the upside of technology…

People on their phones on a trainFrom Peter Diamonds’ Tech Blog, 11/29/15:

This might be a controversial blog.

My Thanksgiving was one filled with texting, Snapchat, Skyping, Facetime, Beam robots and ringing phones.

Some people HATE the way technology impacts their family at gatherings – people on digital devices rather than having conversations – ‘making us more alone, even when we’re together.’ But is that really true?

This blog is about perspective on the impact of digital devices, and the bigger picture on what’s going on: an accelerating trend where our connection with people is independent of our physical location.

We’ve ALWAYS said that new technology isolates us

“Back in my day, we didn’t have all these distractions”
– Millions of disgruntled grandparents around the world.

“Yeah, in your day, life was pretty boring and disconnected.”
– Millions of millennials today.

We’ve always preferred to get what we want, when we want. Every new communication technology has moved us closer to “immediate,” “faster,” “cheaper,” “higher quality” and “instant” communications with whomever we want, whenever we want.

And that trend is accelerating.

The fact is we tend to romanticize the past. And we like to complain about the present. And we are resistant to change. Check out the two photos below that clearly tell that story.

The Upside of Technology

This Thanksgiving I was in constant contact with relatives scattered around the world: one niece in London by Facetime, another niece in Hungary by BEAM robot, and friends around the world by Skype, Facetime and Beam.

100 Years Ago… holiday contact with distant relatives either didn’t happen, happened through infrequent snail mail, or rarely through a long trek by horse and buggy. Ultimately you were stuck with (more…)

It’s Not About When, It’s About Who

The Singularity is a term many people have heard but few understand. It’s been used to describe a moment in our near future when known scientific laws break down, when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence. The two big questions are: when will this happen and will mankind survive?

But there’s a very different way to view this phenomenon. From a modern spiritual perspective, the Singularity is already here. Consciousness creates itself newly in each moment. Now, now and now… consciousness is evolving, and it includes both biology and technology.

This webinar explores the Singularity archetype, not as a future happening but as a present moment experience. You’ve already glimpsed it. Do you want to live it?

Quantum physics has become popular through films like What the Bleep, and increasing numbers of people who would never describe themselves as “scientific” are exploring novel concepts of reality and learning that it’s not what we were taught and told, and it’s not what we thought.

Imagine gaining a deep understanding of the way things really are. What a profound difference this could make in your life… to truly know, to feel confident that what’s happening makes sense!

It does make sense, including every crazy bit of this world and our lives, but only from a perspective beyond time. This webinar will help you shift from ego time – where everything is separate and sequential (and out of your control), to universal time – where everything is one and simultaneous (and you are part of that which is in control).

Nothing could be more practical. This change will affect every aspect of your life in every moment of every day. As for the future and concerns about predictions of machines taking over, etc., you’ll learn why this is laughable. You’ll also discover the inevitable, that the human species as we know it is in its final chapter.

We stand on the precipice of a new chapter, a union of biology and technology, and no one can predict what this will look like. However, increasing numbers of people are already experiencing what it feels like.

The Singularity is a present-moment phenomenon. Join us for this webinar, exploring the future of now.

  • Time No More: how to shift from future fear to present peace.
  • Inner Technology: making your connection to the power of the stars.
  • The Evolution of Consciousness: why the future is something to look forward to, not fear, and experience differently… right now!

abundance is our future…

http://www.ted.com Onstage at TED2012, Peter Diamandis makes a case for optimism — that we’ll invent, innovate and create ways to solve the challenges that loom over us. “I’m not saying we don’t have our set of problems; we surely do. But ultimately, we knock them down.”

is your future already written?

This barely touches on the scope and brilliance of the groundbreaking book “Three Laws of Performance”, which Dave Logan of the Marshall School of Business co-wrote with Steve Zaffron, Landmark Forum leader.

If you want to learn how to write a future that excites you, look into Landmark Education at http://www.landmarkeducation.com/. It’s an extraordinarily powerful technology for those who want to:

Landmark Forum: shift your quality of life, redefine what?s possible, design your life

Landmark Education helped me break from a default path I was on of withdrawing more and more from the world. I thought it was who I was…but the Landmark technology helped me realize that it was just a default path based on fears and the past. I’m now consciously creating a path I’m truly excited about. It just keeps getting better and better! Definitely not time to withdraw =)
