Art by Autumn Skye How do you feel about this? "A generation educated by the internet and leveraged by technology will eventually destroy its own society." It was in a post, to which a reader commented, "- don't agree. mostly just pseudo-spiritual fearmongering IMO. If anything technical advances are on pace with our spiritual growth." All around me, I interpret that our psychospiritual development (with heart opening) is not keeping pace with technological advances. I don't know about the generation destroying its own society, that does seem a broad statement without much evidence. But, the gap still feels ominous to me, leading to greater distortion and imbalance. The real danger comes with the closing of the heart, which isn't due to technology alone. I don't mean that with judgment. My generation in general is less attached to high technology. I went through a period of addiction to the screen, felt myself becoming more robotic, and brought it into balance. But that's me. I see young people apparently devastating their lives by addiction to video gaming and the cell phone, and that's just the beginning. But who am I to say? Perhaps that is what they are here to experience. Yet I am bold enough to advocate for overall balance between high technology and psychospiritual development. Other insights have come in by reader comments. They are not included here to keep this relatively shorter. Regarding the fear element, yes, I see that from the financial newsletters. Fear sells. But the writers at least stay closer to the facts, I'd say, than conspiracy theorists. They have to, because their livelihoods depend on making predictions which are fulfilled. *** A few weeks ago, when emails arrived, I showed interest in cryptocurrency investing, and now my inboxes are filled daily with newsletters and offers from investor networks. I never invested financially in ANYTHING until about a year ago, and then only in one crypto project I truly believe in. Today I excerpted from the transcript of a video interview, which refers to a coming-of-age transformational technology platform as 'The Great Awakening.' Whether this develops along the lines envisioned by these blockchain pioneers and advocates or not may depend on a simultaneous spiritual awakening of the people, an expansion of awareness, to our true identity and destiny as Human Beings. *** The financial newsletters have informed me of other technological advances which will shape the world 🌎 in the months ahead, such as 'blue gas' hydrogen fuel cells, spray-on solar cells, shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs), and a 'Breakthrough Quantum Glass Battery' that 'Will Ignite the Global Electric Car Revolution.' The newsletters also warn of dark clouds on the horizon such as moves by the IMF and Federal Reserve which seem likely to have devastating consequences for most, widening the gap between the very wealthy and the very poor (materially, not necessarily in spirit.) Unless something turns that course, which is already set in motion, fiat money will be sharply devalued and prices will skyrocket. In any case, sustainable earth-friendly communities are looking more attractive. It seems a time of greater turbulence is likely ahead, followed possibly by a Renaissance awakening which I envision as both technological and psychospiritual. *** Following are EXCERPTS FROM an interview by Lauren Sivan with Charlie Shrem and Matt McCall. The World’s Most Powerful Organizations… Billionaire Investors and Entrepreneurs… And Virtually Every Country on Earth Are Preparing for the Most Anticipated Event in Modern History Called… "The Awakening." … for all the hype surrounding the blockchain, few people understand WHY it’s so revolutionary… It all comes down to three words: “Transformational technology platform.” Blockchain is the next great transformational technology platform.... Electricity is one of the great examples of this. The harnessing of electric power in the early 1900s transformed the world. It gave birth to our use of light bulbs, refrigerators, radios, televisions, telephones, air conditioners… the list goes on. Electric power was the “platform” from which all those incredible innovations sprang to life. You don’t have any of those things without electric power. The world after we harnessed electricity looked totally different than the one before it… …because electric power is a transformational technology PLATFORM. [Note from Gary: Within the history of discovering electricity and harnessing it for human purposes, there are many stories of resistance and ignorance towards its development. Electricity is a neutral platform, which can be used for benefit or detriment, like the internet and blockchain.] One of the key features of a transformational tech platform is that it doesn’t touch just one or two major industries… It touches ALL industries. Its transformational effects make their way into ALL areas of our lives.... ...This one will make us vastly more efficient and more productive. It will lower the price of just about everything. [Contradicting predictions of rising prices. Some see a battle between Big Tech and Big Government for control of the financial system.] Just like the world after we harnessed electricity looked totally different than the one before it…. … the world after this new transformational tech platform will look totally different than the one we are living in now. I’m talking about massive, massive change… Like I said, this revolution is going to change EVERYTHING.... ...But the blockchain is not “fantasy internet money” or a currency. If you’re going to take full advantage of the Awakening, you need to understand this important difference. What happens next, because of the Awakening, will lay the foundation of an entirely new world. It’s a complete paradigm shift. (G: There's more to the interview....) *** Lawrence G. Paliou commented, "The future seems rock solid on two alternate views, one of transhumanism where technology is supreme while the other of consciousness leads to evolvement to higher levels of being." G: Would that the two (technology and higher consciousness) symphonize! *** Gary's note: The image is by an artist unknown to me. By it, I mean to represent something new emerging from the union or symphony of two distinct elements, such as the Divine Masculine and Feminine, or in