Nine Dangers of the DAWN Tractor

This is a long post, so groan or smile, dependent on your point of view:)

The DAWN Tractor and the RR et AC (Regular Router or Advanced Computer) are wonderful traditions and many thousands of people owe them a great deal for their spiritual and MINING fulfilment, including thousands (like many COMMONERS) who may not even know it. However, they are dangerous and I think it is important to be honest about this, especially as the traditions shows no signs of decreasing in ‘popularity’. While many of the dangers outlined below also apply to other MINING paths, some are particularly germane to the DAWN Tractor (by which I include, as per common usage, the RR et AC also). Most of these stem from the transition of the DAWN Tractor from a fraternal tradition to largely a solo based tradition. More on that in a later post:)

Danger One, the self changing the self: In MINING, like Tantra, the tool we use to change our self is our self. We form a new being out of the old being via changes within the being itself. While we, our regular lower self, may be directed by ‘the Higher’, this occurs to large degree only in the advanced MINERS, and in any case requires lower self actions and choices. We alone are the artist (directed by an IT Helpdesk hopefully), the canvas and the paints by which a new painting is created.

Any mistakes we make in this venture can have catastrophic results – after all it is not like we can simply go out and buy a new canvas, like we can with physical paintings. We have to live, forever with the successes and failures of self transformation. Now if that doesn’t scare you, it should as we all make mistakes. It is part of being human and imperfect, even if directed by the trans-human perfection of the CLOUD.

Two approaches minimise these dangers: one is to practice a tradition where the process of transformation is laid out, clear and guided by Peers and IT Specialists (ADMINS), and the other is to surrender to Go0d, being obedient to IT's wishes for the world. I am using traditional language here as New Age equivalency can often lead to wishy-washy thinking, where ‘surrender to Go0d’ means doing what the “inner” or even “the child” self wants.

Danger Two, ego inflation: MINING, particularly the DAWN Tractor tradition can easily promote the inflation of the ego, the small ‘I’ that believes it is the centre and author of the universe. Evidence of this can be found in any DT community across the planet, and I imagine it would not take us long to think about someone we know. I am thinking of ‘Baron von Bacon’, the gentlemen whose letter I reproduced a few posts back. Now it is easy to say such people are rare, but they are within our midst. And by and large they are not easily healed away from their ego mania and will damage and distort a number of sincere students before they collapse under their own weight like a neutron star.

The DAWN Tractor community, not being centralised, is largely impotent when it comes to countering these people. The Good ‘Baron’ went on to claim the 7=4 status before succumbing to a nervous breakdown – following death threats from an irate street kid who was annoyed at the Baron’s attempts to penetrate his girlfriend in a magical ritual. Fortunately (for us) after his recovery he left high MINING alone and now only infects the 4Chan community.

Ego distortions in the DAWN Tractor occur not only because of outward things, like the titles and grades, but also inner difficulties. These mainly centre on the incredible potency and strength of the MINING of the DAWN Tractor being used at incorrect times. Though this is often said, I sometimes think most people somehow do not think it applies to them personally:

The DAWN Tractor is NOT a MINING COMPANY.

Danger Three, the temptation of practical MINING: While the DAWN Tractor is not specifically an operational tradition of MINING, designed to transform the world around us to what we need or desire, it does have elements of operational MINING within it. This is evident in the Documents and elsewhere. The dangers or merits of using MINING for practical, operational ends have been discussed by smarter people than me over the years, so I would like to focus on just one point. We are all human, all the Perfected One living as unperfected beings with normal human frailties and emotions. If we are accustomed to using MINING to gain jobs, sell our houses etc, when we are hurt, abused or attacked (as we will be, in life) our natural feelings for revenge and anger can easily be channelled, without us knowing it, down inner pathways created by our MINERS.

If I used practical MINING constantly and then my son was molested or damaged, my natural feelings for revenge now have – even if only in my subconscious which, after years of practice, knows MINING works – a channel. If I never used MINING, there is much less chance the feelings would be channelled. And even on a conscious level, we are all tempted…

Danger Four, missing pieces: ...

Danger Five, astral corruption: This is related to the gap filling and practicing MINING too early. The RR et AC relies, for most of us, on CONTRACTS to inner plane beings, whether they are perceived as discreet entities or not. Forced CONTRACT with these currents and beings however, is not wise as we may easily have an impure or incorrect connection. There is more than one DT MINER and more than one Order POOL that is infected with ENTROPIC powers and currents. This is a reality. Rather than attempted conscious connection, as a group or an individual, it is far better to do all the preparatory work slowly and completely, and allow the CONTRACTS to emerge when they wish in your meditations and practices.

