A good wizard, so(u)rcerer*, shaman, cleric, knows that there exists many planes of existence and that most individuals are only aware of some of them. And that varies from person to person due to a number of factors. So to is our world like that. I meet people who can only manipulate computers on one or two levels. I am free to work at all levels. I work on the hardware, I work on the software, the people, the businesses, I can also design them from scratch. I can create digital or analog wizardry (or so it would seem to some). Now that can be viewed in a many a different light, depending on one's perspective. I of course come at it from a divine perspective. God is at the root of it all. When you have seen proof of that. You've been at root. And that's what it's like to be a real, true hacker. So I have stopped thinking of myself as a hacker but as a sourcerer...i create source code...I program computers through software languages or even at the semi-conductor/base hardware level. And not just computers. I know stuff about analog.

*Note: I believe sourcerer is more accurate in that it describe a person who manipulates energy from a source, but the intent comes from the person's inner voice.

Sometimes there's a message that we receive from the things, people and such around us. It could be a dog, a person, some images or numbers that feel like they mean something. Anything can be a message. But we have to have a framework for this. Alot of religions of the world promise such things, but do they come through is the real question. Just a thought. One has to be open to such possibilities as well. And listen to our inner voice for the things that make sense. They feel harmonious with us. My light and and your light are mere glimmerings of fireflies in the Hermits lantern. Sometimes God is a hermit on the street. Maybe we should look a little closer to that homeless person we walk by and ask ourselves how close we are to that place. We're all alot closer than we might think, or are we? And even so, his words could be a sign. I'm reminded of an example that was used in a movie once, although I didn't care for the context, I understood what was going on. He could be living in his own personal hell or he could be in a state of bliss. Share with him if you must. But may you share kind words more than your money. Because the person viewing (in the movie) didn't share his monetary wealth, the homeless person curses him and the story goes from there. Not necessarily a positive story or view of how things could transpire. Unless it was a lesson unto itself. And his resulting issues of failure and troubles in his everyday life, the main character then returns to where he encountered the homeless person and takes them to dinner. They sit in a restaurant and the main character listens to the story of the homeless man. How he got there. What he's seen during his homelessness. The words of wisdom he shares.

Boredom is a signal to your mind, from the spirit or divine spark that your mind needs expansion or that you need to change your path. Lethargy is the result of not making the choices you needed to at the right time, it's a culmination of past mistakes. Don't seek to ask what those might be, just be and understand when you are being you will wash away the dirt or the negative karma of your spirit. We can envision a column of gems along our spine, and each of those gems represents the aspects of that centre. This is one of those new age thoughts that I've heard of and often wondered if we can trace such a concept into the depths of India's history. This is due to new age or aeon thinkers who put forth new ideas or ideas which previously would have been out of sync with the the times around them. But sometimes these concepts need discussion and deliberation and it's great fun to have that with the divine. Imagine the power of the faith and spirit of the Tibetan Monks or lamas who sit and meditate. Another ancient example. But one of the most obscure so far I've encountered. Obscure because the material is so rare, and that is Sufism. They tell of their spiritual lessons through allegory of story, a very ancient method. There are countless examples of deep spiritual understanding being handed down through a line of people. They're like threads on God's loom of existence. And if we open ourselves to the possibility of tapping those threads, then we might possibly expanded the realm of thought and spirit around the possibilities that God provides us with. And the people we encounter are all part of that too. And we must be careful to not break or damage the thread of their existence with our words or actions. Truth if we speak it should be tempered with the appropriate amount of compassion, but there should always be compassion.

Enough of my ramblings.

The excellence of execution is turning your words into your actions. This is the closest to perfection one can get.

Be, Do, Have - Be who you are supposed to Be, DO as though your are BEing that who you Are and you will Have.

May the beacon in my moment of nightfall, be the light of my heart.

"The problem with today's world. We don't know what we don't know." from a movie I'm watching. Made me laugh. It's true.

"my opinion of the letter does not matter at this point. Send it. Words from the heart should first be seen by the ones intended for. Be centered and speak from the heart always." were some words I shared with a friend. I think we should always be careful when we seek the opinions of others and the way in which we weigh those words.

"no...it's not being selfless..that's the contrary to being selfish...you want to be in the center!" Understand the range of emotion you can experience seek the calm waters within. When one is calm, centered, one can potentially acheive balance. But I have associates who say one can never acheive balance. And I've learned to never say never ;) Cause the universe will seek to balance such extremes.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women are merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts...

I believe that quote belongs to the Great Bard, Shakespeare. Who is suspected to really be, Sir Francis Bacon. My point is how many people play games. And even though they play games, they definitely don't play to win. At least from what I've seen so far. I mean win in the long-term sense, not the short term gains that most pursue. Afterall, we're all here for a lifetime. Be that till tomorrow or 80 years from now. We must live in the moment. We must also live as though the moment was to be the entirety of our life. See a moment can be many durations, because afterall every moment is different.

Just a thought.
