Community, In Real Life

Community, In Real Life

The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food. ~ Dean Ornish

I escaped growing up in the digital age. While I’m not a digital native, I’ve been steeped for decades in the culture of email, followed by rudimentary group chats, texting, and eventually sophisticated Internet communications.

I shudder to think how isolated I would feel now without electronic communication. True, there was always the telephone and letters sent by mail. But Internet communication has become more important to me than ever over the last several years, as in-town friendships have dwindled to near zero. 

*****

Why did humans invent and then run with non-physical-contact methods of maintaining community connections? Why do we now accept a hug emoticon in lieu of the in-person, thirty-second, warm body greeting or farewell?

It’s almost a bit…robotic to entrust little electronic blips we can’t even see to convey our humanness to each other. One could argue that it’s merely an inevitable progression of hundreds of years of written communication, then the telegraph, the telephone, the Internet.

I suspect our ancestors would view it askance. They might liken it to relying on a distant view of a crackling firepit, or a glimpse of the sun while traveling through dark forest, for heat. The firelight and the sunlight were certainly there. But from a distance, no one could feel the warmth.

*****

With most circumstances that feel skewed, I tend to lay blame with the dark planetary controllers. Disconnecting us from our near and dear ones was a prime tool in their Covid blitz. Lockdowns, six-feet-apart, masking; “sorry, you can’t be with your dying family member because it’s not ‘safe.’”

Because many of us were prevented from meeting in person, electronic meetings became the norm. Online classes probably ruined several years of life for school-age and college kids. The electronic meeting space was a stopgap, but it has made inroads into replacing in-person gatherings even when participants could meet in the flesh. Families text each other from another room in the house. Neighbors send texts instead of knocking on the door. 

*****

Perhaps I’m simply channeling my inner Luddite, but I’m not accepting electronic relationships as the overriding norm. I will go knock on my neighbor’s door instead of texting. Or pick up the (landline) phone and call a friend, rather than emailing or texting. 

If we have been steered toward this non-contact way of interacting by the dark controllers, I trust that new ways of connecting in real life are just around the corner. I imagine instant transport to visit a friend across the country will be as welcome as med beds to fix ailments and peace of mind from knowing many formerly hidden truths.


My notes: 
  • God the Source is unconditional love, not a zealous god of [some] dogmatic religions.
  • All articles are the responsibility of the respective authors.


Reminder discernment is recommended
from the heart, not from the mind
 
The Truth Within Us, Will Set Us Free. We Are ONE.
No Need of Dogmatic Religions, Political Parties, and Dogmatic Science, linked to a Dark Cabal that Divides to Reign.
Any investigation of a Genuine TRUTH will confirm IT. 
TRUTH need no protection.
 
Question: Why the (fanatics) Zionists are so afraid of any Holocaust investigations?
