The Computed Connection…

Posted on by serenitisparkles

Last night, in my dreams, I saw my late father. He found me in the woods, and as I ran to hug him, we shared a moment of deep connection. We talked about where he would go next, but there was no clear answer. Tears flowed, and we held each other tightly. Though I was sad and didn’t want him to leave, even in my subconscious, I understood he had to. His comforting words were, “At least I’m here now.”

I truly believe we were there—in that brief moment, our subconscious energies connected to a higher source, allowing my dad to see me as the grown person I’ve become. It made me wonder: isn’t everything connected?

Just like a computer plugs into a power outlet and energy flows, we too are all intertwined. The warmth of our love can be felt like a hug, even deep within our subconscious.

Consider AI for a moment. Data centers powered by electricity process vast amounts of information, and as billions of people interact with AI, the technology learns and grows faster than ever before. We are witnessing computers absorb human interaction at unprecedented speeds, edging closer to what some call Super Intelligence.

So why don’t we view our own human energy in the same light? The more energy—positive or negative—that we emit, the greater our collective influence on humanity and the world around us. Because energy can neither be created nor destroyed, I believe that when our physical bodies fade, the energy within us doesn’t vanish. It simply transforms. But where does it go? Perhaps it’s always here, waiting to be channeled. Maybe pieces of another person’s energy stay with us, embedded deep within our subconscious, allowing us to connect across time and space.

Why should the idea of my dad visiting me in my subconscious be dismissed as false? In reality, he was here once. Isn’t it possible his energy never truly left?

We live in a time clouded by technology, where computers often think for us, dulling our feelings and disconnecting us from our souls. Yet, emotions like love, hate, sadness, and joy remain incredibly powerful—more than we realize. We’re simply underutilizing that power.

So next time you’re with someone you love, hold them close. Take in every sight, sound, and scent that surrounds them. In that moment, you’ll catch a glimpse of the incredible energy we all share—a connection to each other and to something greater, all flowing from the same source.

The Influencer; The NEW type of Celebrity

Posted on by serenitisparkles

An Influencer is an individual who has the power to affect purchase decisions of others because of his/her authority, knowledge, position or relationship with his/her audience.

Social media has created a new kind of celebrity, the INFLUENCER.

In one of my past blogs, I wrote about getting 100% off if you are famous.  The Influencer knows all too well what that means.

There are people that make funny videos, do makeup, play video games on camera, that have gone “viral”.  These people aren’t necessarily extremely talented or skilled in any unique manner.  They do what we all do.  However, for one reason or another they have captured our attention.

Once they become an influencer, they have power to work the barter system.

Usually, one needs money to purchase products, attend shows, nightclubs, restaurants, etc.  The Influencer is able to use their influence to obtain all of these things, for FREE.

Why do they get so much free?  Easy.  Brands have become very calculated on knowing their demographic.  In fact, they know which influencers are followed by their demographic. They also know things like, what kind of music, what days they work, who their friends are etc.  There is an enormous amount of data that tells the brand everything they need to know on how to get the consumer’s attention.  Using an influencer, is the most economic way for a brand to get in your vision.  The greatest thing about influencers, is many don’t get paid from their promotion.  They get free things from the company, they promote those things, they create sales for the brand.  Even the Influencers that get paid for promotion are way less expensive than an actual Pop Star or Icon, and many times just as effective.  This is because influencers are people like, your next door neighbor, the lady who works for Macy’s, the couch potato.   Influencers have content that has gone viral, gained a substantial social media following, and are now able to capitalize off of everything they do once they reach their “influencer status”.

Some influencers have even turned that notoriety into multi million dollar companies.  These Influencers are definitely business savvy and had a plan.  They cashed in on their Influence and Power.

Either way, the Influencer is the new “Famous”.  It is what many young people aspire to be.

Media Mind Control

Posted on by serenitisparkles

 

def; noun Mind Control is a process where a group or individual uses methods to persuade others to change their basic beliefs and values.  

Imagine you are introduced to a new friend.  A friend that is so captivating, you can’t take your eyes off of them.  This friend becomes the best keeper of your deepest, darkest secrets. They become your counselor, constantly steering you.  

Now imagine that this person has become the ONLY one in the world who knows you, COMPLETELY.  But this friend, was not a friend. This friend was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This friend only wanted to profit off of everything they knew.  They wanted to sell your thoughts in order to control your next move. They had their own agenda. It was an agenda that if carried out, would end in you living every moment to maximize their profit.  

Most wouldn’t want a friend like this.  But we all HAVE this friend. Say Hello to MEDIA!

When I speak about media, I speak on it in a broad sense.  Media, in this instance, ranges from social media, streaming media(Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, etc), Search Engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), and any other platform that DIRECTS and MANAGES end users.  

The media’s primary goal is to get closer to each end user(us), in order to analyze our behaviors, collect data, create a profile unique to each user, and then sell who we are to drive up sales for anyone willing to pay for our information.  All of the media platforms are built to know as much information as possible about each individual. Things like;

 

  1.  What time are we most active online?
  2. What memes do we share?
  3. What restaurants do we eat at?
  4. Which articles do we read?
  5. How long did we watch that viral video?

