Is too much civilization evil and contact with nature a nececity?

[The Lost Igbo]

Thi just occured to me. I see all to often sistas talking on sel phones and brothas needing to get the latest entertainment system. And then I thoght, why are we becoming so fucking materialistic like we;re the white man's experinent or sonething. Imagine how our ancestors had tomake do with time and how they appreciated the world then. From our diapora ancetorw to back to our A=free=kan ancetors who knew how to accept the ways of the Earth much like our Native American brothers and sisters.

So anyway, I am wondering if any of you ever take a signinficant time away from the white world and retreat into the natural, magical world of nature. I spend periods of being in contact with nature alone with olny my clothes, food, lighter fluid, and a tent and live this way for a whole week every for weeks. I fish for my own food and drink the rivers water.

For one month in a year, i spend a whole month in nature. No technology, no ipods, nothing.

So, in conclusion, do you think this is a good spiritually? Or am I just fucking crazy

Do any of you guys do anything similar?

To much white western society is bad... Civilization is what people make it. Ipod's, Cell phones don't mean anything... Its the state of mind surrounding society which causes the problem. Its the nature of white supremicist society. A society where spirituality is not previlent.

What you do is a great thing to do tho. We do need to remove the background music of life sometimes. Just the sounds of nature are a blessed thing for the soul.
