The sky is blotted out by radio signals, the air thick with them.  The internet pierces every cell of my body.  The future will reveal networks and interconnectedness of which we'd never dream.  We will open to a seventh sense  beyond body and mind and encompassing all.  This sense is always already open to us, but the din of the material and mental worlds is deafening.  Once we have made our way to consciousness without content, we have attained the launch pad.  From this still, silent place we observe the world for what it is: a constant flux of desire and fear centered around "I."  Our lives are buffeted between these two imaginary poles.  What's the difference between the desire "I want to look good" and the fear "I hope I don't look bad?" No wonder so many of us short circuit.  The middle way, where these poles fuse into one, is our path to peace.
