SPIRITUALITY VS TECHNOLOGY

avatar

Spirituality is a belief that is beyond the self. It can be seen in various religious traditions and can involve a belief in a higher power. The goal of spirituality is to seek answers to the questions that people have about life and the universe. It can help them feel comforted and secure.

To different people there are different definitions to what spirituality is, some believe spirituality is been religious and others believe it's the connecting to a higher being more than one self but the same goal amongst all definition is the getting of comfort and security.

Technology is the sum of any skills, methods, and techniques that are used in the production of goods and services. Technology can be defined as the knowledge or skills that an individual or a machine has that allow it to perform its work seamlessly. Basic tools are often the simplest form of technology. The Neolithic Revolution involved the invention of food sources and the use of tool

The invention of the wheel enabled humans to control their environment. The rise of technology enabled people to communicate with each other and freely interact globally. Technology has many effects, such as allowing people to develop more advanced economies and reducing the pollution caused by its processes.

The rise of technology has also affected the values of society. Some of these include the idea of efficiency and the ethical debates revolving around the use of technology.

Anarcho-primitivism and other reactionary movements have criticized the pervasiveness of technology, which they claim undermines the environment and the human condition.
After getting to see the definitions of both spirituality and technology let's see how they are related and how they influence one another.

Technology and spirituality have an uneasy relationship. People often feel that they are not spiritual enough when they msje use of technology to enhance spiritual things.

There is a growing relationship between technology and spirituality that people believe can make them stronger. This relationship can be seen in various conferences and groups.

It is believed that the concept of technology and spirituality is rooted in an old mind-body dualistic theory. It states that the mind is only a substance that is spiritual. This idea that consciousness is spiritual also adds to the confusion regarding the nature of consciousness.

According to dualists, the mind can't be explained scientifically.This belief holds that spiritual growth is achieved by attaining higher consciousness. It involves leaving the body and its material comforts behind.

It also leads to the idea that we can learn about ourselves by looking into ourselves. Instead of focusing on the world, people are more focused on themselves. The idea that Enlightenment is a purely internal condition states that we can fix anything that's wrong with us through our minds.

Philosopher Daniel Dennett said that consciousness is an illusion. He explained that when people deceive themselves, they tend to believe that their minds have created their current reality. In order to wake up to the reality of our being, we need to wake up and admit that we are not really who we claimed to be. To learn about yourself, you need to get over the illusion that your brain produces. This can be done by using external mirrors.

Although mind-body dualism is a concept that can be accepted by naturalists, I firmly believe that the brain is the only component that can produce images and sense information. The mind can be fully explained scientifically by its various functions. Its qualities can be measured mathematically, and physical interventions can be made to improve them.

The brain is also affected by other systems such as the endocrine system and the immune system. These systems help the brain function properly. When it comes to recognizing spirit, naturalists do not identify with the concept of consciousness. Instead, they believe that spirit is the sole physical energy in our bodies.

The mind can be fully explained by its various functions and qualities. Through practice, we can improve our bodies.

We apply spiritual disciplines to our bodies. For spiritual practice, it involves cultivating the energy in our bodies and improving its aesthetics. The goal of spiritual naturalism is to create the perfect body. When all of its parts are in harmony, the body's energy is radiant. The goal is to get the most out of the body by optimizing its numbers. Doing so involves tuning the parts of the body that are in harmony.

You need to experiment with your body and its features. You also need to measure and shape your spirit. In nature, animals and technology are both natural. Technology is not anti-natural or super-natural. Instead, it's evolved from the environment.

The technosphere is a living organism that's evolved from our bodies. It can be healthy or sick depending on its conditions. Its values are revealed through the actions and behavior of its organs.

Being able to nourish the whole technosphere is the goal of spiritual practice. It's like living in an environment that's surrounded by life. Our bodies become more powerful as they age. By using these organs, we can increase our spiritual values.

Through tools that are equipped with sensors, we can monitor our various physiological data, such as heart rates, blood pressure, and weights. We can then use these data to improve our bodies. Technology is not alien or unnatural. It just adds new ways to be animated by spirit. For me, technology is like a living organism that flows out of my body and into the organs of my exosmonetwork.

Through the feedback that my body receives, it can improve itself even further.
Billy Graham became an evangelist due to his understanding of the power of mass communication technology. He first noted the importance of the microphone. In the past, people were only able to hear what they said through echo or reverberation.

Today, mass communication technology has allowed people to hear everything that they said through microphones.

Graham started his crusades through Billy Graham Crusades, which attracted millions of people to a venue in Seoul, South Korea. The massive multi-tudinous crowds and television broadcast that it attracted served as the standard for other televised megachurches.

Today, aspiring spiritual teachers can create their own YouTube channel and broadcast their message without having to secure a TV contract. Some of them, such as Matt Kahn and Adyashanti, have become viral.

Other social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, have also gained popularity among spiritual seekers. The ability to gather spiritual information from various sources has allowed spiritual seekers to live in peace instead of relying on traditional religion's bromides.

Eastern philosophies and other alternative forms of spiritual practice are also becoming more prevalent on YouTube.

The rise of the internet has affected the way people practice spiritual practice. It has made it harder for people to follow their family's traditional spiritual path.

A growing number of people are choosing to be non-believers. This trend includes people who used to be ashamed to be such. Since the 1990s, the rise of self-identification as an atheist or a non-religious person has been the top trending topic on social media.

The term “spiritual but not religious” was coined due to the phenomenon of online dating services. As a result, people now feel like they have access to an instant spiritual expert. Instead of being bound to a single religion, spiritual seekers are becoming more open to exploring their own spiritual paths.

In conclusion, Technology will continue to play a major role in shaping the way spirituality is practiced in the future. Unfortunately, the technology that we use today can polarize and isolate people.

It is up to us to use it in combination with each other to create a better world. They will continue to co exist as they are two different entities that can work perfectly well hand in hand if one of them isn't mismanaged.

Wow. Just wow. I like the art in which you wrote this. Simple and impactful. I learned a lot... Glad I stumbled on this. Also...

According to dualists, the mind can't be explained scientifically.This belief holds that spiritual growth is achieved by attaining higher consciousness. It involves leaving the body and its material comforts behind.

Like you said, The Mind can not be scientifically explained because it is a spiritual entity on it's own. It projects thoughts through imagination, negative or positive, constant projection would give rise to manifestation. Which is why a healthy mind is essential. It is the bridge towards attaining a healthy Spiritual life. I loved reading this. Thank you.
