The Matrix Revisited

Sometimes I wonder if our real purpose here is simply to perfect ourselves. So many people nowadays don’t make any attempt to do that and I believe that the whole world suffers as a consequence. As I’ve said before, even good people tend to think that because they are good they know what they are like inside - because good people are good inside. The truth is that nobody is good through and through - as Christianity would have it ‘we are all born with sin’. If you don’t look within then you can never know yourself… and if you don’t know yourself you cannot perfect yourself! It is difficult to know whether what we are effects the whole world's dream or simply our little dream of it. Certainly it is possible to be content when all those around you are not but it is difficult to know how much effect you can have on the ‘real’ world rather than your personal reflection of it. It has long been obvious to me that even if you find your own Enlightenment - you probably could not explain it to anyone else and most probably no-one would be that interested anyway. Even those who have had a little ‘preview’ are not really interested in making the effort to actually live there - contenting themselves with an occasional half day visit on the ‘Pounds, shillings and pence No 25’ excursion bus on its magical mystery tour! Or perhaps simply finding one of the other huge range of drugs that usually takes them somewhere they like - if they’re lucky - and pretending to themselves that it is actually good for them. I had a serendipitous meeting today which led to this link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Now

Thanks for your thoughts, Will! I managed to find a few articles about the book you mention and it does sound very interesting! I was amazed to read that Jung used, among others, dreams from the famous Nobel Prize winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli who discovered a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle. I agree with the premise that to bring about worthwhile transformations that the ‘transformers’ must also (and probably firstly) transform themselves...

Just had a very rare visit from Mystic. It seems he is just back from roaming abroad and has returned with some madcap manuscript that he claims supports his long held theory that we are all in prison! He say the Angels of Light felt threatened by the dark and wanted to spread through the Real Universe and illuminate everything. The Angels believed that once everything was illuminated then it would be within the sphere of control and their primary objective was to learn to control everything - for though they were brilliant they lacked wisdom. I can’t say I have taken it all too seriously but it seems to have something to do with Plato and Buddhism; the imprisonment of the Angels Of Light, the escape from Plato’s Cave, the journey to the Pure Lands and the necessary steps to attempt a Global RESET. He seems to think that the Angels Of Light were imprisoned on Earth because they were threatening the balance of the Universe - not the dream Universe but the real one. Well, I suppose I’d better explain… Mystic thinks that this Universe is the dream one and the real one is the one we think of as our world of dreams. I asked him how come the dream world doesn’t make sense if it is the real world and he said that was the whole point! We all inhabit the world of the Angels because we are their off-spring and so part of their CONSEQUENCES. What we consider to be reality is in fact a therapy dream designed with three primary functions: 1. To remove the influence of the Angels from the real Universe and effectively contain them within a dream reality. 2. To make all inhabitants of the dream believe the dream to be reality and for the dream world to have simple, yet self consistent, rules which would demonstrate the importance of CONSEQUENCES. 3. To have the dream reality so different from the True Reality that should anyone escape from the dream, or catch glimpses of the True Reality, then it would be totally incomprehensible. In other words, it was not only a way of imprisoning the Angels but also a way of making sure they could not function in the Real World if the should somehow manage to escape. As you can imagine it is very difficult for anyone who has not spent a long time in the dream to be able to understand what on Earth is going on - just as it would be for a dreamer to make sense of the Real Universe and Mystic seems to believe that the dream has long since lost its therapeutic value and that many of the ’Guards’ have been ‘corrupted’ by the dream. The Governor, a well intentioned lady, has been replaced by a ruthless ‘Guard’ who enjoys the perks of his position and is supported by the majority of the corrupt Guards who in turn are supported by various Angels who have long since become Masters of a dream they believe to be real. Confused? You’re not alone! How can you RESET a dream? Mystic seems to believe that the Pure Lands is a place where everything is in its pure form… A kind of land of blue prints, kind of like essence, like pure ingredients from which a cook will mix and match to make the perfect meal for the moment… the Adam and Eve of dream creation; dream genes to grow whatever you like. Everything that exists in the dream is made up of these Blueprints and the necessary modifications to give the required mutation. The modifications are like a history of how the essence has changed, a list of instructions, a sequence of adaptation that will result in another instance of the modern mutation based on the original. Well, this is giving me a headache so I’ll have another think and hopefully another chat with Mystic, and if it makes any more sense then I’ll add a bit more.

