Hyperconnection vs true (Re)connection
Nowadays we live in a hyper-connected world. Most of us have thousands of contacts or “friends” through social media however people never felt so lonely. This is a new trend to share everything in real time like what we ate, what we wear, our mood… with half of the planet and many people become bulimic of this.
In addition, nothing can happen without being spread and disclosure almost immediately, the last event at the other part of the world is instantly transmitted through the media and social media: people feel the vocation to be a reporter by transmitting and being on the lookout for the spicy dispatch making the buzz, creating sensations. We are overwhelmed by some many information.
We have some many information and so many difficulties to select it and thereby to digest it. In 2018 3.8 billion use the internet that’s to say half of humanity. But the internet is it so human? As a kind reminder “internet” means “internetwork”
Does it mean we are truly connected?
It seems that the true connection is a bit different it might be:
A reconnection to yourself: to your 5 senses. It means you are awake about each sense: touching your keyboard when you type a message, feel the drops on your skin when you take a shower, hearing the dog of the neighbor… By doing this regularly it allows us to activate our 6th sense developing that’s to say the intuition, the link with the invisible world. Each single second our brain can only analyze 2,000 bites of information despite the fact in front of us there are 400 million. We only analyze a tiny visible part of the iceberg.
A reconnection to your higher self (your soul, your eternal part). It means to be closer to your deep self, your unconscious part which can be perceived as your own guidance a kind of GPS taking care of you and having a horizon for your inner path. The bridge to reach your higher self is your 6th sense (your third eye), it implies that we live things from inside, that in a certain way we “innerstand” life instead of understanding it
A reconnection to be grounded in the now-here: most of the time we are thinking about our past (old or recent memories) or we are planning our future and thereby we are in a kind of automatic behavior. The practice of mindfulness helps to be more anchored in the present moment which is a gift to be more aware of the subtle messages of the Great Book of life that we can decipher.
A reconnection to the nature: the 5 elements: the environment basically of nature, the rhythm of seasonality, earth, fire, water, and the 5th one which is called “ether” by the Greek philosophy, the “Qi” by the Chinese (relative to Qi Gong, Tai Qi), the “ki” for Japanese (linked to “Rei-Ki”) supposed to reconnect all elements of the universe. As Victor Hugo said wisely “how sad to think that nature talks and mankind does not listen”. Indeed nature plays a magnificent subtle symphony for those who can listen. Since Rene Descartes one separated the ego from the environment which is an illusion.
The 4 ways of deep reconnection allows to be more sensitive to synchronicities and to the fact “the Living” is not a metaphor but a state of mind: the point is to feel life vibrating through us and within us as the mystic Vedanta (Hindu Holy Scriptures) reveal it “find the place which is already yours in this cosmic breath”.
As our concern maybe this illusion of hyperconnection is the testify of the unconscious deep feeling and need to be reconnected to something higher The Source from which we have been separated at the birth. Carl Sagan said wisely: We are a way for the universe to know itself. Some part of our self knows where we come from. We aspire to return. And we can do it because the cosmos is also within us. We are made of stardust.
To that end maybe we should dust our vision and must look to our own backyard.
In Shambali we will guide you to find your own way to be truly connected to your higher self, grounded (down to earth) and also to be reconnected to the invisible world most harmoniously into this new true reconnection to never feel ALONE but ALL ONE.
