RE: Of Apples And Animals (short story)
Yes, it's such a strange world and I will never get used to being "watched" especially when I feel people in my space and they don't say a word. FB was boot camp for the mind and steemit seems to be a progression from there. I appreciate the educational value and the positive potential for expanding our consciousness and empathy/compassion skills. And as long as we are respectful and mindful not to invade or overstep boundaries, I don't mind being a "rat" in a social cyber maze and experiment. I've developed a keen sense of awareness and synchronicity and I also think telepathy is part of our natural evolution and progress. These cyber environments allow many of us to explore other dimensions and realms of consciousness that we might ordinarily run from or self medicate or miss out on in our black and white 3D reality. Anyway I'm looking forward to reading your favorite quotes and more cool stories.
:) God Almighty! You just blew my mind. Are you saying cyber environments further your spiritual development? That gives me something to think about! I am very ignorant when it comes to cyber environments. In my very limited understanding it always seemed like nothing takes me further away from Here And Now than staring into this cold, false, shiny tiny black window in my hand, full of colourful addictive illusions, trying to suck me out of this moment, right here, where i could be marvelling with gratitude and Love at the mysterious beautiful miracle I find myself in -and truly connect to others. I guess I a man of the past... You are way out there, friend, right on!
By the way: The quote is a Mexican proverb, as far as I know.
Oops I hope that didn't hurt! I'm saying "YES" they have! Technology and progress are a two edge sword and it all depends on how and with what intentions we use them. WE are soul/spirits and will travel and create as we go. In my mind everything that is not love is an illusion but that is not to say that we can't play or learn from our illusions and self-deception. I am open minded and like to imagine we can make our time anywhere meaningful and bright. I love the proverb and very nice to meet you!!
Very nice to meet you, friendly cyber creature!
Yeah a 'cyber creature' that just about sums up how I feel in our alien nation of epic transition. Nice to meet you, familiar stranger!
