Human Modern Progression a move forward to
Degression
I've been thinking about our modern day progression and what our
"progressed" society looks like in reality.
We think we have progressed, we have built machines that serves us
well (computers). We plan for a bright painless easy future day by
day. This bright "perfect" society future is nothing more than the
dream of communism in its complete form.
But in what sense we have actually progressed ?? Everyone who
really sees what happens around us notice the big changes we
experience. On the surface it looks like our life has become much
easier with all this technology surrounding us. The number of
computers which is said to help us to leap towards this bright
future increases day by day. With this however increases the need
to support technology. Suddenly it happens that the old believe
that computers are just a tool to make our life earier becomes a
modern day slavery. Most of the developed or under development
countries people are nowdays almost full time spending in front of
the computer screen on the internet. We put our lifes in the mercy
of man-created computers and it has become impossible that we live
or exist independetly without them.
Computers are everywhere around us starting from the work Desk, at
hand with a notebook, ipad, mobile phones, cars, airplanes. There
is rarely to see any technology we use which works with not some
kind of primitive or advanced computer embedded ,,,
In the rise of computers as we know it computer was just a tool to
help us along with the other overall thought and inventions
development. Now from just being a tool to help us progress
Computers become the common ground on which almost everything in
life works.
I'm sure many people who started learning computer technology 15-20
years ago (like me) never imagined computers will integrate so
heavily in our daily activities as they eventually did.
We use computers for the sake of planning which in "spiritual
language" is predicting the future or prophecise what is about to
come in the short future. In reality what we do mostly even not
realizingly is to try to predict and modify the future through
technology.
This concept is also existing in most sci-fi movies, made in last
60 years. Mobile phones revolution give the humanity a tool through
which telepathy we've seen in so many SCI-FI is reality. The mobile
phone is just a platform through which (phone calls) or better said
voice telepathy has become possible. In that manner of thoughts it
is obvious that Video phone calls is a voice + visual telepathy.
The Skype revolution and Video and voice conferences is brought was
just until recently seen on the sci-fi movies where spaceship crews
communicated with other spaceship crews by using a Visual
conferences like skype.
It is really hard to believe that for just few years now everyone
can speak with ease with everyone else on the planet in the same
way just like we've seen in the movies as some foreign abstract
concept!
Now suddenly most people on earth are equipped with technology with
gives them the power to do everything but it is my firm believe
people are not ready to wisely use this power. Therefore instead of
using this higher technology wisely technology is used mostly
senseless and the more technological advancement grows and becomes
more accessible to the masses the more the tendency to use the
technology for shit grows.
I'm sure people who have a good knowledge on programming and how
computer works are already seriously aware of this enormous
problem.
Another severe problem with the raise of technology is the language
slang it introduces. This tech-slang is adopted quickly all around
the society and suddenly as a result the human language as we know
it is seriously substituted by a vague tech words mambo-jambo
words. Actually the adoption of tech buzz words in modern day
society language makes a great harm for the reason communication
between people becomes less descriptive and therefore harder.
In short the result of this tech slang language inside our national
languages is inability for people to communicate properly. This
tendency is well seen if you for example try to make a comparison
between old and newer movies. The newer the movie the less
meaningful it is. It is true newer ones has much more as a visual
adds than the predecessor but when talking about consistency the
newer films are missing this point seriously.
As newer generations are born and raised up with this newer movies
and "advanced" TV and computers this people doesn't even have most
of the time the opportunity to see older human taped
knowledge.
Even for youngesters who have somehow a wise parents enough to
teach them in a religious way or just have the "luck" to have
parents with old world mindset it will be extremely hard if not
impossible for this kids to understand the old knowledge, as most
of their same age school / university fellows will only talk about
the newer things.
Besides all this, computers as they grow needs more and more
support "nurturing" so day by day more and more people has to be
busy with managing and supporting tech stuff. Suddenly it is no
longer clear if computers serve us or we serve them, this tendency
is already somehow evident but not so clearly as it will be in the
short 5 to 10 years.
Therefore we slowly but surely are moving to a society which might
become "enslaved by technology". Why I say here enslaved, because
if we spend our time on fixing computers and technology and working
with one virtual reality (which is non-reality) in essence this
means we no longer have a physical freedom in the sense it was God
given.
There is no doubt computers at present appears to do us a big good,
but if you think a bit strategically it is obvious this good has
it's price. By adopting all this technology without questioning
ourselves on how this will impact our human freedom, we build a
computerized jail around us. At first this jail appears to be so
wide that it seems it does not interfere with our freedom, but with
the introduction of newer and newer computer technology this jail
becomes narrower as to the point where it could threat our physical
existence freedom.
For those who could argue my thoughs I will ask two simple
questions to show you how dependent we've become on
technology;;;
What was the last time you switched off your mobile for a week
?
What was the last time you didn't used computers and the
internet for a week time ?
Obviously rarely we can find someone that will answer positively to
this question or even the thought of
switching off from this
so globalized society by dropping off tech stuff for a week seems
scary.
This constant connectiodness that we're day-by-day heavily exposed
to is scary, because it steals little-by-little our natural freedom
for
seclusion /
pravicy /
solitude.
This freedoms, were essential and especially for Christian saints
and many of the people in the Holy Bible if we read closely we will
find out they have used this freedom in parts of their lives
especially the seclusion to hear and understand God's will for
their life.
Since technology is stealing us the freedom to seclude ourselves
this means it steals our basic natural freedom to communicate with
God and our natural self ,,,
The consequence of this separation from God and unification with
"the world" surely will lead to spiritual blindness and lack of
good foundation or higher life purpose, in other words lost path in
life.
This is happening all along right in front our eyes now.
Maybe the worst thing of globalization is it doesn't unite people
on a soul level but rather separates them. The unification that
tech boom gives to people is in the "virtual reality" but this is
not a real unification as it is unification in a media which is not
real.
Yes Virtual Reality is not real, that's why it is called Virtual
isn't it?
I've been thinking over all this problems more and more and I'm
starting to come to conclusion that people who wish to keep their
essential physical freedom need to GET OUT from this tech lie, we
have lived in.
For this however more people need to first realize that;;;
1.
TECHNOLOGY LEADS US NOWHERE!
2.
People who want to live without technology need to organize
in groups -
(and get used to a natural living growing food,
being near to a natural springing water, taking care for each
other, living in a Christian commune like - like in the old
days)
Actually if we read the old testament's story of Moses escaping the
upcoming flood, I believe what is about to come to us as a
consequence of this out of boundaries technologization is pretty
much like the old testamental flood (this should happen sooner or
later).
Moses was wise enough to make himself an Ark and prepare himself
for the storm. Today most people are so busy that they don't see
the storm coming. I'll be glad to hear from people who has the same
thinking as me and want to organize in a groups and live an old
humble way of life without technology.
I'm convinced people who have realized all this tech short future
bad consequences on humanity, need to have a common communication
media and share their knowledge on how we can find a way to live
tech free in this age. I'm curious am I the only one with such
thoughts or other get into this insight too. If you have come to
conclusions I did please contact me in comments. Thank you.
