THE WEB

Sucks you right in, doesn’t it—as well it should—for you can become hypnotized by the web’s complexity.   

The Web was designed cleverly—intricate little patterns to connect the many spectrums of the Weave.

The universe is a giant web—with layers upon layers of interwoven Directions, all crisscrossing each other infinitely.

The trees in the forest are a web, and they entice many to stroll into their puzzle—leaves unraveling overhead with a rustle— while unknown things lurk, watching from the edges.

The spider’s web is the most orderly of the webs.  Unlike the leafy web of the rustling trees—which can be heard—the web of the spider is silent.

Unlike the universe—which is virtually invisible to the touch—the spider’s web is sticky to the touch. 

The silence combined with the stickiness makes the spider’s web a tool guaranteed to have a lure—especially if you’re a fly, and circular patterns intrigue you. 
It is this guarantee to attract the vulnerable ones that make the web a powerful weapon—and an Outline of the Highest Order.
 
The Web is, also, the brilliantly designed internet—a jumble of electrical corridors that intersect at every possible spot, and in every possible direction.

The internet web has the same capacity as the spider’s web.  It has the power of the weave, alluring you into its patterns—you fly you—and keeping you there. 

Why… the internet is so sticky—often holding you helpless for hours—that you could become consumed by the damned spider, lurking there on the edges.

The internet is also like the web of the spider because it can take you in silently.

However, where the spider’s web is very orderly, the manmade electronic world of communications is not.
On the contrary, the net is a fluctuating madhouse—its center is like a black hole.  There is an overall lack of order—though it does have logical systems—because it was designed by humans—people who very likely take better care of their machines than they do their bodies.

When a system is designed to control an empire—and the designers are people who generally ignore the nutritious and athletic aspects of their lives—the system will have many flaws in it.  For when we ignore the body’s natural need to replenish us with nutrients and to supply us with exercise, we become weak and out of order.  

If the brilliant minds—who calculated all the multiple capabilities of the net—are full of vices and worries, while eating miniscule nutrients and sitting…sitting…sitting… sitting…if these people are deteriorating at a rapid rate—as any self-abusive person would—then the disorder they create will carry into their work. 

Play online if you will—and learn if you can!  The internet is more fun than the T.V. with its constant interactivity.  But the Web is truly a web, so do not allow it to consume you, or you will be eaten alive.

I’m serious.  While you are out there in the metropolis in your mind—as the sites and pictures steal your energy—remember your truth does not live online.  It lives inside of you. 

Substance lives inside of you—you contain the meat—the web is dessert only, and its doses should be small.
