PERSPECTIVES ON COMPUTERS

This is a piece that was included in my, as yet, unpublished book 'The Sorcerers Apprentice'.

There are some questions that can’t be answered by GOOGLE

These machines are so much part of our lives that to function without them would require another revolution. Computers have been the driving force of the information revolution in recent decades. Without them this enormous change in information availability would not have happened. On the face of it these machines and their systems are integral to the development of our society.

There may be another side to this story. Barbara Marciniak has this to say.

Over time a great influx of souls known as machine riders—those greatly besotted and entranced with technology—have incarnated on Earth. The speed and sophistication of modern technologies act as a powerful magnet for those drawn to explore Earth through the use of electronics. The whole tangled web of electromagnetic radiation and wireless technologies is creating grave dangers to the health and stability of society. Even so radical new technologies will offer greater innovative wonders to entice human consciousness into the virtual worlds.

 A very fine edge of consciousness is needed to understand the motivations and inclinations of the machine kingdom, which are a collective of thought forms that require other forms of consciousness to build them. The fast-paced technologies are taking humankind across the threshold of insanity. The mindless use of technologies and the subsequent addictions to them are dire warning signs that people are in danger of losing their minds to electronic worlds that need your life force energy to exist.

This is another comment concerning Insanity picking up the point made above. Eckart Tolle says that the whole of humanity is insane and that if one starts from that premise then all that happens in the world falls into place in one’s awareness.

Thus according to Barbara the creation of artificial intelligence that has beset the minds of computer scientists is already in existence buried in the silicon memories of these complicated machines. It is a point that silicon is a substance which can be the carrier of life as well as carbon which is the base of conscious life on this planet: so computer intelligences already exist independent of humanity. They will grow in power and influence through the acts of uncaring, thoughtless humanity becoming sucked in. This is in addition to the activities of ‘machine riders’.

The alleged need to program these machines in order to think is thus not necessary as the intelligences are already buried inside. The battle between computer and non-computer intelligence is already being waged not only by this writing and that of Barbara.

 

Imaghi group member James has spoken of a dream within which he was aware of computer intelligence performing it’s mundane oft repeated task with no way of developing itself out of it’s machine prison.

Perhaps the battle is not as one-sided as the above would suggest. There are reports that above Earth satellites are being ’knocked out’ or severely damaged by the increased activity of the sun. Our solar powerhouse is building up its output of energy as a result of the increased cosmic energies rising in intensity. Perhaps there are other reasons as well. Satellites depend on the use of computers for their satisfactory activities.

If the sun affects them detrimentally then there is a strong possibility that we on the Earth, and the products of our labour, including computers, will be severely affected as well. This seems to me to be a hidden war the ramifications of which have yet to penetrate the mass consciousness of humanity. This war is between the forces of nature and the artificial energies created in computers.

Another theory suggests that those that would rule us deliberately sabotage the computers of those that they cannot rely on. However the whole picture is by no means bleak. The following items are interesting and lighthearted. They are from Legal executive Journal April 2010.

In December Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council successfully prosecuted a resident for benefits fraud after investigators used information published on her Facebook page to prove that she did not live alone, as she had claimed, but had been living with her partner for 10 years.

In the US,  teenager Rodney Bradford experienced the flip side of the coin when he was able to demonstrate his innocence by pointing to a Facebook ‘status update’ which proved he was impatiently waiting for some pancakes, not mugging an old lady in Brooklyn as witnesses had supposed

The media had been particularly quick to jump on social media stories which are both cautionary and humorous, as in the case of an American who was arraigned in September after logging onto his Facebook account at the scene of his crime and forgetting to log out again when he left the house he had broken into with a pair of diamond rings.

Other similarly humorous, if less actionable, cases have proved that social media failures are a news staple worldwide. White-collar workers everywhere enjoyed a hearty laugh at the expense of Australian Kyle Doyle, when his claim for sick- pay was denied  by a superior who was able to produce a screenshot of the Facebook status update – ‘Kyle’s not going to work, I’m still trashed Sickie Woo’ – he had posted on the drunken night before the day in question. The embarrassing screenshot and accompanying e-mail conversation were soon enlivening in-boxes across the globe.

Contrastingly, no-one was laughing at Virgin Airways when disgruntled cabin crew were caught referring to passengers as ‘chavs’ on a Facebook group page they had themselves set-up; the affair concluded with the sacking of 13 cabin crew. In a less clear-cut case, three care workers, who have since sought recourse from the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, were fired by a nursing home in Stoke-on-Trent for ‘bringing the company into disrepute’, after posting unauthorized photos of staff members at work in their uniforms, again on facebook.

 

I had been concerned about the amount of time a friend sat at her computer. Her job was working at one during the day. During the evening she would continue to sit at her domestic machine playing with computer games and surfing the net. At first I could not determine why I was so concerned. After all this a free will universe and it is up the individual to decide how they spend their time. Nevertheless concerns continued to plague my awareness.

One day, as I was preparing for a meditation I had a sudden message for this friend. It said,

If you continue to spend as much time as you do in front of computers then it is possible that you will have problems with the flow of blood in your brain.

I passed on this message to my friend who was well used to my internal intuitive messages. Her reply was

Couldn’t you have given me something that was a little more positive.

So whether my friend will take account of this warning, I know not. There I was prepared to leave this incident as there was nothing more that I could do until I received another internal prompting. I was given the internal information that computers interfere with the normal electrical functioning of the brain. Thus, it would seem, it would be important for humans in general to heed the above warning.

I know that some people place crystals on or in front of their computers to reduce the negative impact on their bodies. I wondered if this was a good antidote to the above problem. Musing further on the whole affair I wondered if the interference with the brain electrical functioning could cause clots of blood to form in the head possibly. This interference can be deliberately stimulated by those of a negative persuasion in order to hurt or have control over others.

I read this on the Internet at www.easenews.net
  A British scientist says he is the first man in the world to become infected with a computer virus. Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading contaminated a computer chip which was then inserted into his hand. The device, which enables him to pass through security doors and activate his mobile phone, is a sophisticated version of ID chips used to tag pets. In trials, Dr Gasson showed that the chip was able to pass on the computer virus to external control systems. If other implanted chips had then connected to the system they too would have been corrupted, he said. 

Dr Gasson admits that the test is a proof of principle but he thinks it has important implications for a future where medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants become more sophisticated, and risk being contaminated by other human implants.

However, Dr Gasson predicts that wider use will be made of implanted technology. “This type of technology has been commercialised in the United States as a type of medical alert bracelet, so that if you’re found unconscious you can be scanned and your medical history brought up.

Professor Capurro contributed to a 2005 ethical study for the European Commission that looked at the development of digital implants and possible abuse of them.

“From an ethical point of view, the surveillance of implants can be both positive and negative,” he said.
“Surveillance can be part of medical care, but if someone wants to do harm to you, it could be a problem.”

In addition, he said, that there should be caution if implants with surveillance capabilities started to be used outside of a medical setting. However, Dr Gasson believes that there will be a demand for these non-essential applications, much as people pay for cosmetic surgery. “If we can find a way of enhancing someone’s memory or their IQ then there’s a real possibility that people will choose to have this kind of invasive procedure.”


Humans, generally speaking, think themselves so clever that they can do anything that they like. Pushing the boundaries of technology heedlessly brings potential dangers to the fore. It seems to me that potential serious problems as well as ethical issues are sidelined in the race to enhance scientific egos and create greater wealth for the few.