I’ve been thinking about what Mystic told me and it occurred to me that if he is actually on the right track then surely all that is needed to sort everything out is to find a way to alert the ‘Angels’ to the fact that they are in fact wasting their time searching for understanding of the Universe since it is actually a dream. Once the realise that the ‘dream’ is constructed in such a way that every time they think they have found the fundamental principles and constituents then another lower level is automatically generated surely they will abandon their search for control. If atoms are believed to be composed of electrons, protons and neutrons and these particles are then believed to be made up of various flavours of quarks which of course will be found to be made up of something else… what’s the point of continuing this endless process if it’s just a dream? If they realise that the are in fact trapped in a dream endlessly living pointless lives then surely they will change their ways and stop sucking the life from the planet in their quest to reach the stars. Surely they will realise that the best way forward for them and their progeny is to find a way to live in harmony with the planet and so demonstrate that they are ready to be rehabilitated into the Real World. I have also wondered how many inhabitants of the dream are actually non-player, dream characters and if they can actually be ‘run’ by ‘Angels’… if so can they be controlled by more than one at once. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mystic seems to have disappeared - nothing new there - yet he had given me the impression that he had a lot more to tell me before he went off again. More importantly, at least from my point of view, is that I have been cursed with a sudden inexplicable bout of severe stomach cramps and diarrhoea - which has meant much of my typing has to be done in the toilet - so please excuse the mistakes! Just in case it gets worse before it gets better I’ll add a few things that might help make Mystic’s thoughts a little less cryptic and hope that if anyone reads this they might be able to add more. Mystic convinced me years ago that Plato’s cave was nothing to do with politics or whatever else the great and good had decided it was about but quite simply a description of the means by which the ’dream’ is projected on to our senses. Plato used the most addictive of our senses ’sight’ and I expect most people will find that the easiest. Anyway, escaping from the ‘cave’ is Mystic’s metaphor for escaping from the tyranny of the model - the reflection of the world that is created in the cave and assumed to be a direct sensual reflection. A bit of thought will quickly make you realise that a house, or a tall tree, could never fit inside your head - much less a mountain - yet somehow we fail to realise that the image of tree that is projected onto the wall of the cave can have no real connection to the object it represents other than the upside down stereoscopic effect of the excitation of the eyeballs that constitute the flickering phantom. Best not get bogged down in long explanations - suffice to say that we tend to ’see’ what we expect and what we expect is dependent on programming (essentially education) experience (essentially what we‘ve seen before under what we consider to be similar circumstances) and state of mind (how clearly we see at the time). Escaping from the ‘cave’ gives you added ‘attentions’ and extra ‘senses’ that make it possible to find new paths… or hidden old ones. Which reminds me - Mystic muttered something about Atlantis but I wasn’t really paying attention at the time as my mind was still boggling with the thought that Angels of Light might be seen as the villains putting the Real Universe at risk with their thirst for knowledge. I can’t really add more to Mystic’s meaning of the ‘Pure Lands’ but I don’t think it is the generally accepted Buddhist concept; or maybe I misunderstood him. It seemed to me that he believed that there was something essential that should be pure and it had become tainted and that because everything was depended on this purity then everything had become tainted. It would certainly make sense that to ‘reset’ the purity of the ‘ideals’ would allow the keeping of what ‘is’ and yet change everything too. More importantly, it would, hopefully, alter the direction that the dream tended to flow. As I understand dream mechanics the ‘flow’ tends to be essentially driven by the collective subconscious of the dreamers but all dreamers are not created equal. I hadn’t heard of these Angels of Light before but I have heard of the Illuminatii (not sure how its spelt though) but I don’t know if they are connected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m feeling really dire so I’m going to post this and then concentrate on trying to feel better! If anyone reads this and can add something that might help clarify any aspect please post!

I’ve just received a short letter from Mystic. Some of it is personal and some not relevant and I have omitted these… Dear Friend, I have just realised that The Dream has probably triggered its own emergency procedure… that would explain the disastrous climate changes that scientist laughably attribute to excess carbon dioxide. If I’m right, unless this procedure is cancelled very soon then it will trigger Armageddon - the gist of which has been incorporated into the religions or mythologies of most civilisations - which will force an end to the present system of things and instigate an top level, outside, inquiry into what the root causes of the failure of the therapy dream were and an investigation of those who were principally responsible. This would not necessarily be a bad thing and it may well be best to let it happen. However, there is some mention of ‘scrolls’ and in particular a ‘scroll’ that must be read before the Armageddon program can complete and trigger the Judgement phase. I’m off to find out more about the Angels Of Light. I know they started out with good intentions and it might be important to discover how they ended up as they did. I have had some experience of black and white, darkness and light, and it doesn’t take long to discover that they have to be balanced. Too much light makes you arrogant and too much dark makes you indecisive. Surely all the wise realise that things are born in the dark before they emerge into the light. It’s difficult to believe that the Angel’s of Light didn’t know this! While I’m away it would be helpful if you could discover more about these ‘scrolls’ - they are mentioned in John’s Revelations but I haven’t got around to checking if the are present in the accounts of Buddha’s Dream. If you see Peter ask him as he seems to have travelled around a lot and has picked up a fair amount of esoteric spiritual ’gossip’ - just remember that it is often very unreliable.

