Humanity is living in an environment that is alien to it's nature.
Think for instance of our ancestors in a fast paced, cars everywhere, millions of people around you sort of world, and that is us.
We are no different from them.
It's no wonder that so many people choose to stay out of it, living indoors as much as possible, only trekking out to get food or go to somewhere else indoors.
This is the "hikikomori" effect of our society, more prevalent in Japan due to the isolated, private culture that exists there. But it happens all over the world. Another term would be agoraphobia, or social anxiety, and leads to an avoidance of others, and busy, hectic situations.
Granted, we are social animals, but we are not made for the levels of population we have today, or the technocratic nature of the modern world. Lights everywhere, loud noises, screeching cars. All it does for some is raise levels of anxiety, signalling danger.
Home - is safety. At home you can escape the fear, at home YOU are in control.
Where are the trees? The grass? There is concrete and pavement slabs everywhere. Our world has become cold, disconnected from what once was. No connection to our ancient past.
And for what?Just so we can all be lonely, and feel hopeless? This seems to be the world today.
I remember as I walked the streets in Japan, the blank expressions hiding the sadness in many people's hearts. I see that in England too, and I can only hope that people reconnect to their spirits, their higher selves, and get gnosis.
I will write about gnosis further as time passes, this is only a quick post, there may be spelling mistakes, and I typed as I thought.
Consider this a ramble, but a good hearted one :)
