the yin and yang of zen and tao in binary absolute and null values (1s and 0s)

[Jonathan Barlow Gee]

Zen sums zero and the Tao all.

The "Tao" means "the way" - indicating the "royal road" (or "path of least resistance") by which one may progress most rapidly with the most ease to achieve their personal vision of Shangrila. The Tao is thus the Law of most common use in practice.

Taoism, as applied to martial arts, is a means of calisthenic muscle-memory training by focusing one's mental energy on slowing down the physical activities of their biological body. By doing so while applying a series of motive exercises (such as in Tai Chi, or the much more recent Qui-Gong) one hones the muscles of the body into a repetitive series of motions useful in self-defensive situations. Thus, in terms of martial arts and exercises, the Tao is thus: "You have to go slow at first, to learn the moves by practice, in order to be able to do them faster later."

The contrapositive concept to the Tao then is Zen. What is Zen? Zen is the goal of the Tao, yet is unachievable as such - a perpetually retreating horizon. The Tao of Zen is, therefore, the "way of nothingness." This requires a practitioner to do nothing, and to seek attainment of (at least in mental state) a likeness of the conditions related to "being nothing," for prolonged periods of time. The result are the "stationary" martial-arts, such as the asanas and mudras of yoga.

The internet combines "Tao" and "Zen" as such, and brings out all its users' inner Buddha-natures. We can all now sit still for hours and still have total contact with the whole world. It is the same as meditating in a temple and simultaneously teaching an assembly of student monks. It is like being in an audience and on center stage performing to that audience both at the same time.

However it should be duly noted by any ardent adherant that the "Sadistic demiurge" within "western civilization" is a trait of all of us who dwell in it; we, who can afford to get online, live in modern "Babylon," whether or not we may believe the internet to be our modern equivalent of a "Temple" to the "true God" of "Zion." If "Zion's" were a "god" (or even a "goddess") that arose from Nature (as a "natural construct" of cause and effect, given the laws of pre-existent environmental conditions, universal elements, probabilities, etc.) then this "god" we worship on modern "cyberspace" is truly an abstract concept wholy apart from and opposed for its survival to the morality of that "Other," Natural God. The "God" of Babylon is the God of Lies, and thus it is opposed to the God of Nature, that is, the True God.

Thus, the internet is a web of lies, and ruled by its due archetype, the devil, lord over the ancient empire of Babylon. In some sense, this makes the most sense considering the prevalent belief in the devil being a "ghost," and thus a being without corporeal form, yet comprised of mental will-power and or electromagnetic energy. The concept of "Shemyaza" the "fallen angel" of the Apocryphal Book of Enoch being the prototype for the later "djinn" or disembodied spirit of a "nefilim" resulted from the subsquent demonization of the predeluvial pantheon in the identification of "shemyaza" with "Satan" via the role of "Samael" or demiurge, the cosmic devil that wills matter to destroy itself and become energy. The product of this demonization was the image of the devil as an invisible minotaur-like ghost.

If there is a "devil inside," as proselytized by 1980s' pop-rock band INXS, then the "enemy within" mankind expresses itself in ALL our creations, as well as, to some extent, within the total sum of all our knowledge. The Cartesian concept of "cogtio ergo sum" is rarely questioned; yet it implies that an unexpressed thought does not exist inside the realm of material reality, and that, in order to prove our existence relevant, mankind is required to toil, struggle, work and act for, by our deeds alone do we prove ourselves worthy to be recalled by history. Of course, all of this is a terible fallacy; however it prommotes the popularity of the conceptual ideal that, within all of our expressed knowledge, there lurks the true cause motivating the rest.

"The BBC reports on an article in Science about scientists who calculate that the sum of all the world's stored data is 250 exabytes. Perhaps more interestingly, the total amount of data broadcast is 2 zettabytes (1000 exabytes) annually. In theory this means that the sum of the world's knowledge is broadcast 8 times a year, but I bet mostly that's just a lot of American Idol reruns." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12419672 "Computer storage has traditionally been measured in kilobytes, then megabytes, and now usually gigabytes. After that comes terabytes, petabytes, then exabytes. One exabyte is a billion gigabytes." - quoted from linked article.

"A new way to analyze human reaction times shows that the brain processes data no faster than 60 bits per second." http://www.technologyreview.com/view/415041/new-measure-of-human-br... . (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hick's_law .)