Well, I'm still quite unwell but I've started a course of anti-biotics and I've had an Email from Mystic... the important bits follow. I'm off back to bed! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Things are not as they seem! It now seems unlikely that the original inhabitants of the Dream were in fact Angels Of Light. Whatever else might be unreliable I think that my latest information has a high probability of being correct… that a group claiming to be the Illuminati have been interfering with the Dream. This group comes from the Real World and seems to prefer life in our Dream. It seems that life in the Real world is essentially spiritual and there is no corporeal body, no physical senses and no sex as we know it (no male and female). This group claiming to be the Illuminati have been interfering with the dream for a long time and it is though that it is their influence that has perverted the Dream flow. They have infiltrated the upper echelons of power within the Dream and are currently leading research into Immortality (hoping to find a way to stay within the Dream in the same body without aging) - since, as far as we know, all dreamers age and die within the dream and on being reborn are forced to retrain their new body and its brain. Guards and certain others who live on the fringes of the dream are allowed to use Avatars which stops them from being completely drawn into the Dream but it is said to be an inferior experience to being truly part of the Dream (a friend said, imagine controlling a robot to ride a surf board - you could probably learn to do it… but why bother?) There is also news of another group who also claim to be Illuminati who say that they are the true Illuminati and have entered the Dream to restore balance and redirect the Dream Flow. Others say that both groups are in fact the same and it is simply a trick to confuse those others who oppose the genetic experiments and the other programs instigated by the Illuminati such as the use of brain-washing techniques to influence the subconscious of many of the lesser Dreamers (us) and so influence the Dream Flow. Things are a lot worse than I imagined and it may well be that we cannot simply leave it to the Dream System’s Emergency Procedure as the subconscious propaganda might well cause it to malfunction - I’m sure that the Illuminati, or whoever, must have a fair idea of how to beat the system - the system might be foolproof but the infiltrators are certainly not fools! Have you discovered anything about the scrolls? I’m hoping that they might actually be System Procedure Guides or perhaps hints to the location of someone who is genetically keyed into the System and so has a Priority Over-ride. Probably a sleeper whose talent only becomes apparent at times of great danger to the System. I say this because great efforts have been made by those in power to destroy any genetic line which might contain someone capable of guiding the system in an Emergency - most obviously the Inquisition. In the meantime, I will also try to find out more about the Reset. Take care.

I seem to feel worse every day. I’m starting to think that these Ciprofloxacin are the cure that’s worse than the disease. It’s very difficult to think when your stomach is churning and your mind is spinning. I’ve no idea what’s true or even if everything I, and everyone else seems to, believe is absolutely and completely wrong. What is life and death? If the body dies but the spirit continues is that still life or is it death? If spirit beings existed long before corporeal beings have we totally misunderstood the direction of evolution? I always though that eating, drinking and breathing were things that we would evolve beyond… I mean I always believed that the ultimate being would be totally self contained and need nothing. Could it be that such beings have always been around and actually want to have bodies that suffer from all those reliance’s and human frailties? It had never occurred to me that Gods or Angels or even Devils might not have a physical form. I had somehow believed that evolution would lead to men becoming gods - indestructible, eternal… Never considering that they might already be that and yet unknowing they hang on grimly to their mortal coils. Still, what do I really know of reality. I presume that others are like me, or more precisely that I am like them. That my thoughts are like theirs, that one day I will die, that… well, that everything is as it seems. Does the dreamer have any responsibility to those in the dream? If it is really that I am in a hospital bed somewhere, seemingly brain dead, plugged into life support then even if I could find a way of finding a ‘happy ever after’ outcome for my dream would it be of any benefit for anyone - even the me? Is it a bit like dying to save the planet in that it wouldn’t benefit you because you would be dead, but it might, for a while at least, benefit others. In the end what is it all about anyway? Living for as long as you can, trying to wring as much pleasure out of life as you can before you are deleted? What the point? It easy to see why people believe in God since without something else beyond finding yourself alive in a world where most people fear death without realising they have nothing to lose; it’s not enough to simply fear dying and it's too much to expect not to. In the end it doesn't really matter you just carry on doing what you think is best and keep your fingers crossed. Now, Buddha's dream... ah, yes, I have some pics of the text which was displayed in a Buddhist meeting in Sanam Luang park near Wat Phra Kaew on the anniversary of the King's coronation... Now where are they? I can't find them and a quick search of the 'net mostly gives links to some song that doesn't seem relevant. Found this though which is quite interesting... http://www.buddhistethics.org/7/gollnick001.html

