Beneath The Surface
I think that we can all agree that humanity has pretty much acclimated to the Virtual REALm. There are a few leftovers that are holding on for dear life to their “traditional” perspectives, thought processes, and mindsets. You know, those people who love to say “back in my day” and who refuses to adapt and adjust to the ever present changes in our new technological REALity? They are technophobes. And don’t get me wrong, there are some traditions that are amazing and will forever live in infamy, but it is dependent upon WHAT and WHOSE traditions we are talking about, some of them need to be discontinued. Some of them weren’t designed with people like me in mind.
Yesterday, I got to thinking about my social media experiences and how necessary and vital it is to know how to make QUALITY connections in the virtual world. Earth has been hijacked by technology. The Virtual REALm has reached critical mass and is now almost entirely superimposed over the Physical REALm. It is bleeding through into life as we know it and soon, this world we exist in will look and feel quite different. Survival of the fittest is no truer observation for these modern times. Change isn’t coming…change already here! We must learn to adapt or we will perish.
Unfortunately, some people are having trouble adapting to these new virtual REALities and do not have a clue about how to maneuver within them. Why though? You might be amazed at how often people inquire about how I do what I do in the ways that I do it; how I make quality connections with dope souls and produce a podcast with them that leaves a listener feeling as if these people and I have known each other our entire lives? People have asked me this so often that, if you haven’t noticed, I have started leaving a disclaimer in my introduction informs listeners that I do not KNOW these guests, that our connection was made online, and most of our interactions are solely in the virtual world (but that won’t always be true. There are several energies that if blessed with the opportunity, I would dive feet first at the chance to experience their energy in the flesh. Some of us are already planning to meet)!
Well, listen up!!! Because I’m gonna tell you exactly how I do what I do! It’s called….
AUTHENTICITY
You see, there is no “secret to success” story for my motion in the virtual world. I come as I am and simply present myself in the same way that I do in my physical REALity. And because light attracts light, it has made it almost seamless…effortless…to locate and connect with the other like-minded people, higher vibrational mindsets, and light bringers. When you have that kind of light energy…the purest and rarest form of it, your light is akin to a beacon that shines supernaturally bright in the darkness. Like a lighthouse that guides ships safely to harbor, your light will be visible in even the murkiest of conditions. But take note: DISCERNMENT is also the key to navigation in the virtual world and must be utilized before establishing connections. Like I said before, energy is everything! Energy cannot lie to you. You cannot dress it up, and you cannot fake it. What is in you is what is in you and what isn’t, well, it just isn’t. A person’s energy will ALWAYS bleed through when they are operating falsely. Even when they think that they have masked their innate energy signature from the world, it can never truly be hidden. It’s called your “TRUE COLORS!” And it is what it is…true…so you it would behoove you to trust what you know, feel, and see with your own EYE.
Discernment is my favorite gift. It will save your life. Literally. Discernment is powerful! It is so unfortunate that a lot of people don’t know about it. They either don’t know how to activate it, hone it, or use it. And they wonder why they are living a life full of toxicity and undesirable outcomes, but I digress…
If you don’t know how to be authentically you or how to move with organic and genuine purposes and/or use the free gift of discernment, then all of your social media and virtual experiences will stay as they are…irrelevant, superficial, and phony. To experience authentic and genuine interactions, connections, collaborations…the SUPPORT of dope souls in virtual spaces, have requirements that if unmet, will keep you from being able to make these type of connections.
I know so many people who don’t believe in the virtual world and could care less about what I’m sharing with you all. When the transmutation completely takes place in our physical world and it morphs into a permanent digital world, I wonder what those people are going to do? They may not like it but eventually, we are going to be working, connecting, playing, and living in virtual REALities. I mean think about it, are we not already? The physical world is not the same anymore when it comes to connections. Especially post Covid. People are making connections in the virtual world more and more and for various reasons, but if they don’t know how to swim in virtual waters, their social media experience and virtual REALity are never going to be good.
Once again, the purpose of my platform, outside of branding authenticity and being a beacon of light, is mainly focused on and primarily about connection. I see people interacting online and on social media platforms every day posting: good morning, good afternoon, goodnight, happy birthday, I’m proud of you, congratulations, I’m praying for you…and some even say, I love you! But is it really REAL love, care, concern, and celebration with these energies they engage with?
Let’s talk about it family…
The other night on my timeline I saw a post from a supporter who had recently passed away. I had an immediate reaction because who in the hell would be operating a deceased person’s social media and especially without a disclaimer?
So y’all know me…
I blatantly asked who was operating the page and to let us know because seeing that post on my timeline…was triggering. Do you know why it triggered me? Because when I went to go click on the post, I saw nothing but a sea of comments, reactions, and emojis from people who were unaware that she had transitioned!!! That’s so fucked up and one of the main reasons why my children know that when it is my turn to move on from here, I want my page shut down to commenting. I don’t want the fake love plastered all over a page that was created and purposefully made to build virtual connections. I don’t want phony people posting about how much they miss and love me; how they thought highly of me and my content. Meanwhile, in virtual REALity, they never even fucked with me, my content, or my platform like that if at all. But anything for engagement, right?
