“Our work is to integrate and eventually transcend darkness and light altogether by holding them equally in a state of interconnection.”

[Thanks Ian Sanders]
* * * * *
In my community there is a phrase that is repeated daily—
‘Nobody boss for me!’ Yet at the same time, each person is bound within complex patterns of relatedness and communal obligation. Indigenous models of governance are based on respect for social, ecological and knowledge systems and all their components or members. Complex kinship structures reflect the dynamic design of natural systems through totemic relationships with plants and animals. Totems can also include other elements of these systems like wind, lightning, body parts and substances.
The whole is intelligent, and each part carries the inherent intelligence of the entire system. Knowledge is therefore a living thing that is patterned within every person and being and object and phenomenon within creation.
Respectful observation and interaction within the system, with the parts and the connections between them, is the only way to see the pattern. You cannot know any part, let alone the whole, without respect. You cannot come to knowledge without it. Each part, each person, is dignified as an embodiment of the knowledge. Respect must be facilitated by custodians, but there is no outsider-imposed authority, no ‘boss’, no ‘dominion over’. While senior people ensure the processes and stages of coming to higher levels of knowledge are maintained with safety and cohesion, there is no centralised control in Aboriginal societies.

"I know how it feels to be misunderstood
To be thought of as the alternative kid
But now you see, clean energy is cool
As with care and interconnection—
always has been."

IT TAKES TWO TO DISCUSS UNION
As we continue our conversations on Kabbalah let us pause for a moment and discuss Chesed in relation to Gevurah. In many ways we can’t discuss one without the other. Could divine love pour through the universe if there were no people to experience it? Occultists recognize this as the principle of polarity. It’s a necessary component of existence itself. Rock with me as we seek understanding.

"Reductionism envisages a universe of things - and simply material things at that. How these things are related is viewed as a secondary matter. However, I suggest that relationships are primary, more foundational than the things related: that the relationships don't just 'connect' pre-existing things, but modify what we mean by the 'things', which in turn modify everything else they are in relationship with. That is because what we are dealing with are, ultimately, relations, events, processes; 'things' is a useful shorthand for those elements, congealed in the flow of experience, that emerge secondarily from, and attract our attention in, a primary web of interconnexions. I have nothing against things, provided we don't see them as primary."

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.”

Network Bandwidth vs Throughput: The Single Car on a Multi-Lane Highway Analogy
Let's talk Tech and Stuff!
Topic: Network Bandwidth vs Throughput: The Single Car on a Multi-Lane Highway Analogy.
#Peergineer #PeergineerBlog #TechBlog #Peering #NetworkEngineer
Although the terms “network bandwidth” and “throughput” are related, they have distinct meanings:
Network Data transfer capacity (Bandwidth): The maximum data transfer rate or capacity of a network connection is referred to as bandwidth. It addresses the expected limit of the association with conveying information and is normally estimated in bits each second (bps). For instance, a 100 Mbps…