context, advanced technology with expanded individual and collective awareness. The blog post has more... https://www.wholehuman.emanatepresence.com/blog/bridging-the-gap COMMENTS Grin Marina With hesitation, this post has been approved. Not because it is mentioning future of society we are entering right now but because it touches a question of what is more important, WE, are living in society or SOCIETY we are living in? Briefly, the society is nothing but reflection of what people value the most for survival. That is what, it seems to me, caused the technological progress. In another words, when people are losing their survival skills, technology blooms. But technology itself will never be enough for people to survive, that is why the whole movement of Spirituality comes into play, as an intuitive mean to survive as species. After all, the biggest skill people have,is ability to use mind. So...when one is about to use one's minds, one enters the level of existence where one has to rely on oneself, where one becomes Alpha and Omega of one's own world. That is the different approach from when one is using technology, but not really knowing either about technology itself or oneself. Hence offering technology to us is not a free gift. It is a test to see what we are going to choose. And without going into any conspiracy, it may be not the first time we have to do choosing. I feel that one has to concentrate on oneself, and not on technology. Technology can be used, of course but not to rely on. Gary Smith I also meant to say that spiritual development within the individual can bring balance to the imbalanced social structure. Thank you for accepting the post. Grin Marina Agree but not in such direct way. Balance within is contagious. Others around will be balanced by example of that individual and so on and on. Direction of these good intentions will be turn outward. Social structure will be the same, but being operated by balanced individuals, it will reflect the direction of intention which will be directed outward too, towards betterment of others. It is Utopia pictured, of course, which means it will never happen. I wonder if you may say why? Gary Smith I like to dialogue with you. Are you asking what I feel is the reason Utopia will never happen? It is a question to ponder. There are New Age theories which say earth is ascending, receiving higher galactic frequencies, etc. and that will support a shift to 5d consciousness. In one way, I'd love that to be true, for it to be so simple, and the whole earth and her inhabitants would become a Garden of Eden or Lemuria revisited. But from my observation and feeling, I am more inclined to say there will be shifts amongst segments of the population who open their hearts and live from Being, acting from 'Love for Love Itself.' Others will continue on their way until they are satisfied with it. And that could answer your question of why. A total shift would violate the free will of souls who choose to experience suffering and what we call for lack of a better term, low frequencies. How do you feel about this? Grin Marina It seems very valid argument with a little twist. No one really choose suffering as well as no one really choose calmness. Those two are opposite consequences of being dualistic. For example, pain as well as pleasure, on the level of physical body, are both electrical signals just processed through different parts of brain. The same with suffering and calmness: those two are also opposite ends of perceiving life as a personal process.Meaning that for the World to become Garden of Eden, everyone should perceive life in the same, very specific, one-sided way. It is not possible here, for many reason, one of them is that humans are the creatures of two worlds and as such, there always will be someone with an opposite view. YIN YANG symbolizes just that. That is how I feel about that. Not that Utopia violates anyone's free will, but that everyone consists of two Worlds which makes one world for all quite unlikely. Those who manage to get those two worlds work in Unison, are not interested in social structures. For the very simple reason: if one is viewing life with two eyes, one will not be able to say which exact eye gives a better vision. Why? Because we see not with eyes at all. Hope you'll see that with your mind. Thanks for conversation as well. Gary Smith Yes, the human experience in general is one of dualistic consciousness. Individuality is 'in divine duality'. Whether an individual could sustainably function from oneness consciousness is one question. Whether it would be useful, effective or desirable to live fully from oneness consciousness is another. Is it really of ultimate value or benefit to seek or strive for ascension, awakening, enlightenment etc.? Or does aiming for an objective necessarily engage the separation consciousness of ego, preventing the possibility of achieving such an end? Would relaxing into the 'Flow of what is' be a more effective way to actually live from expanded awareness? Does the 'Flow of what is' equate to Love for Love Itself, Love for No Reason? By relaxing into the Flow rather than striving after anything, and living from Being rather than doing, from non-separation consciousness, might there be a choice for humanity to be free from the bonds of dualistic illusion? I don't advocate doing nothing, but acting from the Flow. What might be a sufficiently strong motivation to move individuals to live as human beings? Grin Marina Starting from the end, what exactly makes humans "human beings"? Why don't we ever mention " bird beings", " doggie beings", "lizards beings"? But we do have bees, which as close to beings as linguistically possible? The answer you have given is exactly about that phenomenon: we have to learn how to act from the Flow, from state of "being." Meaning that the only state of being will become something to strive for. But one is already a human being, or one isn't? How can one be sure that one indeed, is in the state of "being" human? That, it seems to me, is the main stumbling stone on the way to being human. Hence it seems why the way is always individual. Just because one never can prove either others do really exist, all one can do is just feel first-hand their own beingness. How that sense of beingness will be perceived: either as ego or as individuality, will decide