How Are You Connected?
People respond to this question in many ways. When I was growing up, there was no Internet and so there were no smart phones, email or Facebook. Since the proliferation of many information-based technologies, being connected to others is generally through electronic means. Being connected to others through these various information-based technologies means instant communication through Wi-Fi and other Internet-based communication systems. We’re even connected to satellites orbiting the Earth through our cell phones and our multi-media systems. Today in 2013, when somebody asks you how you are connected, it’s generally understood to be through some social media connection. Being able to participate in webinars and teleseminars with people from all over the country, or throughout the world is now done every day through our computers and smartphones. To me this is totally amazing and it’s through these electromagnetic fields of information and various frequencies that we are able to share all this information instantly. In the highly industrialized first world countries as well as emerging third world countries, this is becoming the social norm as accessibility to all of these various information-based technologies is spreading like wildfire. It is redefining the human experience and culture at large.

Gurus, yogis and spiritual masters began to emerge onto the American cultural scene.Read More »How Are You Connected?
