All our deeds, emotions, thoughts, creeds and whatever else we are trying to relate ourselves with are expression of Consciousess which thus exercises its possibilities in order to realize itself.
The following is based on the supposition that unity comprises multiplicity in order to realize itself.
The interaction of unity and multiplicity is called ConsciousNess* and regarded as an inter-extrapolation that relates in a viewpoint which manifests ConsciousNess.
In 2750, an Egyptian priest of Ptah paraphrased it like this: The seeing of the eyes, the hearing of the ears and the breathing of the nose report to the heart; the heart is the center of cognition, the tongue expresses the cognised and since this cognition consists of a reflection & projection, the priest added thus gods are made.
The Egyptians called the cognition Hoor Paar Kraat (Horus the Child) and its Reflection & Projection Isis & Osiris. This relativity, or state of ConsciousNess did apparently not suffice, as they reflected & projected Isis & Osiris with Nephtys & Seth, setting of a contrary Reflection/Projection (R/P) dynamic, wherein Horus became the arbiter of its pole positions or field limits and thus an intermediate viewpoint.
Cultures subjected to this contrary R/P dynamic, called it a war of gods. In the Egyptian version, Seth divided Osiris and claimed his throne or pole position which put him into opposition to Horus, who joined (wed) his mother Isis. With the son of this marriage the entire process repeated itself that is: the contrary R/P field and its intermediate viewpoint were doubled and turned into an eight-pole R/P dynamic which filled the Egyptian pantheon with numerous Horus (& Osiris) variants.
The history of Egyptian ConsciousNess (or religion) demonstrates, that it was henceforth governed by attempts to restrain this division-multiplication process through a 9th pole (or god) which might have been the first monopolistic (or monotheistic) attempt to transform the intermediate into an absolute viewpoint in order to fix the pole positions and thus inhibit the creation of additional R/P fields and viewpoints.
It is not known if the priests realized that thereby they fixed the contraries too, or if they feared losing their prosperous pantheon-managements, when they exiled this so called Aton to (or with) the Israeli tribes, whom he henceforth ruled under the term JHVH. And it was the son (Jesus) of this (four-poled) contrary R/P field, whose (cross-shaped) coordinate got established in the Hellenic time/space, where it became a principal pattern for the formation of the Occident.
The R/P patterns of the Egyptians and the ancient Greeks were similar, except that the Greeks established four intermediary viewpoints and thus a contrary field within contrary fields, which brought about a R/P mode that was to become renown as rationalism (after the Latin ratio = calculation) and to give birth to the philosophers and geometricians who separated the fields and assigned one to psyche and one to soma (or spirit & body mind & matter), turning them into the cornerstones of a polarisation-dynamic that was going to shape with the help of religion and science the occidental cultures.
In 1904 appeared the threefold Book of the Law LIBER AL VEL LEGIS.
LAL reveals that these Dualisms become reciprocal as soon as they reach their particular limits, thus bringing about a self-complementing unit, in the following called SelfConsciousNess.
The simultaneous Inter/Extrapolation of its R/P-equations (for convenience sake numbered 2-8, 3-7, 4-6) is envisioned spherical and depicted as the following:
(sorry, not able to upload the graphic)
In LAL the inter/extrapolation (indicated by the doted wave or spiral) is represented by Had and the space (sphere) of its realisation by Nu the Egyptian goddess of All, which makes Had to the measure of the phenomena (Khabs) that manifest in the Selfrealisation-dynamic (Khu) of ConsciousNess.
(Khabs is also translated as body and Khu as light)
LAL I & II are dedicated to Nu & Had, whereas Ra Hoor Khu, the Theban god of war, embodies in Book III the polarisation-dynamic of ConsciousNess. He is the mythological (graphic: geometrical) twin (double) of Hoor-Paar-Kraat, who is now the transformation moment (5) of his brothers contrary R/P (10-01) and thus the Point of View of SelfConsciousNess.
Ra-Hoor-Khu introduces himself in LAL III-3 also as a god of vengeance, because in dualism self-realisation is a two-way-dynamic that correlates in the cognition: I am what I do ~ I do what I am (i.e.) I reflect what I project ~ I project what I reflect thus annihilating its innate contradictions.
This self-complementary unit is in LAL called a star, symbolizing a microcosm that relates a macrocosm. Macrocosm is the inter/extrapolation-sphere of the stars, or microcosms. The force of their inter/extrapolation is Love under Will, and the formula of their R/P equation is 101 (LAL: eleven).
The R/P poles of this continuum interrelate in 3 phases. 4~6 is here interpret as cognition, 3~7 as understanding and 2~8 as (Self) knowledge, while the (doted) zero indicates the circumference of the pole relativity 1~1, the sphere (or dimension) wherein micro & macrocosm unite.
The time/space of their interactivity is Now/Here and it is the task of every man/woman to formulate and thus realize Oneself according to his/her Will and Love.
(* The particular spelling is to emphasize the relativity of Conscious: purposeful, aware and Ness: being, existence)
Reflections & Projections are time/space relativities of the inter/extrapolation of ConsciousNess.
There are three principal Reflection/Projection modes the alternating, whose manifestations complement each other the contrary, where they contrast each other the dualistic R/P, whose manifestations appear separate.
The alternating R/P is typical for the Orient, whereas the contrary R/P has been dominating the Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Hellenic cultures and became the foundation of the dualistic R/P that determines the Occident and its cultures.
(Orient & Occident represent here R/P systems as well as cerebral & global hemispheres)
Every R/P mode has a characteristic time/space and corresponding life- & death rites.
In the alternating R/P the dissolving body (soma) is left to earth, fire, water or air, while the psyche is kept alive with rituals particularly where it is believed to be essential for the re-incarnation of the soma aspect.
In the contrary R/P the body receives a space, or room, furnished with life-utensils, while (notably in Egypt) symbols and data-cards (Stele) are employed to keep the diseased present. With the doubling of the R/P field, that space is perceives as another world (or dimension) wherein the deceased has to justify his existence to the gods in charge of it i.e. of the measures and values it is composed of.
In Dualism the times & spaces of the living & the dead are not only divided, but also fractured by the counter-dynamics of its R/P fields. Thus the dead wind up in heavens above and hells below, while the spaces of the living get subdivided into sections for you & me, pasts & futures, inner & outer worlds, one for psyche and one for soma, in short: times & spaces for everything they fear from death and hope from it as well, since their existence is not only determined by their fear of death, but also by their fear of life.
Existence is lust and requires strength to bear its joy
In undivided R/P systems the lust & joy of existence are revered with sex, art & war, and in some cultures with the sacrifice of the body to the feast of life. In the Occident, where the separation of life & death culminated in the sacrifice of the son of its god and where the lust & joy of existence got corrupted by a religion that thrives on misery and merchant-emotions, not only lust & joy degenerated, but also the understanding that when the body dissolves, there remains that which is reflected & projected as its life and death.
Thus there is the death of those whose existence is determined by fear & hope and the death of those who associate it with the death of the dogs.
There is the death of the one who consumes himself in the fire of Selfrealisation and there is the dissolution of the one who determines his life as well as his death. To him existence is the Great Ritual and death the crown of it.
Who designs his life with death in sight, can be certain of a rich life as well as of a rich death.
Survival concepts may intensify the experience of existence through emotions like fear & hope but they also confine it into a time/space with a deadly exit.
It is more effective not to try to overcome death, but to overcome the fear of it and most effective by provoking it and driving it to its limits. A method which, by the way, is not only to be applied to that which is feared, but also to that which pleases, since excess leads to Selfrealisation too as long as it is motivated by the Will to be what one is.
Attempts to make the mortal immortal, bring about a dual-creature, that stagnates in its incompatibility.
The term re-birth is in so far fitting, that in the R/P of ConsciousNess its manifestations and their constellations appear to be renewing themselves. And since, in the contrary and the dualistic R/P it is thought necessary to fix their formation- & transformation phases as well, death is brought to life.
The constellations of the manifestations of ConsciousNess are interactive, their reciprocal changes maintain the balance of existence.
The formation- & dissolution phases of the constellations are concurrent.
That constellations appear to come and to go, to be active or passive, to transform, to consume, to attract or to repulse each other, are angles of a R/P determined time/space and thus local aspects of the Selfrealisation process of ConsciousNess.
The ways the interrelations of the constellations of ConsciousNess are observed, reveal also the patterns and dynamics of the observers Selfrealisation attempts.
The large variety of psycho-somatic relativities and the ways they express, affirm & enjoy themselves, demonstrate the innumerable Selfrealisation possibilities of ConsciousNess and its lust & joy of existence.
Existence is to realize ConsciousNess. In the alternating R/P system, existence appears as a change and in the contrary as an action/reaction that triggers in Dualism feedback-emotions (mostly in form of fear) and promotes notions like existence being a fight, or even a will, of survival. However, fear is not will, but weakness, and the concept of a will of survival is a contradiction as (even according to it) the weak do not survive.
To claim that the components of existence eliminate each other in order to survive is to claim that existence destroys itself in order to exist. This (for the dual/linear perspective typical) contradiction impedes the awareness that the combination possibilities of existence are infinite.
ConsciousNess is a self-complementary continuum stimulated by Will & Love.
Will is the force of manifestation and Love the force that relates (unites) the manifested.
Will & Love are complementary and thus the strong force of ConsciousNess.
The force of Will & Love expresses as harmony, beauty & joy the lack of it as discontinuity, sadness and filth.
The force of Will & Love might be measured through weaknesses, but woe him who tries to measure it.
Where Will is divided, weaknesses arise.
Will can not be willed, as there are no two Wills.
Will has no cause, nor can it be deduced from effects Will is cause and effect, both are united through Love.
Will is absolute unless subjected to moral & purpose, or otherwise fixed in time/space.
Seeking the origins of Will and the construction plans of creation is seeking to avoid self-responsibility.
There is lots of talk about free will probably motivated by the hope to get wishes fulfilled but where there is Will there is neither wish nor hope.
Will & Love is also the force of imagination & inspiration both are essential for self-design and have to be as Will & Love unlimited.
Everyone is (or should be) his own creator and has thus infinite self-design possibilities each of them having, when motivated by the Will & Love to realize oneself, the potential to bring about a self-image wherein all creations complement each other.
There is active and passive self-design, the active projects and the passive reflects a self-image, both complement each other through Will & Love.
In the reflection Will & Love may be localized (reasoned, moralized, etc), but that brings about reaction-images which are not complementary.
In the projection is no space for reasons & morals however there might be a lack of Will & Love that weakens the reflection.
To weak self-images, strong projections may appear as a threat but that should not restrain the projection, otherwise the force of Will & Love gets dispersed.
The same happens when the projection is tested, since the test affects the reflection - moreover, there is no test for perfection.
Nor is the projection to be charged with expectations, since they get amplified by the reflection, causing divisions & multiplications which interrupt the interactivity of micro- & macro cosmos and fracture the self-image.
The projection has to be free of expectation, reasons or other restrains, in order to enable the reflection to complement the self-image according to its Will & Love.
Self-design enhances the awareness of the Selfrealisation process. The awareness gets impaired when the self-image lacks lust & joy, is loaded and distorted with emotions, mistreated with causalities & moralities, subjugated to parasitical Selfrealisation-attempts and/or infected by the possession virus.
Disorder arises when the Self-designer, instead of exercising his will, represents and executes the wills of others adopts handed down identity rites or subjugates himself to commercial, religious, ideological and collective identification schemes.
Self-design is subject to Love & Will, the strong force of ConsciousNess. The lack of it could be regarded as a personal debility-period, were there not the many representatives of the weak forces who, for lack of own orders, attach themselves to those of the strong. A relationship (in collective-images represented by rulers and serfs) that seems inevitable, since the strong and the weak forces are complementary and attempts to change this relativity are its balance-mechanisms in order for everything to remain as it is.
But the self-designer ought not to rely on such auto-controls, since he is responsible for every aspect of his order and his weak and their weaknesses are part of it.
One manner of self-design is to arrange the components of the self-image according to their capability to complement each other. In such case it is of little consequence what its reference points are called, or which shapes, scales & quantities they present, since every unity is infinite. Nevertheless, it is recommendable to keep the reference points interchangeable and in small numbers, in order to obtain a flexible and clear self-image.
In rigid structures a reference point might receive disproportionate attributes and thus a priority that provokes comparisons which impede the interactivity of the components and the harmony of the self-image.
Ill ordered self-images may be rearranged with sex and drugs but with care, as sex can alter the pole positions of the psycho-somatic relativity, whereas every drug has a particular potential and amplifies the intentions it is taken with.
Drugs can also be used to stimulate the imagination that helps furnishing the self-image which ought to be splendorous, as it intensifies the awareness.
When motivated by the lust & joy of existence, self-design takes place Here/Now and has thus unlimited possibilities.
To claim a self-image being objectively true, is a lie and a fatal one, not because it hides an objective truth as some of its gurus claim but because it paralyses the creativity and makes the creator a victim, or prisoner, of his creation.
Self-design with the help of teachers and teachings seems to be the easiest, but is more complicated, since most of them have rules & restrictions regarding Selfrealization, not to mention, that every teacher has & represents a particular self-image. Moreover, how is one to realize oneself through the images of others, if ones does not know ones own? And there is of course the risk of getting caught in parasitic images and in the traps of self-denial that is: to be something else than one is.
One cannot change oneself but one can realize oneself.
The notion of changing oneself is self-denial and most common in Dualism, because of its presumption, that the viewpoints which relate its manifestations, are having different time/space positions. A misconception that leads due to the counter-dynamics of the (dualistic) R/P fields to the assumption that one could be different than one is, and that one state of existence is imperfect and another better or at least: more advantageous.
There are more perverse ways of self-denial, like the Judaic/Christian concept of Homo being the crown of a creation whose aim it is, that he subjugates its manifestations and thus himself.
Another currently popular self-denial is the Occidental evolution- & selection dogma despite that it should lead, according to its own logic, to the realisation that every man & woman is what he/she projects/reflects and that therefore no one can be elevated or put down, improve, worsen or otherwise be changed.
The, in every R/P system common (because most simple) manner of self-denial, is the causality concept, according to which a manifestation is either the cause, or the effect of another manifestation. A notion that not only undermines the self-response-ability of Homo, but makes him to a victim as well, even more so, when he tries to find causes for his existence and begins to reason it and thus himself.
Every R/P system has its particular ways of dealing with reasons, and quite often also problems in dealing with the reasoning of other systems. At least thats one of the reasons why Occidental thinkers categorically reject, and at times even attack, the ways their Oriental colleagues handle reason or get around it, like Taoists and the logicians of Zen.
Reason is a closed circuit, as it compels to reason itself and thus to invent respective reasons, triggering a division/multiplication process which often determines the search for oneself and at times the identity rites of an entire culture.
Reason becomes fatal when Homo tries to reason his existence in order to confirm his interpretations of it, because this leads to an intellectual fundamentalism which justifies its thereby growing walls with its own reasons and deprives their builders (and victims) of the possibility to question them, by declaring them as their sole meaning and purpose. Nevertheless, reason might when driven to its own limits lead to the cognition that the entrance to its labyrinth is its exit as well.
Order arises from Will & Love disorders take place where this strong force of ConsciousNess is lacking.
