Q: Why do so many people have a love/hate relationship with Facebook?

“You post personal information about yourself on Facebook...largely because everyone else is doing it. But by doing so, you reveal the parts of your life that you normally keep hidden from view. In doing so, you become vulnerable and most people are not comfortable with being vulnerable. There is a conflict between your desire to connect with others and your desire to avoid being so open...so vulnerable.

And the other side of it is that you interact with others and you look at their life through the lens of their public persona and it makes you instantly feel that you have been living short of your own potential. So now your desire to connect is in conflict with your sense of self-worth.

You are often blind to all these feelings of internal conflict and the social media experience brings them to the surface for you to look at.

The strong majority of your personal connections in life are karmic. The energy of Facebook reinforces these karmic connections. There are forces operating behind the scenes that go beyond software algorithms, that determine who and what shows up in your FB news feed, and when. New FB friend suggestions are karmic. That does not mean you necessarily shared a past lifetime together, but it does mean you share the same pattern in your energy field. Many friends of friends share the same karmic energy.

Your karmic connections are energetically designed to bring all sorts of things to your conscious awareness. This is magnified by social media, and all of this is what you step into every time you log on. You love feeling connected. You hate the internal conflict it brings to your awareness.”
