Abracadabra by Josh Fallis
Justin Ayres “I create (A’bra) what (ca) I speak (dab’ra).”[citation needed] This etymology is rather dubious, however, as אברא כדברא in Aramaic is more reasonably translated “I create like the word.” The second lexeme in this supposedly Aramaic phrase must be a noun given the presence of the definite article on the end of the word (it cannot be an infinitive construct, as the infinitive cannot take the definite article). Regardless, this phrase would actually be pronounced ebra kidbara, which is clearly different from abracadabra.

The Word by Josh Fallis
Amos 8:11-14
(11) “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the LORD.
(12) They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD,
But shall not find it.
(13) “In that day the fair virgins
And strong young men
Shall faint from thirst.
(14) Those who swear by the sin of Samaria,
Who say,
“As your god lives, O Dan!”
And, “As the way of Beersheba lives!”
They shall fall and never rise again.”
Romans 1:18
(18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
(9) The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, (10) and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, (12) that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Spirit and Science by Josh Fallis
Mystical poetry speaks of the Divine Beloved with the closest language we can use: that of love and desire for an earthly lover. Every love song, every song of longing voices the cry for the Beloved, projected outward to another. But deep within there is that longing for something that never changes and never dies. Our earthly falling in love resonates with love of the divine, taking us perilously close to the edge of that abyss where human emotion overwhelms us and explodes within us. But here the comparison and metaphor ends; for the presence of the Divine Beloved takes us beyond the territory of even the most deeply intoxicating earthly love, where the Beloved catapults us to an unheard of place where we are never to climb back, lost in the Beloved, left without will, without why and without any wish of our own. ~Rosamonde Ikshvàku Miller, 2014

The Hidden DEEP WEB by Joshua Fallis
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
What we commonly call the Web is really just the surface. Beneath that is a vast, mostly uncharted ocean called the Deep Web.
By its very nature, the size of the Deep Web is difficult to calculate. But top university researchers say the Web you know — Facebook (FB, Fortune 500), Wikipedia, news — makes up less than 1% of the entire World Wide Web.
When you surf the Web, you really are just floating at the surface. Dive below and there are tens of trillions of pages — an unfathomable number — that most people have never seen. They include everything from boring statistics to human body parts for sale (illegally).

Though the Deep Web is little understood, the concept is quite simple. Think about it in terms of search engines. To give you results, Google (GOOG, Fortune 500), Yahoo(YHOO, Fortune 500) and Microsoft’s (MSFT, Fortune 500) Bing constantly index pages. They do that by following the links between sites, crawling the Web’s threads like a spider. But that only lets them gather static pages, like the one you’re on right now.
What they don’t capture are dynamic pages, like the ones that get generated when you ask an online database a question. Consider the results from a query on the Census Bureau site.
“When the web crawler arrives at a [database], it typically cannot follow links into the deeper content behind the search box,” said Nigel Hamilton, who ran Turbo10, a now-defunct search engine that explored the Deep Web.
Google and others also don’t capture pages behind private networks or standalone pages that connect to nothing at all. These are all part of the Deep Web.
So, what’s down there? It depends on where you look.
Infographic: What is the Deep Web
The vast majority of the Deep Web holds pages with valuable information. A report in 2001 — the best to date — estimates 54% of websites are databases. Among the world’s largest are the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, thePatent and Trademark Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGARsearch system — all of which are public. The next batch has pages kept private by companies that charge a fee to see them, like the government documents on LexisNexisand Westlaw or the academic journals on Elsevier.
Another 13% of pages lie hidden because they’re only found on an Intranet. These internal networks — say, at corporations or universities — have access to message boards, personnel files or industrial control panels that can flip a light switch or shut down a power plant.
Then there’s Tor, the darkest corner of the Internet. It’s a collection of secret websites(ending in .onion) that require special software to access them. People use Tor so that their Web activity can’t be traced — it runs on a relay system that bounces signals among different Tor-enabled computers around the world.
Shopping for LSD and AK-47s online
It first debuted as The Onion Routing project in 2002, made by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory as a method for communicating online anonymously. Some use it for sensitive communications, including political dissent. But in the last decade, it’s also become a hub for black markets that sell or distribute drugs (think Silk Road), stolen credit cards, illegal pornography, pirated media and more. You can even hire assassins.

While the Deep Web stays mostly hidden from public view, it is growing in economic importance. Whatever search engine can accurately and quickly comb the full Web could be useful for Big Data collection — particularly for researchers of climate, finance or government records.
Stanford, for example, has built a prototype engine called the Hidden Web Exposer,HiWE. Others that are publicly accessible are Infoplease, PubMed and the University of California’s Infomine.
And if you’re really brave, download the Tor browser bundle. But surf responsibly.