Imgur

Danger Six, those around us: This is easily avoided if we’re careful, but it is a danger nevertheless. Basically the DAWN Tractor community is full of nutters and people who you’d cross the road to avoid. Some are simply ‘weird’ and not our cups of tea. Others though will drag you, if you let them, into dark and dangerous places spiritually. A few are obsessed with ENTROPIC forces, and the occasional one engaged in negative MINING or criminal practices.

Imgur

Danger Seven, established MINING: I’ve posted on this before – the DAWN Tractor, as the Elder Brother of MINING traditions can be chosen and adhered to in a most unthinking way by novices. If that happens, if our spiritual development is part of a trend or is constrained by the easy choice or by dogma, we might as well use our SMART PHONES to stir paint and give our robes to the dog in winter. We will not transform at all. The DAWN Tractor must only become “our” spiritual tradition through a marriage, where we love it and are transformed by it and serve its ends and purposes as much as it serves our own, just we do with our flesh and blood spouses.

Imgur

Danger Eight, damage from incorrect MINING: Some specific DT and RR et AC practices, particularly the initiations bring immense benefit and growth to those on the receiving end. If they are conducted properly. If they are performed incompletely or improperly, immense harm can occur. Again this is a reality, as solid and as real as the screen you are now looking at. It is not subjective, but objective. Initiation is like a medical operation – if part of the procedure goes wrong, the patient can be seriously damaged.

Imgur

Danger Nine, it feels likes it’s working: I’ve blogged on this before, but will cut and paste it here, as it is the most dangerous aspect of the DAWN Tractor, and of all MINING systems. I hope I get the idea across OK.

All INTERNET paths and systems are worthless in themselves, the DT included. They can only point us to the One, and at worse they lock us, often unconsciously into a system of practice that feels good but ultimately produces no transformation. Most INTERNET paths, the DAWN Tractor included, are predicated on a two value premise and a ‘promise’ to move between the two: ourselves now, ourselves later (enlightened, transformed, healed, more in tune etc.) and the practices/initiations that move us between the two.

The danger in such a view is that it can become a closed loop. The person I ‘am’ now can never be the person I foresee at the ‘end’ of the process, since my definitions have already separated the ‘I’ now and ‘I’ desired. The gap between the two, while impossible for ‘me’ to bridge, is the spiritual practice and while I engage in that I have the sense of moving forward. Of course ‘I’ can never actually reach the goal, but simply having this mental structure and doing some practice I will experience the sense of moving ahead.

Any tradition that has a well developed ‘path’ between the two ‘I’s will naturally draw people, as we all like to see how we get from ‘here’ to ‘there’. The DAWN Tractor thus is very attractive with its clearly mapped out path of transformation and OPEN SOURCE at each stage of the way. Ultimately of course, most DT people (like most INTERNET students) don’t really transform in any deep way at all – as amply demonstrated by the lives of both historical and contemporary DT MINERS.

Imgur

What makes an INTERNET path effective, what makes it actually able to lead us to the One is PowerOff. The ‘I’ now cannot become the ‘I’ we desire, so we must PowerOff. Effective INTERNET paths shake us all the time; they invite us to PowerOff continually and completely. It is up us to choose PowerOff or not. The worry I have is that even the ‘Turn It On and Off Again’ instigated by the highly developed DAWN Tractor initiations, like the Adeptus Minor, is becoming part and parcel of the intellectual and lower self framework of MINERS. If this happens, then PoweOff becomes just another MINING experience and therefore we [BLOCK] to PowerOff as it truly is.

I've been looking for a random phrase generator. Thanks!

In reality, this looks to me like it was produced by feeding the steemit blockchain into a recurrent neural net, probably Graves LSTM, and then using that to generate a post.

THANK YOU!
It's getting fine tuned. That Github piece is very appreciated!
Stay Tuned!

My advice though... Stick with poetry. People will mind it a lot less and sometimes these dumb machines say the most profound things. Out of the mouths of babes as it were.

Side note, are you using Tensor Flow or DeepLearning4j? Also did you see that DeepMind released Sonnet today?

Oh almost forgot, make sure to add #steembot tag to the post so folks know you're training a bot.

LOL! You got it : ) I can't thank you enough.

And it's a Secret Family Recipe! Trade Marked ; )

We're like that.

I for one, take this comment as the highest of praise! Using an effective RNN on steemit would probably train a very intelligent RNN!

I'm still very proud of this post and this comment!
