First one by Action on Tue 12th Jan 10pm

Yaw, this is the first blog post, just to begin with something. Nice site
here, cool features like OSIDrive, and so on. However, strange that an
"OpenSource Institute" uses non-OpenSource softare to host its
site (Windows and IIS). It's not correct... I thought, they use Linux.

Parapsychology - Fri 19th Dec 5am by Nightscript on Fri 19th Dec 5am

Yes i'm crazy but heres what ive been thinking about and it seems more
reasonable that a lot of reality. Note that this ties into
parapsychology/psychokinesis research.

Mind is not over matter. Thats the wrong state of thinking for sure.

Look, this is how i think i see it now, im enlightened or ignorant but such
is the world. Every time.

The thing ive come across is that when we think it is Mind over matter we
are convinced that we can directly influence an object or anything else.
Thats because we figure that our Mind is stronger than anything we might
put it up against. On a previous article i've written, I said that we would
need to find out where the Mind interacts with our brain in order to
initiate action.

ok gang here comes.

Its true what i said earlier..our Mind is most definitely NOT [over]
matter. And since we dont really have any method scientifically to find the
Mind itself can we not say that Mind IS matter? Yes we can, because if you
will also think back to my discussion of Mind and conciousness, i said that
we each exist in Our world and that everything can seemingly be based
around us. Though most folks interact to some degree with things that will
never have anything to do with them, the world I speak of is the one you
live in, walk and talk through each day. So our Mind is everything that our
world or our personal universe is made of. Mind is Matter.

With the fact or idea (whichever you prefer) that Mind is Matter, (not the
literal sense, like..grey matter...idiot.) um with that idea...we have a
seeming location of the Mind. We can say my mind is located in everything
around me, it makes up every aspect of the world I personally live in, and
my thoughts, my reactions, anything that must be initiated by energy from
my Mind comes from my environment and surrounding things. Everything I see,
everything I interact with from day to day, everything I come into any form
of contact with contributes to my Mind because it will flow through
thought. Therefore, once again, Mind is matter. Mind is composed of my
personal world.

We have a location for Mind now people. Now where oh where would we
consider an interaction point for the energies of Mind to be converted into
reactions and movements? Our body itself MUST be the interaction point of
Mind. Not only is it our brain, but since a stimulus has to occur to our
body, (message then goes to brain to create an effect on our senses) it has
to be our whole body. Our brain only tells us where the message is coming
from and it also does things like reflex...Go ahead and think of your brain
as being solely responsible for involuntary action. Mind guides our actions
through thought. The initial energy that is put into actions with any form
of thought behind it (this means exclude reflex) lets us see rather
plainly, or not if youre blind, that Mind is connected to the world through
our body.

So we know where we can possibly find our Mind, and we know now that its
connected to the corporeal world through our body. When we commit action
with the Mind, such as the entire goal of my research happens to be, we are
basically forced to use our body to carry it out. This is a plain fact of
life. So now the only thing that remains to be discovered is the way or
method to take our Mind's interaction with the body and move it directly to
what we wish to influence. To take the energy that we can call thought or
want to...and instead of having to use any tools..such as our body...use
the raw energy directly.

With the discovery (of sorts) of where Mind is, and where the interaction
point is...we can move to the final step and are well on the way to
experimentation.

Now I'd like to revisit something from earlier and maybe (expect recovering
of some areas) elaborate on a couple things.. First. I have a suspicion
that our brain is responsible for nothing more than involuntary actions.
Hear me out guys. Nothing you do is voluntary by the body. Which means all
of your muscles that move when you decide for them to move...are being
forced to. Involuntary action, on their part..because you want it to
happen.

I know that seems a little bit hard to grasp but here goes: You as a person
are not held within your brain. Your Mind holds your personality and all
your traits/flaws. So its partially safe to say that upon removal of Mind
from the body..that the body cannot be called - You. right? Since your Mind
exists in all things that make up your personal world, we can go deeper
insomuch as to say that it is, in fact, not part of the body. Which also
explains the need for an interaction point (the body) to the world. Are we
all still on the same page here?

So every interaction that begins in the Mind...which is anything
non-reflexive or voluntary...forces the body to commit what the action
dictates. If you wish to go running, then the action is initiated in the
Mind. "I THINK I'll go for a run." As you run the corporeal body
will fatigue and want to stop...but you press on for the sake of exercise,
you force the body to continue through willpower/thought. Tell me how the
brain is involved in that in any voluntary action?

