The unseeable abstract elements that make up the more of me than the other can "see" are memories composed in a world without words in order to be seen as holograms in the mind of the other. Among those memores are the images of my first encounter with a home computer in 1986.
My brother brought a used TS-80 over to my house and plopped on the table beside my fairly new electric typewriter (with a one-line LED screen for editing), and told me non-chalantly that I wouldn't need it anymore, and with a sniggering, knowing little smile, told me rather arrogantly that I might as well give it away. Smart aleck! I did just that in less than a month.
The next step in my digital adventure that started in 1986 when I was nearly fifty years old was paying for an internet account with a local phone number. Soon after that the WWW browser software opened up a whole world.
Soon after the WWW and a browser were invented internet search engines like Google and Yahoo signaled the end of physical building for libraries, and soon there won't be any need for brick and mortar building to provide young people with a formal education.
I'd bet good money that within ten years classroom teachers from one end of the spectrum to the other won't be needed. Coming from a family of educators, this makes me a little sad, but what is coming down the pike will be easier on everybody.
I foresee a ti-me in the near future in which teaching holograms can be installed within the brain/body just like with software without leaving one's ho-me. It's a humiliating fact that humans are wireless computers just as soon as the umbilical cord is severed. Selah
Nobody yet, as far as I know, understands the true meaning of "Selah". Some translators think it's some sort of musical symbol used because the holy books were originally written in the poetic form. They were set up to be performed for the benefit of illiterate people as stories and parables to elicit an "Aha!" moment as an induction technique for getting the sheeple to put more moolah in their hat when they passed the plate.
Some scholars conclude that Selah acted like a Coda sign. I personally use it as a silly affectation to give my nemesis something to dwell on besides what might matter to his employer to make three mice run up the clock. Why would I not?
The very behaviors that have forced me to be a hermit-like creature came into play yesterday. My youngest brother is an Aquarius and typically he's a very friendly, gregarious person. He eagerly greets people with deep sincerity and it's real. Not me. I know how to do this hale fellow, backslapping routine. We were both taught it as kids by our progressive parents. Often enough, in my opinion, it's politically expedient to act in such a manner, but for me it's not natural like it is with my brothers.
Networking our houses together was his original idea that we've talked or chatted about in the past. I tried to get it set up a few years ago, but didn't have the technical expertise to make it happen. I don't think my brother did either, at the time, but a lotta water has passed under the bridge since the first effort.
He went into business for himself by building a website for selling the books he wrote, and then realized he could sell hard-to-get journeyman's tools over the same set up, and his need to become an expert on networking was forced by the price gifted technicians want for their services.
A few days ago he was shopping for bargains at Lowe's, a home-builder store, as he is prone to do, having a Virgo rising, and saw a real deal on a couple of spools of ethernet cable. $20 for 250 feet (76.2 M) instead of the $150 it normally cost, and the race was on. He brought it home and pretty much dictated that "we" we gonna do this thing. I gratefully accepted the challenge. I had everything to gain, and pretty cheaply too.
My brother did all the technical stuff like putting the right wires in the right place on the ethernet sockets and crimping them together. He has all the tools and testing equipment because of his need for it at his business location. But, all throughout the project we had to go here and there for supplies, and of course, we ate out at his favorite restaurants and this activity put me in physical contact with lots of human beings. Many of whom actually know my real name. Bummer. I love being felix. I'm sorta convinced he will stay integrated when the body goes Kaput!
Some people on the internet know my legal name. It amazes me how readily they accept felix as my real name without pushing for my legal nayme. I created felix as a container for the new personality traits I began to acquire after I received my remembering vision. That's what people all over the world do when they bejin a new life as a genie. '-)

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
