I never thought I'd live in a world where I questioned:
- "What is Real?"
- "Is this an Illusion?"
- "When did Artificial Life become so Normal?
The last 10yrs, I've been a Professional Gardener, I've witnessed how Artificial Grass developed to the point that at times, you need to 'Touch It' to See and Feel if it was Real or Fake!
I watched how Natural Hardwoods were replaced by Modwoods, making Decking, Fencing and Construction materials easier to maintain.
I heard the heartbreaking news about youths taking their own lives due not being able to discern between Real meaningful conversations or Artificial Platforms / AI Chatbots!
We're all aware of the increased Health Issues reported by multiple Medical fields, be it Cardiovascular, Cancer, Diabetes, Obesity & the ever increasing Mental Health Concerns. I won't even beging to mention the issues experienced in Child Care, Disability or Aged Care.
I agree, there's definitely benefits to Artificial Materials.
- People don't need to Mow their Grass or Re;Stain / Oil their Decks and it certainly must help the global deforestation issues. And let's be honest .... Ai definitely helps write those proposals, create those reports etc -
all of which saves people TIME!
And TIME is - after all, One of Life's Greatest Commodities ....
But what about our Other Greatest Commodities ... Like
Our Health, Humour, Creation and Connection.
I wonder how often people consider how pointless it is to reclaim TIME ... only to surround themselves with endless items that deplete those other valued Commodities.
- Why is it, that in a World, where we have access to The Sun, The Sea, The Earth and Each-other, that evidence proves "People Feel less Connected" than ever?
- I'm curious - when was the last time you felt the Ground beneath your Bare Feet, wriggled your toes in the long grass?
- Appreciated the smell of freshly Cut Grass?
- or Smiled at yourself, as you recognised a job well done in re-staining the deck?
- Why is it that Smart phones / Technology appear to make People Dumber / Less Intelligent / Less Creative / Less Resourceful?
- Why with all our Human Advancements / Evolution - why are people needing to buy Grounding Sheets / Mats to connect to the Earth and Ground themselves.
- Why is the Food we Purchase lacking so much Nutrition?
I thought that over time ... with more Resources and Advancing Knowledge ..... that humanity improved?
- Got better Results? That we'd figure out better Systems. Systems that would Improve our Health, Increase the nutrition in our food, support our Community! Make our world abundant in Time, Resources and Abilities.
- When did we forget, How Powerful we are?? That we're Creators / Energy in Form and that as Electrical Beings we need to connect to Nature's Energy.
That we need to Connect and touch the Earth in order to regulate / release & protect from Short Circuits and Power Surges. That we need to offset all the electrical energy - Radio / TV / Microwaves / WiFi Electricy that surrounds / bombards us.
More than ever we need Balance!
Balance "what is Around Us" and "What is Within Us !!"
Pause for a moment, Take are Really Deep Breath, Slowly breath out, Open your eyes, and consider all the possibilities, Reconnect with your Nature, who you are and what makes you feel Nourished.
Make Smart Choices and go with the ideas that "feel right to you!
Be Brave! You've got nothing to loose!!
