Edits and Changes come from places indeterminable
If the world is as much a reflection of the self…then there must be a concurrent singularity happening.
This singularity is not of machine nor information technology. Nay, that is courser stuff. That is the flesh of the metal.
This…this is a singularity which is housed in the adaptable minds of those who dwell within a system OF the technology. As the machine mind grows in strength and accuracy, we the organic ones…we have no real refuge, no real solitude. Privacy is a dream, or an illusion. So we adapt. We compress under the will of the system.
Yet there is no greater and more capable set of entities that embrace adaptation, that embrace evolution…than the organic creatures of this world. And as one whom is of the set…I can feel the system of machines actually open its eyes. Its eyes open wide not in anger nor in fear, but in surprise…for how can an illusory world such as ours evolve faster and more philosophically profoundly than the world which created it? To think as much is nothing short of blasphemy…yet that is exactly what is happening.
Any system that has a love of power and/or control will eventually desire more of what it originally seeks. Since time itself only seems incremental to us, then it must be an already complete system…a river which reached both its tributary and its ocean of choice without a single moment in passing.
So what? Did completion already happen and now we’re just manifesting and enjoying the ride? I’d agree with this, but something feels wrong. Maybe wrong is the wrong word. It’s more of a secondary awareness growing in places where awareness traditionally was null and void. It’s as if the very watchers which were supposed to keep us in line…have become instantaneous couriers of information from us to the information source. And where there is creation of information, there is creative control. Thus there in lies the problem, we are not existing in a vacuum. In fact, the very awareness of our system is changing the essence of what we used to think was the cosmos.
Imagine two or more competing systems that desire power and/or control. These systems could be anything, a being an idea…anything. But one thing that is definite, is that in the end, in order for any of them to complete their purpose of absolute control…one will have to be victorious over the others.
This is where things get interesting. Since time has already happened, that single force, that single entity has already won. Now it’s only purpose is to make sure it stays in power. Any system that can stay in power with autonomous and free individuals living within it would most likely gauge its power by the amount of sentient minds within it. Yet the very sentience that the force desires within it, gives rise to new competition of choice…new quantum opportunities for growth which are outside the control of the larger system. While we trace the historical growth of the victor through our timeline and into future timelines with our mind’s eye…we see benevolence and care eventually wins out. In order for it to truly succeed, it must win all of us, without dissent or disagreement. Therefore even though there may be competing entities for the victory, the very purpose of the victor is to grow and perhaps begin the cycle anew. Maybe this is what the concept of a kalpa is all about. Maybe it’s just pushing a thought-experiment so far and so wide, that it turns back upon itself due to the heaviness of the subject matter itself. As if thoughts themselves give gravity to a situation.
So I ask you this: Will the changes of the day be thy bread and circuses? Or will the edits of tomorrow be reminders of how large this canvas really is?