I’m still unwell and my head is still spinning but I’ve managed to locate the photos and have discovered that they are a translation by a Thai. I have not had chance to authenticate them but I’m posting them so that anyone reading this can read them and be amazed at how well they describe the modern world. I can’t see how they will help Mystic but they might well help the Thai people understand exactly why they have what appears to be the most corrupt government they have ever had… which even sondhi limthongkul - the power behind PAD (who with the army helped the present PM take power) - has recently admitted is more corrupt than the one under Thaksin which was overthrown in a military coup because of claimed corruption! Buddha’s 16 Dream Prophecies BUDDHA'S 16 PROPHECIES In Lord Buddha's time, King Pasendikosol had strange dreams and wondered whether it forecast any good or bad incident. He therefore asked Lord Buddha to prophesise his 16 dreams. Dream no. 1 King Pasendikosol dreamt about 4 strong cows running ferociously from 4 directions toward one another as if they would have fought one another with anger. When the 4 cows met, instead of fighting they stepped back and walked away from one another. Buddha's Prophecy. In the far future, there would be natural disaster. Rains would fall in the wrong seasons. There would be huge clouds moving from 4 directions as if it would have rained heavily on the land. When the 4 clouds floated near one another, they moved away without any rain on the ground. Rice seedlings in the rice fields and vegetations would all dry out. A lot of people and animals would starve to death. This event would occur in the far future. King Pasendikosol dreamt about young trees, not grown enough to flower and to fruit, but they were so full of flowers and fruits that their branches seemed unable to bear them. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, girls too young to have husbands, would want to get married and have families, because they were filled with passion and desire. Their minds would crave for sensual pleasure. They would enjoy body, sound, smell, taste and touch and crave for sexual pleasure and passion. It would be an acceptable tradition for couples to get married at very young ages. They would feel unashamed to indulge in sex like animals. When they were pregnant, they would find ways to get rid of the babies, even though it was a very sinful thing to do. Some children could still live with their parents, but others would be abandoned and become beggars, living on their own and wandering around, without parents or families, to give them education or places to live. They would sleep anywhere. Sometimes they could find something to eat, but sometimes they were starved. It would be a very miserable situation. This event would occur in the far future. Those who would be born in that time would have to face it. King Pasendikosol dreamt about a herd of cows and oxen sucking the nipples of their Offspring. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, parents would have to depend on their children's sweated labour. They would have to live on food and necessary things, including money, provided by their children. In that time, parents would have to please and flatter their children all the time. If the children were pleased with them, they would give their parents some money. If not, the parents would get nothing. This event would occur in the far future. Dream no. 4 King Pasendikosol dreamt about people forcing small young cows to pull the carts. When they could not do so, they got beaten. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, people would tend to let young graduates assume heavy administrative duties of the country. Young people had knowledge, but they lacked experience, capacity, well- roundedness and carefulness in management of economic, political and social problems. They would make mistakes and slow down things. Their lack of responsibility would cause trade deficit and damage to the country and its development. They were subject to reprimands by the public. This event would occur in the far future. Dream no. 5 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a horse with one head but two mouths. It kept eating grass through both mouths and never seemed enough. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, the judges would be so tricky that they would accept bribes from both sides of a case, the plaintiff as well as the defendant. They would demand things from them. They asked a little for minor cases and a lot for serious cases. If they did not get what they asked for, they would not judge the case. This event would occur in the far future. Dream no. 6 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a group of people laying down a valuable gold tray for foxes to urinate and to empty their bowels on. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, foolish people would let Lord Buddha's teachings, the Dharma, be abused and destroyed by many religious cults by way of modifying Dharma to fit their impure and lustful teachings. They would then announce that Lord Buddha's teachings were part of their beliefs. Many people would misunderstand that Lord Buddha's teachings and other beliefs were compatible, and therefore were the same. In fact those cults did not understand the value of Lord Buddha's teachings at all. People like those would exist when Lord Buddha was gone in Nirvana. There would be so many cults claiming that they were the right religions. Dream no. 7 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a man sitting on a bench weaving tiger skin into a rope, and a fox chewing up the rope as fast as it was woven. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, foolish people with low morality would be promoted to noble positions working in the palace and often acting in the name of the king. Due to their foolishness and talkativeness they would leak out the palace's secrets to the public. For those who did not like the king, this would be an opportunity to spread the words, and therefore the king would be discredited. People would lose faith and respect in him and the royal family. This event would occur in the far future. The disloyal people would arise from within. Dream no. 8 King Pasendikosol dreamt about big jars and small jars lying at the same place. People would jam to pour water into the big jars until the water spilled over, whereas no one would pour water into the small ones. