"Interacting/Processing. Tao/Te. INTERACTING/PROCESSING!" -- Robert Anton Wilson

Programming programming PROGRAMMING!

Language is key to programming.   A computer cannot be programmed without some sort of language;  our nervous/neurological systems respond to programming as well--the external stimuli that reinforce our socio-cultural programs, emotional responses/reactions...programming. 

Some aspects are out of our control;  sometimes, we can choose our exposure to environments or individuals, other times, not so much.

The individual we tend to spend the most time with--well I GUARANTEE!--the individual you spend the most time with--is to each ourselves.  

The way that we speak to ourselves, the language we use in our heads to interpret the data that our nervous systems are registering, is an ABSOLUTELY FUNDAMENTAL PROGRAMMING IMPLEMENT.  

The language we use to describe WHAT we see affects HOW we see, SEE?  

And that's why I say, that "to miss" is to LACK as "to appreciate" is to SLACK.

Because when we MISS something or someone, we perceive that: it's not there; we don't have it; there isn't enough; we are disconnected....lacking in some way or another.  That don't feel so great, plus it affects how we interact with every aspect of our environments. 

When we APPRECIATE something or someone, we perceive that: it's fabulous; we love it; it is abundant; we are so very connected....those ever present SLACK lines that hold us together in one big beautiful support network that is everything that IS or MAY BE as well as all the space between...there's more SPACE than MATTER, you know, which gives us plenty of room to move...so much SLACK...that matters quite a bit, I appreciate the value of the concept.  OOOH, slack.

Final note: When we allow room for the thoughtlessness that may strike any (perhaps ALL) humans at some time or another, we give ourselves more slack to breathe easily and cope with whatever the frop is happening, and more easily get over our own thoughtless moments, cope, learn, and progress forward.

Always, INTERACTING/PROCESSING!

Thank you, Mr. Wilson
