Time and Technology Are Overwhelming Us




As the world turns, so do the days of our lives…

The line from the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” which was on in the 80s and 90s. My grandma used to watch those shows along with “Highway to Heaven.” I remember watching some of them with her, which seems like a lifetime ago.

Time and technology are interesting topics in my mind. Time for how it is hard to describe, difficult to analyze in its impact and scope. Technology for how it is taking over our lives and conditioning us in immeasurable ways.

In general, time and technology are moving faster than my ability to understand them in any coherent way; in any way that helps me make sense of their impact in my life or society in general.

While time has been a constant factor in measuring the change that occurs for our ever-dying and decaying human bodies, technology has come about with a vicious agenda, a hyper-intensified importance and progression.

Technology has rapidly changed our perception of time; in my opinion, it has sped up our lives by giving us constant stimulation. We are over-stimulated, always having entertainment, always having communication, always having recreation through technology. There are no dull spots in our lives, except for the dullness of our non-thinking brains that have given up on understanding and given in to pleasure and easy living.

Mush brains, no longer able to think critically, hooked into the hive mind (the technological brain that directs us through supernatural genius and centralized power). Automotons we’ve become, or are becoming, with every technological advance.

God is in control, He foresaw this coming and knows what will happen.

Supernatural evil genius can do its best, but ultimately, it will fail. As for most people, they are on the broad way to destruction. They are sure of themselves and what they know; they shouldn’t be, but the hive mind directs them both on the left and the right.

Most are fighting for their home (this world) and their temporary lives in it; this is their home, this is their everything; what else is there? They don’t believe there is another realm that is their true home; they don’t believe in anything except for themselves, and who and what is that?

The hive mind is getting stronger as technology integrates more and more into our lives, society, business, and every aspect of the world we are part of.

Technology is the solution for the problems it creates, until it becomes the problem no one can escape.

That point is coming; our higher intelligence as humans tells us this is true. When technology becomes our master, our controller, and rules over us without mercy or human kindness.

God is still with us, but are we with God? Is this our world we have to fight for and have strong opinions about, or is our home with God, and we are strangers and pilgrims in this temporary place?

Technology and time are interesting topics, ones that aren’t easy to cover anymore. It seems that because of technology, we’ve become short of time; it seems time is running out as technology progresses. Is this true?

If technology weren’t advancing, would time seem to be running out? Or, would we have the perspective that we had plenty of time for ourselves and the generations to come?

Technology is not only changing our perspective on how much time is left for humanity, but it is also changing how humans act and behave — further leading us to conclude our time is short, as this type of destructive behavior can only shorten our time before the end of the world as we know it.

Time with technology involved has become overwhelming, which is why most people just drink and do drugs. They just want to escape the overwhelming aspects it brings and enjoy the pleasure it brings instead.

Besides, what can we do about it? It is like a train coming that we can’t stop. All we can do is maybe get off the tracks or prepare for the inevitable collision. Still, this messes with our brains, our emotions. How can we stay optimistic about the future with all of this noise and future calamity?

Well, God is still with us. Not in the way the world wants us to think, not in the way people who think this is their home want us to think, but in the quiet place outside of the hive mind collective.

That’s what matters in this time and technology mess. Yet, you can’t love the world and God at the same time. You can’t believe in lies and the truth at the same time. And if it is what the majority believes, you can know it isn’t the truth, cause narrow is the way and few there are who find it.

That doesn’t mean it is hard to find it, yet it does mean you have to stop thinking this world is where you will find heaven. Deception wouldn’t be deceiving, unless it resembled the truth, such as false religion is deceiving; for instance, like Catholicism looks like Christianity, etc.

While time and technology change our lives, the main battle stays the same, yet with different characters and different tactics. Do we know the enemy, can we discern through true history and the present truth, what and who the enemy is? Cause that enemy is going to pretend to be our friend, it is going to morph into a deception that is palatable to our senses, which the hive mind manipulates so well.

If we love the truth, though, we will prevail and see through the deception; we will find the way home in the end. Praise Jesus for this.

3 Ways Small Brick and Mortar Businesses Can Leverage their Websites

Opinion: Most communities in Oregon and the US are Republican, yet Democrats are in charge

2022 Oregon Governor Election Photo  Assuming election results are valid in Oregon, which does take a lot of faith these days after the questions about the 2020 US Presidential election arose, Democrat Tina Kotek won the Governor’s race in 2022 by a slim margin over Republican Christine Drazan. The interesting aspect of this win is how many of Oregon’s 36 counties voted Republican vs. Democrat. Looking at the political map, almost the entire state is red with only a few small counties in the northwest having the blue color. Specifically, there were 7 counties that voted Democrat and 29 that voted Republican. The difference is the 7 counties voting blue are the most populous counties, also the counties with the most residents coming from other states – much like Tina Kotek herself, a transplant from Pennsylvania . Tina only won the campaign to be Oregon’s 39th Governor by 66,727 votes over Christine Drazan. Said in another way, the Democrats pulled off another close election with m...

Plugging Along

Press enter or click to view image in full size The simple things are profound. Hello friends, hope this finds you well and in good health. I remember seeing this comic strip where an older man with a gut and grey hair saw a “hiring” sign at a fast food restaurant and thought it was a good opportunity. The theme of the strip was that he was a plugger — plugging along. That must have been about 20 years ago it seems, but it stuck with me in my journey of plugging along myself. So much was said in that little one picture comic strip. Our journey down here on God’s earth is full of plugging along moments; where our attitude and perspective really make the difference in the type of life we live. Not everyone gets the glory or the recognition. Most of us just work in the shadows plugging along with our lives, trying to do the right thing, trying to keep our heads afloat in the waters of hustle and bustle. I think what I liked about that comic strip was the humility of the cartoon character....

City of the Damned

The people have been spoiled by wealth and ease The city is a place to hide for the damned Wicked hearts full of evil Fearful and suspecting Not able to discern evil or good As they judge everyone according to status and money They’ve lost something important Yet are unaware of the tragedy They’ve been conditioned They’ve been brainwashed By a targeted social engineering program The city is full of pride Haughty people in vain pursuits People who love money and pleasure People who don’t fear God, nor think they are mortal They are ignorant of their miserable state They mistake it for a cloak of glory When it is a rotten rag that stinks like sin Fake smiles and conversations Fearful motives as they accuse and manipulate They destroy and cause chaos With their lies and deceit All those who have discernment should stay far away From the city of the damned
