I am intrigued why you see spirituality as a cocoon rather than as a way to emerge from the cocoon. Perhaps you were thinking of the conventions of religion, which can indeed be a cocoon that shields us from deeper inner growth. It may not so much be a reconciliation between technology and spirituality, but rather a spiritual approach to technology - recognizing whether something that is universally applicable actually connects us to the Universe. Does just because we can do something technologically mean that we should go ahead and do it? That's where spirituality comes in to give us perspective. Are we really searching for a middle way? We may be looking for the way that leads us back to our own inner truth and allows us to live in a world of paradox that includes the awesome power of nature. We are nature, too - not so many of us reconcile ourselves with this knowledge - we view ourselves as distinct and separate. Thus we live in false dichotomies which build misplaced hope in both technology and spirituality. From Japan, many thanks for your thought-provoking post, Dr. Mani.
