Outer Interfacing - Inner Outerfacing


Interfacing is a conceptual word which i never understood until a few years ago. The when i began to program in various code languages,  i realized thet the browsers and programs we use today are designed with an interface, which is the only reson why people who cannot code can do things like work with or watch videos, listen to music, surf the internet and the like. This is because what we see as a browser (With perhaps a nice chromy skin/theme, and  buttons and toolbars.. graphic effects etc), is actually non-existent. I used to think that a browser was this kind of metal window shich i could see on my screen, but that this metal window really existed (old school huh?).
But after becoming more acquainted with programming and beginning to make my first windows program in C++, i realized that it was just virtual data in code which made the PC screen tell which pixels to light up which color etc, and this makes the tools we use on our computers visible and possible to interact with and use as we wish.
This is what we call the 'Interface' meaning it is the facade/control panel/workshop/communicator between the invisible realm (virtual data), and the visible (Graphic visual interface)

This shows that the data which is processed on the pc is like the invisible mind or soul of living beings
And that the visual interface which we percieve on the screen is the projection of that Virtual world in the Visible world.

The truth is that if we see Living Existence and the world of Data Computing as metaphors, then we can perhaps concieve that just as our bodies interact with others (interface) so are our minds (or souls if you believe in one) like the virtual data which can never be directly touched by others, rather only percieved through a 'middle man' (interface) in this case, the human body.
The body and mind themself have also smaller sub interfaces both physical and abstract (tongue, language, sex organs, touch sensors).
Creation, existence and experience require an ever spiralling number of interfaces and sub interfaces to be able to reach into other realms or areas of communication or interaction with other beings in the outside (and perhaps inner) Worlds. Its like a stepping stone thing which goes one invention, evolutionary development, adaptation or invention at a time stepping forward one step at a time until reaching the area desired to reach.

Evolution works like that
Computing works like that too - Binary for Bios to boot the Windows systeem, then windows was just a data and numbers. These numbers were used to make patterns and define languages
 these languages were incremented and developed to be able to work with other virtual data such as image data and graphis display data
this data was then processed to display visual effects on a screen
 after this, not only programmers were able to communicate with and perform operations on a computer, rather any tom dick or harry could using an easy to use toolbar which although he may be oblivious to the fact, are not actually buttons which make something move inside the pc, rather are just imaginary receptors for the commands which they recieve (through clicking with the cursor - which is also an imaginary picture of invisible data). These commands are pure coded data which is in fact also imaginary and controlled by self defined laws and rules which allow it or prevent it to make certain operations.
We are virtual, within another virtuality, interfacing with other virtual worlds within other virtualities
 One day we will prove that Matter does not really exist. But first we shall have to redefine what our wirld is and how we got to think we are really here.

Everybody who knows, knows this is nowhere

Stepping stones - creation is like this. To cross a river with a pile of boulders, you must firts bring one boulder to the riverside and throw it in.. thats one step across, but not enough to get there. The second step you achieve by first going back to the bank of the river and fetching another stone, hopping with it across to the first stone you placed in the river, and then throwing this second stone in to reach a bit further across.
And so on.. always having to take one step backwards, but the forward steps always increas by one each time.
Two steps forward one step backwards. Its like creating windows using a bios
Creation is like this - Existence is like this
We work just like a computer world works, because this is cosmic law of creation and cannot be any other way
 This is what we would call a Dhamma because it was true before, is now and always will be true.
I wonder who can see these invisible facts, and who thinks i am a raving lunatic?
The Human brain is like an embryo within the human body. We never really step outside our own Virtual Universe, and in fact only use virtual interfaces contained within a physical receptacle which is in fact just as inanimate as a remote control pc or the like

Finally! a bit of Magick (and some Koans)

Magick is Real - Magick is an Illusion

Magick.. Dtawng Prung Dtaeng.. said Choo Dech the Thai Ruesi ;
'Prung Dtaeng', means 'to conditon, add spices and flavour to, decorate.. or the like.
It refers to the construction of conditioned thought forms (visualization), in order to focus, materialize and Manifest an ethereal 'not-yet-real(ized)' thought or abstract intention, until it becomes Manifest through the power of ones concentration and powers of Visualization.

