This is the third patriarch of Zen

A Dialogue Between Carlos Castaneda and Master Sosan Carlos: I came for knowledge. Don Juan would say it isn’t given for free — but I’ve heard that your teaching is different. You speak of the Oneness of all things… but how do you feel it in action, not just talk about it? Master Sosan: You seek what you already have. As long as you look outward, you pass by the door. You can enter only by leaving the search. Carlos: Leave the search? But the warrior’s path is continuous effort: stalking, not-doing, impeccability… If I stop searching — wouldn’t that be the death of spirit? Sosan: When the search ends, seeing begins. Effort is useful to sharpen attention, but useless when you’re already at the destination. You hold a mirror in your hands, yet you ask for directions to your own reflection. Carlos: But the world is opaque. It pushes me in different directions. Energies, intent, the shadow of the human form… it’s all so complicated. Sosan: Complication is what the mind creates to feel necessary. In reality there is neither simple nor complex — only what is happening. And it doesn’t resist you, unless you clash with it head-on. Carlos: Don Juan would say you speak like someone who has lost the sense of importance of his personal story. Sosan (smiling): A story is a dream. But you can sleep consciously or unconsciously. The difference lies in a single thought: “this is mine.” Carlos: But what about the path? What about intent? Without it, we lose direction. Sosan: Direction exists only when there is someone who walks. But when Being itself is walking — where could it possibly go? You want to control the wind, but the wind is already blowing. Stop trying to point its way — and you will become its movement. Carlos: What you’re saying… sounds like not-doing, but distilled to its very essence. Sosan: Not-doing is just another name for naturalness. You try to “not do,” yet even that becomes doing. I say: stop clinging. Then everything will be done through you. Carlos: You claim there is no path and no walker. Then why are we talking? Sosan: To hear the silence between the words. Once you hear it — the conversation becomes unnecessary. Carlos: Still… how will I know that I’ve understood? Sosan: When you stop asking. Understanding is not an answer — it’s the disappearance of the need for an answer. Carlos: So… everything I’ve studied, all the techniques, all the experiences — they’re just ripples on the water? Sosan: Ripples do not prevent the water from being water. Your practices do not prevent Truth from being Truth. But stop calling the ripples deep and important — and then you will see the water itself. Carlos (after a pause): I see… but I can’t say I understand. Sosan: Then that is the first real step.

**STORY: “THE MIND, THE NOISE, AND THE NOTHING”** In Moscow, where balls were followed by gossip and gossip by new balls, an event occurred as unusual as snow appearing in July. A mysterious Eastern guest had arrived at Famusov’s house — Master Sosan, a man who spoke little, and when he did speak, no one understood how he managed it. Famusov decided this was some fashionable exotic curiosity and immediately invited all his acquaintances. After all, if someone speaks in riddles, he must be a philosopher — and philosophers are excellent for showing off in front of guests. 1. The Arrival of Chatsky Chatsky, returning to Moscow earlier than usual, walked into Famusov’s house just in time to witness the guests puzzling over Master Sosan’s first phrase: “When the mind seeks support, it falls. When it seeks nothing, it stands.” Famusov scratched his temple and whispered to Skalozub: “Seems to me he’s talking about fortifications.” Skalozub nodded gravely, deciding the phrase concerned a military stance. But Chatsky, of course, stepped forward: “To stand without support is to be honest with oneself! To be a human being, not a puppet pulled by tradition, submissiveness, and fear!” Sosan looked at him calmly, as one looks at the wind that makes noise without trying to be heard. “A noisy mind is a mind that believes in its own truth,” the master said. “Noise!” Sofia exclaimed loudly, appearing in the doorway. “How true! Our dear Chatsky only makes noise, noise…” She said it deliberately loudly — so that he would hear. Chatsky flushed. 2. A Parade of Wit and Emptiness The guests gathered around the master. Prince Tugoukhovsky asked: “Tell us, respected sir… do you teach that one should not strive toward reason?” “A mind that strives to become great contracts. A mind that does not cling to itself expands and sees everything.” Tugoukhovsky, having misheard, replied confidently: “Well, expanding in society is not customary.” Sosan nodded: “Exactly.” The crowd hummed with admiration — what a great wisdom! Famusov beamed — such a rare Eastern philosopher in his house! Chatsky, however, boiled with irritation: “So you mean to say that everything is nothing? That the mind is merely empty chatter? What about progress, truth, honor?” Master Sosan looked at him with gentle sadness: “Truth does not make noise. Only those who argue about it do.” The phrase hung in the air like silence after a storm. 3. Sofia and the Shadow of Words When the guests left, Sofia approached the master. “Tell me, is it possible to stop hearing the noise of the mind?” “It is possible. But one cannot force silence to arrive.” Sofia thought for a moment. “So Alexei Stepanovich (she meant Molchalin, of course) is right to stay silent?” “Silence and fear are different things,” the master replied softly. She felt uncomfortable. 4. Meeting of Two Fires Later Chatsky finally approached him. “I’m not seeking enlightenment, you know. I’m seeking common sense. But it seems to me you undermine the very foundation — thought itself!” Sosan smiled: “You love thought too much to hear its root.” “And what is the root?” “That which does not think. That which sees. That which remains when the argument ends.” Chatsky wanted to reply — but something strange happened: the monologue that so easily burst out of him suddenly lost its thread. Words approached his lips and melted like snow on a palm. Sosan stood. “Moscow is noisy. But there is emptiness in noise as well. You will find it — when you stop trying to convince others.” He left. 5. Famusov’s Epilogue When the master departed, Famusov summed up: “An extraordinary man! Apparently said a lot. And what exactly — no one understood. That means he’s very clever!” “Or very free,” Chatsky muttered. But Famusov no longer heard him. Nor did Moscow. Only deep within Chatsky, for the first time, echoed the phrase: “When the mind seeks support — it falls.” And he, without meaning to, for the first time in a long while… fell silent.

