A channeled lesson on the Way that is good

siege — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 04:07:50 GMT

So. I was minding my own business, as usual, and ended up being called to act as an example for a lesson held by The Diety Source. As reward, one thing was that I was allowed to write down the lesson (if not the details of examples that were involved) and keep this knowledge for my own use.

Herewith I have immediately posted it, now that the basic details have been delivered.

-----

Blessed are they who...

1. Feed the hungry (the needful), for they will know peace (it is satisfied).

2. Seek wisdom and judge fairly, for they will hold authority.

3. Hold humility and pride lightly, for they will have self-control (others will find it hard to manipulate their ego).

4. Are faithful in love, for in their fulness (that is, with wholeness) they shall have the Kingdom of Heaven. (love in its whole form and its several [multiple] good [beneficial] ways; loving self and other, high and low)

So.

Fulfill the needful.
Judge fairly.
Hold your ego lightly.
Be faithful in the whole love.

These are the keys of Heaven.

Document channeled 11:58pm on Tuesday, June 15th 2021. Voices channeled: 1. Simurgh, Key of Heaven. Designated voice of the primary source for these lessons. 2. Lord Azrael, Archangel of Death-speakers. Speaking in confirmation of them.

100 Characteristics of the "Bad Guy" Antagonist

If your leader acts like this... he's probably not a good choice for leadership.

Trump does most of these things. Publically.

We should have public readings of this vs some common traits of heroic characters, and compare leaders and other public figures to both lists. I think the results would be enlightening!

Prediction

siege — Sat, 12 Sep 2020 17:12:06 GMT

It is observed that the closer to accurate a model is, the closer to reality one's predictions become. Therefore a correct model allows us to speak predictively on behaviors and events.

So I am going to say this:

President Donald J Trump is a psychopath, a rapist, and a hateful person. He seeks his own benefit above all others. He would not let himself lose a fight if he had other options apparent to him, including wrongful options. This includes the presidential election.

And the GOP, having abandoned their party platform to favor a cult of personality, are openly complicit in enabling his misdeeds. If they do not disband entirely, or replace the majority of their leadership, they will attempt this again and not too long from now. After all, the GOP guiding principle of victory is "fight like aggressive chimpanzees and give no quarter".

If you think I'm wrong on this, wait and see. This entry was originally posted at https://zeeth-kyrah.dreamwidth.org/46882.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

A prayer for humanity

siege — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 17:37:45 GMT

Great Keeper of humankind! Whose grace is infinite and whose nature encompasses all possibility for us who are human among the living and dead regardless of color creed form or way, Whose power is the infinite strength of mastery both natural and enhanced, Whose skills encompass every way possible among us, Whose memory is long-lasting and Whose knowledge is as great as anyone can encompass!

Grant us mercy in these days, in every color and way and ability. Grant us justice that we might have a strength unimpeachable in character. Grant us the wisdom necessary for wholeness, if it is in You to give this. Grant us also wholeness of body, mind, and spirit, You who know every similarity and difference within us all.

I ask this as a supplicant small among the masses, but with gifts waiting for good use. I ask this as one humbled and humiliated, faced with questions of insufficiency at all turns, whether social, financial, informational, spiritual, or any other way in me. I ask this knowing that mercy, justice, wisdom, and wholeness are in You and possible in me.

I ask You, Star among stars, knowing that humanity is but one way among many, one species in the vastness of reality. I ask You because I am here, and because I can.

Whether yes, no, or maybe, I ask that Your answer be clear and the way manifest, by signs and means clear to me. If You choose not to do this, then at least let me know that, and I will resign to not knowing, for wisdom is great in Your manifest wholeness, and as diety You have full access to knowledge no one mortal can know or bear.

This I pray before others, that they might be inspired in some way to some good thing.
Thus written, by Your will and mine so may it be. This entry was originally posted at https://zeeth-kyrah.dreamwidth.org/46003.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

Possible AI configuration

siege — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 20:18:55 GMT

Just some notes I'm sharing in case someone wants to try it out.

Neuron: Simple inversion reflex analog comparator, 0.2s memory per comparison segment.

Layer in a group of three layers (one grain): 1, 3, 12, cross-connected in a radial pattern. Pass-through buffer to center joining incoming links, pass-through buffer out of center joining outgoing links.

Allow each grain to read and compare specific data segments, filtered on the buffer in; no match, no pass.

Start with 1 grain minimum. That grain is MASTER and will never die. Add grains to input feeds where incoming signals "white out" active grains with overflow, remove grains from zones where signals live below reaction threshold; training is ongoing, with a slow build and slower decay - all grains can also change filter/mask. Remember you have a database backing up this information, use it wisely, this is simply an analysis unit for the database contents.

Assign types to grains: sensor, motor, thinker, memory. Technically memory are sensor neurons with internal feed and feedback. This assignment can be done randomly on a bias - every zone should have at least one of each, MASTER is always a thinker first, and is connected to a simple clock signal; note that this only changes external connections. Zones should each have at least one connection to another zone nearby (sourcing from a root provides this initially), and one zone a bit "further" away in the grouping.

Translate information incoming to this artificial brain into analog or analog-like signals, typically through a vocoder.

This should form a minimal, reactive artifical neuron brain capable of self-learning AI response. This entry was originally posted at https://zeeth-kyrah.dreamwidth.org/44308.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

Some songs are kind to you

Some songs make love to you.

VNV Nation - Nova

I long to feel
My heart burned open wide
'Til nothing else remains
Except the fires from which I came

Like parted souls
Divided for an age
Awe and wonder I'd embrace
And the world anew again

But now...
This picture from me fades
From steel's cold hand there's no reprieve
Light the fire in me

Shine
Shine your light on me
Illuminate me
Make me complete

Lay me down
And wash this world from me
Open the skies
And burn it all away

'Cause I've been waiting
All my life, just waiting
For you to shine
Shine your light on me

I dreamt the world
With my eyes open
Time moved on and then --
New worlds begin again

Hold my heart
In this universe so vast
No moment was made to last
So light the fire in me

Shine
Shine your light on me
Illuminate me
Make me complete

Please shine
Shine your light on me
No hesitation
Make me complete

Lay me down
And wash this world from me
Open the skies
And burn it all away

'Cause I've been waiting
All my life, just waiting
For you to shine
Shine your light on me

Lay me down
And wash this world from me
Open the skies
And burn it all away

'Cause I've been waiting
All my life
Forever waiting
Shine your light on me

'Cause I've been waiting
All my life, just waiting
For you to shine
Shine your light on me This entry was originally posted at https://zeeth-kyrah.dreamwidth.org/43267.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

A swift 3-D printing revolution

siege — Sun, 16 Feb 2020 15:21:33 GMT

Researchers find a way to 3D print whole objects in seconds

Essentially they use a light-sensitive resin and dose it with lasers from multiple angles in a holographic pattern, leading to shape-locking intensity along the body of focus. It's not only fast, it's more precise than other high-speed methods, and being entirely hands-off you can use it on transparent containers -- leading to use under truly sterile conditions. Right now the scale is small (a couple of centimeters, or about an inch), but the developers intend to scale it up to at least 15cm (about 6 inches).

I imagine this is one of the ways that MEMS devices could be produced, including nanites; or maybe we could do micro-fluidics such as material sorters and mini-hydraulic engines. Once you start doping the resin to give it new properties, and adding non-plastic components to the build, the sky is pretty much the limit!
