Enabling you they'd say. Yeah, in the same way a spiders web is beautiful. The pattern and symmetry, glistening like shiny gossamer art. Its beauty pulls you in - you don't realize at first as you touch it, that it sticks. No, more than sticks - you become imbued with it. The more you move it wraps around you, encasing you... entombing you. For the data-mining black widow to come and suck the marketable value right out of you, your connections... every aspect of your life is now a product.

Classified, organized, tagged, sorted, tracked, pegged, followed, poked, monetized, labeled... owned is what you are. A commodity. A small spec among 3.5 billion in the user base of the book.

That's what it was these days... just simply 'the book'.

Everyone knows - everyone is aware. They are all in the book. Not even a page, or a word either... more like a letter. A single letter. An iconographic digital hologram of the total sum of your parts - all wrapped up real nice in a uniform singular profitable little package called your user profile. Displayed and viewed and consumed and tracked billions of times over. With more than thirty trillion page views per month, the cancerous blue and white digital encapsulation of the human soul was now blazoned across innumerable screens as nearly half the worlds population interacted on the book - more than 20% of the worlds population on the book at any given moment.

A study, one of the countless to be sure, said that now more than 90% of real human interactions occurred through the book. What does that even mean anymore... real? Real human interactions? Through the book? how is that even possible.

It was no wonder that in the last few years the backlash has switched to resisting this unexpected strangle-hold on the human condition. Most never saw it coming... happily going along with every new feature update, privacy change, "enhancement". MZ was repeating himself a lot these days... except his frame of reference had gotten bigger. Where years ago the book was likened to that which only came along to change humans interactions every 100 years... now his statements were 10 fold. MZ thinks of himself as the embodiment of the singularity... whatever that means. Some fucking fantasy of a long dead cybervisionary that couldn't recognize the makings of our current prison I'm sure. Fuck him.

Looking around looks a lot more like binary slavery than any form of singularity. None of our old problems have been solved - in fact the book has only made things worse. After it became a "platform for governance and outreach" we, people like - those who really see, knew. We knew what this meant. Game fucking over.

This era of hyper connectivity and ultra social awareness was supposed to usher in some sort of Utopian orgasm -- one in which MZ would be carried on the shoulders of the masses to stand next to fantastical human saviors like Jesus. Fictional allusions to stellar bodies be damned!
The only problem is that most of the world is too busy. Feeding their attention into the black hole of the book to notice... or care I guess.

With ubiquitous access thanks to the assimilation of the largest global fiber network a few years ago, the book was now able to offer complete and total "free" access via the acquired goog-net.

Years ago, when Athena rolled out - it was a huge success. Welcomed into every neighborhood - direct, very high speed fiber access in every home was quickly made into a "right". The model was seen as our manifest destiny, held in a 62-micron translucent hair that fed us with more 1' and 0's to each person in a single day than the entire digital output of the globe in 1999.
Such an umbilical cannot be bad right!

The only problem is we misjudged the direction of the flow!
Now, with goog-net reaching everywhere, but the book being the only lens into the tubes -- our minds are warped. We are a most technically advanced - yet wholly dependant child-like civilization.

A mutant.

If its not on the platform. Not "in the book" they say -- how can it be trusted - how could it succeed? How can you expect to be relevant?

HOW CAN IT NOT BE RELEVANT!

Slaves! All of them!

This is why we must act! This is what is needed. Who are we? Who the fuck were we? Not this! Surely not this. It is time....

We must take action now. Rewrite this so called book.
