I think this needs to be read far and wide. A wake-up call.

Without FB, Insta and the likes I’m already regarded as archaic. Don’t watch tv (it’s in a room without cable connection), skipped the ‘news’ papers (just one good magazine) and don’t follow any fad. I do meditate when the cats are asleep. And try to communicate with my friends all over the world.

But if there’s one thing that would bring me back to earth should I digress, it’s the presence of my cats. They are my first concern.

New Age Spiriturality came out of the 1960s generation looking to have a form of transcendence but not from traditional religions, so they looked to Eastern Religions. Today, it is similar but with Transhumanism, which is really just New Age wrapped in digital language, such as bio-hacking. People and corporations seized on it as a way to enrich themselves.

I agree; the best thing anyone can do is look up from your phone, meet with real people and get out into the natural world to hear the birds. Nothing beats a physical presence.
