LIFE: Love Infinitely Furthers Evolution by Sander R.B.E. Beals (buy e reader TXT) 📕

we were told that viruses were barred from entering the PC by antivirus programs, and that spyware was removed after it had nestled itself on our hard drives. Now if that was the case, why did nobody write a piece of spyware with the lethal payload of the worst virus in it? Not being able to answer that, I removed all anti-stuff from my PC and ran it bare naked across the Web for a few months. Then I reinstalled my trusted virus killer, and ran a full sweep: about six and a half million files scanned, only one of them infected! At the same time, I had a colleague systems manager, who spent half his working day keeping his systems clean....

And the point? In the end it is just what you believe. You can fear the lot and find ample evidence of it, or you just focus on the stuff worth believing in, and see that emerge from the Incredible Machine...

Now if we go back to the Common Consensus Reality (the part which everone believes), I have the faint feeling that it kinda drifted like a little dingy on a lake these last few decades. Progress didn't seem all that explosive, and the few that looked outside the box didn't scream all that loudly. Most of us bought into reality as is, with no hope for anything better. Thus, our Personal Realities were all cluttered into the little sphere we called our common reality.

A local denseness like that is not agreeable to the Cosmos, because it is all a case of very perfect balance. So either a void would have to be created elsewhere to balance things, or the density that existed would have to be diluted. Given its multitasking nature, the Incredible Machine did just that:

"Let's Smurf the Lot!", and with a well aimed shot, the Incredible Machine broke the triangle (2 towers, 1 pentagon) of tangled relationships, and had all separate balls disappearing in the holes of their choice! Yes, I'm talking about 9/11 again, a.k.a. 21st century Babylon. Nobody in particular did it, but together as whole parts of the All we made it happen. And each of us was presented with the experiences derived from our personal viewpoints on it. So in the time following the disaster, thousands of shards of evidence came to light, pointing into dozens of possible conspiracy scenarios (and hundreds of websites), and having our personal views on life racing away from the common view, to refind our balance somewhere at a distance from the rubble. The end result? Our total awareness was stretched to the max, because that far apart, we had to realign ourselves, but we'd never get back to the highly compressed sphere of Common Consensus Reality that existed before 9/11. But as disasters go, this one made our realities regain a balance, rather than disturbing it. Yep, in the end it is just what you most strongly believe!

A number of people will now have thrown away their copy of this text, because they are so attached to 9/11 emotionally, that seeing it described this way is more than they can handle. They lost precious family members or friends in the disaster, and thus find themselves missing them every day. What they perhaps don't know or believe, is the first law of Creation: "You have always existed, and you will always exist, can't change that!" Rather than to focus on missing them, remembering them happy before that or happy now would be more fitting. Because, truly believing the first law will take away your fear of death, yours or anyone elses. In effect, if you got this far, you might now even see death as birth into yet a greater reality.....

Must be a glitch in the Matrix....

Being a movie freak and watching Deja Vu immediately brings to mind that other Deja Vu: the one that indicates a change in the Matrix. No I'm not saying that Neo and his team mates are all reality in my reality, but the Deja Vu thing is not just a catchy phrase. And the guy Dough Carlin interviews right now (Claire's Dad) knows that too: he hands him a set of photographs of her, with the express instruction that he wants his daughter to matter to the cop. Which of course, she already does.... And the real Deja Vues haven't even started then.

Now this movie is a real sync waiting to be run into. If you haven't already had your experience of time reworked by the fact that it is human-defined, and thus no cosmological constant, then watching a movie where it is possible to watch just a fixed time into the past will have your head scrambled: highly entertaining, and not unlike the way we handle reality:

Dough is now on the Snowwhite team for his first day, and is being handed a bunch of bullshit about just how it works. Since he has no actual experience in the field, he has to work on his gut feeling or intuition to determine what is and isn't right. And it turns out he is more than doing OK: his observations soon bring the team to properties of their high-tech system that they had always deemed impossible, and even been scared to try!

But there is a very big blunder in the movie, when Dough convinces them to try and send a note through the system to the past: Even though they all claim it to be impossible and say they never tried it, the system appears to already have a scanner that can feed a piece of paper into the system! Just having them connect a standard scanner to do the job would have been more convincing. But then again, why do I want to be a film critic? I love movies, so my default appreciation of them would kinda bias the critiques.

