[SNIP]

" As a consequence little attention is directed toward protecting the mind and body with a firewall as we have done with hardware systems. Nor have any techniques for doing so been prescribed. Yet the body is capable not only of being deceived, manipulated, or misinformed but also shut down or destroyed--just as any other data-processing system. The "data" the body receives from external sources--such as electromagnetic, vortex, or acoustic energy waves--or creates through its own electrical or chemical stimuli can be manipulated or changed just as the data (information) in any hardware system can be altered."

Ahh, but there IS a firewall for the mind. Ask any one who prays deeply (no matter what KIND of route they take) how they keep their minds' eye clear...I believe there IS a firewall and it is called FAITH.

"If I could tell the world just one thing

It would be we're all okay

And not to worry cause worry is wasteful

And useless in times like these...

I WILL GATHER MYSELF AROUND MY FAITH

for light does the darkness most fear...

We are God's hands..."
