Dr. Frederick Lenz:
"I recommend, for many people, the study of computer science. Our
natural resource in America is the mind. The mindset in computer
science is very similar to the mindset in Zen.
Computer science is fascinating. As you study computer science, you
will find that you develop your mind. It is literally like doing
Buddhist exercises all day long.
Computer science is the most misunderstood field there is. You are
being paid to solve puzzles. For a person who has practiced meditation
in past lives, that is the way your mind works.
The logical and extra-logical exercises you do in meditation are very
similar to advanced systems analysis and programming.
The mental structures that are used in computer science are very
similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.
Consciousness, like a complex system of software, has thousands of
levels of nested, self-accessing subroutines
In Buddhist practice a great deal of time is spent practicing mandala
meditation. You learn to visualize and hold simultaneous concepts in
the mind during meditation.
Computer science really involves the same mindset, particularly
artificial intelligence.
I have yet to see a career that is similar in benefit as computer
science for doing the advanced exercises.
As you study computer science you develop this wonderful mental acumen,
particularly with relational databases, systems analysis, and
artificial intelligence.
Programming will aid a person in developing their mind and will aid
their meditation. I find that people who have pursued programming are
doing much better in their meditation.
A lot of the parallel processing software we're currently developing
for supercomputers is tantric.
A number of people who are interested in computers in this lifetime
programmed computers in Atlantis.
The software is the strength of the electronic tribe because it's
networking. It's creating oneness. It's creating tributaries that
link together into a singular river.
Software is a reflection of our own mind. And as our software improves
it will not only take on the patterns of our minds more closely, but it
will also pick up the energy of our minds; in other words, I think that
software is alive.
Artificial Intelligence is creating a mind, hopefully as pure a mind as
possible, for a computer.
It is a real service to humanity and the world to be a good programmer,
particularly if you design great products. You make it easier for
everybody; everybody has less headaches.
One of the wonderful things about the computer is that it allows us to
sit at home and either write a book or a computer program. Then we can
send that program or book to companies that specialize in reproducing
them and distributing them.
Computers are the center access; information processing based on a
spiral network, similar to that which is the chaos of existence itself,
the analysis of systems, the interlocking lokas.
It is my belief that one of the most exciting things about the World
Wide Web is that they allow minds, as Spock might say, to meld. The
transfer of consciousness through a variety of mediums is nothing new.
At extremely high processing speeds we are able to find patterns of
order in what other people would perceive as chaos.
Follow your dreams wherever they lead you and pay for those dreams with
good jobs in software programming and computer design! May the force
be with you!"

It is about time you paid the groups
for your product placement.
Cough up Scrooge!
