Letter: Purposely separated from our higher principles

By Raphael O’Suna 2 min read

Science, technology, widespread circulation of information, indiscriminate intelligence and the pervasiveness of algorithms might incorrectly be considered aids in the search for truth.

Instead, they have done little to transform our conditioned materialistic mindset into a more highly valuable spiritualized mentality and consciousness.

Such ideas may seem neither practical nor legitimate in our present society, culture, civilization, or traditional Western institutionalized system, where profit rules and property rights dominate over human needs. But true evolution of mankind will come through high purpose, a more expanded and inclusive consciousness, and a more collective concern for the Earth and each other.

Stiff necks result from too much looking back. It is wiser and healthier to look to see what's coming. Not to simply see possibilities, but to make things happen.

Robots do not possess consciousness and algorithms lack conscience. Entities, beings, or agents that are hidden, not understood and the source of unprincipled, selfish motives should not make decisions for us.

We are slowly being stripped of the operating powers of mind. We are no longer able to concentrate and focus for long periods of time. We have lost the power to conceptualize; and fail to further develop inherent and acquired powers or faculties.

Rudolf Steiner, a man of great foresight, warned us more than 100 years ago that someday we might be purposely separated from our higher principles. For nothing is more feared by a corrupt ruling elite, than growth in the consciousness of their subjects.
