I think we are going to need to wait for your dying of old age prediction and if you have been following my posts I dont eschew using technology but if you are using it for the wrong reasons your life is going nowhere.

The 'ruling elites' have always used the communications means of the day to advance their causes via 'public relations'...

In the early years of the 20th century, they used the telephone and radio... It doesn't make the telephone and radio, the icons of the mass communication revolution of their day, evils in themselves, but they were as utilised by giant corporations (UFC, Standard Oil...) just as the communications devices are exploited today...

The means of communication has advanced but human nature has not.

Lust of the flesh, lust of money, lust of power.
all that is of "this" world.
But this world is not of the fathers world.

I told yadda its a good self help book.

so is this one

The Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit: भगवद्गीता, bhagavad-gītā in IAST, Sanskrit pronunciation: [ˈbʱaɡəʋəd̪ ɡiːˈt̪aː]; lit. "Song of the Lord"[1]), often referred to as simply the Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu scripture in Sanskrit that is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata (chapters 25 - 42 of the 6th book of Mahabharata).
The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Lord Krishna. Facing the duty as a warrior to fight the Dharma Yudhha or righteous war between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is counselled by Lord Krishna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty as a warrior and establish Dharma."[2] Inserted[2] in this appeal to kshatriya dharma (chivalry)[3] is "a dialogue ... between diverging attitudes concerning methods toward the attainment of liberation (moksha)".[4] The Bhagavad Gita was exposed to the world through Sanjaya, who senses and cognises all the events of the battlefield.[5] Sanjaya is Dhritarashtra's advisor and also his charioteer.
The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis[6][7] of the concept of Dharma,[6][7][8] theistic bhakti,[9][8] the yogic ideals[7] of moksha[7] through jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga (spoken of in the 6th chapter)[10] and Samkhya philosophy.

its basic message   ....WALK THE PATH FOR THE SAKE OF WALKING IT. THE PATH IS THE REWARD

i still want you to wander round the mall munching on a cucumber to see the awful world of group think.
They may tell you it is YOU who has a broken brain, but is that really the case

because the mob, chowing down as a packet of cheesels and a coke look at you like you are some sort of freak and then you can give your kids a little speech about not getting sucked into 'group think".


do you trust your brain NoN ?
are you your "brain"
are you your "thoughts"
or are you the awareness watching your thoughts?

i never really trusted my brain.
my brain led me to have stupid thoughts. it led me to have success barriers, it led me to feel depressed.

i view my brain like its a finnicky horse,
it wants to do one thing but i'm going to train it to do another.
now i like my brain. i know how its going to react and i know what i need to do for my brain and me to be a winning team.
It might be like a finnicky horsey but i understand how it works and when it plays up (like a finnicky horse will) i just tell it "no" and make it do as its told.

Like a horse, there is a process and a series of exercises and structures that keeps it performing well.

if i feed it good food.
if i go to the gym
if i read good stuff
if i only absorb the emotions of positive people
if i do activities which put me in a flow state
if i understand process orientation

then my brain doesnt give me as much trouble.

but your brain (like a finnicky horse) is always going to give you some anxieties, some problems, some rationalisatiosn, some reason to quit and just chill and be lazy and just chew grass or 'disengage".

thats fine.

but when it does that, you have to have the ability to get in a fight with your brain and let it know that youre going to win 

ekhardt tolle , despite being a very dull drab german author explained this best to me.
when i read his books, i had an epiphany