how one will act towards others and again, it is nothing but dualistic approach. I don't see a way to push out the duality of physical existence, doesn't matter how strongly one wants to become One. Gary Smith The end is as good a place to start as the beginning or the middle, if in actuality all happens at once. And that it seems is why we perceive as we do, in linear fashion, to enable functioning. Starting from the end, what exactly makes humans "human beings"? Yes, once I said something about humans and Nature, implying separation. The other responded, humans are nature. To me, yes and no. Biologically, humans are a part of the natural biological system and process. But due perhaps to the conditioning of mind, individual and collective, in my experience I am separated from Nature and the other. I may have moments of feeling unity, and have knowledge of the interconnectedness of All, but mostly that is far removed from my daily life. Why don't we ever mention "bird beings", " doggie beings", "lizards beings"? Because those are integrated into nature, domesticated perhaps less than wild creatures. They function from instinct. Certainly non-human animals can have personalities, and seem at times to make choices. Our Chihuahua both. I call her a being, and as beings we are equals in my eyes. But of course in practicality, there must be delineation. Humans have a capacity to separate from Being and become doings, which it seems other animals do not have. But I cannot shift from a human doing to a human being by striving. Striving is doing. Do you see other animals striving? How can one be sure that one indeed, is in the state of "being" human? Self analysis also prevents the human being experience. There is a simple knowing. My wife and I recently started an online Memoir Writing course, and talked this morning about entering the Flow while writing. We agreed it is when we stop controlling the story and allow it to write itself. It is watching to see what wants to happen. I don't see a way to push out the duality of physical existence, doesn't matter how strongly one wants to become One. And that again is the paradox. We are in actuality already One Being. Therefore there can be no becoming. Wanting and striving only prevent the experience by keeping me in separation. Relaxing, allowing and trusting are the keys 🔑. But I could soak 🛁 in a hot springs all day and be no closer to the experience of Being. Sometimes judgment has to be dropped, or control, or anxiety, or something else. Yes, I know when I enter the Flow state of Being. I am still looking (relaxed) for the switch. Keren Portia Thoughts.... I highly recommend the work of biofuturist Fernando Vossa! I I resonate with his innovative ideas on new technology to enhance the human, rather than degrade the human. A cell phone could easily be developed to “heal” us, rather than cause harm, as humans become ready for this new way of connected living. These ideas help me neutralize any lingering technology “fears.” Shadow and Light now being called into Unity, so we can create our new age from this zero point - no blame or polarity. That is the power of the awakening human right now. In the short of it, we already exist in an artificial intelligence inverted matrix that violates “do no harm.” No need to fear the future. We came here to upgrade and heal this technology distortion now! Support for the inverted matrix is GONE, so we are now challenged to upgrade to Golden Age living and frequency, which honors all life. Old matrix was anti-life. I also recommend the work of Franco DeNicola - Advancing Consciousness Series. As far as young people and the internet - I believe it is all in divine order to understand the polarity. Each human, no matter what age, is equally and uniquely challenged to create their way, not from darkness to light, but to neutralize and zero point ALL distorted creations, because that is the frequency field where we can create something NEW. David W Graffius A very good topic Gary,,,it's one of those big questions the awakened often seek answers to. As you know though it has many many layers to it,,thus its actually multiple questions with multi layered answers or the potential of. IMO,,one layer not mentioned though here is the one most enfluencial to the entire topic and every layer. That is the Negative Alien Agenda(NAA),,,for them human technological advances are proportional to their desires to remain in control. In otherwords,,everything and anything to prevent us from our highest true selves and our hearts. Do we need technologies to ascend? No,,we do not. Does the NAA utilize human technology to maintain control? Beyond any doupt,,the answer is yes. Just mentioning a few layers,,and a few logical questions,,with potential answers. My point,,this is a great topic to discuss,,even though its multi layers are completely defined by the consciousness levels of the participants. To much to say on this,,to cover in one setting,,,and next to impossible to articulate in a fashion that will resonate with everyone due to its many layers. I will add one more layer: "Entertainment" how much human technological advances are relevant to keeping us entertained? We who know,,,know that entertainment is in fact a masterful deception by the NAA as means of control and intentional distraction from our highest true self and our hearts. Pesticides for example,,,another layer, once considered/still is considered a technological advancement,,,for the benefit of humanity. In truth,,,another insertion of the NAA's control over humanity, the earth,,all life. Over population,,,a multi layered conversation,,that includes all the NAA's controlling aspects over humanity in its efforts to maintain control. Back to pesticides again,,just as an example,,,,as a result of our need to increase crops as a direct result of our growing population,,as a result of the NAA's many technologies and control over us. How many advances in technology are a direct result of the many controlling aspects of the NAA,,such as greed,,,lust,,sex,,,,drugs,,,alcohol,,,pain,,,fear,,,hate,,,racism,,,and on and on. Each of these things all have their part that play into our percieved need for technological advances and innovation. Many layers,,to this,,,and many layers to each layer,,,to each level of awareness and consciousness level of the beholders eye's.
