The Technological Age:
We live in times, that, most, know, are simply, unreligious (and nonspiritual), in just about, every way. While most, know this, they can't, truly, see (as with, fathom really), it. One thing though, they do know, is that, life, works (or appears to); they get up, early (perhaps), everyday, and do, make it, to the end, just, to relieve, the same day, on, the very next, day. Things work, but most, know, thats not, how, life, should work.
The main problem though, does lie, with, what, we seek, from, our daily lives. In many ways, seekings, shaped, very much, by, American Media, and the belief, that, the main, goal, of Life, is, to seek out, comfort (in all its forms) [Success too, today, is defined, by, the comfort level, one, has attained, rather than, actual, output (ethical)].
One should realize, that, Life, is very much, a, spiritual endeavour [and at the very least, a religious journey]. Having said all that, one, comes to realize, that, the seeking, of, comfort, in many ways, goes, against, the two, definers [of Life], as just, given above. One of the main reasons, to all this, has, to do, with how, we, define, Material Existence. The very fact, today, that, Technology, is used, as a form, of, Comfort itself (means really, that it exists, very much, as, a tool, for, comfort itself) [in all really, one, cannot, really call it, Technology] [Comfort, in the form of Aje (gone wrong), has taken over].
To fully understand this, is to, understand, what, the various forms, of, Material Culture (out there), really, represent, and stand for. That in all, Comfort, is not, supposed really, to be, associated, with Material Culture (but instead, Enjoyment is). There exists, different, forms, of 'Technology', and each, has, a Cultural basis, in origins, to it all [in all, 'technology', cannot, be said, to exist, without, Culture]. When one speaks, of, Materiality (as with, Material Culture), one, in many ways, is also, speaking, of, various, Cultural formations. In that, Materiality, is where, 'Technology', meets, Culture. In many ways, Technology, is used to solve, problems, in a Culture; Scientific inventions, are used, to create, stability, in a Culture [and finally, the Technological, is used, in, the everyday, workings, of, a Culture]. A Car, is Technology, but a Rolls Royce, is, Materiality. The former, should not, really, exist (as in many ways, it is, comfort based), but instead, the latter, should. Materiality in all, should take, into, account, the elements, of, Aesthetics, Style and Design [in their makings] [in all, if, Materiality, does not have, all, three, as with, regards, to, the Culture it exists in, it should not, be allowed, to, be part, of, the Culture] [In many ways too, similar in nature, to not, associating, with people, who, don't think (style), look (aesthetics), and even, live (design), alike, to oneself].
To make all this, clearer, is to show, really, what stands, for, Money (and Currency), in, a Society. In that, Currency, pertains, to, solving, all forms, of, problems [technological, technology, and scientific], while, Money, pertains, to, Materiality. In many ways, Money, is a form, of, stored wealth (and highly associated, with, Materiality). Currency, is only, used, to solve, everyday, problems (of all sorts), and is, what, is readily available, in ones, pockets. This distinction, is rather, important, as in all, Money, is used, only, for, Cultural reasons, while, Currency, is used, for all, forms, of, Personal endeavours [Money though, is often, converted, to Currency]. In all really, in many ways, this, rather, important distinction, is not, readily, seen, in society today [as one, does not, truly, see (really), how money, works or flows, today, unless, they understand, the huge, role, that credit, plays, in, the money economy] [In all, if you are a person (out there), without, access, to credit, you are, pretty much, struggling].
In many ways really, in total, the, Technological, should be, Mechanized, Technology (on the other hand), is, Mechanical, while, the Scientific, should be, Mechanic. In all, one should, look, at their, everyday lives, from, Aesthetics (thinking), Style (looks), and, Design (living), as with, regards, to, daily living [in all, the problems, one faces, should be, based, on the three, descriptors, just mentioned].
Sacrifice & Living:
How to live out, ones, daily, personal life, on, understanding, the nature, of, Money, is based really, on seeing, the, Religious aspects, to Culture itself (as with, Aesthetics, Style & Design). In that, the goal, of Life, is not, to seek, Comfort, but instead, Enjoyment (as with, Aesthetics, Style & Design). And that too, seeking, Enjoyment, is very much too, based on, having, 'Paid', the price, to what, one, owns (in all really, not, too much, Credit).
One could have, all, the money, and the best, foods & wines, but, if one, did not, work, for that money (as with, Credit too), then they, will find themselves, not enjoying, their, earnings, at all [in many ways, work, contains, what, is known, as, the Sacrificial, which, most jobs out there, lack] [Most jobs, contain, the element, of, pain].
To explain this further, is to show that, one, must seek out, a form, of, Sacrifice (as with, Transcendence really), in ones, daily lives, in order, to, simply, just feel, good, about, themselves. They must, in many ways, Suffer, and not, actually, feel pain. There must be, a religious, foundation (spiritual too), to, their lives, such that, at, the end, of, each day, they, should feel, good, about themselves (not on, Work done really), but on, how, they have, actually, lived out, their day.