If you are a creator that is in professional mode, then you know exactly what “engagement” means, especially for those who are only interested in monetization. To me and the other like minds that crave to connect, we understand what true engagement is and appreciate it the most for its organic and raw interactions it breeds. I encourage you to look at your newsfeeds, timelines, and stories. Then look at your comments and notifications. Tell me how surface or how deep they go…Can these people email you? Direct message or video call you to talk about how awesome or how bad their day is going?
I don’t know about y’all but I do not have the energy nor the inclination to give thousands let alone double digit numbers of people and pages my time and energy. I can’t afford to have leaks in my energy field like that so I have to be cautious and particular about who I share myself with and how I share myself with them because energy vampires are real! Predatory energies are real! Just like in the physical world, snakes, vultures, hyenas, and shapeshifters exist. Maybe even more so in the virtual than the physical because of all the new and creative ways to manipulate and exploit, so it is vitally important that you know how to discern energy and intentions. Discernment will save your life! Discernment will stop you from doing things that have great potential to hurt you, harm you, and irrevocably change your life. And I don’t mean inconsequential and silly things. I’m talking about things like legacy, generational wisdom, but nobody is willing to go beneath the surface to see these things. The superficiality of it all is so… disgusting.
Aida was a true dope soul! She was my first official fan! This beautiful soul shared my content consistently on all her platforms, she listened to every single episode and left me feedback, and she participated in Spotify’s Q&A questions. Aida messaged me personally to tell me how this platform was helping her and that it was valuable to her. She kept me encouraged. When I got ready to drop this current chapter/season of MRU, she was one of the first people to know and get a link. I KNEW she appreciated me as a real living and breathing human being in the virtual world. Aida authentically supported me because she was a decent human being that was interested in higher vibrational content.
Getting the news of her passing via Facebook and then seeing these people all over her page and posts that that didn’t know that she passed away or who quite possibly commented on the announcement of her passing and then forgot all about it and are back commenting again as if she is alive…that that really got stuck in my tooth! Like a piece of chicken or a popcorn hull that compels you to remove it immediately, I had to check this out on principle. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t.
Come to find out, it was her mother operating the Facebook page and it could very well be that she did make an announcement about it, but I hadn’t been to Aida’s page since her passing and would not be aware if she did. I just knew in the moment that it didn’t make sense to me. I needed to know what was up, and because I took that initiative, it opened a door and invited me to take the opportunity to speak directly to Aida’s‘s mother.
I was blessed to be able to give her my sincerest condolences and tell her exactly who I knew her daughter to be in this virtual world. She was an amazing human being who blessed me in all the ways that matter…with authentic love and light! I apologized for the ugly and superficial aspects of social media that had people commenting as if her daughter was still here. I can’t imagine how that would make me feel as a mother who actually knew their child. It’s a sad world that we live in to have access to such technology that has the potential to connect us with millions of people from all over the Earth and we don’t take time to build and cultivate relationships with each other outside of these superficial surface connections and interactions. I’m blessed that I was made aware of a beautiful soul existing in another hemisphere…a world away from me…in a different time and place. I’ll never forget her.
So in a nutshell, if you want to have higher vibrational interactions in the virtual world and in your virtual REALities, then move authentically. Stay rooted in your purpose, whatever that is, and your tribe will find you and you will find your tribe. “Your vibe will attract your tribe” and that folks is just facts!!! When you bring nothing but yourself to the table, your don’t have to pretend. You don’t have to front. You don’t have to sit at tables that do not acknowledge and supervise you for you and really, you should not want! Yo to. I can’t fake anything. I don’t know how people do. It isn’t sustainable. Your true colors will eventually bleed through.
It has to be exhausting, living a life that is contrary to who you are on a molecular level. Do you know who you are? If you don’t, I implore you to find out immediately. Expeditiously. ASAP! When you are your unique self, you will attract people who like and appreciate you for who you are. Those are your people. Your tribe. I don’t need nor do I want everybody to like me. I’m not everybody. I am me. I am the original cookie with a unique identifier that can be imitated but never duplicated. So I can’t just fuck with anybody because I’m somebody!
I hope you choose to dig deep next time you enter these virtual spaces. I mean, you are here now reading my blog, so….no time like the present, right? Take this opportunity to really consider the energy you are wasting on people, places, and things in both the physical and virtual worlds; things that do not add to you but only subtract from you; things that do not not pour into you emotionally, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, and/or professionally in whatever way your spirit needs nourishment. If you are only feeding it nothing but negativity and toxicity, why are you always surprised when those very same things start manifesting your waking world?
I just wanted to leave you with these thoughts today. That post just hit home and really reinforced why I do what I do in the ways that I do them. Aida’s digital energy will never die and although she has passed on, her energy still found a way to touch me in the virtual world. That is amazing!
So…I can tell you how to do all of this and more but it is your energy that will speak for you and reflect itself in your REALities. The type of people that you choose to interact with, grow with, and build with are a direct reflection of you, your character, and your true colors.
Before I go, I want to mention Da Tunnel Radio. Below, you will find a link to their live show from a few days ago. If you decide to watch the replay, I can guarantee that not only will you get to witness what authentic loving and light filled interactions and collaborations look like in the virtual, you will also feel it. I promise that it is nothing but love and light over there with them! Can’t nobody tell me nothing about them and their platform because their energy speaks for them!!! What they are doing for underground music, the community, and the culture is nothing less than honest.
Until next time, be sure to drink your water. Water is life. Figuratively and literally.
Peace, love, and light ✨
