The Old Programming Language

By Chambo Fresh

Old encoding leaves our vessels, our avatars prone to viruses and open to cyber attack from the philosophically dead. When we least expect it, the keen, smart, and educated mind will divert us back into the lands of old ideas, into the creeping mossy lands of the dead. My mind, for example, is a freaking expert download machine, downloading, planting, and cultivating negative ideas within the very circuitry of the machine. Affirmations hold come hard when you cultivate such feelings as guilt, envy, fear, anxiety, and worthlessness. The minute I spot any of these poisonous feelings. I have to cast them out by cyber ritual, casting them out of the hardware, reboot the system with new software. If not the more I think about them, the stronger and more persistent they get. I'll be thinking about this shit all day, everyday until I have to die and reincarnate with new hardware.

The Old Programming Languages are still being ran is this realm. But we've been given tools, all kinds of tools: gyms, yoga studios, support groups, health food stores, art galleries, concerts, tea, medicinals, herbs, fungi, and concoctions. Silly to try and list the amount of resources we've been given now to update the coding. You can think about the same old shit, run the same old programs, or you can update and evolve. When negative feelings arise do I name them, claim them, and dump them?"

The surest way to forget about your feelings is pretend that they are not there. Like viral chain malware, our feelings can give life to spoiled offspring. These little bastard children act up when they are ignored. But, hey, like all offspring, they are here, they are mine, and I am responsible for them. No one else is responsible for your children - not the government, not your church, not your spouse, not your parents, not your baby's daddy cousin.  Even if you would rather make-believe that your feelings are not yours. Do a scan of the system. Dump the programs that are not working.
