Technology comes from earth and man, but is there a spiritual component? Sand (Silica) is refined and the oxygen is removed leaving pure silica. Chemical etching takes place to prepare the silica. The surface of silica is used to grow crystals. Crystals are the key to processing, storage and access of data. These are the building bocks, the foundation of the CPU (central processing unit). This process requires incredibly precise instrumentation and machinery. Ultimately, we're left with a wafer that's ready to be parted out into chips. What coding or programming goes into this process? Technology begets technology, with humans as the intermediary. Technology has turned into black mirror scrying devices, "phones" and tablets, which allow the user to view anything they desire, connecting all to each other. Are crystals the key to communication? To data? If so, how is this different than a crystal ball of old? --- Developers - Devil? Cursor - Curse? Daemon - Demon? Port - Portal? Ethernet - Ether? Is the crux of our technological world truly based on esotericism? Coding uses a variety of different languages to produce a desired outcome. How does this differ from spellcasting in our modern age? ---- At first, I didn't want to believe that technology was just an extension of the spirit realm, as that sounds absolutely ludicrous, yet the more I think about it, the more I'm presented with it as fact. Whether we choose to believe that's impossible or not, we must first ask ourselves if our actions come solely from within ourselves. If so, how far back can we trace our actions to ideas, thought patterns or motivations for those future actions? Are these things not the seeds that birth the action? To say that our actions come solely from ourselves is a lie, as we were unconscious, yet existing, before we became conscious. None truly remember the moment of initial consciousness as a child, yet we remember moments in childhood. Therefore, no actions could come solely from within ourselves, as they could have been planted there, like a seed, before we became conscious beings. As this thought seems scary to most, how much more the thought of interdimensional or extraterrestrial entities that could, in fact, plant a seed, birth, manipulate or interfere with those actions involving us. As far as people who are "religiously" or "spiritually" based, this is precisely the case, as God (no matter which we are speaking of) is an entity which sits outside of our time and space entirely, there before and after, able to do that which we cannot. For those who only claim themselves as spiritual, they must realize that the spirit is not just within but without, in all things, able to bend and shape not only the individual but the external conscious reality in which they inhabit. For the religious, they must realize that as a devoted being to their god of choice, they potentially have no empty action or impulse, as these could be decided by this external force in which they've given access. That being said, there are still those who fit neither of these categories, those claiming nothing but their own tangibility, yet denying the intangible nature of their actions, or mental seed. Atheists, who choose a belief in nothing more than flesh and bone, forget to realize the complexity in which their reality is grounded, the symphony of living organisms in which their conscious being passes through and interacts with on a daily basis. Through order, comes order, and through chaos, comes lack of order. Through nothing, comes nothing, and there can be nothing to come from nothing as nothing isn't anything but itself. There must always be something in order for there to be anything, therefore, there could have never been nothing. There was always something. Some people call this something God, some spirit, some are left speechless at the thought, but there's no denying that there is something, as we tangibly exist in this something, whether we call it earth or consciousness, reality or chaos. So without asking the question, the answer is "yes," technology does have a basis in the spirit realm, as ultimately, so do we. A creation is not separate from its creator, as it wouldn't have existed if its creator hadn't made it. Such is technology. Therefore, where did this creation have its origin point? What was the seed? Where did it come from? How did it form? Who first birthed the idea? For what purpose? Finding the origin of our own creation is no easy task, and neither is finding the origin of our birthed ideas, our actions, from which we've created something, not from nothing, but from something else, as nothing can come from nothing. After all of this, the real question comes into play: are the similarities of technology in relation to esoteric and occult practices of old by design?