250 Billion Gb processed @ 60 bits per second = 250000000000000000 bytes, processed at 60 bytes per second, would take 4166666666666666 seconds (or 69444444444444.43 minutes, or 1157407407407.407 hours, or 48225308641.97529 days, or 132124133.2656857 years). Thus, if reaction time is 60 bytes per second, and total human data = 250 exabytes, it would take an average human brain 132,124,133 years and 3 months to process everything that can be known.

The "cybersphere" of networked "databases" called the "internet" or "world wide web" is ALREADY 8 times smarter annually than you could be after 132.12 million years.

However, it should be well worth noting, MOST of this data is not only "reruns" (as it re-broadcasts the entire set 8 times per year), but USELESS data, comprised of shows produced for entertainment ONLY. From gladiatorial matches in the Roman Empire, to episodes of "American Gladiators" in our modern era of commercial television, as well as, for that matter ALL commercials as well, MOST of "human knowledge" is comprised of "junk data" that is completely without any quantity of usefulness as "knowledge" aside from as acculturation and socialization considered necessary for an individual to survive in our present society. If we were to subtract from the "Sum of all man-made data" the "sum of all man-made data that is purely for entertainment or socially normative propaganda," the remainder would be the "Sum of all man-made data that is useful to know, as it relates and applies to the laws of nature and of the cosmos beyond only earth." This amount of knowledge, while MUCH smaller than the "sum of all entertainment," let alone the "sum of all knowledge" overall, is still the ONLY "useful" or "necessary" information human history has produced over the last 6,000 years or so, and it can be called the "Sum of what NEEDS to be known" in order to project, based on using this sum as a fraction in a larger ratio, what we could imagine to be the "Sum of all that CAN be known."

ALL that is NEEDED to be known can be used as a fraction of the whole sum of ALL that CAN BE known, and thus what IS known can be used to measure the sum of all that CAN be known, as it would repeat like a single cellular pixel "what is NEEDED to be known," but that its content would differ from place to place and over time as well. What is NEEDED to be known is thus like a key that unlocks the pattern behind all that can be known. All that can be known is merely a completed puzzle picture, comprised of pixels, ever-changing, each of which is a measure of "all that needs to be known" at any given place over time.

Each puzzle-piece of "What Needs to be Known" at each place will go through the same, full spectrum of various phases as every other, given a long enough time, though many pixels will lag from a consistent rate of change, and no two may change at the exact same rate over time. However, if you grasp the key, you can comprehend the nature of the lock; likewise, if you perceive one pixel over its entire time, you can extrapolate the complete picture overall as being merely a derivation from this sequence. If you know the total number of "pixels" in a "complete set," you can even recreate the entire image from only one single unit of its parts, however many times this unit's pattern over time may repeat (rows), and however many phases it goes through (columns), for each individual combination of these sums there are (squares).

However, ultimately, rendering "chaotic and ineffable" reality into such an "ordered format" of "logical predictions" and "probable outcomes" is of zero value from the perspective of a student of communications. Stated from the "objective" point of view of "others" in society, "wisdom means knowing you know nothing," even if what you know is everything that can be known. This reduces the inherent value of all knowledge to zero in relation to communications between one person and another. Thus, even though the lowest counting unit of "knowledge" may be ONE, the lowest sum possible in "communication" of that knowledge from one person to another is actually ZERO. In short, if one person's mind contains all the knowledge that can be known, it would require another person with an identical capacity (asymptotically approaching "infinite potential" for knowledge and information storage/processing; an "infinite IQ") who knew NOTHING prior to accepting the "data dump" of "ALL POSSIBLE KNOWLEDGE," OR it would require a person of equal intelligence (infinite in potential capacity) who had absolutely NO knowledge besides what NEEDED to be known (and lacked all knowledge of anything meant as merely entertainment or advertisement), and who could then supplement their own, original knowledge (what NEEDED to be known) with the remaining Sum of all Possible Knowledge. This being so entirely unlikely as to be considered virtually impossible, the result of one person "knowing it all" is, if they ATTEMPT to communicate it all, AT BEST, two other people knowing only one fraction of ALL each. Also, if one person knows only one ratio fraction of it, and the other another, then relationships may arise between them as they attempt to replicate the entire whole by shared recombinations. For example, one person might know 1/2 of all, another person might know 1/3rd of all, etc.