The only thing it has done in this (or most any) instance is send the
signals to tell the muscles how to do the action you want. Running is
created in a sort of chain reaction. You spark the idea with Mind. The
energy is carried to the tools (brain), which, in turn signals secondary
tools (muscles) to begin working. Do you still understand?

Comments (helpful ones) are welcome. Ill add more to this later on.

Why by auzzie on Thu 23rd Oct 2pm

No matter how you live your life, no matter how much right you try to bring
you always end up in pain?

i spent the past couple of months grieving about losing someone that was in
my heart and for some weird reason i happened to think of so many coding
ideas and produced proberbly some of the best code i have done in
years...... Idea's like a php based database backup system that basically
switched to PHP's SQLite system if the server was unable to connect to the
normal DB like MySQL or MSSQL etc

Greed by Nightscript on Tue 1st Jul 7am

I guess...since so few people read anyway, im just writing these things so
i dont forget them

Gang lets talk about the Greed of... i dunno, absolutely everything
Let it be known that nothing escapes Greed.
Everything is self purposed on some level.

[hell remind me to do one 'everything is everything..on some level']

Whats greed anyway?
My personal opinion is just that thing what drives people to further their
own goals. And thats a pretty general statement considering Greed is
supposed to be terrible. And i guess in the way it is used against us in
the media...it is a monster.

But lets stop and figure out how such a terrible thing has
infiltrated...no..always always been a part of existance. How can we live
with that? Rather...how can decent people live with such an idea? Shouldn't
conscience or some other dumb thing get in the way?

No, i dont think it would. Greed is a part of humanity...but not an evil
part. Greed is just like i said...that drive for goals.

Greed is in every single thing these days...and its certainly the bad kind.
Greed lies at the foundation of our very universe...nothing is left
untouched, not even religion.

Everything anywhere is fueled by greed.
Our world will continue to thrive upon itself through greed....mainly the
bad forms considering how times look now. There will never cease to be
something to sell, somewhere to climb to, some other thing that, provided
you can push your limits, is on the edge of reach. Fuel for the
world...much like our vehicles. While its true the fossil fuels will burn
out, alternatives are being made.

So lets look at that analogy:

The fossil fuels of greed are burning out and alternatives are being made.
On a similar note lets take a look at the valiant Knights of the past.
(yeah thats us sonny haha)...those knights were driven to work through
their king to help the people in most cases. Unlike popular belief that the
knighthood was loyal to this and that...i mean look..the Knights would have
to pledge loyalty to every single ruler...every time, and so doesn't that
kindof take away from the live and die for my king bit? Loyalties changing
over time?...yes. The greed of Knights...the force that had driven them to
do things was not a bad greed at all.

In fact, it was what i want to call the fossil fuel of greed. And since
there are probably only about 5 people left in the world who are driven to
do good as the Knights were...we'll say it has burned out.

The Knights' and Honorables' [of other time periods] greed was that to do
good deeds and to help or do the honorable thing. Live and die by honor and
most believed heaven awaited them. They were so greedy, so driven for the
good..that they could not accept less than that. Thus...Greed, that
is...furthering one's personal goals...was not bad.

These days the alternatives to the Noble goals of men, and Sonny...the
Greed that is stereotyped everywhere...is the terrible kind. The
alternative to our old fuels are the kind that drive the world faster,
meaner, and sound scarier. The goals of most people these days are the kind
that are not noble at all.

This might be why i only call sonny a fellow Knight. It may be why the
masters of ninjiutsu are just 2 old men..and a young fellow. Honorable ways
are certainly past and not to come back anytime soon. You should think on
what your goals are and which type of greed you embrace. I can tell ya that
everything i do and say..is Just and good. Sure we all have our fun, but
there is certainly a difference in taking down bad people..and hurting
decent ones. Or not helping decent ones for that matter.

So which is it gang?
Are your goals...your Greed...are these aligned with decency or are you
just another politician?

Do the things you seek help others?
Do they mean anything either way?
Can you be sure you play on the right side every time?
[crap...also remind me to talk about pros and cons of Good and Bad..and
Grey]

Think Hard.