There are no by chance orders. There are the manifestations of the alternating and of the contrary R/P modes and the, in time & space scattered, manifestations of Dualism (which sometimes do seem to relate to each other by chance). And then there is the Point of View of the R/P equation, the unknown factor of its manifestations, which cannot be known, i.e. reflected/projected, without fracturing their order.
Disorder is a discontinuity-field, or phase, which disappears as soon as its components are transferred to, or absorbed by a unity.
Unity comprises multiplicity and a corresponding number of possibilities to realize itself. When the possibilities are differentiated, multiplicity is established.
Unity cannot be measured, but only cognized and understood. The unities of measurements are half-measures that can be added up and concealed with unity-terms, but such Selfrealisation-attempts are self-deceptions as they veil the quintessence of unity and thus of SelfConsciousNess.
The dimension of unity can neither be related nor located but only be experienced.
Dimensions that can be related, are division/multiplication abstructs. They may serve to focus on unity, but cannot effect it, since its time/space is not extended wherefore unity disappears when manipulated.
When dualistic R/P modes reach their (linear) limits, a (non-linear) inter/extrapolation takes place whose equation is the cognition: I am what I do I do what I am (or) I reflect what I project I project what I reflect.
This cognition (graph: 4-6) is complemented by the phase-equation of understanding (3-7) and the one of self-knowledge (2-8). Their interactivity constitutes the continuum of SelfConsciousNess (indicated with 10-01 i.e. 1O1).
The entire process is revealed in LAL III by the formula abrahadabra when the letters of abra are replaced by numbers (1-2-18-1) and their sum 22 (44) is superimposed on the 4 (8) poles of the R/P fields of Dualism. Their interactivity reveals the pole relativity of had (8-1-4) whose sum (13) corresponds to achad the cabalistic term for unity.
LAL contains a series of ordeals that are based on the three R/P systems and activated through the interactivity of its three books and their particular word- & letter combinations. This enables everyone to relate himself according to his particular perspectives and circumstances and eliminates the possibility to draw comparisons between the stars, which is important, as every star is a unity and the totality of stars an order of complementary unities of which each one is an order.
LAL is to navigate the continuum of SelfConsiousNess - but not to console the whims & woes of Homo.
Homo searches everywhere for the cause of his woes, except in his psycho-somatic relativity, as he might have to alter its pole constellations, which would require efforts he prefers to invest into the cultivation of his woes, since they seem to make him feel conscious.
Solutions to the problems of Homo are not to be found in his psychic (mental) or somatic (physical) aspects, but in their interactivity i.e. in the way he deals with himself.
When Homo is overwhelmed by psycho-somatic dispolarisation, he tends to become hostile to existence.
Polarisation denotes a constellation of R/P-poles that relates itself in a Point of View, whereas dis-polarisation indicates their disorder.
That Homo´s views and interpretations of existence do recur, is not because they contain basic truths, as he likes to believe, but because he uses for his Selfrealisation-attempts the same patterns over and over again. And when thereby also that recurs which has disappeared in his amnesia periods, he believes that All is recurrent.
Homo tries to unite with his kind since he is aware of it but in vain as long as he does not acknowledge it (i.e. mankind) being integral to himself. The acknowledgement comes through Will & Love and is an aspect of Self-knowledge.
Where Conscious & Ness (Existence) are handled separately, the psycho-somatic relativity is usually divided into Beast & Homo and the latter tries to identify, formulate & assert himself by means of discrimination, oppression and eradication of the former. And since with his civilization-projects his identity-problems grow as well, Homo degrades everyone as a beast (primitive, aborigine) who manages his existence without analyzing, dissecting and categorizing himself in order to assemble from the fragments an identity. Which Homo has not managed yet either nor the elimination of his beast. In contrary considering the obstinacy with which it attacks his religious & moral abstructs, wrecks his societies and wages wars with ever more & vicious weapons it seems to be bend to eliminate its host.
As Homo cannot make peace with his Beast, without losing an adversary on whom he has built most of his self-concepts & -conceits, he searches for parallels in his perverted imaginations & interpretations of animal-beasts, to find reasons & excuses for his behaviour and, last not least, to escape responsibility through generalizations a method he has been using to justify and to transfer his vices and weaknesses, since he has become aware of them. However, generalization leads also in Dualism back to its originator, which is probably why his Theo- socio- psychologists try to isolate the space between its R/P fields (some call it hell, third-world & sub-consciousness) and to use it as a hiding place, or garbage dump, for everything whose return he fears. A risky method, as it eliminates the responsibility, but not the contents and their relativities which, thus unattended, can unfold dynamics that corrupt the virtues which have served his Selfrealisation-attempts.
Courage, steadfastness and flexibility, are virtues which assist the performance of existence and thus the realisation of ConsciousNess.
These virtues turn into vices, where (notably in the Occident) cannon-fodder is considered courageous, civil servants firm, brave the working class hero, flexible the opportunists, righteous the blind and virtuous those who serve the powers of the weak. And power gets corrupted too, by those who consider it to be a danger to their weaknesses, as well as by the weak who try to gain power through them.
Which is not to say that power has become obsolete in contrary, there is a growing epidemic of so called world-, market-, media- & other powers of the powerless, who seem to thrive on the hope that weakness + weakness = power, from where probably stems also the notion of a will to power, which is, besides perverting will as well as power because will is power no more but a wishful thinking of the weak, that more often than not drives them into wars.
But war is obviously not limited to the weak forces of ConsciousNess, as there have been plenty of cultures who practiced it without religious, moral, economical, racist, political or ideological excuses, but worshipped in view of their gods, arts & epics war as an expression of ConsciousNess and their powerful and mighty as representatives of its lust and joy of existence.
Power implies capability and the performance of existence requires a capability that is associated with pride, which in turn connotes a nobility that manifests in dignity & generosity characteristics that have enabled the beast to create splendorous cultures and at the same time to appreciate the capabilities of animal beasts. As a matter of fact, many cultures praised the capabilities and characteristics of animal beasts as well as of wind, water, volcanoes, trees, planets and other aspects of existence in temples, myths and works of art, as expressions of ConsciousNess.
But the praising of that which is (existence) corrupted to a pricing of what Homo would like to have i.e. to be so that nowadays everything has gotten a price, which not only perverts the manifestations of Consciousness, but their interrelationships as well, and degrades existence to a marketplace where Homo commercialises everything he can lay hands on his women and children included.
In every R/P system the projection has been given male and the reflection female attributes. Thus, when man tried to reflect his origin, it became a female goddess, or mother nature, and when, in order to assert himself, he began to project the male attributes into his intermediate viewpoint, he became the origin of all evil and woman the sufferer of it.
Classic examples are the marriage of Osiris/Horus & Isis and the (god) father/son relationship of Christianity, where Mary had to pay for their identity crisis and woman became the altar of the schizophrenias of man. And still is despite his equal-rights-propaganda because the only right he concedes is for her to adapt to his preconceptions and to let herself accordingly be treated, traded, evaluated and of course be blamed for his failures, since it is shame with which he has chained her in all cultures, ages and R/P systems to his schemes especially those of his confused loves and sexes.
It was in the Orient where the awareness emerged, that psycho-somatic dispolarisations are also brought about by ill handling of sex, and that they can be remedied with it as well and, moreover, that sex can also be useful to achieve SelfConsciousNess. Consequently oriental cultures developed sexual techniques to restore and to maintain the psycho-somatic balance and health (which are interdependent too).
In the beginning of the 20th century the British OTO (Ordo Templis Orientis) introduced, under the guidance of Aleister Crowley, a selection of respective techniques and rites into the Occident, in order to rearrange its fractured and confused consciousnesses and to mend the discrepancies between its males and females. A formidable task, considering the morals and demonizing sex had suffered during two millennia of Christianity.
Notwithstanding, it took only a few decades for this wonderful tool to get widely appreciated and thus into new problems. Because the popularization of sex brought also the merchants along, and thus an opportunistic and uncritical proliferation of methods and treatises that had already gotten mistreated by Hindu puritans and Victorian translators. And then there came those, who in the name of science, analysed, rationalized & banalized sex, followed by the ones who politicized it, in order to redistribute their problems and of course to the burden of the woman.
That females prefer strong sex-partners is interpret by (male) scientists as being fundamental for the procreation of the fittest (male) genes, ignoring that it might be the promise of a good orgasm, which is usually accompanied by the experience of unity.
Sexual energy arises from the polarization of the male & female poles of the psycho-somatic relativity.
In the alternating and the contrary R/P, the male & female poles are considered to be complementary and Love to be the force of their relativity.
In Dualism, i.e. in the Occident and its Christianity, love is represented by a dove that flutters between god & man and heaven & earth and just as fluttery are the loves of its males and females. The high- & low flights given to them by its poets, are rarely more but attempts to promote their emotions as binding forces - manoeuvres to hide their divisions and disorders.
The varieties of the sexual practices of homo correspond to his psycho-somatic dis-polarisations, and where he dispolarises himself with the feedback-mechanism of the intellect he tends to downgrade sex as an evolution-mechanism.
It is recommendable to design the sexual act according to ones Love & Will and to perform it with every man & woman and preferably ritualistically, because rituals further the concentration and the enthusiasm (Greek: full of God) and thus SelfConsciousNess and last not least: the joy of existence.
Worship existence is a major demand of LAL and a topical one, since existence has become a commodity for attempts to realize oneself through possessions.
Such attempts can be found in every R/P system. In the alternating, they are usually put at the service of its collectives, which in turn reward him, who tries to realize himself in such manner, with a reputation that seems to give him an identity. Hence the Orient brought fourth cultures which were able to sustain themselves without immoderate copying & looting.
In the contrary R/P system, attempts to realize oneself through possessions brought about object- & people cults, of whom many were to become models for the Occident, which thus was never able to achieve an identity, but instead developed outstanding copying & ransacking skills that lead to an overabundance of viewpoints & objects more so, since in Dualism the possession-relationship turns into an auto-division/multiplication of subject & object.
In the Orient these possibilities were obviously latent too, considering its innumerable thinkers who tried to regulate the possession-complex with social & political constructs and to restrain it with philosophies, religions & cosmologies. Whereas in the Occident there have with the exception of categorical denials almost no countermeasures been taken. And its thinkers reacted if at all only when the fusions & fissions of the possession-complex effected extraordinary disturbances in its collectives and thus threatened the mirror rooms of the thinkers. And even then, they confined their responses to distribution- & redistribution theories, which as division/multiplication variants were unable to restrain this process, or to turn it into a self-sufficient relationship. Which in any case would have been quite difficult, as its positions and values change erratically and are moved by emotions that are obviously stronger than the reasons the thinkers boast of, considering their readiness to succumb to the possession complex, to promote it as a progress & law of nature and to encourage its commercial & political executive to export and to impose it upon other cultures. Of course no longer with colonial methods, which are in the age of globalization obsolete, since the possession complex engenders plentiful medias to infect and to corrupt them with liberal-, economic, democratic- & whatever suitable ideologies.
Might be its promoters hope that if the possession-complex takes over their entire world, there will be no space left for other abstructs and thus a kind of unity and order might take place. If so, no one seems to contemplate of what such order might consist certainly not the values & measures that have constituted the possession-complex, as they are deteriorating too.
Moreover, the frantic outpour of updates, substitute schemes, statistics, consumer values & market strategies, their rapidly shrinking half-lives and the proportional increasing helplessness & disorientation of its servants, indicate that the possession-complex is about to devour itself.
Homo bases most of his deeds & concepts on emotions despite his awareness (in all epochs, regions & R/P systems) that emotions enslave him and moreover endanger his existence by inciting him to wars and other forms of suicide.
(Emotions are considered to be time/space motions of the Reflections/Projections and thus to be weak forces of ConsciousNess)
That Homo favors emotions in his strive to realize himself, is probably because they seem to relate him in time/space and thus to verify his existence.
Like all his weaknesses, Homo justifies his emotions too, claiming that they are essential for his survival as well as for being human, which might be also the reason for his belief that emotions make up a person (Latin: mask of actor). A belief which has reached religious scales, considering that all the lost, the losers & those who want to play a role in life, make with the help of media & commerce ever more spectacles of their emotions, thus turning them into the most popular & successful self-deception-tool of modern times.
Despite being weak forces of ConsciousNess, emotions can also influence the interrelationships of its manifestations to such a degree that a particular time/space appears to be dominated by particular emotions and particular emotions to be typical for a particular epoch and region.
The most misleading emotions in regard to Selfrealisation are wishes & desires as, being substitutes of Will & Love, they stir the belief of Homo to be able to be something else than he is: a dispolarisation-field, which thus gets boosted and eventually brings about those wish- & escape-cultures whose inevitability he tries to cover up with progress-ideologies. A danger that is not new, considering Buddhas efforts to get rid of wishes & desires and those of Confucius who tried to direct them to the welfare of the collective. That both failed, is mostly because the followers of Buddha tried to transcend them, while those of Confucius tried to benefit from them. Similar experiments can be also found in the Occident. But they led, due to its dual/linear dynamics, to a proliferation of wishes & desires, until at least since LAL it was considered more effective to legitimate them and to let them loose on their own moral, social and whatever values and abstructs. A brilliant move, because destroying them eliminates also wishes & desires, since they feed on their formations.
Nevertheless, emotions can be useful too when, in face of all that, scorn and anger arise, inflaming the desire to get rid of this ill ordered house (LAL III-11) and if they are joined by pride and the lust to fight, the much the better, as they enable to attack vigorous and joyful all that which obstructs Selfrealisation.
One of the major obstacles is fear, as it impedes the interactivity of psyche & soma, and has thus to be attacked without mercy, and best by doing everything that provokes and drives it to its limits.
Most emotions are escape-motions, which turn into aggression as soon as they approach their limits wherefore it is recommendable to chase the escapee so that he may reach his tail and devour himself.
An emotion definitely to be gotten rid of is commiseration, since sharing the miseries of the weak does not make them stronger nor the one who tries to upgrade himself in such manner.
Hoping to be able to teach the weak is hoping to be able to escape ones own weaknesses.
The strong cannot be a model for the weak, because they do not see him. All they see are the leaders of their weaknesses and only after having them elevated on crosses and monuments.
It is the weak who violate the weak the strong have neither space nor time for such.
Where the weak gather, Life-is-suffering- & commiseration-concepts thrive.
Suffering concepts stem probably from the awareness that every manifestation of ConsciousNess strives to realize itself, and the assumption that it is miserable until it has achieved it.
Suffering is the joy of the divided, and their weaknesses are the strength of its growth.
Sparing the weak inhibits the force of Will & Love.
When Will becomes weak, Love deteriorates to compassion, the breading ground of we-are-all-the-same & same-rights-for-all-ideologies, which are also attempts to unite and to order, but they are illogical, self-deceptive & unpractical - and whats more: they are denials of the individual (Latin: the undivided) and its (only) right (and obligation) to realize itself according to its Love & Will.
