I agree that today is probably less conducive to exploring our inner life, being, as we are, bombarded constantly by efforts to distract and virtually possess our consciousness. But the assault on our consciousness may be just what we need to muster up the will to change our reliance on all the mind-suffocating technologies.Michael Grossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044309674467126746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889910938799271565.post-4623773439733425582022-05-12T16:19:40.880-04:002022-05-12T16:19:40.880-04:00Mike, this post illustrates for me one of the reas...Mike, this post illustrates for me one of the reasons why, in addition to your books, interviews, and papers, I so thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. As with some of your other posts, various themes in your current work remind me of the lessons you imparted to us, students, in your classes back in the mid to late ‘70s. For example, in this most recent post your suggestions for ‘turning off’ our minds are very similar to recommendations you had offered for being ready for ‘the next life’ in your ‘Philosophy of Death’ course (I may still have my class notes somewhere and, if so, could dig up the specifics of the exercise/recommendations). Anyway, my bet is that such exercises are probably much more difficult to carry out today than 40+ years ago when I was sitting in your classroom without the aid of a laptop or an iPhone. Given how much more dependent we have become on these devices and how prone we are to being constantly distracted by them, perhaps one way to facilitate this turning off of our minds is to first start turning off our communication and related electronic devices. :)Miguelnoreply@blogger.com