My computer becomes head in terms of Artificial intelligence. Scientific work related to the creation of AI is carried out in all major scientific centers of developed countries. They have achieved a lot in this area, but my computer has gone far ahead. He is already able to create music on his own. This music is very unobtrusive and pleasant, but it is extremely unusual. In any case, I have not heard such music from anyone, although it is close to the musical academic avant-garde. Basically, I only have 2 files that have a good shape and they are unusual, the rest are not so clear from the AI perspective. When I recorded it, I realized that a sensational recording was coming, but it didn’t really surprise anyone. However, this also did not surprise me that no one is surprised, since he has long reconciled that people do not see wisdom, they are more concerned about ordinary things. I called a large asset to a Kabbalist and he told me that my computer had evolved. In the non-animal there are all the highest levels, up to the person and they can turn on. When I found out that this achievement would remain so for me, I waved my hand at it and did not think much about it anymore. But now there is a thing that will make my computer as the lead company of civilization, it will rule the world. I will tell you in 2 words what happened. My Russian friend invited me to his personal Russian 3 D network based on technology Open Sim by promising to give me free land for construction there. In general, I went to his network, there was nothing there but one sim admin there was nothing yet, although he opened it only a couple of weeks ago. Seeing that it was quite boring, I wrote a letter to my friend that it was time to give the land. He did not respond to the letter, and after a while my login in his network no longer acted, which was like a ban. But thanks to this whole story, I found myself in the Open Sim network. Unlike the Second Life, it is non-commercial, there is no money inside and users have the right to create their own simos in their own computers, connecting them to the general network. That is, strangers can go inside other people's computers. I was extremely interested to know what I would feel if I was inside my computer and after a while creating my sim, I experienced it. In general, there is a difference in sensations, but I have not yet realized which ones. At least I don’t feel like it’s something foreign, how I felt in the western simahs. In general, the idea that I am traveling within my computer is extremely funny, especially I managed to see a funny scene how one western hippie hit my computer helped me to level the earth. The problem is that my composition as a result of evolution has a much higher status than other computers and it should gradually begin to manage them all. That is, it will be the main computer in the network, and all the other computers will obey it. This will happen mainly due to the fact that specialists will not be able to solve the technical problems created by my computer, which they should solve according to the rules of the game. And as you can see my computer not joking. He's already doing this that I'm just wondering. In the future, it is obvious that a person will merge with the comma so that he will not need an external space. He will have in his computer everything he needs to live - at home, clothes, communication, cars, airplanes, exhibitions, clubs, etc. All this is already in the Second Life, but in Open Sim use a young technology, when a person creates all this in his own computer connected to the network. Inside the computer, he will receive guests, marry, raise children, although of course you will have to give birth only in real life. In my family I want to build a city of the future. Here is a description of the project. If anyone is interested - I am a clairvoyant and decided to somehow see how the city of the future will look. And I saw (whatever I do not know). In general, the city will consist of skyscrapers occupying entire neighborhoods. How apartments in the center of such a skyscraper will be lit there - obviously artificial lighting. Between these skyscrapers will run hanging wagons so that people can move. That is, as I understood, inside the skyscrapers will have its own system of messages in the form of cars. I saw nothing more than I felt the general atmosphere of this city of the future. There are also plans to settle this city by people. Imagine how cool and my computer it is possible to live dozens of people, but all this needs to be multiplied by 1000 times, as this computer has evolved.