Love others like thyself is a contradiction, as it requires knowledge of oneself and where this is there are no others.
Collective-images are used by their designers to define and to confirm themselves and are thus parasitic self-images.
When parasitic self-images reach their particular limits, they devour also those who try to realize themselves this way. And when, in order to avoid such fate, the reflected & the projected are divided, parasitic relationships within parasitic relationships come about and an interdependence that leads to a collective collapse.
That parasitic self-images are more popular than ever and their designers held in high esteem, is because those who dont create own images do serve others a relationship that is cultivated by parasites in order to secure their supplies. In the alternating R/P mode this is quite easy, as they only need to convince those who feed them, that through recycling (reincarnation) they eventually are going to become consumers too. The parasites of the contrary R/P nourish themselves through its contradictions, as these bring fourth more viewpoints (opinions) and respective servants, while simultaneously hiding their parasitic projections & reflections. In Dualism and its linear relationships the latter is hardly needed, since it suffices to declare its parasitic relationships as a genetic, evolutionary or cultural inevitability which is certainly true where the possession- and the parasitic relationships determine a culture. Its growth can be measured by the number of laws with which it tries to regulate its interdependencies and the mutual devouring of its parasites, whereas the reaching of its limits is marked by an exhaustion of its resources, the hyper-production of artifacts and raving consumption.
Having no Point-of-View, collectives relate themselves through the viewpoints of their members. Attempts of the latter to substitute the lacking Point-of-View with a god, a leader or central computer, bring about conglomerates of viewpoints & opinions (famed as culture & civilization) but no unity.
With the complexity of a collective increases also the complexity of its language, at least as far as it serves the orientation- & identification needs of its members. Some claim it to be a symptom of them becoming more civilized and quite right so, since for the non-civilized suffice a few and simple words to relate themselves and their environs, whereas the civilized use lots of words to express their helplessness and lack of orientation.
Communication is in the continuum of ConsciousNess an interactivity of information that is instant. The instantaneousness disappears in time/space, where communication becomes subject to emotions and/or the fragmentations of the intellect, is misused for self-affirmation attempts, the feeding of possession-complexes and of the disinformation-enterprises that flourish (due to the dual/linear dynamics of Dualism) particularly in Occidental collectives and their medias.
Communication is reciprocal i.e. one receives what one gives & vice versa and thus only effective among individuals who complement each other.
It is not the amount of information that determines a communication but its contents, which has to be unity related otherwise communication brings about confusion.
Some collective-designers claim their images to be bound by memory obviously in order to give their collectives a touch of coherency, as there is no known way of memorizing that enables to unite a crowd.
Memory reflects the projection of a reflection. It is mostly used to recall the labels, symbols, terminologies, frameworks and emotions tagged onto the projected, in order to relate, orientate and identify oneself. The repetition of such Selfrealization-attempt effects memory rooms, which turn into labyrinths when their mirrors are not unity-oriented, or/and arranged in accordance with the pole position of the psycho-somatic relativity. Their confusion increases through the time/space-motions of him who tries to relate himself in such manner, as well as through the emotions which infiltrate with the memorized and those which arise during this process.
And there is the in Magic and Oriental cults customary ritual memory, whose mirrors are arranged in patterns that further the Selfrealisation process. It is also used to explore other R/P dimensions, in which case the mirrors are handled like doors.
Collectives are (innately) against the realization of the individual (undivided). The individuals promoted by the psychologists, philosophers, medias and consumer-strategists of Occidental collectives, are actors who lure with the lie that Self-realization may be achieved in their collective.
Collectives have, in all times and spaces, been feeding on the emotions of their members. Simple collectives evoke them with demons & taboos, stimulate them with gods of revenge & sacrifices and refresh them with recycling religions. In more complex collectives, like those of the Occident, emotions are being taken care of by the media responsible for advertisements, fashions, entertainments, the personality designs of their members, their manner of conduct & communication and, last not least, the fomenting of the emotions which support the ideologies & politics of their rulers and undermine critical positions. Yet it would be unfair to blame the rulers of the weak for their weaknesses since they are their representatives. Moreover, there are collective efforts to increase their weaknesses most noticeable in the so called techno-societies, who spare no effort to invent & produce gadgets, which are to take over the life-functions & responsibilities of their members and turn them into programmable and predictable Homos.
In the 18th century, Carl von Linne, a Swedish classifying specialist, came up with a new category of Homo, which he labelled Sapiens wise apparently to distinct it from the former and to give it a superior touch. If so, erroneously, as being wise was applied to the one who has common sense and relates himself through his particular Point of View, or as the priest of Ptah put it through the cognition of his heart. Whereas Sapiens being a product of Dualism has neither common sense nor an individual (undivided) Point of View, wherefore he tries (unsuccessfully) to relate himself with the help of a feedback-mechanism called intellect.
In Dualism intellect acts as a double-feedback mechanism which, when applied to the therefrom emanating viewpoints, becomes a division/ multiplication process (renown as rationalism), that brings about a dual-linear procession of viewpoints, but no self- i.e. unity-related position.
Attempts to inhibit this process(ion) through a 3rd position, or virtual viewpoint, can be found in the alternating and contrary R/P system as well, but both contain the possibility of an identification with this viewpoint and thus of an integration of the others. Whereas in the Geometry of Dualism, this position, or viewpoint, appears separate as well and thus initiates, in conjunction with the intellect, an auto-fragmentation process.
Greek philosophers & geometricians, who already encountered this process, expected it to be limited by a Smallest and a Largest, and thus bring about a union of micro- & macrocosm. These hopes got thwarted by Sapiens, when he placed the intellect into his cerebellum and thus made himself to the center of the fragmentation process, whose dual linear dynamic forces him to carry it on into opposite directions, which led him so far to the two Smallest that mark the boundaries of his uni(or di)verse but not to the end of the fragmentation process, as each of these Smallest is a time/space-event of it. Moreover, he furthers this process, by furnishing each of the events (which are actually the same) with attributes & measurements, in order to fix them (and the process) and to place them at its (hopefully smallest) beginnings.
Sapiens calls the procession of viewpoints evolution and claims it to be a principle of nature ignoring that it estranges him from the psycho-somatic relativity of Homo and the environs (Nature) he emerged from and that it turns him into a freak who exploits, plunders & rapes his mother. A perversion which he tries to justify with Genesis & Genetics, evolution & survival dogmas, while dismissing her reactions or what he calls natural disasters as errors & accidents of an unconscious mechanism despite biological evidence that every organism rejects intruders who endanger its balance & health.
If evolution & survival were basic principles of existence, Sapiens would and could not make so many efforts to ruin it. Yet, since existence is to realize Conscious Ness, he might also be subject of an annihilation of the aberrations of its Self-realization process. An aspect Sapiens obviously is not aware of, since he stuffs his children with the reasons, beliefs & vices he suffers, luring them with games and entertainments into his consumption circuits and forcing them to spend their youth in indoctrination camps were they are taught to justify, feed, sublimate & globalize his Self-deception.
Sapiens is not an evolution but a confusion of ConsciousNess.
The orders of Sapiens are disorders that interrupt the interactivity of the manifestations of ConsciousNess.
With adjectives like objective & real, Sapiens tries to legitimize his dualistic perspective and its virtual viewpoint.
Having difficulties with superimposing one of his realities onto another one i.e. replacing an illusion that he considers a reality with another one Sapiens tries to convert his surroundings and the nature of the psycho-somatic relativity he has emerged from, into symbols, numbers & formulas and to transplant them into the time/space of his dualistic perspective.
It would be a drag if there were an absolute reality a la Sapiens, since he is not only self-restrictive, but also self-destructive, which in turn is an aspect of the auto-division/ multiplication of the Dualism he represents.
There are probably as many realities as there are R/P possibilities, and perhaps as many attempt to confine, or to exclude one or the other in order to fix the psycho-somatic relativity and thereby to relate oneself.
To differentiate and to compare realities are mirror-games, since they are aspects of one and the same process that only differs in its particular perspectives.
Sapiens regards the growing numbers and complexities of his views & opinions as growth of ConsciousNess, but ConsciousNess is only in so far quantitative that it contains All and herein such measurements disappear.
Trying to cover every aspect of ConsciousNess with his evolution-cloud, Sapiens deprives himself of experiencing the Here/Now of existence and thus buries himself alive.
Sapiens has gotten into the habit of blaming Homo for his own incompetent & incoherent self-realization attempts.
By backdating his birth 300000 years, Sapiens claims authority to discredit the histories of Homo who (for example) imagined himself having eaten apples in the garden of Eden and strolling with beautiful women through splendorous palaces as fictions and to depict him as a dark primitive creature which spends its life caves, gnawing bones and clubbing its neighbors. Thus Sapiens not only discredits his own progress, he therewith tries to demonstrate, but also demolishes a manner of self-design which has served Homo throughout his ages. Probably unintentional, as there is no indication that Sapiens has become aware of the time-space-relationships of his stories and thus has no more use for them. In contrary, he seems to become increasingly dependent on them, considering the flood of stories he spins about his uni- & di-verses, about earth, flora, fauna and of course about himself not to mention his innumerable scientific undertakings to prove that each version is the ultimate, the true & real one.
Sapiens calls his stories (histories) objective, despite that they are, according to his separate viewpoint, subjective at least until his dual/linear views meet in the infinite. In such case it is no longer a time/space history, but a Here/Now event.
It is doubtful if Sapiens is ever going to realize Unity, as he fragmentizes with increasing fervor everything he can lay his mind and hands on most notably nature, whom he mistreats in every conceivable way, thus not only undermining his life-foundation, but his self-realization-possibilities as well.
Due to his dual setup, Sapiens treats his surroundings as being separate and is thus bound to analyse them a bondage he glorifies as science.
One of the tasks of the sciences of Sapiens is to transform his offences against the laws of the gods of Homo into laws of nature, probably hoping thus to excuse his abominable behaviour and to justify his pretence of being her governor.
Science is to record the interrelationship of the manifestations of ConsciousNess. When science isolates a manifestation and treats it as an autonomous phenomena, quest becomes its drive, and as the time/space between the searcher and the object of search is determined by the prior, the latter stays (despite being present) mostly hidden, which brings about more searches (and re-searches) and many of the preposterous abstructs which disfigure the landscape of ConsciousNess and are adored as monuments of science.
Isolating a manifestation inhibits the cognition that it is an in-formation which reveals the point of view that relates it.
The constellations of the manifestations of ConsciousNess are complementary, their reciprocal changes i.e. interactivity maintain the balance of existence.
Existence is to realize ConsciousNess not to improve or to repair any of its aspects. That Occidental scientists try to proof the opposite (& themselves) is foolish, because thus they not only isolate the observed, but the observer (i.e. themselves) as well. Isolation is a time/space inversion, and quite a few cultures which made such arrogance to their measure and credo have disappeared in it.
Occidental science tries to bind that which it divides and thus thrives best in Dualism.
Occidental scientists cherish the feedback mechanism of the intellect, as it seems to reassure a manifestation and, when applied repeatedly, even to be able to fix it apparently not noticing that isolating manifestations interrupts their interactivity.
Occidental science uses evolution theory and its procreation- & survival variants to conceal its discontinuities.
Progress- & evolution ideologies are symptomatic for the dispolarisation and disintegration of psycho-somatic relativities. The merging with fellow-sufferers (or fellows of creed) might alter the time/space conditions of the decay, but not its dynamics, which may be compared to those of the black holes of astrophysics except that not objects, but their interrelationships disappear.
Some sciences try to recover abstructs which have disappeared in the holes of collective amnesia and other escapisms, ignoring that when a manifestation dissolves, its time/space disappears as well.
Occidental philosophies claim to have established truth and reality, and Occidental sciences to have proven and confirmed them. Both ignore those of the Orient the philosophers because they cant comprehend them, and the scientists because the truths & realities of the Orient dont need scientific confirmations, since subject & object, i.e. the creator & the created, complement each other in the alternating R/P system.
Oriental sciences managed for thousands of years to keep their micro- & macrocosm with a few elements like fire, water, air & earth in balance, while Chinese thinkers constructed with the two lines of the I-Ching a framework which accommodated a more or less auto-sufficient and enduring culture.
The micro- & macrocosms of the Occident are mere accumulations of incoherent ideas bound by the illusive realities (or relativities) of its Dualism.
Occidental scientists crown this pandemonium and themselves with dynamite (Nobel) laurels, involuntarily reminding, that they are loading it with enough explosives to blow it up for good. A possibility which frequently threatens to become a reality and as it contradicts their evolution & survival ideologies - receives innumerable excuses & explanations, except that it might be a short circuit, or the ultimate ratio, of a (literally) Self-destructive abstruct.
LAL calls it ill ordered house, but penitentiary (from penance: self-punishment) would be suitable too, considering the legions of technologists who, under the guidance of science, construct myriads of apparatuses & instruments to optimize/ improve its walls, which are guarded by philosophers & ideologists who justify, glorify & universalize its fatality, not to mention the anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists & other repair-logists, who try to make it escape proof and all of them with such blind faith & zeal, that no one seems to notice, that this monstrosity is about to reach its critical mass (mess) and thus might according to the gravity of its sciences collapse as well.
But all these scenarios even those of gradual change are subject to the polarization-dynamic of ConsciousNess.
As Dualism approaches its innate limits, the polarization-dynamic intensifies and accelerates the division/multiplication and fragmentation of its manifestations.
The polarization-dynamic is not a blind force, since LAL III introduces Ra-Hoor-Khu also as a war god who makes it a personal affair to attack that which impedes and to promote that which enforces Selfrealisation.
Every R/P system, epoch, culture & generation brings fourth warriors to cleanse and fortify itself. They appear in drabs of saints, uniforms of generals or cloaks of magicians, their weapons are swords, letters, mantras, invocations, mathematical formulas, as well as electric guitars and Molotov cocktails.
The warrior is to counteract the proliferation (or globalization) of weaknesses i.e. to stabilize the equation of strong & weak forces.
The complexities & corruptions of Dualism call for the use of guerrilla tactics and that the he operates alone and from a position which he keeps secret and which serves as his retreat to study the weaknesses and traps of his opponents. He may use their deception tactics and tricks to confuse them, but his attack ought to be precise and swift like a snake. He has to pay attention not to rush past his target, or to idle in it, but to retreat in the same manner and without leaving unnecessary (e.g.: personal) traces.
He ought not to return to the target of his attack in order to reassure his success, because an act that is questioned is incomplete, i.e. imperfect.
He has to avoid open confrontation (like argumentation), nor should he try to convert, seek followers, or play hero.
The warrior is not to attack Dualism, but its ill breeding. He is to be guided by Love & Will and if he chooses by the Egyptian war god, but not by his desire for revenge, as it is to stir the fires of the weak and of their weaknesses, which the warrior lightens so that they may purify themselves (and their gods!)