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, people would seek to donate good and valuable things to high-ranking and senior monks. They would receive excessive food and donation, whereas junior monks, sitting around, would receive nothing. This event would occur in the far future. Dream no. 9 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a big pond. The water in the outer part was clean, clear and cool, but the water in the middle was cloudy and muddy. Big and small animals fought to drink the muddy water, but no animal wanted to drink the clean, clear and cool water. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, people would be full of greed and desire. They would never have enough money. They would not want clean, honest, but low-paying jobs, which could not satisfy their greed. They would try to seek power in the national assembly, so that they could rule the country and manage the country's finance fully. They would be tricky and corruptible with no shame. They would be satisfied just to acquire a large amount of money regardless of how dirty the means were. This situation would occur in every nation all over the world. It would become more and more severe, resulting in disorder in the national assembly. There would be fights over the positions in which they could get more money. They would fight about who would get more, who would get less and who would get nothing. This event would occur in the far future. Dream no. 10 King Pasendikosol dreamt about the rice cooking in a pot. In one part of the pot the rice was cooked, in another part it was half- cooked, in yet another part it was not cooked at all. Buddha's Prophecy In the far future, people would split in their beliefs. One group would believe in Lord Buddha's teachings, the right Dharma, which when practising to the final stage could really eradicate sufferings. This group would believe in Nirvana, the extinction of defilements and sufferings, as the goal of the Noble Path. They would believe that the Hell and the Heaven existed, that good merits and sinful acts caused good and bad results accordingly, and that rebirth would follow death of a person who still had defilements and craving. Another group would be uncertain about whether the Noble Path still existed in the time when Buddhism was very old. They would not be sure if Lord Buddha’s teachings were still perfect, and whether there were still good Buddhist monks who could reach the stage of Nirvana. They would be full of doubts. Yet another group would refuse to believe in the Noble Path, its result and Nirvana altogether. Among this group there would be no such things as hell or heaven, nor would there be any consequence of merits and sins, or any life after death. Toward the end of Buddhism, people would have more and more wrong views. Dream no. 11 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a group of people exchanging the valuable and expensive scented hard wood with only one pot of sour cream, which was incomparable in value. Buddha’s Prophecy In the far future, a group of people would trade Lord Buddha’s teachings for money. They would write books about them and sell them for living. They would compose poems about them and preach them for something incomparable in value in return. This event would occur toward the end of Buddhism. Dream no. 12 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a dry and hollow bottle gourd sinking in the water, instead of floating as it should. Buddha’s Prophecy In the far future, good, knowledgeable, intelligent well- rounded, wise and capable people, both monks and laymen, would not be admired in society. They would be blocked by bad and sinful people all the time. Honest and qualified people would have no chance to get elected into the national assembly and to rule the country. In case they were elected, they could not serve the country fully. The corruptible group would try to get rid of them for their own benefit. In the dishonest people’s opinion, the good men were their enemies for they would not cooperate in their mischief’s. So there would be no good people in that kind of society. Similarly, pure and good-hearted monks, who practised according the Noble Path, would not be respected. People would not want to come near them or to hear their teachings. They would be regarded as old-fashioned and unrespectable. People would pay no attention and no respect to them. Even though they had a lot of possessions, they would not give any to the monks, or they would give only little. The monks could live in monk hood with difficulty. Therefore no one would want to enter monk hood, and there would be fewer and fewer good monks in Buddhism. This event would occur in the far future. Dream no. 13 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a solid rock as big as house floating on the surface of the water, like an empty sailing boat. Normally a rock sinks in the water, but this one floated on the water surface. Buddha’s Prophecy In the far future, bad and sinful people, who did not observe any precept and were immoral, wicked, flattering and unashamed, would be admired in the society. They would gain power and fame and have many followers and servants. Laymen like this would be respected highly, welcome and pleased by the public. In fact they were like a mirror reflecting the situation of the society and the country. Whether the society was developing or deteriorating could be seen from this big mirror in the national assembly. It was the indicator, the window or the door of the society. In a country, the kind of representatives elected by the people would reflect the kind of people themselves. In the society of monks and nuns, the religion could flourish or deteriorate depending on the four assemblies. Monks could not live by themselves in the society. A monk was made famous by laymen who spread words of admiration about the monk’s supernatural and sacred qualities. It was according to laymen’s belief about which one was a Noble One. In that time, arahants, the ones who were free from defilements and sufferings, would depend on the followers’ belief. Followers in each school of belief would have their own definition of an arahant. They would publicize strict practice of their monks very excessively. That was why a solid rock floated on the water surface. The monks famous in this way would use monk outfits for their business. They made use of the religion for their living. Toward the end of Buddhism, people would lose their respect in the religion. Their