# -={_ Christmas Cheer? _}=--
Its that time of year again. All you have to do is to switch on the television or take a look outside to see the 'festive spirit' in action. How many of you have been stressing about money or presents?.... How many of you have noticed that, amongst the chaos of christmas shopping, somthing doesnt sit quite right. I guess what im trying to say is that when you are worrying about who should get what or what you have to sell in order to buy presents, Just remember the most important thing of all... Some of us do not have the same 'festive spirit' as the rest. Some of us do not have family or friends, or even a home... Its so easy to forget about all the suffering at such a festive time... I beg for you all not to forget, or the true spirit of christmas will be lost forever. . . We are so close to losing what is so dear to us, and it is right under our nose...
The only thing at stake is our very humanity.
Merry Xmas everyone, dont forget those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

# -={_ The teachings of Don Juan (matus) _}=--
The basic premise of sorcery for a sorcerer is that the world of everyday life is not real, or out there, as we believe it is. For a sorcerer, reality, or the world we all know, is only a description. For the sake of validating this premise I will concentrate the best of my efforts into leading you into a genuine conviction that what you hold in mind as the world at hand is merely a description of the world; a description that has been pounded into you from the moment you were born. Everyone who comes into contact with a child is a teacher who incessantly describes the world to him, until the moment when the child is capable of perceiving the world as it is described. We have no memory of that portentous moment, simply because none of us could possibly have had any point of reference to compare it to anything else. From that moment on, however, the child is a member . He knows the description of the world; and his membership becomes full-fledged, perhaps, when he is capable of making all the proper perceptual interpretations which, by conforming to that description, validate it. The reality of our day-to-day life, then, consists of an endless flow of perceptual interpretations which we, the individuals who share a specific membership, have learned to make in common. The idea that the perceptual interpretations that make up the world have a flow is congruous with the fact that they run uninterruptedly and are rarely, if ever, open to question. In fact the reality of the world we know is so taken for granted that the basic premise of sorcery, that our reality is merely one of many descriptions, can hardly be taken as a serious proposition. Fortunately for you, I'm not concerned at all with whether or not you can take my proposition seriously, and thus I will proceed to elucidate my points, in spite of your opposition, your disbelief, and your inability to understand what I am saying. Thus, as a teacher of sorcery, my endeavor is to describe the world to you. Your difficulty in grasping my concepts and methods will stem from the fact that the units of my description are alien and incompatible with those of your own. I am teaching you how to see as opposed to merely looking , and stopping the world is the first step to seeing . Stopping the world is not a cryptic metaphor that really doesn't mean anything. And its scope and importance as one of the main propositions of my knowledge should not be misjudged. I am teaching you how to stop the world . Nothing will work, however, if you are very stubborn. Be less stubborn, and you will probably stop the world with any of the techniques I teach you. Everything I will tell you to do is a technique for stopping the world . The sorcerer's description of the world is perceivable. But our insistence on holding on to our standard version of reality renders us almost deaf and blind to it. I'm going to give you what I call "techniques for stopping the world." When you begin this teaching, there is another reality, that is to say, there is a sorcery description of the world, which you do not know. As a sorcerer and a teacher, I am teaching you that description. What I am doing with you consists, therefore, in setting up that unknown reality by unfolding its description, adding increasingly more complex parts as you go along. In order to arrive at seeing one first has to stop the world . Stopping the world is indeed an appropriate rendition of certain states of awareness in which the reality of everyday life is altered because the flow of interpretation, which ordinarily runs uninterruptedly, has been stopped by a set of circumstances alien to that flow. In this case the set of circumstances alien to our normal flow of interpretations is the sorcery description of the world. The precondition for stopping the world is that one has to be convinced; in other words, one has to learn the new description in a total sense, for the purpose of pitting it against the old one, and in that way break the dogmatic certainty, which we all share, that the validity of our perceptions, or our reality of the world, is not to be questioned. After stopping the world the next step is seeing . By that I mean what could be categorized as responding to the perceptual solicitations of a world outside the description we have learned to call reality. All these steps can only be understood in terms of the description to which they belong; a description that I'm endeavoring to give you. Let, then, this teaching be the source of entrance into that description.

# -={_ Hub Donation _}=--
I will be setting up a new Hub soon... For those of you who dont know the lingo, a hub is a computer. More importantly, To put it in relativley simple terms, it will be used as a gateway to the outside word. I have approximatley 1 terrabyte of data which i could potentially serve to the world... also providing a safe and secure way for people to chat,share files, join game servers and access via remote control etc... essentially it will be a hub which is for private users only, so membership is limited. Whats the point of all this? you ask... Well if you need to ask that then maybe you are in the wrong place, or asking the wrong questions. I am awaiting the donation of a new hub in order to put certain plans into fruition. I will then hopefully use this blog to list any relavant hub information. How to connect, faqs, user questions, router guides, hubsoft guides etc... The upshot of all this is that i will be hopefull be able to provide a free service to the lucky few able to join, the benefits of which will become apparent upon entry into the hub. Sounds daunting? well those who know me in the real world, know what i am talking about, so i dont really need to explain this matter further. The donator of the new hub will be given VIP access, or Admin privilages dependant of thier skill.... There are certain benefits to this. Watch this space for Hub information and news and or events....

# -={ On the subject of ideas,Through to the soul of all things. }=--
This entry is going to be on a more positive one, i am going to explain my thoughs on the subject of ideas... My reasoning for this is that we are surrounded by ideas, everything around us in our cities and towns are the result of a persons ideas and inspiration. (and actions). Some ideas can be influenced, through various means, it is these very ideas, books, films, architechture, maths, science,writing, acting, music etc... pretty much anything creative or ingenius, that helps to propagate other ideas and so fourth... ideas inspire ideas which inspire ideas and so on.... we are left with progress.... it is my initial interpretation that this is another form of trapping designed to fix our awareness, or to help keep us busy, because there are so many outside influences that can force our ideas for us... take working for a boss you hate for example, you do what he says or he fires you, you would be suprised at how many people live with tyrants and keep silent.... (note: the word samurai, means...to serve, so the reverse is also true ) In any case, there are ideas which i believe are pure, or could not have been formed without the darkness... Again we have to be vigilant and let our thoughts, ideas and inspiration be our own.... free from all influence other than what is required and or desired(?)....
Ideas or thoughts, are completely usless without action. We must act if we are to fulfill our dreams and desires... it is only through the action that ideas and thoughts become manifested in this particular perception of reality.... Beware, however... be careful which pathway you tread, it is easy to be blinded by the light of hope at the end of the tunnel, and sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a flame, and you will become consumed.... (note: the definition of being consumed by a fire, has many different meanings and metaphorical meanings.. think of them all. They all apply.)
It is the lack of action that causes sadness, this is caused by apathy and arrogance or by becoming distracted or bitter and resentful. Im sure there are many more reasons. To steer back onto the positive... I believe that once people become more aware, they will act. More importantly thier decisions will be thier own, and will become less and less jaded by the world, as more and more people begin to understand... In a way i hope this will prove that a global conciousness exists, and has been here since the dawn of time... it is just being jaded and manipulated by people who choose to do so, for reasons which inevitably equate to money,power and or dominion.... this means that, as long as one is aware of the manipulation present (amongst other things), one can begin to see the world anew and begin to readjust accordingly... it becomes more and more easy, the more time goes on to see through the layers of shit and lies.... more importantly through to the soul of all things.. the truth..
Feel justified and confident that you are not alone, there are many others who are not happy with the world, and many people with ideas, some of which are false or jaded.... the important thing for these people to remember is that ideas are nothing without action....
