Let’s do “it”!
Go back to the main part of the website if you’re not interested in the philosophy behind our devices.
“It” is almost any thing which doesn’t work well, or could work better. Or, maybe you can’t find any thing at all which will do what you need or want “it” to do.
“It” could be that every time you use “it” you wish there were another option which actually did the job you want done or which “it” promised to do but doesn’t.
“It” can be just about any thing, from the very smallest to the very largest and any possibility in between. “It” can be the most mundane consideration in the world or the most exotic. The ones I work on tend to be on the mundane side.
The first step is not being satisfied with some thing about a situation. You know that if some thing better were available every other thing around “it” would be a little bit more pleasant or at least less difficult.
Maybe something is too complicated or maybe too simple. Maybe “it” just needs to be tweaked. Maybe “it” is just not available at all.
You probably understand what I’m saying and I could stop here. But I’ve never been accused of saying too little and wouldn’t want to ruin my reputation.
In general I’m not against advancing technology. But not at the expense of advancing the development of Human Beings.
“Advanced technology” is NOT required for “making it better”. In fact the technology which IS required is the continuing expansion of our awareness.
“Advanced technology” by itself is a false hope. “Advanced technology” can never live up to the promises it makes.
“Advanced technology” leads us away from expanding our awareness and the discovery and expression of our own human potential.
Can it be very useful? Yes! Can it substitute for who we are at our core? No!
“Advanced technology” is a product of the human mind. The human mind is a wonderful thing but not when we let it run wild, untethered to the wisdom of our LIFE intelligence.
What about using artificial intelligence to make “it”? Artificial intelligence is just that “artificial”. But the situation is even worse than that.
AI is a crutch, when what is needed is exercise not a crutch. Human Beings as a race haven’t begun to tap the potential which LIFE as a Human Being offers.
AI draws our attention to the outside, to the realm of the mind. The mind definitely is NOT where full expression of human potential comes from.
Making “it” better requires paying attention to “the little things” to the “voice inside” to our “gut” to our “heart” to the clues, the bread crumbs we can follow to find the way to grow, to fill our skin as a fully developed Human Being.
From their own ignorance, for centuries our leaders in government, religion, and science have fed us such a limited vision of human potential that we continue to grovel in mediocrity as a species.
No matter how trivial “it” may seem in the context of daily living and what’s happening in the world, the process for “making it better” is the same. “Making it better” can be an incredible adventure!
“It” is the project which provides a means allowing us to learn how to more closely follow the energy and intelligence of LIFE.
Out of nowhere comes the smallest thought which removes an obstacle to our progress. “Where did that come from?” “Is there a part of me that has all the answers?” “How can I stay more in touch with that?”
All this and more is “making it better”. “It” may look like a frost proof yard hydrant, or a t-post bracing anchor, or a door support. But those are simply vehicles, exercises.
Well, I warned you. Take care of yourself and the ones you love.