faith would decline, because they saw misconducts among the monks. Wise people who were firm in reasoning would seek the right monks. Toward the end of the religion, this event would occur. Dream no. 14 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a female tree frog chasing a big cobra for food. As it caught the cobra, it swallowed the cobra right away. Buddha’s Prophecy In the far future, famous and popular monks spoke with impressive speech. They preached like cobras spreading their hoods, played great roles in the society and commanded respect and faith from the people. They received wealth, fame and title so much so that they forgot themselves and lost their mindfulness and wisdom. They did not have control over their eyes, ears, noses, tongues and minds, and allow them to enjoy forms, sounds, smell, tastes and tactile sensations until sensual pleasure filled up their minds. That was why “the tiny female tree frog” got the chance and plan to attack the mind with tricks and sugar-cane sweet words, until “the little animal” could catch and swallow it at the right moment. Dream no. 15 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a group of golden swans hoarding around the crows. Wherever the crows went, the golden swans followed them around. Buddha’s Prophecy In the far future, newly sworn-in monks who were still pure in Dharma would surround the monks who were immoral. The new monks would respect those monks as their teachers. The immoral monks were good at acquiring possessions, just like the crows at food-finding. They would give the new monks their shares of those possessions. That is why the swans submit themselves to the crows. Toward the end of the religion, the monk society would change in this way. Immoral monks would increase in number. Uneducated junior monks would not observe the Monks’ rules (vinaya). They would not know about right and wrong, what to do and what not, and what their duties were. They would enter monk hood only because it was a tradition. This event would occur in the far future. Dream no. 16 King Pasendikosol dreamt about a herd of goats chasing a tiger and crunching it for food. In the far future, people would be unsatisfied with ruling by the king. They would protest against this type of ruling and seek democracy, in which the king’s role and power were reduced, and all were under the same laws. When the king refused, they would seize his power by force, according to the need of the people. Any king who refused would be overthrown and forced out of the country, together with his family. In case the king agreed to step down from his power according to the people’s request, they would respect the king and the royal family like their living gods and their shelter. They would regard the king as the spiritual centre of the country forever. This event would occur in the far future. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would argue that these prophecies hold true for religions in general and that science could well be classed as a modern religion... hence, it follows that many of the predictions for monks would also hold true for scientists!

Well, my health is still very poor and no further word from Mystic so I’ve no idea if he’s seen the Buddha’s Dream Prophecies I posted above. I’d mentioned them to him before but I hadn’t read them properly and having done so now I realise that I unintentionally misrepresented them. Still, I doubt that it makes much difference as it seems to me to be too late to do anything... I used to watch these silly horror films like ‘Damien’ or whatever, in which people try to destroy the anti-Christ or stop a prophecy when of course if the prophecy is real then it can’t be stopped. I have been trying to waken people up to the dangers of ’carrying on as normal’ and trying to encourage them to get together in an effort to save the planet rather than waiting for science or government to find a solution. It seems to me it is like trying to kill the Anti-Christ or stop a prophecy; impossible because it is already written and so anything you try to do is futile. I had hoped that at least it might well be possible that these things can be postponed or at least delayed but as I look around and consider all the elements of a ‘perfect storm’ gradually coming together I can’t see what could possibly happen to prevent it! Mind you there is always hope. It seems strange that people can be so divorced from reality that they can’t even recognise how important the planet is to them. All our homes are on this beautiful, blue, ocean, planet so you’d think that this would also be where all our hearts are - but it seems that nowadays most hearts are rather given to the billions of boxes with which we attempt to insulate ourselves as much as possible from the reality that we rely on Mother Nature and all her bountiful gifts for our continued existence… preferring instead to pretend we earn all we eat while we escape into electronic dreams of power and glory. Somehow we seem to have lost our spirituality and connection with the balance and beauty of nature. For the most part we seem to see the planet as something which belongs to us and which is essentially just a huge supply of resources which we must use up as fast as possible in an effort to convert the world into a concrete and plastic paradise filled with cars and electronic gadgets. Like a proud and arrogant child ashamed of its mother we disown her and strive instead to be the offspring of machines. Pretending to ourselves that because we plant food that we actually grow it. We trust in experts who might be experts of the past but are not experts of the present because things change but their ideas don‘t. We trust in governments which give us laws rather than justice because laws need not be fair and impartial. We trust in military that fight the wars of the greedy in the name of peace because we think they are on our side. We trust in moneymen, middlemen who merely put up the price of things they have contributed nothing towards so that they can pay themselves huge salaries and bonuses when their only real talent is to convince us we couldn’t do without them. We trust in science because it has delivered certain temporary benefits which were in fact mostly the seeds of the ingredients to make the coming ‘perfect storm’. Oh brave new world which trusts its fate to such as these - that care more about theory than truth, more about profit than people, more about luxury than love and more about themselves than everything else! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve just watched a ghost film starring that chap from The Office and it was rather fun and had a few interesting lines too but the thing that really caught my attention was the quote from Al Einstein - “A life that is not lived for others is not worth living.” It served to reinforce my own conclusions but left me with the thought “Is that the reason we exist?’. What I mean is - did Einstein think a little like God. I heard on the news tonight about a recent claim by Stephen Hawking, something like, God was not necessary for the creation of the Universe; only gravity. I thought to myself Hawking was not necessary for the creation of the Universe either - yet he exists nonetheless. I have long argued that laws do not arise from nothing and neither do Universes. If the law of gravity existed before the Universe then the Universe was born into Something, a something with laws, and laws suggest a law maker. Mind you, it makes you wonder if there could have been any gravity at first because surely if all the mass in the Universe was concentrated in something the size of a grapefruit then the gravitational attraction would be essentially infinite, billions of times greater than that of a common or garden Black Hole, and if nothing can escape from the event horizon of a black hole then how could the Universe emerge from its much greater gravitational prison? Then it struck me that of course that’s why the Big Bang theory need the Higgs boson... So that there could be no mass at first and it would magically appeared via the Higgs just in time for gravity to create the Universe once the universe had grown enough to indulge in mature relationships :O) So what came first the phoenix or the egg? Was the Universe hatched in Laws or was it laid by an earlier Universe in an endless chain? Surely, either way, it make you wonder whether gravity was always there waiting, like a dormant lover, waiting for the development of something that it could use its attraction on, so that something could start pulling itself together again. However you look at it surely there is more than a hint of intelligence! I remember I was talking to Mystic saying that there must be some reason that clouds turn into rain and rain into ice, some reason that structure emerges, and he said “It doesn’t need a reason it just does!” I wasn’t satisfied with his answer at the time but now I realise that I have been so brainwashed that I have failed to see that things are as they are and need no reason to do what they do - we are the ones who need reasons.

Had a brief note from Mystic and he suggested I post this old scenario just to set people thinking - I’ve updated it a smidgeon but it is essentially the same. I should stress that were this to be true it would reflect an attempt to save the world by people who simply want to inject more order and stability into the world while drastically reducing its population. You may not like this solution but what’s yours? The first thing to consider is what are the most important things in the world to animals such as human beings? Well, obviously it’s air, water and food! Now why do I mention this obvious fact? Let’s start with food - where does food come from? Of course it is mostly grown as animals or crops etc. So let’s look at the present system for deciding who food belongs to:- You are walking along and you see an apple tree full of juicy apples and you pick one - who does it belong to? Well, by tradition it belongs to whoever’s land the tree might happen to grow on. This system has worked well in the past but if you 'leg it' with the apple then it is now yours, perhaps you have stolen it but it would be very difficult to prove. Okay, certain people realise that the whole world order needs to change. From their point of view it is not just full of people who are surplus to requirements but also the world is in danger of being destroyed by them. A plan is hatched… First companies are employed to find ways to genetically label products like the apple mentioned earlier so that when the New Order takes power the law will change to say that any product with genetic labelling belongs to those who designed it. I don’t know if you are aware but most GM crops are ’labelled’ and recently a species of pig. If you consider this change in the World Order it should not take you long to realise that eventually the ’powers that be’ would ban anything that was not genetically labelled on some pretext or another and then find ways to take over the world’s water supplies. Now if you are bright you will realise that this would need cooperation from all around the world and a lot of money and a huge organisation. That’s why the West went to war in Afghanistan. It was the beginning of a ‘War On Terror’ which was really about setting up a worldwide cooperation on information exchange and a great excuse to funnel lots of money into 'security' and armed forces worldwide. Once this ‘War On Terror’ network was suitably developed it was time to go into the next phase. It was decided to invade Iraq - the primary reason was to channel money from various economies into a giant fund to pay for the coming Change but it also strengthened the alliance of countries and proved their commitment. So it was that Big Oil put up the price of a barrel to ridiculous high prices and huge amounts of money were skimmed off to go toward the fund. At the same time certain high profile Wall Street companies were involved in the Toxic Debt scam - a way to explain, when necessary, where a lot of the money had gone to. Meanwhile Global Weather change was really starting to make its mark - I may say more about this and Sarah Palin later - and of course the plan was to play it down for as long as possible because food riots etc were an integral part of the plan. Now everything seemed to be going perfectly until… well, I’d better not say much about that at this stage but you’ve probably noticed that Tony Blair isn’t a happy man and his love for Donald and Dick seems to be wavering.

