Hacking into the Global Brain

If the global brain is a computer, then it can be hacked. It contains files on its hard drive for every person who ever lived, every animal and plant species, and all rocks and minerals. And you can access these files and download them into your own brain. There are surprisingly very little security measures in place. In truth there are no security measures, it is an open system. But the fact
that most people cannot access this information is due to their own limiting beliefs about who and what they are. The pass-phrase to get level-one access is "It is what it is." Level-one access grants you permission to open the files, but you cannot yet download them. Permission to download files is level-two access, and the pass-phrase for level-two access is "I am what it is". But you cannot permanently store the files on your own hard drive with level-two access-- that only comes with level-three access. The pass-phrase for level-three access is "I am what I am". But there is even beyond this a level-four security clearance where we can modify these files, then upload them back into the global brain. The pass-phrase for level-four access is "It is what I am".

It is what it is

"It is what it is."

When you set to work at understanding the inner meaning of this statement, and slowly, gradually comprehend its depth and profundity, to know it as a firsthand experience, and not a bunch of words, you will have the world in the palm of your hand, both as a whole and with all its parts. Repeating it over and over, you will find there are particular cadences and rhythmic ways

of saying it that will generate explosions of information in your mind. It is the recipe for the universal solvent that dissolves the appearances of all things. It yields the universal key that unlocks the doorway beyond all illusion. If you are ever unsure of anything, it will guide you to truth. If you are confused and don't know what this statement means, read it again and it will explain itself to you.
 
But one must ask: where does this path of the utmost simple take us? To a place where the statement "It is what it is" is superseded by the statement "I am what I am".

The Kingdom of Heaven

"To enter the kingdom of heaven, you must become as a child."

The kingdom of heaven is a playground. You must be 'as' a child to enter into it. It does not say you must 'be' a child. It is not a return to a lost innocence. "Even the gods love to play" as even the great philosopher Plato has written. We must grow up beyond adulthood to play the games the gods play. The use of the child simile is meant only to remind us of the innate wisdom we have always had, but have forgotten how to use. But how do we capture the wisdom of the child and harness the knowledge of the 'grown up'?

It is up to the student to ask the questions. The person who 'plays' the role of a teacher cannot answer all questions. You have all the resources within yourself. A teacher cannot give you something you don't already have. All he can do is try to help you remember something you already know.

A teacher 'plays' his role best when he 'plays' on the meaning of words. The Greek god Hermes is the god of writing. The purpose of writing is to communicate thought. A 'good' teacher is one who can skillfully communicate his thoughts into words. But Hermes was also a trickster, a joker, and a game master. And he guards the kingdom of the heavens with many subtle tests. You must be able to laugh, joke and play to participate in the games of the gods.
