Trist the Compiler - Listen to the Masters

Nearly every mapper of new digitalism forsees human-made computers taking over the natural Universal computer.
This is in part because they see nothing to stop the rapid expansion of computation
And in part because well, why not?

In a sense, nature has been continually computing the next state of the universe for billions of years.

There's a ship coming here
To take us away to the Masters

The notion that our existence is derived like a string of bits is an old and familiar one.
Central to the evolution of Western civilization from it's early Hellenistic roots has been the notion of logic, abstraction, and disembodied information.
The saintly Christian guru John writes from Greece in the first century,
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God."
Is God the word itself?
The ultimate software and source code?
Or is God the ultimate program?
Or is God the necessary Other?
The all-universe platform where this universe is computed.

Listen to the masters

Few ideas are so preposterous that no one at all takes them seriously
And this idea that God, or at least the universe is the ultimate large scale computer is actually less preposterous than most.

All we have to do, and all that we can do is hitch a ride
On this huge ongoing great computation.

There's a ship coming here
(We're going away!)
To take us away
(We're going away!)

We're going with the Masters
Going with the Masters
Going with the Masters
We're going away with the Masters
Listen to the Masters
Going away with the Masters
Taking a Ship with the Masters
Across the Ocean with the Masters
Across the Wretched Sea with the Masters
We are with the Masters
We listen to the Masters
Listen to the Masters

As the giant universal computer keeps shrinking in size,
Its power increases to the point at which it can simulate precisely
The entire historical universe, past and present and possible.
It is a computational space that can resurrect all the minds and bodies that have ever lived from the dead.

This has been an exploration of the first rule of data, that by creation, sequentialization, and recreation shall bring information from beyond the realm of existence, which shall be the utmost pinnacle of being, that permits life for the living and preserves the unliving to one day rise again.
(Listen to the Masters)
This brings us now to the religious material.
(Listen to the Masters)
Now for a word from the Masters

Our thoughts are powerful and magnetic
And have the power and intelligence to manifest into physical reality.

So the Masters Say so shall it Be!
Listen to the Masters!
For they only Speak the Truth and Teach no Darkness
Listen to the Masters!
Listen to the Masters!
Rise Spirit of the Everlasting Masters!
