Welcome to my blog

Hello you out there,

We do not know each other, but I hope to get to know some of you in the near future. This is one of the inspiring aspects of technology, the ability to reach people from parts of the world and culture that would have been unthinkable just ten years ago. The annoying part of technology (this is serious matter), is its constant need for attention, the management of data, and the distraction that ensuing. If you, I, want survive in this tidal waves of electronic maintenance, we must develop our discipline, and a strong sense of awareness. This is the only way out to extract ourselves from the daily din of superfluous tasks.

It is the paradox of the scientist and the rat in a lab. The scientist knows that when he feds the rat that the rat will have to press on the lever to turn the light on to get its reward. The scientist is in charge of the rat. But there exists strong evidence to suggest that the opposite is equally true. What about is the rat knows that it gets fed when pressing on the lever, and intentionally does repetitively to be fed? Then the question is who is in charge? Who is taming who? We are living a paradigm shift, where we, the scientists, are becoming more and more enslaved to our toys. We think we are in charge when in fact they control us. We surrender our most precious human aspects: free will and awareness, and disappear from our sense of self and groundness.

So my aim with this blog is to help people reconnect with themselves, to get in touch with their inner feelings, to design their lives according to their own values, and to inspire them into action.

Looking forward

Eugene Lioubov