All our deeds, emotions, thoughts, creeds and whatever else we are trying to relate ourselves with are expression of Consciousess which thus exercises its possibilities in order to realize itself.
The idea that consciousness realizes itself is a satisfying reflection/projection for one situated within duality seeking to define ones purpose within the thoughts and ideas of consciousness.
When one explores the infinite within the experiences of unity, and becomes more familiar with consciousness.., one begins to realize the infinite... being infinite... will not of itself seek to define itself or realize itself as something, nothing or infinite. Only the personality that still anchors itself in duality will climb the rungs of a ladder to describe its experience of ascending the ladder.
Such an ascent is left to the minds of man to interpret and extrapolate the path(s) of ascent.
Consciousness has no where to go within the infinite to become infinite or a need to degrade itself by assuming a role and getting lost within the role, any more than most have thoughts and feelings and fragment themselves permanently losing bits and pieces of themselves in each and every thought feeling and action.
Whether the Ancient Egyptians as descendants of Atlantis and Lemuria held any special keys to the ascent above and beyond the saints and earthly Gods of Greece, Asia or any other continent within time is relative to special interest.
That was one long freaking post
I had to start skimming just to get to the end to see if you had a point... Sorry but it still eludes me. Perhaps you might tell me exactly what you wanted to convey here.

