The Call of Spirit in the Midst of Technology

Technology, Everywhere…

We are exploring the deepest parts of the oceans, climbing the highest peaks of the world, going out into space to visit other planets, landing on asteroids, crossing the oceans with solar powered planes, colliding particles with giant magnetic chambers and much more. Yet, man still has multiple wars going on, people are dying of hunger, and many diseases are ravaging the world. Plus, different groups of people are killing one another. We have men with lots of worldly knowledge, but there is little in the way of wisdom.

What is the cure for all of this? It’s very simple. During the time of the pharaohs, they engaged their most prominent scientist to look into the Afterlife and understand the nature of Spirit. In simple aboriginal tribes, each person listens to the shaman talk about the inner world and the cleansing of the soul and all the karma associated with past lives. In India, gurus talk about going inward to find peace and nirvana. They talk about the fact that peace lives within each and every one of us. We must allow ourselves to touch that peace in order to find enlightenment.

Technology Strong?

In ancient scriptures, it is believed that many ancient cultures had their technology become so strong that it took over, and thus mind-based knowledge became all important. This means that sooner or later technology was revered as their spiritual center. We must take a look at what we have going on today, people spend hours upon hours working on their computers, on their tablets, and smart phones.

And we have to remember that whatever we spend time with the most becomes our spiritual center. Thus. lifeless wires and gizmos have become the center of our soul, and we pay homage to them by giving them our time. In fact, we give gratitude to these wonders of electrical magic for making our lives easier, and gratitude to these wires, screens, and energy cells for being in our lives.

Consequently, our time for paying homage to God, the Universe, and the One and Only is diminished or completely erased from our lives. This leads to a lack of purpose and all spiritual direction with ethical concepts, which guide our life. People become depressed, misguided, and full of anger because they are not happy and that reflects in the outer world. Rage takes over, and life starts a downward spiral path that typically ends badly – not only for individuals in general, but also for nations. The same downward cycle takes over for nations causing a nation to experience drastic changes and become misguided.

Balancing Technology and Spirituality

There are some individuals who can find a good balance of technology and spirituality, while there are others who have given up technology altogether in order to live a simpler life. This means they have more free time, which allows them time to sit and read, time to contemplate, time to go inward with meditation in order to find true wisdom. Ultimately, they decide that peaceful coexistence is the only way to live. Thus, no matter what happens, they greet every challenge with peace.

There are no grand temples, no grand churches, huge synagogues or anything else, just the majestic cathedral of nature. Wherever we find nature, our heart is filled with peace. Silence resides within nature, and God is embraced in delightful silence. Simplicity becomes the center of their being because they have gone back to nature to find the true Great Spirit. Moreover, as with the Native Americans, they see spirit in everything and everyone. Consequently, they teach their children how to find Great Spirit, God, the Universe, and the One and Only in simple things, like pine cones, a trickling stream and even a sunrise. They understand the complexity of Gaia, and how all things were created to give man a spiritual center and a spiritual way of life.

Ultimately, simple pleasures fill their soul with power; a power that guides them to seek that which is important, all things peaceful and kind. It is the power of love. If your heart beats to a different drummer, perhaps it’s time to take up the challenges and make life better for all of humanity by living a simple life.
