Don't get stuck in your head-space

"The problem is that many of those involved in the information revolution have nothing else to do with their lives. Pursuing the technology itself has become a vocation which fills what would otherwise be vacant minds. But the type of processing activity with which it engages the mind is wholly unconstructive to the person’s spiritual growth or purpose on this planet. Indeed it is quite irrelevant. This is not to say that it isn’t useful, or mayn’t have valuable insights to offer, but it is effectively neutral. Alas, its not a positive, morally considered neutrality. Its an inertial neutrality, and bears the chains of negativity and control, rather than excitement and release. Don’t allow a pseudo-scientific attitude to override your affective reactions — they are all that is most human, most to be cherished. Your own inmost responses are what can best inform you about your relation to the universe, to us, to your fellow humans, to yourself. Say again “I AM the person whom I AM seeking.”
"Only when you have come to an internal resolution do you have the platform to know anything else. Indeed, without that inner certainty you cant even know what knowledge is — or what you need to know or what you don’t. ‘The fear of the Lord (awe of I AM) that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, that is understanding.’ Just remember 'I AM the person whom I AM seeking.' Once your I AM inhabits your self, you can begin to differentiate between what is actually your own and what truly comes to you by inspiration."
