11:11 Angels Message Board

Hi Rod,

Good morning Did you mean to share this in this particular thread? I appreciate your interest if so, but am still a little uncertain what you mean.

Could you perhaps speak your intentions more clearly, so I might better understand you?

It was a nice read either way. Kind of funny, using AI to speak of disconnect/digital detox.

I wonder what prompted your inquiry?

Are you practicing time in stillness, or meditating?

I live in the city, in between 5G towers, and they often remind me of the eye of Sauroun. Are you familiar? City life is a strange experience, especially when one prioritizes rest and digest over fight or flight.

I do believe we are being asked, in this new world, to embrace rest and digest... In order to take our understanding of the human experience to the next level...

I hope your prayers, or personal disciplines are bringing you inward and centered

Yes, Thoreau lived at Walden's Pond to discover answers by living deliberately, focusing on the essential facts of life
and escaping the industrial rat race. He wanted to eliminate unnecessary luxuries and distractions to discover the true,
essential meaning of life, to cultivate a deeper understanding of existence.

Thoreau wrote using both pencils he manufactured himself and quill pens, both writing tools,
whereas today's humans use computers and AI, modern writing/information tools.

My inquiries about AI, its potentials, its complaints (and detractors) are frequent.
Each inquiry creates a topic/theme that I sometimes pair to topics on this board.

Do I meditate? Living alone without typical device distraction (TV, radio, cellphone,
stereo, etc.) during the day is constant silence (except for street noises and tinnitus).
My meditations are not so structured but occur frequently, creating topics to explore.

At 80, meditative life is good in the slow lane!

Thanks for taking the time to write your self and explain. That means a lot.

I had no clue you were 80, you give me the impression you are at least 20 years younger than that.

I agree, meditation happens and even in informal settings.

Thoreau is quite impressive. I'm still city bound, but have been weighing my options. Likely a much less intense version of Thoreau.

And by Gods grace, he has shown me it is possible to taste deeper meaning and liberating peace even among all the noise, towers, traffic, and people living from their fight or flight, overly egoic and fearful selves.

Not that I have any right to judge, all is well.

Thanks again Rod, it was nice getting a feel for you in your reply.

Good night ~

"80 is the new 60!" (new 50 with more exercise)
