Introduction
Our technology-driven world has become increasingly ocularcentric, meaning sight reigns supreme over other senses. We're overly reliant on screen-based devices like smartphones, TV and computers. This disconnect between mind and body, known as disembodiment, is fueling a mental health epidemic of anxiety, depression and spiritual emptiness.
The Technocratic Origins of Our Screen Obsession
Shaped by wealthy technocratic elites, modern society views humans as statistical data points to be managed rather than unique individuals. This massification stems from leaders being "mesmerized" by scientific and industrial progress, believing rational methods could remodel society.
Psychologist Carl Jung identified this spiritual void creating widespread feelings of insignificance and hopelessness. While practical, screen technologies trap our minds in an artificial reality divorced from embodied experience.
Societal Impacts of Disembodiment
Police report a 25% rise in mental disorder calls after the isolating pandemic lockdowns. Constant digital stimulation compels frantic, anxious thinking at odds with our natural states of clarity and flow.
While most don't descend into full psychosis, the disconnection creates an inner turmoil where we're "just one event away" from crisis. Obsessive screen habits inhibit our ability to access the intuitive wisdom arising from mind-body integration.
The Alchemical Path of Dissolution
Alchemy teaches that mindful movement and presence can dissolve the disembodied trance. Simple practices like walking, showering, or meditation allow us to reembody and receive flashes of insight from our felt senses.
By surrendering to the "here and now" without judgment, we unlock the innocent "emotional energy" and unitive consciousness that modern life obscures. Accessing these embodied states amplifies our native intuitive genius.
In this artificial milieu created by controlling interests, reclaiming our natural way of being requires deep self-knowledge. As we educate ourselves, listening to the peaceful inner voice restores our sacred human wholeness.

"While practical, screen technologies trap our minds in an artificial reality divorced from embodied experience." No truer words were ever spoken. As a writer, I spend waaay too much time in front of a computer screen. Fortunately, I usually listen to by body. When I start to get tired, or cranky and out of sorts—ache from sitting too ling—I listen and get up and go outdoors, go swim at the beach, sit under a tree, contemplate silence, whatever—anything to unhook and CHILL. And instead of watching a video at night, I read a book. And NOT on a Kindle!