Brilliantly argued, Joesus! I am glad it is noticeable that this "long freaky post" (took me many years to compose it) is about "ascending (or descending) the ladder", about duality and ways of handling it without without taking refuge in infinity.

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain... then there is.
Ever read "Siddharta" by Hermann Hesse?
Sometimes taking refuge (metaphorically) within the infinite is what a person needs in order to gain the contrast necessary to understand duality. In reality the mind that lives in duality whether enlightened or not cannot escape the dual nature of experience regardless of any state of mind. Experience can only operate within the dual nature of opposites. Actually, there is no infinite without the finite, cold without hot, high without low etc. There is no experience of the infinite that can capture or encompass the infinite, so really there is no such thing as an experience of the infinite or the ability to get lost or take refuge in the infinite that is not initiated thru free will and the need to follow a course in which contrast is created for growth.
The mind can certainly know of the infinite and as such create experiences around what one senses is real, but then all is relative to how the senses operate.
The issues most create for themselves is in the projections of what something should look like according to personal belief/conditioning and running karmic programs created prior to birth or at levels outside of space and time (as most know it), within consciousness itself, which creates space and time (as we experience it thru personality)... or duality.
Since the approach is unique to each individual there is no rule in which outcomes are superior.., to consciousness (the infinite). Only at relative levels where instruction is needed to guide one out of any boxes that are self created do we create superior outcomes.
The scripts of personal realities are written at levels far superior to linear thinking and or cognitive functions that are sequestered to any single reality. There are multiple dimensions, alternate realities, and as you described unity, all are connected.
The level at which it is separated and kept distinct in order to keep each personality from blending into another and losing the distinctions of experience and flavor generally escapes the waking state mind and the ego. One has to let the mind wander outside of the box in order to cognize the immensity of Self, by re-tuning the subtle senses, which are generally atrophied by the time one reaches puberty.
It cannot be done while isolating ones self within the ideas of personal projections.
Without someone who has walked the walk to bounce things off of there is no contrast or stimulation to objectivity.
Problem is.. pride gets in the way and there is no giving in to anything that attacks the personal ideals and beliefs, keeping one bound to a path of self/ego referral. Which is programmed thinking created by the parents influence and attachment to media gods and the inability to think for ones self thanks to government created educational systems and the apathetic involvement of the waking state ego to improve upon ones self unless it is to realign ones thinking to popular belief systems of social media, government policy or religious belief.
In the bigger picture, those who isolate themselves within any system of thought follow a script anyway, so there are no real problems within the world and none to save. One can only effect change in ones self thru free will. To recognize truth above and beyond illusion, and the nature of ones Self as both Consciousness and a reflection of that, when looking thru the eyes and experiences of personality.
The best way to help others, is to help yourself. Since all is intimately connected wherever you go, you bring the change you want to create by bringing it with you, fully exposed for those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

