Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation) to the ones paying heed, this is where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and the importance of our attention, why is that? Now \u2018let us remember this again, \u2018What we give our Attention to matters,\u2019 as Our life\u2019s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I bring to your attention an excerpt which we have titled \u2013 Rapidly Changing Modern World <\/em>from a collection of articles titled \u2018Our Mind In the Modern World<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 by Robert Ornstein, PhD<\/a>; David Sobel, MD, MPH<\/a>; and Sally Mallam<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These articles draw our attention to the fact as to how we have created an unprecedented world for ourselves, whereas all other animals live inside their original habitat where they have adapted \u2018by design\u2019 to it. And the way forward for us in our unprecedented creation would be an evolution of our consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapidly Changing Modern World<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world has been comparatively stable for tens of thousands of years, and for tens of thousands of years it has been our practice to take what we wanted from it without recompense. All that mattered was a rising standard of living. Only rarely, if ever, did we look back to examine the effect of these actions on the world, because our brains didn\u2019t need to do so to survive and progress always led us forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Industrial Revolution in the mid-eighteenth century our \u201ctool\u201d use began to speed up, backed by powerful new energy sources: from coal, to gas, to electronics and nuclear energy, to the internet and renewable energy. And as we discovered different energy sources and later, digital technologies, the world changed radically, over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
