[QUOTE=armanicus] Of course, using a suitably esoteric language certainly helps, along with an efficient transducer for carrying the resulting spectral essence into the temporal domain.
[/QUOTE]
Your "efficient transducer" is proprietary code. That's no fun. And the link to their algorithm is broken.
*grumble*
The harmonic stuff is fascinating though, thank you.

[QUOTE=Culukeh Hadaka]Hmm...my comp i on the fritz right now seriously...the top 2 rows of the keyboard don't work and now I can't even get in because it wants me to change the Windows password but the 1, the domain no longer exists and 2, I can't even type the mofo'in password even if it did.
I'm seriously considering going into Safe Mode, getting all I need off of the hard driver, and reformatting the mother to high hell. Or perhaps it needs an exorcism.[/QUOTE]
maybe you just need to get a new keyboard

I'm curious, besides getting your computer to work well for you, what else could you do with this new magick?
I mean come on, I can hear it now...
"ATM Machine Errors and Gives Man 1,000's of dollars"
Oh the possibilities. I would suggest somehow having a very friendly and strong spirit inhabit an ATM machine, and to help you out a little with some cash. I would suggest using the money to do something nice for the spirit as well. I would be interested in this art of magick, let's start doing some stuff with it.

The money has been attracted to me, not the account, but the aim was to get more money in my account. I have found £15, been given £20 by my Nanna, my aunty Katherin gave me a tenner when I went out with her son to the pub, I've managed to go two weeks without spending the money my mum gives me for bus fair as I keep finding lose change at the bottom of my wallet that I didnt know I had (this equals another odd £30). All this has gone in my account to keep the deal I made with the entity. By the tenth of December I should have the whole £100 but right now it looks like I'll have more! My Nanna has also offered to buy me a new coat and she's willing to give me £100 for it. I've ordered some books (£35's worth) from Amazon, the statement says the money has been trasfered from my account but I still have my £40 in there from before...which is odd. My luck in saving money has been vastly boosted since I did the ritual and I have been spending it quite librally too, buying things that I wouldn't normally under my bedgit. All in all, very effective.

Regarding the general question about whether computers have spirits, I don't know.
But one thing is for sure: I believe strongly that there is a web of psi (or something other, call it what you want) that interconnects All. Look at the Internet - it's damn near that web in many ways.
I don't think you can connect millions of people the way the Internet does, without creating some magick in the process.

The net is definatly alive, there is no doubt in my mind. Has anyone read the Tiamat ritual on chaosmagic.org? Its very interesting, attempting to banish the 'Daemons of the Net'. I agree with you in regards to the psi conection with all things. I see the net as a powerful tool thats potential is yet to be realised magically.

Ok... now I'll throw out my idea and be mocked accordingly...
EVERYTHING has a spirit (imho). Everything that is made is made by someone somewhere and in turns takes a little of the lifeforce from its creator. This is in its own right, spirit.
The net... OOOOMG is a huge cluster of spirit energy. Every creation on the net giving its own little chunk of power... every doodle, note, email, site, ftp, etc etc... power to the its maximum potential... but as someone said... no focus.

Original post: Fell
I am currently getting into transhumanism, which deals with issues right out of Mamoru Oshii's Innocence イノセンス, the follow-up to 1991's Ghost in the Shell 攻殻機動隊. This all deals with the idea of non-localised consciousness and ideas dealing with abstract symbolic associations that dictate gestalts â?? subsequently shaping reality â?? and, of course, "artificual intelligence." I am hoping most have seen Innocence, and if not, it's definitely worth checking out.
Having some knowledge of creation myths from around the world and occult lore, it's dawning on me that the advent of digital entertainment is beginning to represent to me, more and more, similarities to the fabled Fall of Man. Christopher Dewdney put it interestingly in his Last Flesh: Life in the Transhuman Era, that the popularity in cultures around the globe today for body modifications and piercings is an "invocation of the cyborg." I find this amazing because of the current development of MMORPGs, such as EverQuest, Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft.
If what the lore states is somewhat accurate, that as angelic beings â?? beings of consciousness, pure energy and thought â?? we lowered ourselves from the higher echelons of spiritual vibration down to the manifest world of matter, space and time. Over the process, we inhabited the world in Lemuria as beings without ego, as pure thought interacting with the spirit of the world. Then we began to meld with matter and, in time, we came to subdivide our perceptions through organisms and ego came to be, slowly seperating us from the divine aspects of the subconscious mind and forcing us to come to believe that the manifest world is all that there is (no thanks to objectivity).
This is, of course, a very brief look at it, but it's a allegorical "fall" of consiousness into a world of matter and time. And now, as people rest into these states where the world is melting away for hours at a time, existing almost wholly in this online realm via an interface (the GUI and monitor), I ponder what will be when the interface is removed and neural hook-ups allow persons direct access to uploading memory to the internet, worlds can be created at will, and access to the worlds data is at the tip of everyone's fingers.
The flesh is slowly becoming obsolete. And even though we live in a world still sadly holding onto Newtonian science and the belief that consciousness is a product of biology, I am observing consciousness slowly adapting to a new realm of experience and interaction. A sort of Second Fall of Man, into a non-manifest digital realm.
And there are ideas that the noosphere that is the internet is an aspect of Earth's energy beginning to manifest in our reality in order to better interact and merge with humanity. It may be that Gaia is building a link from an abstract level of being, and it's beginning to take hold and manifest in our sphere of experience so that communication can be broadened. The word angel did originate with the term angle, and geometry is the language of both the occult and the universe. It was human beings that wrapped symbolic façades of winged saints around these abstract concepts of consciousness, these faceless-yet-sentient beings of energy.
A new age of magic seems apparent to rise, as the objective world wanes and one of intersubjectivity, knowledge and dream-like experiences continues to evolve. Gender is moot, race is history, and the worth of anyone will be based solely on their wisdom. Sounds like an age of transcendence.
http://www.reason.com/rb/rb082504.shtml
Enter Francis Fukuyama, professor of international political economy at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, author of Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution, and a member of the President's Council on Bioethics. "What ideas, if embraced, would pose the greatest threat to the welfare of humanity?" That question was posed to eight prominent policy intellectuals by the editors of Foreign Policy in its September/October issue. In his article, Fukuyama claims that transhumanism is a highly dangerous movement, something akin to an X-Men-like racial prejudice against humans. As if those wiser than the vulgar would want to focus on weapons and warfare, the predominant way of life for the vicious, under-educated, and a special case can be made for half of the United States and European Union.
Interesting food for thought, worth perusing. Especially when one compares the state of the world to the myths of our long-lost past.