Epilogue to Consciousness
Another view of Consciousness has been criticized for being based on the Egyptian pantheon, but (nearly) all cosmologies would have served, as they present principal patterns of human consciousness.
The use of aphorisms and contradiction techniques, common to Zen, should make it obvious that these texts are not intended for devotees of linear logic and traditional philosophical reference frames. The occasional polemic assaults against customary social & moral bulwarks are to offend their defenders - but are of little consequences, since they will have disappeared by the time these texts reach their principal destination: the members of civilizations to come.
All civilizations do eventually disappear, usually through internal corruption sometimes under outside pressure, in rare instances through suicide. The western civilization is not only decaying, but shows suicidal tendencies as well, considering the increasing ingenuity with which its Sapiens rapes and plunders the organism that bears and feeds him.
Latter aspect is probably going to determine the progression of its decline, as there will be billions of people running out of food and water and, since people do easily panic in critical situations, thus can be expected to use the enormous amounts of conventional & ABC weapons which Sapiens is spreading around the world.
It is hard to imagine how someone, who (since 1750) crowns himself with the Latin term sapiens (reasonable, wise) could have become such a nut; he apparently asks himself the same question, at least it would explain his late endeavors to digitize his mind - which shouldnt be very difficult, considering the similarity of the R/P and the 0/1 process but futile, as long as he runs on mostly outdated programs which are full of social, moral, religious, emotional etc. viruses, and thus in need of a thorough overhaul, a task he seems not be willing to undertake.
Nevertheless, the above texts (and others, published by waechter418 in wordpress) contain respective formulas and suggestions.
(a good warrior never gives up:-)

