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.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

1 Timothy 6:6-12 (KJV) Have you ever wondered what people are living for each day, when we are among others in the city, shopping, eating, driving around? How many of them are content with what they have, how many of them are interested in the truth of life and this world? How many are just living simply to fulfill their lusts and vain desires? Well, these scriptures in 1 Timothy really hit the nail on the head when it comes to the nature of mankind. Let’s look at the full passage: 1 Timothy 6: 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 Having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrow...

Al-Anon and twelve step programs are a lifeline

The self-help arena is massive and usually new age in nature, yet the path to truth starts with a desire for the truth about ourselves. What makes us who we are? Growing up, I was introduced to Jesus and the Holy Bible, it was a part of my life in some measure, and I’m very grateful for this. I’m not sure how much of my personality and values come from those early introductions to the Christian faith, yet I believe it helped me grow a conscience. Besides a testimony about myself, I want to write about how group counseling can help a person grow, and how the literature of Al-Anon, AA, and other twelve step programs can help us gain insight into why we feel the way we do, why we behave or think the way we do. I don’t think we understand how much alcoholism and drugs affect our lives, how deeply it shapes our perception about ourselves and others. Much of how we interact and deal with others is based on what was lacking in our families and growing up. Many times, we are stunted and unable...
