Hacking The Universe

It might seem a bit illegal at first glance, but I assure you that its not. To quote an odd source, Hassan-i Sabbāh, "Nothing is true, and everything is permissible." This quote actually reflects the lawful nature of the universe rather than the chaotic. The Universe does not disallow or restrict the actions of its inhabitants, but rather allows them every measure of freedom. No great cosmic hand will sweep down upon you if you commit an error.* You will of course always be subject to certain effects manifest by the intrinsic order of this universe (while you are in this universe.) The laws of this universe act as the intelligent patterns behind our body's DNA. Every action, every event is played out by the use of these laws. One cannot break the laws of the universe, or negate the effects of the universal patterns that form our world, but one can bend them, manipulate them and find loop-holes around them. Another way to view the Universe is as a simulation or a dream of great complexity and oddity. "Nothing is true , and everything is permissible" is another way of saying, "Everything is only as real as it needs to be." (or "This [meaning life/existence] is only as real as it needs to be." - a quote of my own - ZNP.) In either case, there seems to be only one rule at play here, that is the rule of cause and effect. However one chooses to act, there will be effects which are largely caused by the intrinsic order built into this system. Another way to view this is by looking at the universe as one HUGE equation. On one end of the equation is the string of expressions which represents the initial conditions that formed this universe as they interact with the initial energy for that manifestation [xxxxxxx . xxx = 0] [initial cond. multiplied by initial energy to manifest system = manifest system] If one changes the values on one end of the equation, the values on the other end change, even if ever so infinitesimally.*

I will define an error as: any act which produces an effect which is for the purposes intended 'dysfunctional.' It is my belief that if the universe would have any measure of value judgment (a human term and concept) than it would have to center around this idea of functionality. This system is nothing if not functional, with precious few exceptions (except for those instances where we 'humans' misunderstand either the game itself, or the rules under which it is being played out.)

If one wishes to opt out of such changes - it is far, far too late. The very act of living - existing, acts toward changing this system. The question is, how does one wish to change this system? What changes would be beneficial? (I am well aware that this metaphysical question borders on ridiculous, but it bares asking.) What point is there in living a life that is not examined? Only the greatest Zen master or Taoist sage could reach such a state of bare existence - and only after a lifetime of mental training, which needs examination to render it so.
