QUESTION: What is a mystery to you?

STORY: To me, technology is a mystery. Our computers are machines that we use every single day and yet there is so much in them that we don’t understand, like what is Artificial Intelligence? The dictionary defines artificial as “humanly contrived or man-made”. I wonder who are the human beings that are contriving the Artificial Intelligence that pops up when I am typing something? Another mystery is nanotechnology, which my dictionary defines as “the manipulation of materials on an atomic or molecular scale especially to build microscopic devices (such as robots)”. And what about the 5G electro-magnetic waves that are flowing through every living thing (human bodies, animals, trees and more). Are these electronic frequencies safe and effective? Then, I see young people walking down the street looking at their iPhone instead of looking at the trees, birds, clouds, sky and beautiful nature. Geo-Engineering is another mystery to me. AND I wonder who is in charge of the plan to give every human being a digital identity. Where will this data be stored and who is in charge of it? The funny thing is that these technology mysteries are inspiring me to know my True, Innate, Natural Self which is timeless, formless, ever present ONENESS or Consciousness.
