Activate your Inner Technology
Date: 10 June 2021 | Author: Edina de Jong – Hodžić
With so much external Technology (phones, computers, etc.) present in our daily lives and the rise of Artificial Intelligence and Transhumanism we would almost forget about the most powerful and potent Technology that we all possess within: our Inner Technology of our own Body. When I refer to the Body I also include the invisible element (invisible to most humans) of our Energy Body which consists of different layers that will be explained further in this blog.
Those of us who have studied any form of spiritual practice will know the importance of the Body (The Temple) and how it can be used to transcend the limitations of our ‘learned’ reality and open us up to new dimensions and an Infinite Universal Intelligence. When we do Yoga or when we Meditate, we use our own Body in that process without any ‘external interference or technology’. How come that outside of those spiritual practices we’re not able to rely on our Body intelligence to access information, to make decisions, to share ideas etc.? I believe that the answer to this question is fairly simple: we haven’t learned to access the Infinite Intelligence and Potential of our own Body. Unfortunately, in our today’s world we have learned to rely on external knowledge, leadership and technology for guidance, decision making, answers, etc. We have completely dismissed our Infinite Intelligence which is stored in our own Body. We have forgotten how to access it. And because of that we replaced all our Inner Technology by External Technology. With everything that is happening in the world today I feel that it’s time that we prioritise the process of reconnecting to our Inner Technology and the Infinite Intelligence of our own Body.
As everything in Nature, also our own Body has a Natural Cycle of Evolution. It seems that we’re trying to artificially speed up this process by introducing technology into our Body through different devices (e.g. chips, nano technology) and means of synthetic DNA alterations. Neuralink founder Elon Musk has reported in April 2021 on a successful chip implant into a monkey’s brain which has the ability to influence his brain connections and direct monkey’s behaviour as desired. His company intends to extend this to Human brains. The question is if we really need and want this? We should not forget to address the ethical element of this experiment because something is implanted into the monkey’s head without the animal’s conscious consent. Is this desirable? In addition, the monkey can now be directed remotely to execute certain actions. Do we want to be remotely controlled by something outside ourselves? We know that science has proven that we only use max. 10% of our brain. Therefore, there is a huge untapped potential that we can organically explore.
I observe more and more scientists exploring the element of Human Infinite Intelligence combining traditional scientific research with ancient wisdom and spirituality. Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Gregg Braden and Dr. Joe Dispenza amongst many others are modern day Leaders who are bringing this wisdom to Planet Earth. For anyone who feels called to expand their consciousness I can warmly recommend their work and their books.
I believe that there is a key question underlying the whole discussion around Inner/Outer Technology and that is the question of ‘Why are we here?’.
If we believe that we’re here without a purpose (merely to survive) we will most probably rely on external guidance, knowledge, leadership and technology and follow the ways of least resistance. Though, if we believe that there is a higher purpose for why we’re here we will probably choose to explore our Inner Technology, Intelligence and our connection to Nature and Universe and follow the ways of the ‘hero’. This is a question for further exploration and contemplation for yourself. Depending on your belief, you will either navigate more towards Inner or Outer (external) Technology.
Our Energy Body consists of different layers: mental layer, emotional layer and spiritual layer. All these layers are connected and communicate with each other and they also communicate with the energy of other humans, animals, plants and other life in the Cosmos. In the last decades humans have given more power away to External Technology and as result have lost the organic connection to our Inner Power and Technology and connection to the rest of the Natural System. Fortunately, we can restore this connection and find harmony with the rest of Nature and Cosmos.
To restore our connection to Nature and the Cosmos we have to reconnect with our Energetic Body. We can perceive our Physical Body with our ‘naked eyes’ but majority of us can’t perceive our Energy Body and that’s why we think it’s not there. When we think of energy we often think in the sense of lack vs. abundance or good vs. bad energy but we rarely perceive it as a natural ‘life force’ that is part of our being. We know that there is more to us than just our physical appearance because we subconsciously feel it through sensations in our body and change in our inner feelings. The easiest way to observe our Energy Body is when we physically come into contact with someone. If we stay present to what is happening we will be able to observe an information exchange through the connecting energy fields. This information exchange brings different reactions, some of them are automatic and observable (pulling closer to the person or pulling away from the person) and some are more subtle (change in thoughts, feelings etc). Can you recall that some people you met in your life have made you feel uplifted and others quite the opposite?
Below illustration explains at a high-level the Human Energy Body through the Eastern Chakra System which has originated in the Eastern Wisdom traditions and has made its way to the Western World in the 19th and 20th Century. Chakras are energy centres (vortexes) that regulate and send energy to the rest of the Body.
The Body is the vehicle. Consciousness the Driver. Yoga is the Path, and the Chakras are the Map.

If you quickly scan above chakra descriptions you will probably have an idea if a specific chakra is in balance or out of balance. If your goal is to live a healthy life, your focus should not only be on physical exercise and healthy eating habits but also on your mental, emotional and spiritual health which is stored in your chakras. Majority of people on this Planet have blocked chakras that require rebalancing in order to free up the flow of energy. To understand why it is so difficult to obtain a balanced chakra system and perfect health we have to understand how our chakras have been influenced throughout the different life experiences that we had, starting from very early on. In our childhood we experience events that have blocked our energy and even before we are born we inherit blockages because of the ancestral trauma that gets stored in our physical and energetic body. We can unblock our chakras by different means: physical yoga exercise, making our mental thought patterns and belief systems conscious, clearing our blocked emotions, connecting to our spiritual truth through meditation etc. This is deep inner work which most people reject because it takes them out of comfortable everyday ‘known’ patterns and it forces them to rely on their Inner Guidance / Intuition for answers. This process of deep inner work is also called Inner Healing. If you strive towards empowering yourself and becoming more authentic in your expression through your unique gifts, you won’t be able to skip or bypass this process. For a Hero to emerge, courage is required to dive deep into your own consciousness.
When you understand your own Body and its power, you open the door to the Infinite Intelligence from the Universe. This automatically empowers you to rely on your Inner Technology, its wisdom and guidance and not on something outside yourself.
Ultimately, the only power to which a man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