This means in Reality, that all forms of magic are only the results of conditioned though, which is in Nature Illusory.

Therefore, if one can use illusory conditioned thought to Manifest things at will, then Magick is Real, for the results say so.

But if all Conditoned things are Illusory, then both the Conditioned thoughts used to construct and Manifest the Spell, as well as the results of that Spell are therefore Illusory and Unreal.

As Alaister Crowley said in the Book of Lies;
'Everything in this Book is a Lie - This, is a lie in Itself!

AC/DC

The most probable thing of all is that there Never was Anything in Space and Time
That Nothing was Everything
And Everything was Nothing

But there IS Everything here - filling Infinite Space with Infinite Matter
In the first Moment - Everything cannot Be, and is Not. (DC)
In the Alternating Moment, the Nothing becomes all that is (Everything), and All comes into Being, and IS. (AC)

In the Blinking of an Eye
AC.....
The Blinking of an Eye
DC....
The Flicker of a Candle Flame
On and Off
The passing of Every day, the Ritual of awakening and sleeping - an Endless Onslaught of Never Ending repetiton..


We never Advance further than what we have Achieved ton this Day, this Moment

There is no Tomorrow
And Yesterday is but a Memory

As is Everything (that word again..)
If we Look into our Hearts and Minds (heart meaning our intentions, moods and aversions, inclinations) and watch these Phenomena Arise, Stand, and then Fall into Entropy one after another in Endless Sequence of Interminable Succession, we can attain the Dominance over the Inner Powers (Thought and Emotion), and Liberate ourselves from Slavery to the pursuit of Fulfilling the Mindless Elements of the Human Psyche ('fetches' or wraiths' in Western Occultism), known as the Maras, or the Kilesas (Maras are Demons, but the Demons are the Kilesas, which means the Base Desires).



Most of us simply chase after fulfilling the cravings of these Base Desires, which are Not Self and are Mistaken by Normal Humans as being the Self. One is not fulfilling the Self when chasing after Satiating these Desires. When the craving for something comes, that hot sticky bothered feeling (until satiated), is not the Self that is Bothered, it is the Kilesas which are bothered.

We mistakenly feed the Kilesas and give them ever more power over us with the repetition of feeding them time after time again.

Watching the Heart in Realtime (The Present Moment)
Is being Awake

Being Awake
Is Being really and Truly Living
Existent
and Non-Existent

Beyond Explanation
Beyond Theory
Beyond Faith
Beyond Description
Beyond Beyond
Beyond Beyond Beyond
Beyond even Conceiving of that, which Can be gone Beyond



Watching myself
I Conclude
There is no Self
And right there in that moment (or is it a place?)
I Find Myself Waiting
To Find Myself
Waiting for Me to Find Myself

Mundane reasons for letting go (from an egoistic perspective)

all well and good if you let go


Stress

A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, Raised a glass of water and asked;
'How heavy is this glass of water?'

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm..

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'

He continued,

'And that's the way it is with stress management.

If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,

As the burden becomes increasingly heavy,

We won't be able to carry on. '

'As with the glass of water,

You have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.

The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook)  Stress Management for Dummies  emWave Personal Stress Reliever (Silver)

When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.'

'So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.

Don't carry it home.

You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you're carrying now,

Let them down for a moment if you can.'

So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.

Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.

Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

Accept that some days you're the pigeon,
And some days you're the statue.

Always keep your words soft and sweet,
Just in case you have to eat them.

Always wear stuff that will make you look good
If you die in the middle of it.


Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be
Recalled by their maker.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
It was probably worth it.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
Because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.

Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

The second mouse gets the cheese.

When everything's coming your way,
You're in the wrong lane.

Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.

You may be only one person in the world,
But you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

This is more or less how to meditate too.. you have to let go of other matters and issued before you can focus on the object of Meditation.
