Social Media is Energetic Binding

Back when I was on Facebook, it felt like nothing but loose ends.  Besides being a data mining operation for the techno-order and corporations, the whole thing felt wrong to me.  

Conversations started that went nowhere, and just dangled unanswered, for example.  The strange "on show" quality about it, where all the world's a virtual stage with avatars as your public face.    

I wonder about all the entrancement happening with devices, and this waiting for responses.  I sense it's damaging to the psyche, to keep such an open border policy with the online life.  It's an energy leak to have porous borders of the psyche, and it fosters that sense of being part of "something," this virtual landscape.  

All of this feels very Neptunian, and very unreal.  It's part of the dream being woven, that's taking us further into the virtual and away from the real.  It keeps energetic cords active,  I find, and makes it harder to find that sanity that comes from being sanitized (cleansed) from the day's exchanges.

Instinctively, I've kept social media to a minimum, because I'm sensitive and just don't like how it makes me feel.  I've heard reports that social media makes people depressed and it's definitely a time-stealer, though I'm sure that depends on a person's nature.

It seems like there's this idea that everyone has to be on social media, and all this techno-engulfment is inevitable.  Though I've felt out of the loop at times, I've been able to dip into social media in small doses, and it's the right choice for me.