I'm not a Professor, and hope I could provide some suggestive opinions.
1. Our minds or our Intelligence systems work differently with varied types, and they work as a mixed whole together, even in the sub-system.
2. The core of the cognization is the contrast, and the consciousness finally composed by our brains are actually our acess to the world and relatively-advanced reaction. One good example is our night dreams.
3. Our dreams, even the dreams we planed in our brains, is a reflection of our mind or intelligence system, might as per the combination of the daily working rules and emergency rules.

When Martha complained to Jesus about her sister Mary sitting at His feet while Martha was busy serving, Jesus told her that Martha had made the right choice. Although it often seems otherwise, it is worth it to set aside time to just listen to the Lord by reading His Word. So try this: assign yourself a doable Bible reading challenge, and spend regularly scheduled time, not in study, but just reading and praying.
The Church is a spiritual community. It is not just something you attend, use, support or interact with, but something you become. Be the church by worshipping the Lord and serving humanity.

Here are the readings from "Read the Word":
Luke 10:38-42
Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving.
And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me."
But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."
Secrets of Heaven 9382:2
Everyone receives enlightenment and instruction from the Word according to their affection for truth and degree of desire for it, and according to their ability to receive it. …Those who are in that way enlightened understand the Word according to its inner truths, and so they establish guidelines for themselves from the Word, to which they then relate the literal sense. …Those are enlightened who are governed by heavenly loves; for heavenly loves receive heaven's truths and soak them up like sponges, and are also joined to them of their own accord in the manner of soul and body.

Server-Side Anti-Spam Countermeasures
Mark Pilgrim has posted about the measures he's taken to reduce spam by changing the way his webserver works (we're talking Apache mod_rewrite here). Quite a bit of detail and geekery — and heavy on the technical side. Although impracticle for those without control of their webserver, people hosting their own sites should find this article invaluable, as should any ISP who takes anti-spam measures seriously.

After three weeks of tearful auditions, we finally got our first taste of the meat in the Next Top Model sandwich last night, as we reached the Boot Camp stage of the competition.
Whittled down to 22 and then finally a lucky 13, it was a brutal episode, packed with some of the most hilariously absurd insults you'll ever hear on TV. "She seriously over-plucks her eyebrows," complained the angry judges about one girl. Literally any excuse was taken to cull a contestant. Too handy with the tweezers? You're out!
The girls' "photogenic" qualities were challenged for the first time as they partook in groups shots, while the judges stood in a secret room next door playing Mean Girls, bitching away with snipes like, "She looks like Chewbacca" and "crotch to camera... not good".
Afterwards, the girls were paired off and asked to pose in a clear glass box, while Grace Woodward barked orders and Julien Macdonald stroked his pet cat and threw out spiked criticisms like a bizarre Welsh Bond villain with a penchant for supermodels.
Elle Macpherson's Top 13 were revealed at the end of the episode:
The final 13 include Russian Anastasia Bogatirjova, street casting winner Hannah Devenne, belly dancing fan Jessica Etonye, childcare worker Stacey Haskins, Lily Cole fan Kimberleigh Spreadbury, Stoke-on-Trent's Jade Thompson, and 23-year-old Holly Higgins. Completing the finalists are Londoner Ufuoma Itoje, former Miss Lithuania Juste Juozapaityte, surfer and kick-boxer Amy Woodman, ex-Sugar Hut employee Imogen Leaver, full-time mum Tanya Mihailovic, and arts and craft student Joanne Northey.
All 13 contestants will be squeezed together into a single house next week, so expect the usual pillow fights and finger-jabbing rows over everything from spilt milk to hair straighteners to comments about one of the girls' weight. There may also be some modelling involved along the way as well.
Quote of the night:
A score draw between Grace Woodward's "She looks like a fishwife" and Julien Macdonald's gobsmacking "She looks like Chewbacca".

Last month, in Bank of the Pacific v. F/V ZOEA, 2017 WL 823298, Case No. 3:15-cv-05758-RSL, the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington ruled that the federal Ship Mortgage Act, 46 U.S.C. §§ 31321 – 31330, preempts a Washington state statute prohibiting commercial fishing licenses and permits from serving as collateral for ship mortgages. The ruling on the plaintiff's summary judgment motion held that when commercial fishermen rely on mortgages to fund the purchase of vessels and accompanying fishing permits, these borrowers cannot shield the very permits they purchased with the mortgage from seizure. The Court explained that "to make their investments worthwhile, lenders need a security interest in the valuable permits where vessels are valuable significantly, and sometimes almost entirely, because of their permits." Id.
The plaintiff, Bank of the Pacific (Pacific), sought to enforce its maritime lien under a preferred ship mortgage secured by vessel F/V ZOEA and the vessel's commercial fishing licenses. At issue in the case was whether a Washington Dungeness crab permit could serve as valid collateral for a ship mortgage obtained by N&M Fisheries, LLC (N&M) to purchase vessel F/V ZOEA and the permit.
In order to raise the funds to purchase the vessel and the permit, N&M obtained a ship mortgage from Pacific, which was there after recorded with the United States Coast Guard. The F/V ZOEA, and its commercial fishing rights and licenses were secured by the ship mortgage as collateral. The ship mortgage constituted a preferred maritime lien against the F/V ZOEA. When N&M apparently failed to meet its repayment obligations, Pacific sought to foreclose its maritime lien against the F/V ZOEA and its accompanying fishing rights and licenses, including the Washington Dungeness crab permit, in rem. The plaintiff further sought in personam relief against N&M and the individual members of the LLC.
N&M argued that Pacific did not have a security interest in the permit because RCW 77.65.070 prohibits commercial fishing licenses and permits from serving as collateral for ship mortgages. The Court was unimpressed with N&M's arguments, finding that "maritime actors have a reasonable settled expectation that maritime liens can attach to permits," and where state laws, like the Washington statute at issue, "defeat reasonably settled expectations of maritime actors," those laws are preempted by contradictory federal laws. Id. Moreover, the Court reasoned, the very purpose of the federal Ship Mortgage Act is to stimulate private investment in United States shipping by facilitating financing and establishing the priority of preferred ship mortgages in relation to other liens. The effect of the Washington state law — preventing a mortgage holder from collecting on validly listed collateral — is in direct contradiction with this effort and is preempted by federal law.
Bank of the Pacific is clear that "ship mortgage lenders can have a security interest in Washington commercial fishing permits appurtenant to a mortgaged vessel," but whether a particular permit is subject to seizure by a lender will depend on the specific language of the closing documents. The decision clearly establishes that RCW 77.65.070 (2) is preempted by federal law.

