Q: Is it possible to experience connection on Facebook?

"This question that you have asked. When it is finally encountered. The world will be a beautiful experience.

At this moment in time, Facebook is highly distorted. And therefore the three main elements of connection (honesty, vulnerability, shared experience) are not present. Connection becomes virtually impossible.

On Facebook, you only present what you want others to see about you. You are afraid to be yourself. You learned this in childhood...to be frightened of being who you fully are. Self expression was limited...even forbidden by your parents.

Nobody is honest. You post smiling photos of you with friends and family, when you feel completely different...when you know those relationships are toxic. Presenting an honest and undistorted version of yourself would allow others to connect with you.

To create a shared experience, there is a mutual relationship where a person's emotions are visible and shared in response to something someone else shares. You have so many online friends. People tend to come and go sporadically. Therefore meaningful emotional investment in what other people are sharing seems pointless."

Q: But there's something to be said for the enjoyment of having conversations with people who share your interests. That's better than being alone, isn't it?

"No it isn't.

All of this association without connection that goes on on Facebook is very strange to us.

You post an article.

But where are YOU?

You post a picture of yourself.

But where are YOU?

You like somebody's post.

But where are YOU?

Nobody can find you.

They don't know who you are.

They don't know what you think and feel about that article. They don't know why it's so important to you.

They don't know what you were thinking when you took that selfie.

They don't know what you feel about their post.

They don't know who you are.

How do you expect them to connect with you?

Without connection, your soul feels alone. Your heart desires connection but you settle for likes and emojis, because they make you feel less alone. That is why all this interacting online without connecting is no better than being alone. They are the same feeling."

Q: What should we know about human connection in order to complete the ascension process?

“You are starving for connection in your relationships with one another. You are surrounded by people but there is a Pandemic of loneliness. You spend time together but you are far apart. You know facts about each other and your lives, but you only scratch the surface. You mistake kindness, support, affection, proximity, politeness, and physical attraction, for connection.

What does it mean for two human beings to connect? You have no idea.

There are three main things required for connection. Vulnerability. Shared Experience. Honesty. If any one of these elements is missing in your relating, there will be disconnection. Human relationships are so dysfunctional because usually, at least one of these elements is largely absent. Sometimes, all of them are missing.

You and your partner sit together on the couch at night, and watch TV together. You hold hands. There is closeness. There is a shared activity. But there is no shared experience.

You talk with your friend on the phone about your summer vacation plans. Where you're going to stay, the activities you signed up for, what outfits you bought. You hang up. You just spent an hour with another human being and avoided being vulnerable. You managed not to reveal anything personal about yourself or how you felt about them.

You feel that your co-worker is not doing their fair share and the burden is falling on you, but you don't say anything to her. You are angry that your boss hired a new supervisor from outside the department instead of considering you for the job. You don't say anything to him. You spend 8 hours a day with these people, everyday, and there's no honesty. They never know what you really think about them.

These scenarios are a mirror. Allow yourself to sit with your own reflection.

It is impossible to have a relationship with another human being and experience connection if you are not willing to risk being vulnerable and only share the play-by-play details of your life. They will never be able to connect with you if they never know what you honestly think about them or other things in your life. If you do things together and you don't stop to ask them about their experience and connect it to your own experience in that moment, you might as well be doing it alone.”

Q: What if you're in a relationship with someone who is unable to be honest, vulnerable, or share in your experiences?

“There are people all over the world who come into this incarnation with a karmic blueprint that makes it impossible for them to connect with other human beings. It would be difficult to find a partner who has mastered all three of these elements. You have a choice whether to continue the connection. But taking a loving approach by allowing them to be in an environment with a partner who practices and demonstrates these things would be a beautiful service to offer, and would allow them to develop in these areas.”
