Awareness

My childhood through my adulthood was a huge awakening to the world around me. The younger I was the more my environment was shrouded in mystery. There was physically more vegetation around me which has been cut, burned, or abandoned as I have gotten older. The places that had no end, nor understood boundaries opened up with aging.

My mental awareness grew with my changing habitat. There were events that cleared away the hiding places. Now that there was less concealment I was made aware of more of the monsters and angles that were hidden from my sight.

There is a whole world competing for our attention, and yet quantity has out ruled quality. The tech monster has an infinite amount of information and given everyone a personalized portal into the realm of quantity. when our awareness is at max capacity all of the time then we become uncomfortable in a lack of stimulation. The tech monster bombards with information which seizes our attention. We are rendered blind to the world because we have no room new in our awareness.

I am deeply interested in a detox, where I enter less information into my mind so that I can be more deeply aware of the present. Getting rid of our phones is growing all the more impossible. The reward of doing so would be a monumental opening of awareness that I liken to a rebirth.

I am displeased when I enter lackluster information into my awareness. Human Beings have been blessed with incredible capabilities of sensing the world around us. We are conscious of life including our own. Our awareness is remarkable and we are then able to communicate what we have sensed. This seems deeply misused when we enter meaningless information that is so prevalent in the communication of information. It feels more right to enter nature into consciousness as compared to traffic.