My computer likes me. When I think about using it, it returns to the welcome screen before I've even decided. The fan stops roaring when I come closer, and it almost never freezes.
The internet, I'm not sure of. If it has a spirit, what are the chances of it being incredibly perverted and criminally insane?

Do computers have spirits that can be evoked, I wonder? I mean look at the internet...it's practically a godform with all the sheer oodleness of info and power that has gone into it since its creation. well, perhaps not a godform, being that it doesn't seem to have a will, yet.
If computers do have spirits, wouldn't that open up a whole new aveue of hacking/information management? If you could cut a deal with your local machine not to crap up so much cause it dun like you, life would be so much easier for comp junkies like me...
Anyway, post thy thoughts here.[/QUOTE]

I find that when I'm playing Diablo II and I wish really hard about the item I want. and the encoded packet it takes to get that drop from a monster it is a pain to kill the monster. Especially when I'm wearing all my magic find gear that raises the probability of getting a magic item. Then again I find writting a program to poke the code help to. The using your head is more of a chalange.
Really though. I used to sit and try poke the code in my computer. It would crash. In particular though I used to sit with the old Microsoft marque screen saver with random 12 colors and try to force the color to come up the one I wanted. I manged about 3 out of 10, but I was trying to force the same color over and over and over and over. ....
you guys are almost as crazy as I am. I think of C++ or C# as my way to fireballs and throwing them

I also want to bring up the fact that 10101010101010101010101 might work in atoms, and bring up the fact that some people charge audio tapes with enegry and mantra they record themselves light candles and walk off.
The entire sea of dreams/network concept is scary if the machine is getting smarter and smarter. would a living and thinking comuter really have chi or the ability to use chi. I know it has chi, but are we alive in a way it wouldn't be?[/QUOTE]
My biggest question is. Hey, I'm a freaking programer you want me to teach it to do my job?

I think that computers program us to a certain extent. I think they teach us how to use them and what kind of logic to expect from them. This is the logic that rules the dimension we live in, the AI that is all encompassing, our subjective reality. I'm not talking 'Matrix', it's more like what the 'matrix' is projected on.
I have a brain wave generator in the form of a CD, the sounds stimulate certain brainwave activity to induce a state of relaxation. there's also a light show that stimulates brainwaves.
self tuneing with a bio-feed back circuit and a pair of light goggles, the computer could program intresting effects such as raiseing psychic energy, working with chi energy, astral projection, remote viewing, etc.
PS................. INFORMATION DOES NOT EQUAL WISDOM

well, when viewing magick through a "spiritual" or "energetic" model, i really can't see computers being part of the deal. however, when viewing magick as transfer of information (as i tend to do more often than not these days), why the hell WOULDN'T computers be part of the deal?
on a more mundane route, my laptop is a fundamental part of my magick. brainwave generator software, hypnosis tapes, mandalas, notes, journals, etc etc all reside there.

Could you please then name one or two magicians who used electricity before it was discovered by scientists?

*laughs* Seems that I've attracted a lot of the technocrats around here!
One thing I do know- my computer certainly seems to enjoy my company more than my mothers. But that's cause I scan it and keep it all healthy, probably. I know I feel better after finally netting an antivirus and two antispyware programs. It seems... quite content.
