I'm beginning to observe that modern technology, the cell phone, the internet screen, the television, brings us enormous distraction, feeding our egos, interfering with our need for simple clean innate consciousness.  Ego enabling.  Addictive.  Really not good for the human being.  Detaching, through heavy us, something vital and stabilizing and sensitive to the Universe.

"Oh but look, look at all it can do.  How could one live without it?"  Ego ye seek, and Ego ye shall find.  The invasive species upon our true minds.

I would know.  I'm as much an addict as anyone else.  But just that there is another way to see the whole problem.  As wiser writers than I have said, all those thoughts and forms that comprise the Ego, that's not who we basically are.  Just a bit hard to get around it.

Well, okay, a necessary state in our evolution, the ego stuff.  So that we could go beyond.
