When I\u2019m connected\nlike that I don\u2019t even think a negative thought. It\u2019s just a feeling that\neverything is right and perfect. There\u2019s only one problem: it doesn\u2019t last. For\na few minutes here and there, sometimes even for several hours, but it goes\naway. The good feeling goes away because I have an insatiable desire to know\nthings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the desire to know things is a divine impulse, we\nlive in a duality. The desire to know takes me into the light, which then shines\nupon the darkness we live in, or the darkness in my own Akash or in my life. This\nis the nature of the duality. Paradoxically it seems, the search for truth, the\ndesire for peace, and embracing the light also exposes the opposite. These\ndivine impulses force a person to confront the darkness within. This is\nhappening on the world stage as well, where the collective consciousness of\nhumanity is confronting the demons it has created over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much darkness should a person confront? The answer to that lies in how much darkness is within you. Old souls will have more to confront, due to the greater number of previous lifetimes. Younger souls are probably in a better position to stay in the light because there isn\u2019t as much darkness within them; yet old souls have a much greater impulse to go to the light. My wife is an old soul but her self-proclaimed soul mission is \u201cto be a beacon of light.\u201d She does a great job of that even though she has to put up with me! My mission is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am like a lot of old souls: I am almost compelled to fulfill\nmy soul mission. Some of us are healers, health care practitioners, counselors.\nI have infinite respect for these people as they try, one person at a time, to\nraise health and consciousness. My mission is to investigate, to write about\nthe battle of dark and light, and how the light will win. I feel compelled to\nwrite books, articles, and to blog. However, I cannot take \u201csides.\u201d My mission\nis to provide a more balanced perspective, and not be raising the flag for this\nside or that. There is good and bad in everyone, including me. My idea is that\nit\u2019s better to be informed than to be ignorant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ascension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people involved in raising consciousness and going to\nthe light don\u2019t like the idea that each of us has a dark side, or that we\nshould look into dark subjects. Their response to me is, \u201cWhy write about that crap?\nStay positive.\u201d Well yeah. But we don\u2019t make it into the light until we walk\nthat path through the darkness we have created. If you\u2019re on the planet now,\nyou are responsible for some of it. Confronting the duality sucks, but it is a\nnecessary part of going to the light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, an article came out on July 2, 2019, about Eric Schmidt, of Alphabet\/Google fame. I am always cautious about linking to articles like this because some of the information is hard to confront, and some of it may be disinfo. But I\u2019ve been blogging about Big Tech recently and I think this is relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are positive and negative aspects to AI and social\nmedia organizations. We all know how these apps and programs allow us to\ncommunicate to each other all over the world, spreading the light. On the other\nside of the duality is the impulse to control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it better to know nothing about the other side of the duality, or to become aware of things that may affect your life? Vibrationally speaking the answer is obvious: stay away from the dark and only embrace the light. It is also possible, however, to stay in the light while engaging in the necessary process of confronting the dark. This is the best position, in my mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of your stance on this issue, the truth is that\nwe are all confronting the duality whether we like it or not! Resisting the\ndark only brings it more powerfully to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step in handling anything is gaining the ability to face it. Confronting the duality is a necessary, but sometimes painful, business. It\u2019s why many of us are here at the most important time in the history of the human race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google and Eric Schmidt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In that light, I am posting the article. You can make up your own mind about the information. Some people will probably find it ridiculous, or \u201cjust another baseless conspiracy theory.\u201d Because social media and digital communication is an intimate part of our lives, however, it behooves us to find out the motivations and intent behind the movers and shakers in Big Tech. Eric Schmidt (and Google) is of those guys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Lover Exposes Eric Schmidt  <a href=\"https:\/\/aim4truth.org\/2019\/07\/02\/former-lover-exposes-eric-schmidt\/\">https:\/\/aim4truth.org\/2019\/07\/02\/former-lover-exposes-eric-schmidt\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Related to this is a two-day boycott of social media by the\nco-founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/wikipedia-co-founder-plans-two-day-social-media-boycott-2019-07-03?mod=mw_latestnews\">https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/wikipedia-co-founder-plans-two-day-social-media-boycott-2019-07-03?mod=mw_latestnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it possible to be 100% positive all the time?
