Spiritual Tech?
-
The word “technology” immediately brings to mind computer innovations, space stations, and personal jetpacks that allow the user to zip around town like a superhero. But the term is actually relative, and simply refers to a culture’s use of tools and knowledge to solve problems and improve the quality of life.
I believe technology is spiritual because it’s an expression of our desire to expand and explore our reality.
Most unfortunately technology is abused by the governments who use it to wage war and sew destruction. And some technological advances create byproducts that pollute the air, water, and soil of our world.
This is an example of negative behavior and not a legitimate statement on the virtue of technology. New leadership on a global scale and the reform or overturning of the world banking system would alleviate the proliferation of war and the mainline adherence to outdated inventions like the gasoline engine.
In other words the downside of technology could be eliminated. Used properly, current knowledge could transform the face of our reality and usher in a new Utopian age.
Scientists report that four states in the U.S. could provide enough wind power for the entire nation. And researchers in the UK believe one device could harness the power of ocean waves and power the entire island.
Disease could be eradicated. The human life span could be doubled.
Our species could colonize the solar system over the next few centuries. The far reaching benefits of genuine technological advance are limited only by the imagination.
Technology does not need to be a detriment to our species. Indeed if we applied the spiritual wisdom from ancient times to the pursuit and application of new innovations we could realize an enlightened future; the human race portrayed in Star Trek does not have to be fiction.
I’m posting these thoughts because so many spiritual writers and teachers insinuate the abandonment of modern development is the only thing that will “save” our planet and our species. I believe this is a fallacy.
Our innovation can make the world better. It is only through corruption and deliberate stupidity that our technology causes harm.
When we decide to wake up and DEMAND real leadership at the political and corporate level technology will be used properly.

Technology is a powerful tool. It depends what you use it for. So it goes back to consciousness.