Advocates for the humane treatment of animals asked the Florida Supreme Court to approve a proposed constitutional amendment banning the caging of pregnant pigs in small crates.
Floridians for Humane Farms argued that some huge "factory farms" breed pigs for years in gestation crates that don't allow the pregnant animals to turn around.
Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States said the crates are not prevalent in Florida, but the amendment is aimed at keeping the big hog farms from moving in.
The court took the proposal under consideration.

NH Division of Historical Resources
The DHR Welcomes Laura Black as our Special Projects and Compliance Specialist
Laura S. Black recently joined the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources as Special Projects and Compliance Specialist. Laura will be directing the Old State House Project and assuming "above-ground" compliance review for transportation projects.
With a B.A. in History from Binghamton University and an M.A. in History (Public History; Historic Preservation) from Arizona State University, Laura has worked in the museum and cultural resources management fields for more than 15 years.
Positions at a living history museum and a small historical society near her hometown on Long Island, New York solidified her interest in making a career out of a passion for history, the built environment, and material culture. In 1998 Laura accepted a position with a Philadelphia-area cultural resources management company. Initially intending to stay for a few years and then return to museum work, she stayed with the company for a decade finding "CRM enjoyable and challenging, in a position full of opportunities for professional development and growth." As Senior Project Manager, Laura gained extensive experience in conducting a wide range of federal, state, and local cultural resource compliance studies throughout the mid-Atlantic region. Laura also served on the board of the American Cultural Resources Association, and volunteered with her Pennsylvania-hometown's Main Streets program and the Community Design Collaborative of Philadelphia. Laura is happy to be here in New Hampshire where the dual-role position with the DHR "combines my interest and expertise in Section 106 and CRM with my life-long interest in Public History and museums." After work hours, Laura enjoys baking, quilting, and outdoor adventures. She is looking forward to exploring New England's hiking trails and waterways.

go away demon of doubt!
The two girls, cassie bernall and rachel scott, were so brave. how is it possible for anybody to be that brave? that with a gun pointed at their heads, they chose the right path. how much more does that make me want to choose the right path, to have that bravery and courage. they each wrote books, or actually books were written posthumously about them, and they are such touching books. They really reach down into the soul. man. they are good.
man. i'm a downer today.
i had some other downer things today happen too. they kinda sucked. they're not something i wanna announce to the world, but suffice it to say i just keep getting doubts. maybe i got a demon somewhere around my head plaguing me. that would really suck. hhahaha.

i have nothing to argue with today except lazy people.
If i were peter griffin, my gears would be seriously grinded. because i am not peter griffin, i would like to politely discuss and emasculate lazy people. LAZY LITTLE PEOPLE. they think that they are all that, and then when it comes down to it, they are just lazy. i hate them. i work so hard to be mediocre, and they do nothing to think that they are great.
i just almost ate my headphone.

text: I recently obtained a dual 867 G4 MDD with two additional hard drives (one on the front and one on the rear carrier). The one on the rear has a capacity of 186 GB while the one on the front has a capacity of 168 GB. The rear drive will always appear after the machine is turned on, but the drive on the front will occasionally appear. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables, but the problem still persists. I have noticed that the drive on the rear is an ATA drive and the drive on the front is an IDE drive, don't know a whole lot about the types of drives and any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I've had some difficulty with Target mode with this computer in either direction to my Ti G4 500 MHz. It appears that either HD is not recognized when in Target mode.... any ideas? Thanks.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if you could take the precision, targeting, analytics, and reporting of digital campaigns and make them even better? Well, you can! Drum roll please . . . Addressable TV has all the elements of digital with one distinct advantage: reach.
According to the Video Advertising Bureau, TV delivers more than 90%+ monthly reach and accounts for 90% of total video spend. And Addressable TV has all the targeting bells and whistles of digital and the ability to execute one-to-one marketing.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Addressable TV, it is the ability to target consumers through cable set-top box audience defined first, second and third party research rather than simply on Nielsen target demographics. Through these research companies (3rd Party) such as Crossix, Kantar, Polk, and others, along with the clients own in-house data (1st Party), cable providers can find those consumers that reside in specific households that match the profile they need to reach. Examples of these profiles run the gamut, from peanut butter purchasers and tea drinkers, to retirees and frequent flier members, and beyond. The Ad is then "served" only to those households with residents that match the profile. Normal, conventional TV methods take over from here. Which means, tracking, measurement and posting. However, by utilizing the research providers on the front end, a much deeper level of results such as ROI, brand lift, consideration, and sales lift can be measured in a much more meaningful way versus the traditional route when purchasing against just demographics.
So, now, let's talk about the reach. Addressable TV can be purchased in all 210 TV DMAs in all 50 states which accounts for a roughly 50 MM household footprint and growing. Addressable is available on premium networks and runs at the local break position. As a means of comparison, HBO has 33 million subs, Hulu just under 15 million and Netflix around 48 million. And, according to VAB, people spend much more time with cable TV than with digital platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, and Pandora, among others.
If you aren't ready to jump on the band wagon despite all the above, here are a few more Addressable TV items to consider:
- It allows the advertiser the ability to increase their frequency over and above their standard TV campaign
- Addressable TV opens the ability of smaller budget clients to tip their toe into the TV landscape
- Clients with a niche product or service now have a greater ability to find their audience
- Hard to reach consumers can now be found more readily. HCPs can be marketed to in a relaxed environment where their receptivity might be greater than when in the office
- Gives advertisers the option of buying deeper in the market. Meaning going beyond just the top 10 rated networks. This helps build the reach of the campaign and helps with the overall efficiency of the campaign
- Addressable TV is authenticated subscriber data and doesn't rely on proxies and/or cookies
- There are no bots or fraud issues
- Ad blocking is a non-issue as the Ad cannot be blocked on the TV screen
- Relevant Ads are seen by the consumer which adds to receptivity and purchase intent
When planning your next campaign, consider Addressable TV for the targetability of digital with the reach of TV and see for yourself how powerful it can be.

While the Stanley is in good shape, it needed a lot of work. Among other things, the guys repacked the valves, pumps and wheel bearings; cleaned the vaporizer; repaired the throttle; and cleaned out the pressure bottles.
Willy and Alan have been helped by a great group of docents this week. At right Ed is busy packing one of the water pumps.
For some reason Rod got stuck cleaning out the fuel tank.
The trade-off for all the hard work was getting to participate in steam car training with Alan. After three days, it was finally time to take the Stanley on her maiden Alaska run.
We'll have to post a video of the firing up on our YouTube channel. Better yet, come see us fire up the Stanley at 11 am this Saturday during the Cruise-In.
Of all the drivers, Ed had the biggest grin after his turn at the wheel. He's a huge fan of steam cars and has adopted our Stanley. "I've ridden in several kinds of steam cars," he said, "but I've waited 60 years to drive one. It was fantastic!"
Here's a photo of the blow-off after the guys returned from the evening drive. Everything about this car is very impressive, and we hope you'll come see it running on Saturday!
