Watching the Box as the Changeless

Oh facebook. A ripe field of research? A waste of little moments, thoughts, and energies? A first glimpse of a connected oneness that is to be?

Sometimes I really want to hang up the experiment. After all, there is not much of a group of peers to compare notes with. Most magicians follow the stage illusionist's rule of "a good magician never reveals his secrets". This field is however about blaspheming in the face of the sphinx. To dare to share.

In the traditional way, the Magickal Record is a deeply personal simul-tracking of all that the Magician does and is. And this is very important for one reason; it gives you a definitive glimpse into your own Narcissism.

So, an electronic magickal record, an open book. All the nastiness and the beauty woven into the one rope of a human. Integration without shame happens by going through and not avoiding. And the internet is obviously something important in our evolution if we can but hold it together.

It is a science of how your friend's friend's friends effect and affect you. The prompt "what's on your mind?" in the status update bar beckons, tempts, and asks. And if we just become honest with our machines, perhaps they will be honest with us. It does not judge, but simply transmits. It is, in some sense, a perfect listener.

I support mechanization. I support the beautiful manifestation. I have hope that the Human/Machine complex will somehow rescue enough of the biosphere that we can still have feelings, and sex, and imperfections, and theater and all the beautiful biology that we depend on Mother for.

Just maybe, if we simultaneously embrace the bio-connection and the electro-integration, and self-annihilate them into a higher order of being on earth and among the stars; maybe I could live to breathe another planets air in this body, and not some 'other'. By utilizing with sincerity the electronic networks that objectify the ways in which we are bound; the good, the bad, and most importantly the currently ugly within us.

Just remember ... contracting onto the web allows the spider to recognize itself for what it is. If we all could but keep this in mind (mindfulness) while we observe and judge the information stream; we can indeed let go and have a good result. So that our 'real' lives are lived with more richness. So that the shallow, the vain, the tormented, the contracted, the embarrassed, the crude, the vile, and the human being can be left in the mechanized world. And we can go about our day as an eagle soaring above the electronic waters of putrefaction.

To knowingly Will to Dare to Share. Compressing the sphinx into the world of form is a Yoga when done with this sort of intent and awareness. It is the alchemical process of Turning Coal into Diamond, applying more pressure to the ego-knot in shorter spaces of time to generate heat (energy). A crucible where all the work can be processed, so once again, our lives may be lived free and without limit. It is fully inhabiting the manifestation as it is right now, and bringing that light into the darkness of a new world.

I think.
