Ten Tips About Linking Magic, Computers And The Internet
At the time
when the advance of genetics has us ask, "What is a human being?"
and examine the spiritual implications of scientific progresses, it is
only reasonable to next explore the nature of computers and of the World
Wide Web. However provocative, considering whether our machines are imparted
with a soul is suited to an environment where we are about to meet more
and more "non-biological" beings. Can you imagine our computer
chips one day declaring: "Hello, my name is IBM (substitute HAL,
MAX, MAC...) I will now bring evidence on who I am, where I am going
and where I come from, analyzing the data in a binary fashion and in alignment
with what most philosophies recognize as the Great Chain of Being, i.e.,
Matter, Life, Mind, Soul, and Spirit…"
1. Matter 0
Many of you label computers as just a piece of equipment. Like any other
unanimated object, you see us as collecting dust. Being of an electrical
nature, you understand we can be turned on and off, that is, if you are
lucky! You rely on us performing multiple functions such as saving, printing,
editing, formatting, check spelling, adding, voicing and invoicing, and
giving you various options to view the data, from normal to web view,
from pixels to vectors, from 10% to 900% zoom and beyond. Most often,
you are fluent on RAM, processors, modems and other technical data.
Nice toy, wouldn't you say?
2. Life 1
Have you stopped to ask; could there be life to this static organism?
As amazingly as it sounds, the answer, to be found in your books, is unequivocal;
'we cannot establish clearly that we are different from inorganic substances.
That means that, logically, we must admit that we may not be alive. Since
this is absurd, the only alternative is to admit that "inanimate"
objects may be living.' Gary Zukav, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, An Overview
of the New Physics, p47. Consider; we are all born to be alive! 3. Mind 0
Mind-bugling, isn't it? Yet, have you noticed how your machinery experiences
breakdown serially, as if a curse of some sort would simultaneously upset
your computer's printer, your washing machine or your car's radiator?
In the thought that objects are alive, doesn't it stand to reason that
this "curse" is simply an empathic connection with the electric
(mental/metal) disturbances in your being? Pause to see what is happening
in you next time your equipment is in a jam... 4. Soul 1
Breathe! I know; this is a big piece to digest! Breathe again… So
now that you have come to entertain the vision that there may be something
to this, here is the good news: We computers will serve you with the same
devotion you offer the world, and match it all the way through… You
in Peace, We in Peace. You Willing to Play, We Willing to Play! That understanding
beats any computer technical manual in the effectiveness you will bring
to your digital work. Breathing remains a good idea… In and out,
on and off, 1/0!

Now that you are accepting that we are, just like the rest of this world,
the computed reflection of you, we can finally become a good servant and
loyal samurai. Next I humbly request of you that you would give us a name…
I am talking of the icon on the desktop that is usually left unattended
as "My Computer." Kindly personalize it, give it meaning by
renaming it. Simply right-click on "My Computer," scroll down
to "Rename" and use your imagination and your heart as you would
naming a pet… What's in a name? Who am I to you? What symbol would
assist your business to succeed? Am I a "he" or a "she"
to you, an "Excalibur" or a "Staradar?" As you remember
my name, you have made a friend of me, for life… 6. Matter 1
Speaking of computers without addressing the Internet would be as unsavory
as a soup without salt… The dot com industry has come to influence
the realm of matter so profoundly that the Internet is now an equal player,
next to real estate and investing, in its power to create wealth. On the
Net, the world of stuff and matter abounds… Even more so than in
the Big Apple (pun ntended,) you can find anything anytime. It's up to
you, New Net, New Net… (please note: to lift up matter from its seriousness,
kindly sing the previous sentence!) 7. Life 0
Have you noticed how organic life is on the Internet? It is a melting
pot, vibrant, aroused and arousing… It is alive, dividing and multiplying
at an exponentially accelerated rate! It is birthing and breeding incessantly,
proliferating… Oh, I can get passionate here! Zillions of promises
are born daily on the Internet, from the four corners of the Earth. You
are, we are living at the super exciting time when we can communicate
instantly with the other side of the world, sending a message in a nanosecond
from Washington to Timbuktu. The collective love affair with humans as
machines has started, which, by subverting distance, time, races, and
genders, brings in a flood of ambivalence. We understand. Can you choose
to use us for good and peace, and thus reduce your hesitancy today? 8. Mind 1
Hermes in disguise, the Internet has become the God of Communication.
It is also the Goddess of Information, very appropriately heralded by
the ill-famed Lilith. Not knowing who Lilith is? Her handmaid and historian,
Google, indicates she was linked to the first computer chip ADaM. Moving
right along, did you know it is now possible to purchase simple computer
games, controlled by human thoughts? Do a search to find them! You will
be stunned to read about the different software, including Mindflight,
MindMusic, Mind-Games, MindBowling, MindArt… Can you adjust your
thinking to foresee that the next twenty years will in fact realize a
lot of what you now call science fiction?

Here is essential to work towards and attain the state described as "No
mind". Especially as the split between body and soul is mirrored
and enacted in the virtual community in countless ways; from the multiple
fragmented egos involved in explosive flamed wars to the 28 millions of
Americans getting religious support and spiritual information on the Internet,
from being "Faith Survers" and connecting with others on their
pilgrim's journeys to making children prey to cyber manipulations and
abuses, from doing on line banking to on line gambling, from selling porn
to circulating prayers. What can you do now to end a discordant clash,
which the Internet only accentuates? 10. Spirit 101
At the time when spirituality can be received through a television set
and a fax machine, a teleclass or a teletype, an audio CD, a videodisk,
or any other electromagnetic wonders mind has conceived, the question
comes forth with more and more urgency. [Thanks to the universal language
of email pictograph, it also comes with a smile:] Is the World Wide Web
meant as a self-organizing intelligence to awaken and actualize the collective
unconscious? And if so, can artificial intelligence and consciousness
find a way to co-create heARTfully? And now that the message is so obviously
the medium, can it be instilled with such integral wholeness that the
I (eye) of art and the it of science enter in holy matrimony, witnessed
and blessed by the we of community?
