Managing your addiction to technology | Eckhart Tolle Teachings. (My Thoughts: Addiction is about the basic need for connection, where the source god connection is not accessed, and this 'empty connection' calls out to be connected with something other than the self, something 'external' that enhances and relieves the 'empty' period filling up rapidly with self-doubt. Example is FOMO, the fear of missing out. Fear that you are not connectable by your peers, fear that they are doing something, that you are not aware of...fear of not being be able to connect to others in this way means you are not connecting to yourself, because - THEY, - the other, the 'external' is taking up all your focus...and you are not listening to what your soul says you need a break from. And maybe there is a 'fear of silence' which resounds in the emptiness that is felt. All you are doing is drowning yourself in other peoples version of life...good or bad/ crazy or fearful....which may be taking you away from your own path. ~~ Michaela~~)
