-- *Mar**Technology and Self Trust-the Inverse Relationship*
Once when there was no technology at all, your perception and your internal hormonal communication, fused with nature, and the relationship was symbiotic. You lived as part of the great macro body, nature. Your self esteem synchronized with the self esteem of nature, the macro person. You were not observing nature as a disconnected spectator, eager to use nature for your ego and self interest, often divorced to the interests of nature. You and nature lived as one person. You complemented nature and nature complemented you. Today, thanks to your industrialization and urbanization, you no longer trust nature, you no longer trust yourself and worse, nature lost its self confidence, if nature means the living forms, the Biosphere, the terrorized life forms- the more the technology, the more your dependence on technology. It means the increase of your dependence on technology by substituting with technology your natural organs. When you do not exercise a muscle, it becomes frozen and you no longer can use it. The results are frozen hands, the frozen legs, the frozen systems of your body. But you can exercise in unpolluted nature only as nature also participates with you and contributes to your health. Poisoned nature does not help you when you exercise. The very concept of progress has become the progress of laziness, the chronic habit of procrastination, as you lose your capacity to face a problem. Once when you faced a problem, you faced the problem as part of nature, and you and nature faced the problem. Today, your plasma body ( your body in the invisible spectrum), which you cannot see has been maimed away, and you face problems without help from nature. The result is your total dependence on technology. You deceive yourself, that the advance of technology and the extinction of nature is great scientific and technological advancement, which in terms of the modern propaganda are the marvels of technology. To increase the shelf life of a packaged food item, all natural nutritions in it will be removed and artificial or counterfeit nutrients are added, and that preserved thing, the fraud (fortified with vitamins and minerals) are put in attractive packages in the shops. Similarly we are increasing our shelf life by using medicines-the preservatives. The packaged non foods bluffed as foods in the shops are not different from the preserved non-life of yours preserved by the preservatives, the medicines, protested as life in the apartments of buildings cut away from nature, protested as homes. We are living in the great inverse relationship, the greater the technology, the more the diminution of self esteem. I am contemplating on writing a story. Suddenly a man of a new religion sprouted up. He said that using hands is a big sin. All were forced into his religion by the use of swords and all had their hands tied up and made immobile. After a few months the hands got frozen and the God man hailed it, as the marvel from God. A sacred tradition of tying the hands to make them frozen developed. Showing the use of hands became pornography. Then evolution took over. New babies were born without hands. Today the inputs from nature when new zygotes are forming are getting depleted as the air is being poisoned. I do not want to write more. But I am writing a very simple fact, the more the technology, the less the self esteem. YM -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