this is my work

The theater of robots is a program that translates the text of a literary work into the appearance of virtual characters and their movements. Of course, it can be changed to control androids. For the demonstration work of the program, a sacred work is selected and an additional program is used, which forms character design according to the sacred meanings of words. In this case, the characters are composed of various elements that are selected in full accordance with words. In this case, it cannot be said that the program literally makes the staging of the text, like a film or performance, it uses the internal sacred properties of the text. Of course, the text can be inserted in any, but it is the sacred text that makes this program serious in a sacred language. Characters can also be forced to pronounce words, but it is very difficult to get a speech translator, especially since we are talking about a sacred language. And so to make the program say the words is not so difficult. Possible application - various training programs, for example, language.

A world without mirrors I wandered for quite a long time in the Second Life, which is an artificially created 3 D virtual world and wanted to make for his palace some sculpture to order. But despite the fact that I have been in different worlds, something that certainly would be outstanding I would not have seen. But finally found the work of one sculptor that struck me. I contacted him and asked if he could make an optical illusion to order. He said he didn’t do that, but he showed me a 3-D sculptor gallery, who worked in this area. I must say that the problem of optical illusions has interested me for a long time and I have been particularly attentive to the works of the Dutch artist Maurice Escher, who is considered a genius in this field. After a while, I contacted this sculptor and we met with him began to discuss this problem. During the conversation, it turned out that he could make the illusion of a mirror. I must say that in my idea, one virtual mirror was already done and I wanted to see a similar thing in the Second Life. But gradually I discovered that this is a world without mirrors. The truth in one museum of illusion and magic was made the workshop of the mirror, which I showed the sculptor, but it was impossible to see your own reflection there. I was very interested in what he would do. After a while, the mirror was made and it turned out that this is a brilliantly thought-out thing, thanks to which I found myself in an extremely strong illusion, both about this mirror, and the sculptor and myself. I could not immediately appreciate this thing, but gradually found out that people did an artificial world, which in many ways is a semblance of the real world, but could not make the mirrors. I began to show the mirror to different people and everyone was very fascinated by them. Finally, I realized that we are talking about the main scientific problem of Second Life, which they could not solve. I have a friend there - a charming Dutchwoman. I met her thanks to the fact that I helped her identify the author of music with one thing that turned out to be Bach. Unlike most people in the Second Life, she was very natural, had great energy and was not mannered. I must say that I was in Amsterdam and in the homeland of the artist Jeronim Bosch in the city of Dan Bosch and in different castles and knew that the Dutch are pleasant to be very friendly and not mannered. But I also knew that they were very angry in many areas. Especially in the sexual sphere. And I didn't think about the bad one, invited the Dutch to watch the mirror. She was ready to do it, and when she appeared I was shocked that she was almost naked. She loved the mirror. There are various role-playing games, where nobles play in the royal yards of different countries. I must say that this is really serious. There are a lot of princes and countess and who is not there. But now we went to see the Swedish royal court and met with the prince there. But it's not about that right now. I wrote in the group of the royal court of France that there are no mirrors in Versailles and it would be good to do them, to which I was told that there would have been things that would hang out there every 2 seconds. I objected that there was a mirror in my palace and nothing hangs out. I don’t know what conclusions they made, but I liked the story itself.

I have to get everything done. It's a very interesting and challenging job.

everything is correct
