Aihe: Re: [unSYSTEM] Silk Road Trial is starting.
i like to imagine that shiva taught cody how to breakdance and he is
windmilling like a mofo. all destruction leads to creation...each time
something is destroyed (from ideas to the physical) we build again imbuing
our creations with and greater intelligence each time...the patterns that i
observe seem to suggest that we need destruction to increase the resolution
of phi in each creation cycle. we need more codys fearlessly busting down
the technical, philosophical, economic, social, and political, decaying yet
comfortable, falsehoods just as we need micro organisms to breakdown dead
or decaying organic matter. stagnation in these areas of human culture has
weakened the species over the millennia to the point that it may have
crossed a threshold of fragility and it seems that the fractal manifests
the system busting entities to help to accelerate creation by destruction
and move us into a robust upgraded human culture.

don't hate the player hate the game...recognize your cosmic role and dance
your spirit's dance...you need no ones permission or approval and you will
be in bliss with the wind at your back. if you are standing in your truth
then push the envelope and watch it bend beyond any logic or understanding
of any human.

the more one focuses their consciousness on judgement of other beings the
thicker and higher one is building the walls of their own metaphysical
prison.

afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.

if you don't know what you don't know then how much do you actually know?
