We have moved away from trusting our experience. The forces that be, such as the medical/pharmaceutical industry, religion, science, technology companies, instruct us to not trust our experience and trust them instead. By experience, I mean what we are experiencing -- feeling, sensing, intuiting. Since we are part of nature and an extension of nature, what we are experiencing is nature. Trusting what I experience is trusting nature. Relying on outside factors, such as technologies, drugs, dogmas, and experts instead of internal experience separates us from our experience and from nature, separates us from our foundation, separates us from our self. Trusting my inner self, that is, trusting my experience, trusting my gut, my feelings, my heart, has many times guided me and brought me to a good outcome. What helps me step back from external forces and lean into what I am experiencing, lean into me, is that I am alive and me when I do that, and it is fulfilling. Technology can be of help as long as I keep it an adjunct to self and not let it take over. I prefer to trust me rather than what is not me.
