The state of our humanity informs our experience of the world rather than our world informing our humanity. With our humanity intact, we create thriving advances in our human experience, the likes of which we could only have previously imagined. Without our humanity intact, we generate a self-imposed survival of our human experience, the likes of which we would not have dared to imagine. We use the same tools to create both experiences. However, the tools themselves only construct the symbols of our potential. It is the state of mind and intention behind the use of these tools that inform thriving or surviving results.
With the invention of the World Wide Web, we can communicate globally at lightning speed, providing the opportunity to share ideas, emotions, and beliefs with the push of a button. Social media has the capacity to bring us together and unite us unlike any other time in the history of the human race. Yet, without intellectual development, emotional maturity, and social discipline, we have (in a relatively short period of time) managed to unleash a tsunami of unconscious rantings and, at times, a conscious and intentional toxic agenda of mind manipulation.
This is not to say there isn’t an abundance of goodwill and celebration of humanity circulating the globe through social media. An abundance of goodwill far exceeds the alternative. However, as humans, we find what we’re looking for, in that we attract and relate to that which is the closest match to our chronic vibrational/thought offering. Thus, when we are individually and collectively fatigued, our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health is compromised, making us the victims, as well as the perpetrators, of toxic postings. The internet is just the internet; it doesn’t decide what is good, bad, right, or wrong. It just is. It is, however, the mindset of the user of the internet that must be held accountable for how it is navigated. Being indifferent, the internet can be a power tool for humanity or an inhumane assault weapon. We get to choose.
