  8. Re:Velcro. Lots and Lots of Velcro. on Is This How to Carry Your Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    Press any digits you want. Then using symbolic Gore logic, the "system" will dial the number you "meant" to call!

  14. Enlightenment? on Beyond The Holy Circle · · Score: 1

    This article is as well interesting as short sighted. The enlightenment goal is to go beyond the 3 dimensional reality and see the world as "is". There are many enlightened christians, yews and other well documented mystics from inside the great religions too. Anyway all of them (f.e.Jesus) are in a close relation to freedom. The net provides us with freedom and I would suggest to view it more as a collective life-form than a way to enlightenment. Information and knowledge is not enough to cause enlightenment. What the internet indicates is a paradigm shift and maybe also a collective enlightenment, where the internet should be considered more to be a symptom than the reason.

    To go beyound the "Holy Circle" indecates the voyage out of our known reality with the own mind-body-energy complex and to become adult and aware of the possible higher level of existence. Fooling around with uncommon aspects of the current reality does not mean adopting a new one, it simply means exploring the actual reality. The borders of this are the "Holy Circle". Some aspects of the outside are known but only less people can afford the power to cross the line. And if they did, few of them will tell you (forget it I have not :-). And if they tell you, do you think you will believe it?

    Science knows little about the borders of our world. Internet may uncover the whole spectrum of reality and even the way to beyond, but it is not enlightening itself, nor does it reduce your way. But it may provide new ways to enlightenment and their avatars surely will take them. Do not expect the sum of the Avatars will rise because there are new ways. We will only get the freedom of new choices.

    Anyway the net has given us Linux. This is a spiritual topic in the way that thousands of idealistic programmers invested thousands of hours , their creativity and knowledge to bring it up and make it something special. This is the living spirituality of the rightous.

    What I am sure of is, that the net has the capability to re-establish a healthy kind of spirituality hand in hand with science. This might be one of the factors to break the circle for the whole mankind.

    best regards
