so, into the black hole we go
fading further away from the truth that we know
hidden below the self conscious mind
we're blind
and it shows

Even in a world that is so technologically advanced I feel a loss of knowledge. Not the kind they teach you in school, the kind that you google search or even the kind that gets you high IQ scores. It's that inner knowledge of self and the world around me. I've always said that if something were to happen and we lost all of our technology, our generation and many more would be lost. We wouldn't even comprehend the definition of a "simple life" and would know little about existence outside of the internet, video games and T.V. Now don't get me wrong I believe that technology has served a lot of good and heaven knows I am thankful to have a phone in case of an emergency, but when we overload ourselves with all that stimulating technology we leave little room for exploration of that inner knowledge: that not-so-flashy, not-so-high-def, pretty-humble wisdom. Maybe if we allowed ourselves some downtime we could practice paying attention to what we don't know, we know. Does that make sense? Give it a try. Sometimes I find that I really do know exactly what to do in a situation that I thought was impossible to understand.