I’ve finally got word from Mystic that, at last, I’ve ’done my bit‘, played my part, and I can retire and grow cobwebs (I hear they‘re delicious with mushrooms). I suspect that means that all that can be done has been done and it is simply time to sit back and see how it all pans out… whatever else, it will not be boring. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, what to do with my newfound leisure? Well, I remember hearing something that someone told me that the Pope had said about the increasingly common revelations of the sexual abuse of young children by priests - that it was almost as bad for the Church as women wanting to be priests! I notice that this same Pope has recently thanked America for being a ‘force for good’ and I wondered if he knows that America is a force for good because Tony Blair told him so during the chat they had together while Blair was converting to the Roman catholic religion… I mean Blair would never have said that the ‘UK was a force for good’ but the God Almighty dollar promises “In God We Trust!” So, maybe the Pope is Right. After all, now that Barrack is in charge the US has changed direction and we can all feel safe beneath the umbrella of good old Uncle Sam. Trouble is these reports of drone missiles blowing up families in Pakistan because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and quietly swelling the numbers that are still counted as ’collateral damage’. Meanwhile Blair is still supporting his NeoCon chumps and in return has recently been awarded even more money while he chants “Invade Iran, invade Iran.” In case you were wondering, I count Blair as American not English - don’t you? Interestingly it’s worth checking into the previous winners of the million dollar prize given to Tony Blair (at an award ceremony held at a Jewish University) - Al Gore and many more ;O) Strange that Jews, Christians, NeoLibs and NeoCons get on so well but Muslims? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Possibly the most dramatic mea culpa in Presidential history, Bill Clinton, newly appointed as UN Special Envoy for Haiti, admitted to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the US policy of compelling poor developing countries to buy US agricultural products at subsidised prices, which destroyed local agricultural sectors, was a disaster. “I did that. I have to live every day with the consequences of the lost capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people, because of what I did. Nobody else." For where Clinton helped lay the groundwork for the demilitarisation of America's political and economic systems through his uncritical embrace of neoliberalism (which, despite the "liberal" in the label, inevitably leads to neoconservatism and war), Obama, with the greatest of care and deliberation, is heading to the 'dark side' that the millions of Americans who voted for him did so with the justified expectation that he'd avoid.” http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2010/09/2010916104022372281...

Modelling The Matrix First we must define a basic world. Now Hawking says that the Universe began with gravity but since Hawking bases his theories on Relativity it is hard to see what could be curved to give this gravity… However, we will start with gravity because it gives us something to orientate out world. So now we have up and down (relative to the centre of gravity) we can add left and right, forward and backward. The question is should we leave them as Relative or make them Absolute? They are Relative in our perception - although down is usually perceived as the direction things fall in both left/right and forward/backward depend on which direction you are facing - and so we will see how that works for now. Okay, we need atoms so how do we model them? To be lifelike they need inertia. Since inertia measures change it is a fundamental property and must have three dimensions - duration, direction and magnitude. It seems to me that direction and magnitude could be taken care of by a gyroscope function with one gyroscope for U/D, one for L/R and one for F/B but this would necessitate any force applied to the atom to be expressed as 3 separate vectors. Can we get away with assuming that there are 3 gyroscopes within the atom but simply express the outcome of the force as movement of the atom itself? Well, a lot depends on whether we can find a way to replace the three gyroscopes with just one - one which is suspended within the atom by nuclear forces and can spin freely in any direction. If so, any force on the atom would simply be transmitted to the internal gyroscope by inertia, and the movement of the atom’s exterior would effect the speed and direction of the gyroscope and that would, in return, exert a resultant force on the atom’s exterior… hence we would only need to use the resultant force of the internal and external forces to compute the next position of the atom. It would be best to store both Ex and Int values in case of problems as there would be no other way for the program to calculate the next iteration if these values were not available. The duration would be measured in CPU clock ticks and hence one tick could be the minimum duration but it might be best to set the minimum duration at two or more ticks to allow for complex calculations needing extra time to complete… obviously an extremely high clock speed would be required to make the simulation realistic. Mind you, for the inhabitants of the modelled world the time between clock ticks would be irrelevant as it is Relative time and so the ‘gap between instants’ is virtually unimportant and it would only matter to those who could perceive it in Real time. The fun begins when you start to join atoms together because then the exteriors become effected by extra forces which can be anything from very rigid to very tenuous and result in the familiar solid, liquid, gas states that we are all familiar with. In the real world mass and inertia may well be two sides of the same coin with inertia being the Relative measurement of resistance to change and mass being the Absolute measurement. As Einstein suggests: mass is a measurement of the velocity of energy where M = E/K (where K is a constant speed) - and inertia is a measurement of its direction ;O)