 

The fact that every platform knows this information is disturbing, but what’s far worse and more dangerous is that they also know things like;

 

  1.  Who your family members are.
  2. Who are the closest people to you?
  3. That you were sick last week.
  4. Today, you celebrate the birth of your newborn.

There will be a time when few can resist the life the Media has painted for you.  Few will turn everything off, look inside themselves, and find what they want in life.  We ALL have the capability to think for ourselves, and create an image of the world as we see fit.  If you “follow” the media, there will come a day when you can no longer LEAD. If you are a leader, BE a Leader and shut everything off, create your own thought process.

 

Tech Savvy and Braindead

Posted on by serenitisparkles

If you were born after 1992, your life will be completely consumed by the technological world around you.  You will have at least one device on you at all times that connects you to an invisible world called THE INTERNET.  Instead of physical interaction with people on a daily basis, you will communicate alone with a device that holds your entire life in your hands.

If all you know about the world is being connected to what many elders would call, technology, how are you in control of the world around you.  For a moment observe your surroundings.  Look at the person next to you sitting a few feet away and watch as they glare into that device.  A device so powerful it drains all of our attention.  Try interacting with that person and watch as they are drawn back to their device.  Will you ever really cherish life’s precious moments, or will you be expending all of your energy into a mindless piece of humanity?  Look around you once more and pretend it is 50 years ago.

The same person sitting next to you would have no choice but to look up and transmit the energy we all need to morally survive.   Real physically energy between us as people is necessary for humanity to survive, yet we can’t help but be connected.   Watch as the internet desperately sucks in your energy by creating standards that are soulless.  The commercials on every site flying by at every moment, put forth by the same companies that strive for your addictive nature.

You are a generation of young people absorbed by a non-living entity that has found a way to trick you into believing it is a way of life.  Run by private executives, with personal goals and purpose, the internet  has found a way to take life’s most precious gift in your life.  TIME is all we are given.  Time to experience and enjoy the warmth of each other.

Try to remember in your young life the last time you sat down and spent a significant amount of time disconnected to the internet and connected to a loved one.   These moments won’t happen very much in your life, if at all.  Your memories as you grow old and near the end will be spent mostly with a “thing”.  You won’t even understand life without the internet.  And if the private entities that run that “thing” decide to shut down or turn off, will you be left BRAINDEAD?

Stalked By Digital Footprints

Posted on by serenitisparkles

 

Stalked by Digital.jpgImagine a world where blood sucking corporations were in constant pursuit of our trail. Imagine that the closer they could get to you, the more money they would make. Imagine they were able to place a GPS tracker, watch every move we make, and witness every conversation we had.  They can even predict our next move. WELCOME to the world of BIG DATA and DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS.

Across the world and concentrated heavily in the US, there are businesses set up solely to watch our movements and study our habits.  There are devices designed to ensure the precise collection of every mark we make in the digital world.  They are like stalkers lurking in the darkness, recording everything about our lives, to then hand over our personal information over to the highest bidder.

If we all believed that world existed, we would all be much more careful of leaving a digital footprint trail. The reality is that everyday, with every click of a button and stroke of a key, we are creating a lifetime of digital footprints. We are volunteering personal and private data along with giving up our right to privacy to exist in a more “convenient” world. In this digital world, the end user (us)  searches for the easiest way through.  The more convenient the internet becomes, the more invasive corporations are in our personal lives.

As a corporation, using data collectors, called aggregators results in a 200% increase in sales within a 6 month span.  It is like pure gold.  Collecting these digital footprints allows a corporation to specifically target each user.  The aggregators  collect strings of data from each website you visit, all of your personal information(name, age, gender, location,  your most common websites (and any other website you have visited), and your social media posts.    They are not only collecting your clicks, they are collecting your context.

THEY COLLECT LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE ONLINE. They have millions of digital files identifying your long path of digital footprints.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights offers everyone the “Right to Privacy”.  Unfortunately for the internet, there is very little control, if none, over privacy laws protecting our personal information.  Unlike tangible places in the world, the internet is global and there is no worldwide policy that addresses the right of digital citizens regarding their digital footprints.  So there it is  digital citizens, we are subject to a world where everything we do is being tracked by corporations and governments, with little control over what is done with our personal data.  We are being watched by people we don’t have any relationship with and our most private data is available to anyone with enough money to hire these collectors.  The internet is becoming more important in our daily existence and if we do not become educated about the moves we make in the digital world, all of our freedoms that we enjoy in the physical world will be at risk.

In the words of Plato, “Good people do not need laws to act responsibly,  while bad people will find a way around those laws.”

Next time you tweet, email, create a profile, or post a photo, remember that not everyone using this data has your best interest at heart.   We will all die one day, but within the internet, our digital footprints will LAST FOREVER.
