Here is a random little bit of a much
bigger, deeper thought of mine:
It seems as though what has gone wrong
here on planet Earth is that our technology has far surpassed our
conscious ability to rightfully know what to do with it. The
Industrial Revolution happened so rapidly, our morals and societal
organization simply cannot keep up. We have the technology to make
this planet a truly beautiful place; where everyone is fed, the air
and water are clean, and everything is thriving. Yet, something is
standing in a way. I wouldn't call it a lack of intelligence, but
rather, an over-load of something seemingly invisible; the Ego. While
a little big of Ego is necessary for us to identify with our
individual bodies and keep us here, we have far too much that has
gone far too uncontrolled and undirected.
All of the problems here on Earth, like
greed, for example, are simply symptoms of the Ego. We need a new
revolution, before we advance anymore technologically; a Conscious
Evolution (ou, that would make a great eBook name). We need to get more in touch with the world around us,
instead of preoccupying ourselves, before we move forward.
Can you image the damage that
up-and-coming technology, such as nano bots and artificial
intelligence could potentially do if run by humans who are choking on
their Egos? On the contrary, can you imagine what good that very same
tecnology can be used for if run by humans who are mindful and
consciously aware of the world around them?
I think it's already happening. There
is definitely a shift starting to happen; most people are very afraid
for this shift to happen, because it sounds rather detrimental.
However, I think a shift is what this world needs; with the right
goals in mind, I think this shift maybe be difficult but ultimately
completely necessary and quite beautiful.
