“Have you ever been hacked?”
I used to think this was only a question about computers, but now I know it is the perfect question about our own thinking, and therefore our lives and the answer is, “Yes I have been.” More often the answer would be for all of us, “Yes I have been, and I still am.”
During a month of dealing with computer viruses and computer hacking I realized that this kind of attack, for that is what it is, provides the perfect symbolism for managing our thinking and therefore our lives.
It is so clear and simple of a symbol that even those of us who don’t understand much more about computers then turning them on and using them, will be able to apply these ideas directly to everyday living.
As I was discovering and repairing the latest hacking on our websites I asked, “Why? Why me?” and the answer was, “It’s not you, it’s them.”
“They,” the virus producers and hackers, don’t know who they are affecting, and they don’t care. It’s either about money, or in the case of a hacking like mine, it’s a point system, how many sites can they take down is the goal.
So asking “why” in times of trouble doesn’t help, it’s a distraction from finding the problem and dissolving what is stopping us from living our lives with grace, ease, and being visible as ourselves.
It’s not personal. We don’t need to take it personally. The hackers didn’t know it was me they were disrupting. When we are tempted to take it personally then we are once again distracted away from dissolving the problem and stopping it from reoccurring.
When a website is ‘hacked” basically what happens is the hacker places bad computer code on website pages behind the scenes which disrupts the natural action of the site. The usual result is either no one can see the website, or it redirects them to another website, which may or may not be a “bad” site. This is done in such a way people visiting a site think it is that site which is the “bad” site.
But it is not the website that is at fault, it is the false code. To undo the hacking we have to find the bad code, delete it, and update our site back to its perfect state.
Look how wonderfully this computer and hacker symbolism points out how to deal with what isn’t working in our lives. Think of it this way. We are perfect. An impersonal hacker comes along and implants bad code within our perfect code.
It could be a bad code about lack, unhappy relationships, ill health, wars, economic collapse etc. It could redirect us to a multitude of emotions from guilt, fear, despair or frustration. If we didn’t realize we had been hacked we might think what was happening is actually who we are and what our life is about.
When websites are hacked we don’t think there is something wrong with the site, we know there isn’t; we know all we have to do is find the false code to restore it to its correct condition.
When something is wrong with our lives, we must start with that same knowing, that there isn’t anything wrong with who we are, it is a false idea or hacker code that we must find and delete, and then the false disappears revealing what was perfect all along.
To get rid of the bad coding in a website we find it, highlight it, and push delete.
To get rid of bad coding in our lives, we find it, highlight it, and push delete.
Although I was able to find some of the bad codes on my own, I had to get help. I got technical help from those who knew the technical end and I got physical and emotional help from my beloved husband. Each offered and did what they knew how to do. The symbol here is to ask for the right kind of help, from those that have what you need and know how to dissolve the problem.
Often they know because they have learned from their own experiences. One woman who helped me said, “Ah, this happened to me, and a friend developed a program I can run on your sites to see if we can find how they are getting in and then shut that door.”
In our lives we can run the “Truth Program.” Turning on the ideas of what is True, omnipresent good for example, and letting it run through all of our lives, will reveal the bad coding that has been hiding out so we can highlight and delete it.
When we found the hacking code we didn’t stay with “oh this is how it must be,” or “if I only,” or “I wish that.” No, we dissolved it as fast as it was found. It didn’t belong, just as hacked thoughts and ideas that are not true about us and our lives do not belong.
To stop it from ever happening again we added new security, we run a scan at least once a day, and we changed all our passwords. I am personally going to be even more obsessively vigilant to keep out anything that is knocking on my computer doors that would harm it and the work that we do.
We live in a time when this kind of obsessive vigilance is imperative. If it is imperative with our computers, isn’t it even more imperative with our lives which begin as our perception and thinking?
Computer scans go within when they monitor the inner workings of our computers. Being obsessive vigilant for ourselves is constantly pausing and going within to notice what we are thinking and agreeing to. We keep the mental door shut to false coding by listening to the still small voice and running a continual Truth Program.
If we are constantly busy, living outside ourselves in all ways, we miss what is sneaking in the open doors of our thoughts. It is harder to remove false codes then it is to keep it out in the first place.
In my case it took two days before I knew it was there, because a vigilant friend pointed it out.
In our lives, vigilant friends (true friends who are not afraid to tell us what is happening) may point out what we may have not yet seen.
Don’t be afraid. Remember bad coding is not you; it is simply false coding that is easily dissolved by knowing what is true, that you are perfect now as the full representation of God, Infinite Love. This is the perfect coding already completed revealed as you living an abundant, full, and happy life.
