The Digital Age - A Critical View from a Wisdom Perspective

Is the digital revolution, which is unfolding at breathtaking speed, a curse or a blessing for humanity? Is it delivering on its promise of almost limitless freedom? And what consequences does digitalization have for the development of human consciousness and for our souls?

The Wisdom teacher OM C. Parkin offers an astonishing and comprehensive view of the digital age. He shows that the fear of limitation, of human mortality, which manifests itself in the individual fear of death, leads to an inflationary preoccupation with the insignificant. As we immerse ourselves in the ever-accelerating virtual world, our souls become lost and humanity moves further and further away from the true desire for knowledge. "The thinking minds of the digital world conquerors are dominated by the belief in a religion-substituting doctrine of salvation for all humanity through technological progress. In my words: they confuse the seemingly endless creative possibilities of the digital revolution and the life-improving circumstances for many people worldwide that it can create with a path to awakening for humanity. A path to awakening is an inner path, and the leaders of this revolution probably do not even know what an inner path is."

The good news is that healing is possible if we recognize the cause of our misguided drives and reflect on our true purpose – the realization of true human potential. To this end, it is essential to rediscover an appreciation for slowness, as well as for places of tranquility, both in the outside world and, above all, within ourselves.

"What I definitely predict is that all forms of external hyperactivity will be reduced to a healthy level. And it is this reduction that we collectively urgently need in order to heal – not endless growth." OM C. Parkin
