Last Sunday's Service
 "Technology and Consciousness: Does Technology Enhance
or Detract from Consciousness?"
with guest speaker
Isaac Cheifetz
Isaac Cheifetz led us on an amazing journey. We first reflected upon the meaning of technology and consciousness by looking at definitions and technology's past experience. Then, we examined some of the positives and the negatives technology brings to the evolution of humanity into consciousness. Through humor, group conversation and self reflection, Isaac left us with words of wisdom about balancing and using technology with intention in our daily lives. If you missed this, you will appreciate taking the time to listen. Click here.
