Quote from jack hershey:
Your comments point out that you are bound (have a boundary) that is just totally ego centric. This is dumb, stupid and ignorant.
What has happened over the years is that an algorithm has been offered. If and when anyone decided to use it and pass it forward it turned out that the algorithm spread to other areas. In time copying was invented, the PC came into being, APL's were set up so produce software languages, and programming became part of formal ducation. The algorithm blended these things into it's use and passing forward. So you see practitioners, the system of the algorithm in many forms (mostly human mind poer and electronic); this is described as five generations of peoplein three words: "because we are".
As a consequence of this, the algorithm and its use becoming practical to 1 out of 5 people who consider it (See silly to complex polls which get the approximately same result), my persona became associated with the algorithm and that is where the first two words come from: "I am".
Another word for consciousness is
ego.
Ego is limited, born of the idea of limitation in the unlimited mind of "I am". Ego can be described as Reality's personal computer used to test the idea of Self-opposites. That is, for every attribute native to "I am", ego runs every possible iteration of it's opposite. Since "I am" is perfect, the ideas invested in the ego are pretty much garbage. However, the ego does answer the question "What am I?" definitively in negative terms. Whatever terms are explored, they will all be unreal. However, in it's quest for survival, the ego will make it's magic appear "real". Therefore, the "reality" of this world is all in support of the ego, it's "lifespan", and it's premises.
The ego is a thinking machine of questionable existence because, as I've said, it spawns out opposing attributes to what IS. It's power comes solely from belief, which itself is an opposite of knowledge. The machine spits out algorithms, coding an alt-universe in a single instant, not more significant than a green flash at sunset. As belief is given the machine's algorithms, it's thinking is executed in terms of form. Thus, all form is symbolic of ideas. This includes circumstances and events. The forms appear to have "life", but in fact, they are coded machines, regardless of plasticity. Man emerges among these forms, an automatron functioning in a virtual reality we call "the world", or, "the universe".
The ego does not allow for any other world or universe other than it's own. Limited, it knows nothing of knowledge or what I call the "Kingdom of God". The ego, and it's world will seem to exist until "I am" pulls the plug, disinvesting in it's "reality" by reversing the laws of perception which includes the concept of belief. The ego's "laws" are all opposite applications of the laws of God. It's thought system represents an operating system incompatible with reality. Man runs on this OS so long as he believes anything about the ego's world. Man "decides" between what he thinks is true or false. But the world is set up for man to choose between false and false. Instead of a true boolean system, it's just "bull" which produces, well, you get the point.
The ego posits the idea of "many", giving rise to the concept of "we", "they", "us", and "them". These are all unreal self-concepts which describe the oneness of "I am" in negative terms...that is, unholy terms. From this idea proceeds the concept of differences in appearance, talent, motive...producing the concept of competition. The concept of differences keys off of limitation, whereas, "I am" is/has everything. To have a difference between "I am" and "I am", you must take something away from everything to produce a difference. Hence, "man" is an extremely limited form of "I am", symbolizing a "sacrifice" of nearly everything he is/has, and rendering him unrecognizable to himself. This leads to fear and competition and war both hot and cold. Sports games and financial markets are manifestations of a cold war type mentality.
The concept of "man" is not profitable to "I am" except to illustrate "I am not this...I am not that...". In this way, everything in the world of forms/symbology is what I am not. From this more unlimited perspective, you can now evaluate what it is you are doing as you advocate the profitability of man, attempting to iteratively refine his existence. You are trying to improve what can never "work", and which does not exist. Man is truly not necessary to "I am", and does not add to his knowledge-base. So these are virtually meaningless endeavors except to satisfy curiosity about the unlimited nature of freedom.
Try to post from other than an egotistical point of view. It will be a challenge because all of your faith is invested in the ego's thought system. As a man, you are virtually unaware of any other thought system. Among men, you have differentiated -distinguished - yourself as a good learner of the ego's algorithms. And this has appeared to be profitable. By my calculations, you should be able to own the entire world in about six days. But this comes at the cost of a perpetual unawarness of what "I am" really is, and how you are connected to absolute wealth without the need to compete, toil, or earn.
You could pay this foreward instead, by informing the "many" of their wealth NOW. It is found in
oneness. But instead you offer small gifts that cannot last. They cannot be shared with all, and one must lose for another to win. Not even the thought system/process which produces them will last because this is not the thought system of "I am", which is
reality. Pay this forward, and you will be paid back because in the Kingdom of God, giving is recieving. What you sow you will reap. Give truth to get truth. Give confusion and you will get confusion. Give truth first, and you will pay it forward - forgive it - and the Kingdom will come back to you...back to your awareness of it. Only the Kingdom is sharable with all. Imagine sharing everything - total wealth - with everyone.
The Celtics parable is useful when interpreted to illustrate the invulnerability of oneness. This world symbolizes competition, as if the unreal could possibly compete with Reality. The idea of oneness will manifest invulnerability, and prove that Reality cannot be destroyed.
Learning is an invention of the ego, which has limited information, having virtually
no knowledge. "I am" in the process of converting everything the ego invented to be used for the purpose of returning to the realm of true knowledge. Good learners are called for. What about you?
Jesus