Many out there, seek out, hardwork (as with, pain really), toughness, and even, strength, to feel, good, about themselves. In many ways, they believe, this, will shape them, in, a certain way, to, feel good, about, themselves, and even, feel, better, than others (out there). In many ways, a way, of living, associated, with, seeking comfort, and also, very much, stone-age (as with, hominidal), in nature. Life though, in the, recent times (and even past), had, transversed, much further, from, the concept, of, Pain/Reprieve, in living out, ones, daily life [as in, seeking pain, then, comfort].
Life, from the Greek, times, had become, rather, religious (in nature), and the, Pain/Reprieve dichotomy, was, rather, very much, looked down, upon, in, even, Ancient Greece. Several ways, of, living out, ones daily life [based on, the Religious], have come, into, existence, and each, appears, to suit, different, Regions, of the World, appropriately (as with, even, history itself).
North America: Absolution
Absolution, is a, form, of the, Sacrificial, very much, based, on what, they call, cleansings (and even, reparations). In many ways, it involves, living out, ones, daily life, and at, the end of it all, looking, to see, any 'evil', done, by oneself (knowingly and even, unknowingly); and then too, seeking, to cleanse, oneself, from, ones sins (which includes, reparations). In many ways, a rather, Roman concept, of, the Sacrificial, that still, works, rather well, in, North America. The cleansings, could be, in, the form, of, rituals (including confession), or even, a form, of, self-flagellation (as in, seeking to, aid/assist/help, another).
South America: Penitence
Penitence, is a form, of, the Sacrificial, very much, based on, seeking forgiveness (as with, any, kind, of mistakes made). In all really, not, an attempt, to, live perfectly, but actually, to seek, self-awareness (in all its forms). In many ways too self-awareness, is very much, associated, with, a Saint (or Saintly figure), and in, many ways, Saints, tend to have, what, are called, Tenets (by which, to live by) [Tenets, are a form, of laws]. The forgiveness, can involve, lengthy, prayers (of all kinds).
Europe: Rectification
Rectification, is a form, of, the Sacrificial, very much, based, on self-exposure (as with, the keeping, of a diary). In many ways really, seeking, to question, ones, thinking, and in many ways too, expose, ones motives (in all its meanings), to the reasons, why, one believes, they are not, too happy. Seeking to, expose (by motives), oneself, and then, seeking, to change, oneself.
Africa: Restitution
Restitution, is a form, of, the Sacrificial, very much, based, on, self-belief (as with, daring oneself). In many ways really, a form, of, questioning, ones unhappiness, by seeking really, to, question, ones doubts, about, oneself (really). A form, of, the Sacrificial, very much, suited, for living, in most, of, Africa, other than, Afrique.
South East Asia: Atonement
Atonement, is a form, of, the Sacrificial, whereby, one, seeks, very much, to make, themselves, perfect (in the historic sense). In all really, seeking, not to, sin really, but actually, avoid it [as in, avoiding, immoral spots (in and about, town)]. In many ways, Atonement, is rather, religious, as, it is based, on, following, certain, 'Commandments' [as with, Samsara & the Bodhi tree], and living, by them (in attempting, to, avoid sin). One, in many ways, looks, at the Commandments, and asks themselves really, how, they can, Avoid, breaking, any of them, as with, changing, their lives [in many ways really, too, seeking, to become, Lord Krishna].
East Asia: Propitiation
Propitiation, is a form, of, the Sacrificial, very much, based, on the Mind (and the Concept, of, the Hero). In many ways, similar, to, a form, of, celebrity worship (as with, motivational media), and in, many ways too really, seeking, redress, to oneself (as with, self-growth) [for instance, learning, how, to handle, insults, or disappointments]. In many ways in all, seeking, to have, a clean Mind.
Middle East: Penance
Penance, is one, of, the oldest forms, of, the Sacrificial, known, out there [and also, seen, in, Afrique]. Penance (associated alot, with, Thomas Aquinas), is very, much, based, on, going (what they call), the, extra mile. A way, of, self-analysis, based, very much, on, giving, 100%, to everything, one, does (as with, concentration really). In all, seeking, to do, just, about, everything, in, a refined, and perfect, manner too. In all, work/concentrate, until, you drop (in exhaustion and joy).
The above really, constitutes, all, that, their really is, to life/Religion, at, the hominidal level. The only ways really, to feel, good, about, oneself, on just, about, every, waking moment, of, the day. Without this, rather, strong, religious foundation, to life, life in itself, feels, rather, meaningless, and in all too, Culture (as with, Aesthetics, Style & Design), and all forms, of, Materiality, should, be based, on, the above. Without this all, one finds very much, that, they simply, stop, to exist (eventually), and begin, to slowly, die off (or even, decay) [no moral, reason, at all, to live, life].
The main problem though, does lie, with, what, we seek, from, our daily lives. In many ways, seekings, shaped, very much, by, American Media, and the belief, that, the main, goal, of Life, is, to seek out, comfort (in all its forms) [Success too, today, is defined, by, the comfort level, one, has attained, rather than, actual, output (ethical)].
