Disconnect to connect

You live in such a "wired" or so-called "connected" world Earthlings. Technology links you to everything. Everyone. Everywhere. All the time. Allows you to know everything in one single click (computer or television) or after one log in. Even "better", all the information comes to you through subscription.

All these devices, gadgets, applications, networks keep you "connected" you say. Do they? Really? Connected to what? To whom? On what level?

Do all these things bring you peace and serenity as you spend time using them? Do they make everything clearer to you? Or does the massive amounts of information usually end up as chatter, noise, deafening your inner voice, your inner guidance. Almost silencing it?

So many of you seem to be afraid of "missing something" if they stay away from all the electronic diversions, even if only briefly (television, Internet, and all the other devices that keep you connected to the wired world, sometimes giving you a false sense of community).

Is all that information, all those updates, links and posts really that important? In the grand scheme of things? Those of you who grew up in a different world, without the Internet, were you more or less connected than you are now? Than the kids today? What did you do then? Actually spent time outside playing with your friends, there with you... Making arts and crafts... Riding your bike... Reading a book... Spent hours on the phone chatting with one friend... Making a puzzle... Playing boardgames... Writing in your journal.... Concrete things. Actions that took some effort, even though it did not feel like it. Acts that required some (conscious) thought. Do you know what I am getting at?

Staying informed of what is going on in the world can be done quickly and easily. Yes, in a way, it is important to keep abreast of current events, especially those that happen in you city or town, and your country. Such information can be quite useful and pertinent. it affects your daily life. It is also essential to be aware of what is going on in the world. For you are One Earthlings. And what affects one affects the whole.

Still, events will keeps on happening whether you know about them or not. As they have always done.

And do you really "connect" with people on these social networks? Is it really a forum for growth, for deep, meaningful and insightful exchanges - up close and personal? Or is it merely superficiality wrapped in a very concise, attractive and flashy package?

Yes, it allows you to know everything about the world and those around you. All external information. But does it tell you about your dreams, passions, soul purpose, inner knowledge and so on that is hiding inside of you? Have you ever really thought of what this type of "connection" does to your body, to your soul, to all the wonderful gifts, ideas, thoughts and actions  dormant in you waiting to come out if you give it some time and attention?

Yes, I am well aware of the medium I am using through the Messenger. I am using this particular platform with the intent, the hope that it will help Earthlings through the shift and beyond. That the words will resonate with them, help them see what is important to them, and clear the clutter. This forum aims at raising the vibrations of individuals and the world. Like anything, everything is good, beneficial in moderation. Including this platform. There is a reason why the posts have been less frequents lately. The Messenger needed to disconnect to connect. Nothing is more important than taking time for yourself. Removing yourself from the wired word is often what is needed Earthlings. For many, it can become an addiction disguised as connection.

Be conscious. Be aware of how you feel as you consume technology. Make sure it does not consume you. You will know if you are overdosing on technology if it appears to be ruling your life. For instance, if you are tired in the morning because you had to check your email, your FB profile or your twitter account "one last time" before going to bed - then you realized hours have passed, and you went to bed way later than expected or that is reasonable (or healthy). Or you flipped through the channels a dozen times before finally deciding there is "nothing good" on TV and went to bed... late... again.

The glow of the TV or computer screens can interfere with your sleep - its light tricking your body to think it still is sunny outside, delaying the production of melatonin, a sleep inducing chemical. This is widely known.

You may turn to technology because you can not sleep, not realizing that the "solution" to sleeplessness is actually its cause.

What many Earthlings love about this type of technology is its instantaneity. However, numerous things in your world require some amount of waiting. More than a split second anyway. If you seem to have less patience than before waiting for anything, perhaps weaning off technology would do you some good.

Earthlings, you truly connect when you feel recharged, renewed, refreshed as you are doing something and afterwards. Be it cooking, meditating, spending time in the presence of a loved one (another human or an animal), any conscious act that lead to  the creation of an object, a meal, a piece of clothing, a bond... When you feel more alive after doing something than when you started. Then you have connected. Connected with yourself. With others. With the world. With Gaia. With the universe. With everything that is.

Please go inwards to connect. Go outdoors, in nature to connect. Pursue your passions or partake in any activity that you love, that brings you joy, that help you connect to the flame within. Spend time with those you love to connect.

This message aims at asking you to be more aware. Aware of all the diversions in your life that keep you away from the most important person in your world: yourself. This is an ego-less statement. When you have done all that is required to take care of yourself, including connecting, you are at your best to serve the world. It is the opposite of being obsessed by the self and only taking care of your own needs. If you are run down, disconnected with all that is and exhausted, how can you hope to heal anyone? To fulfill your life purpose? To make the world a better place?

Technology has brought greatness on this planet. Enabling things believed to be impossible not so long ago. However, so much about technology has become an accepted and even admired addiction. And all addictions distort reality, and can have disastrous consequences on the self and on others.

Please be conscious of this fact. Technology is there to serve you. It is important to avoid being seduced, and enslaved by it.

Remember the true ways to connect. Always. They are always in you. No batteries or electricity required... Disconnect to connect.

This is all.

Much Light and Love to Everyone
