Your digitally driven lifestyle has twisted & manipulated your mind. In our drive to stay connected, technology has hijacked our neurological circuits and manipulated them to submit to the algorithms of massive companies that profit by tracking and trading our ideas and actions.

We are guilty of creating a culture of technological enslavement, where the pinnacle of existence is focused on ever-increasing workloads, productivity, and living in with only digital connections.

As individuals, with every term and condition form, we sign away our rights to who we are. We are expected to evolve like every new generation of technology: faster, with increased capacity, and with vaster functions.

We have become so focused on improving that we must remember what it is like to slow down and do deep, thoughtful work.

We always seek more.

The greatest challenge in life is to know oneself to know the world. This challenge begins in childhood and never ends.

Yet, we cannot succumb to our base instincts and primal fears to BE ourselves - creative, energized, inspired, curious, joyful, carefree, and grateful for what we have and are actively creating.

Suppose we acknowledge that much of life is out of our control and that we have limited free will due to our biological-neurological programming. In that case, we set ourselves free - by bringing awareness to our decisions and ensuring that we don't just follow our fear - our instincts to fill the void.