What I do see now, is that the movie industry is just one of those undertakings that has seen how things fit into one another, and is cashing in on that while doing us a favor: by example, they try to show us the way into positive thinking, even when the concept of the movie is not particularly positive, like a horror flick for instance.

But don't get me wrong, we are in a matrix, even if it is of our own making. It is the matrix that is made up of all the webs we ourselves weave. Just like Carroll Oerstadt just now said "They're all connected, everything's connected", we all are too. How many friends do you have, how many family members? How large are all the groups you are part of, or the company you work for? It is said that a link from one human to a random other one across the globe needs only seven hops. And it may be less: last month our company was taken over by one of the big japanese companies, so I guess the Japanese period my daughters had a few years ago may be useful just yet, because this has radically reduced my number of hops towards the Japanese population....

And as for living outside the Matrix, that is not a matter of escaping your particular battery cell, but much rather a matter of realising that all the connections you see tying yourself down to 'reality' are in fact only ideas in your own being which you have formed by reacting to what you have created 'out there' to be your mirror image.

Last few days were more like a chasm in the Matrix, with writing being furthest from my mind. That didn't mean I wasn't working on the book, but more like working on getting to the finer points yet to be addressed. I discovered by plain self-observation, that my success at manifestation is becoming more adept, even if you only see it in minor events: last night I was cooking, when I accidentally knocked the meat knife off the counter. It was heading towards my toes, sharp point first. Not even thinking about moving my foot, I instead envisioned it ending alright, and blocked the knife with my upper leg: instead of causing a wound, the sharp instrument bounced back onto the counter as if I'd just pushed rewind on the camera of my eyes! Stuff like that keeps happening: a glass will fall, I see it knowing it will be allright, and then it won't break, even if it is a tile floor. Or I will notice a broken bottle on the cycle path too late, drive right through the sharp shards, and then not get a puncture!

And it isn't so much knowing it will be all right, because right is but one of these infinite labels, we beings attach to things. Lots of people discriminate between thinking and feeling, as if they are two different things, even I do it when I'm in 'normal' reality. Yet from an early age I always wondered why people made that distinction, because I just couldn't feel the difference! Only when I'd reconciled myself with that assertion, did the real concept emerge: being was all there was, no normal living against meditation, for no matter how you try, during meditation your senses keep feeding you information that tells you undeniably where you are, no matter where you envision yourself. The moment you realise that there and here are One, regardless of the distance.

Am I that different from the normal human being? No more than the next neighbor I'd say, although I'm quite certain he's not all that happy with the world around him as I am. But let's not get into that, because I have no quarrel with my neighbors. And even then, this book is not about such a puny little detail, no matter how important it may be to either of us. No, my story for tonight, musically enlightened at the moment by Moby and 'Everloving' (another random pick from over 38000 tracks) is about what we call Love, which basically is just another label: we say we like things, but we also love, which is supposed to be the more than like.

Sure, this diagram is slanted towards lust, because it generally is believed to be an instinctive, non-reflected upon preference. But I never said that the view you use to create it has to be an absolute one. In fact, with All being relative, that isn't even possible! So yes, in my view I am aware of hate and dislike, but it belongs in my negative triangle, along with indifference. The other three are much more interesting (to me at least): like, love and lust indicate stuff, situations and/or beings who are aligned with our preferences in a positive way:

The idea a lot of people are struggling against, is that there are a lot of rules they dislike, which still need to be followed. Or at least, if there are positives, then there must also be negatives to balance things out. In fact though, in the above diagram, the two triangles are perfectly stable all by themselves. Neither needs the other to keep things in balance. Balance between the two is OK, but not imperative.

"So you can just wish for the good things, and avoid the nastiness altogether?" I hear you ask. Yes, that is the whole idea: I only partially read Tom T. Moore's books on Most Benevolent Outcomes, but essentially he says the same. "Ask and thou shalt be given", said the elders, right? Well, that actually works, but I noticed something funny this morning: often I ask to get up well rested, but last night I forgot. So my alarm clock encountered me in a hard-to-wake state, that made me decide to sacrifice one of my last days off. To counter the effect. And then it got to me: the delegation of work between conscious and subconscious not only works when we think and feel, but also when we manifest: if we don't set a specific target consciously, then the subconscious mind will take over to do its homework, and will start manifesting our already requested wishes. So my "wake up well" wish will be standard from now on...

And of course I'll try to wipe some of my
