Can you do that? Like to try...

illuminatrix says,

Consider this a very rough brainstorming of things that you might choose to consider a 'life algorithm' that you can manipulate to some degree (in some cases), or that have a huge influence on you. In the case of influences, it seems a worthy consideration to search for ways in which you can more directly affect your own programming, basically learning ways to improve upon yourself, using whatever system of knowledge or philosophy or even metaphor seems to you the best, the most balanced and desirable version of yourself. Even tiny advances incrementally make everyone ultimately more satisfied the more they realize their own self vision. I have no idea if that made sense, but here's the brainstorm.

Habits, prejudices, routines, abilities or knowledge that you prize and hold at the forefront of your mind, hypnotism (like recording a mantra (whatever in whichever language, traditional or wonderfully creative gobbledygook, either is quite useful) a bunch of times yourself and listening to it many times to achieve auto-hypnotic suggestion), meditation, yoga, altered states (there are many), media that you expose yourself to, people you associate with, the philosophies and attitudes of your parents and close family and friends, your religious views, the ways in which you challenge yourself or attempt to change yourself, the conscious control (to whatever degree you're capable) of how you feel in or view any given situation, your knowledge of human psychology or indeed any science to a significant degree (and perhaps its influence of getting you to question everything and perform experiments yourself) and double especially in regards to the physics of the last 100 years or so that has shattered traditional notions of even what reality is.

This is a random splicing of your total lifescript program (thingie), play with it, think on it as your life's work, your unfinished masterpiece, the crystal globe in your hands that holds your world, your scripture and your perfectly transcribed, unabridged autobiography, both in what has been told and what you have yet to author by experiencing.

Good lord, once I'm outside of six words, they seem to breed prodigiously. Simplifying. The concept, both philosophical and functional, of algorithms is just pretty fascinating. It seems a pretty potent metaphor for gaining control of who you are. Hope I haven't 'overshared'.
