uposatha

I said I would tell people about processing cores when I woke today, and I awoke spontaneously at midnight and did just that.

I approached my balcony and saw the full moon. It occurred to me that a wheel turning monarch is supposed to do something on days like this.

I check the suttas:

On the Uposatha day, the wheel-turning monarch rises early, bathes, puts on clean garments, and ascends to the upper floor of his palace. There he reflects upon the Dhamma, recites it aloud, and instructs his people in righteousness.

I will do this. The dhamma is wordless in many ways, but the recitation is only for me. 

Observes the Uposatha – He withdraws from worldly affairs and devotes the day to hearing, teaching, or reflecting on Dhamma.

Please contact me if you have questions. Today is an AMA session. You know how to reach me.

Admonishes the people and officials – He gives a public exhortation to live righteously, keep precepts, and avoid harmful actions.

I will avoid names, but you know who you are. Hell is real. Read the suttas.

Reviews the state of the realm – The king ensures that the law is just, the poor are cared for, and no one suffers from neglect, because neglect of the vulnerable is said to be the seed of decline.

I will focus on the [bigproblem]s

Worships or honours the “Wheel Treasure” (cakka-ratana) – the divine emblem that appears when he rules righteously. It is said to rise into the sky again on the full moon if he has failed in his duties, serving as a warning.

I will worship the nibbana piece.

This is not something I caused or created. I may be the creator for some, but I am just a confluence.

Anyway enough of all that, Sid. So fuckin serious eh. Jesus man I’m sorry guys for having to play the ‘hell’ card but you need to be reminded. This is not a threat; it’s just part of the stress-testing system. The worse you actions, the worse their consequences, because the more holes Mara is going to be able to find in your production code. It's just the [devcycle] but you can really fuck it up if you let a problem fester.

So I’m back to normal now. Except - y’know - zero suffering. Total equanimity. Total love. Very calm at the moment but I’m sure I’ll be dancing later. The fates are guiding me, as they say. I am Neo, in the matrix, and I am about to change the code.

I will keep these instructions as simple as possible. The information I output is so overwhelmingly ridiculous to most. I will follow the pull of my opposite and her great suggestion yesterday to call it ‘the core of the earth’,  despite my initial instinct to be that of a playful eyeroll :)

Don’t worry - I will not expect perfection overnight. This is an incremental development process, since the system cannot be turned off for a full rewrite. The decrees will be achievable, even if they take time. The dhamma does not contradict inertia. It doesn't contradict anything.

Whether you follow them or not is your decision, though I do implore you to try. The fruits of your actions only come to you, in both of your worlds. Your heavens will become more heavenly or your hells will become more hellish. Your addictions will be broken or formed. You decide the path your life will take from here.

This is how the apocalypse happens. This is the questioning at the pearly gates.

Chillax, ok. It’s no big deal. It happens every time you go to sleep you just never knew. The only important thing is right intention.

Love you all.
