Hi Ignacious, I had a sudden insight about the good news. This was the most radical idea for its time.
In the book of John,a person is given two options. you consider God as bad or good.
If a person decides God is good, then that will be your reality.
If you judge that will be how you are judged in the Day of Judgement. In other words, you make the decision what your reality is. So, Who actually creates your reality? God or you or both? That part was a mystery to me.
The idea was really out there but consistent.
I suspect maybe Citadel could work over phones and modems if you can set up a tty to a modem connection in Linux or something.
That's beyond my understanding of linux these days. At least, at the moment.
Really old-school way of communicating, and fraught with problems thanks to the way phone lines go over digital connections these days, but it might work.
Thank Fleeb, I will put these notes on a back burner for now. I hope it does not happen again. BTW, I never gave up my land line telephone. We once had a power outage in almost 3 states for one day. The only way to get news was with a battery operated radio. a phone that does not need to be plugged into an outlet still worked. You could still call out to the police station. They were having problems with energy also.Eventually the news said that Homer Simpson pushed the wrong button. That was the explanation for the outage.
I still have a land line phone as well.
Unfortunately, even signals originating from those phones go over various lines that vary from digital to analog. As a consequence, increasingly, modem usage over such lines becomes less reliable than in the past.
I'm in a more unique position to know this than some people; the broadcasting industry still uses modems in many places for sending closed captioning from writers to encoders that weave the captioning into the broadcast signal. The industry sees increasing problems with modem usage, to the point that they are slowly moving to using tcp/ip instead.

I don't know about that. The typical arrangement is that the last-mile to a customer's private residence is analog copper, but the rest of the network is switched and digital. 56K modem equipment actually relied on the assumption that the "modem" on one end is actually an ISP terminal server with a direct digital connection to the PSTN, so there is no analog conversion on the ISP's end.
"Tracking" has become a BUZZ WORD today. Think Pizza :) Seems harmless, right. On the pizza box they used a hand sign called the goat. They were "tracking" the pizza in a number of ways and are tracking you also. I actually saw this hand sign and was surprised.
What does the goat mean? in ancient Babylon the goat was AzazEl a fallen angel. These ancient folks sacrificed a goat by throwing the goat off a cliff or let the sacrificet wander in the desert the home of the Goat. Sure the picture is creepy!
For this reason I assumed that was the implied meaning of the goat sign on the pizza box. Today people are tracked using high technology. It is called Big Data.
But, SELF OBSERVATION is a good form of tracking for spiritual evolution. I compare SELF OBSERVATION to the scientific method were the observer is observed in an objective manner.
In "cybernetics" SELF OBSERVATION would be considered a feedback loop. You have aimed at the target object and determined the path on the map. FEEDBACK gives you data if you are on track or off the track or path. You can correct your course if neccesary. Reaching your target object is considered an achievement. That is another image of the goat climbing a mountain and getting to the peak.

"i AM incredibly self aware" From my own experience your statement indicates introversion and ego centered point of view. A person who can say "I am" which rare now-a-days shows a willingness to take responsibility. Today the words "I" and "EGO" are the most hated words. EGO is a defence mechanism to protect you. "I" is a no no. "BORG" mentality is preferred:)
I once liked reading science-fiction as a teenager. I would spend all Saturday searching for books at a bookstore. One time I got really pissed. I bought a book about a cancer story. WHY? did I buy that book:( Ten years later I got a job in a cancer registry. What are the odds? 25 years later the book reminded me that people once believed cancer was contagious. I knew that was true because of the book's story.
DOES ATTENTION KNOW THE FUTURE? I WOULD SAY YES from experience. Is it a mystery to me? you beat.
Loanshark speaaking of sky net I have had a hell of a time geting into citadel and posting. this is my second time to respond.
I was into Terminator also, until I realized the story was ore programming people for a nuclear haulicos which I rejected. I believe most people have rejected the programming .

Is that something that could be cured by a trip to the dentist?
I kind of like the idea of atomic breath.

When I first saw a show about orchids, I thought they were an alien species. The story about an orchid that looked like a queen bee was interesting but I suddenly realized how weird the story was. Even now as I look at the picture, I see different things. As the story goes, a bee drone sees the orchid and acts as if it is a queen bee. Well, the impression seems effective. The orchid pollen is spread widely. I suddenly realized how can a flower without eyes, brain, nervous system, etc. Know what a queen bee looks like? How does it know what a queen bee is or what a drone is? Obviously the orchid experiences life in a difference way in comparison to a mammal, yet I feel her experience is as valid as my own. Obviously, the flower is exhibiting intelligence and knowledge different from a mammal. In fact I felt the simulation could have been done better. The monkey orchid really looks like a monkey. This story reminded me not to make presumptions about knowledge and intelligence especially concerning man and to keep an open mind.
Sorry about the spelling. As I said I was having problems getting onto Citadel and posting. (you will be haqpy to hear that I may not be able to get here anymore.)
Fleeb, the only person who may be into Latin is the Pope when he worships Lucifer. I would recommend you use plain talk for your message to be heard gracefully and without anger.
BTW, why did you guys not use Libre office? It has all your stuff you need and more. Rich Text Editer is crippled and not free and connected with microsoft before office.
And, as far as I know you all do not seem to understand collaboration and organized efforts, which implies no purpose, and you do not understand your self.

this editor sucks.
The government wants every to work on the net renting aps like rich edit. BTW RENTING MEANS YOU DO NOT OWN SOFTWARE ANY MORE BUT RATHER LEASE SOFTWARE. For that reason, I recommend saving your old software and operating system like Linux. THE SAME GOES FOR HARDWARE. They have already started to get rid of the keybord and mouse. They will probably switch to voice one day.
The main problem was legal documents over the net. The signature was replaced by thumb print or voice print and facial recognition. IT IS ALL GOOD:)
