The Call of Spirit in the Midst of Technology

by Dr. Paul Haider
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.
