The Digital Age

From the perspective of Perennial Philosophy, wisdom teacher OM C. Parkin examines the impact and consequences of the digital revolution. He shows that fear of limitation and human mortality, which manifests itself in individual fear of death, leads to an excessive preoccupation with the insignificant. By immersing itself in the ever-accelerating virtual world, humanity is moving further and further away from the deep desire for ultimate knowledge, which alone promises peace of mind. The good news is that healing is possible if we recognize the cause of our misguided drives and reflect on our true destiny – the realization of true human potential.

„What I definitely predict is that all forms of external overactivity will then be reduced to a healthy level. And it is this reduction that we collectively urgently need in order to heal – not endless growth.“ OM C. Parkin

„The thinking minds of the digital world conquerors are dominated by the belief in a religion-substituting doctrine of salvation for all humanity through technological progress. In my words: they confuse the seemingly endless creative possibilities of the digital revolution and the life-improving circumstances for many people worldwide that it can create with a path to awakening for humanity. A path to awakening is an inner path, and the leaders of this revolution probably do not even know what an inner path is.“ OM C. Parkin
