It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Jiddu Krishnamurti
When we go online we often use the analogy that we are 'surfing' the net as we can only touch the surface of all the information that is stored on line. Surfing allows us to ride the waves of information that comes at us, lest we perish in the undertow that follows. This 'ocean' of information is created through a web of technology that makes it all happen.
Why is this analogy so important? In my book Graduating Life with Honours, I introduce the idea that there are three realms that we are dealing with here; fictional, physical and spiritual. While the fictional realm only resides within our own minds, it still exerts a tremendous amount of influence on our behaviours, decisions, actions and inaction in the physical realm. As such, the fictional constructs are brought to life through our own actions which can have a profound spiritual impact on us. We animate these ideas and act them out in our day to day activities. Whether that is done consciously or unconsciously is irrelevant. It is happening.
Through our creative genius, we are creating systems that have taken on a life of their own. The majority of those systems were built with the intent to make life easier. That has drawn billions of people to use these systems. However, some are being built to enslave and control people with the intent of sucking our energy. In the vast ocean that was created from the systems that we built, beasts are manifesting with the intent of feeding off of us. In the past people have been directly responsible for this behaviour. What is new in our experience is that the systems themselves will be doing this work instead of people. The systems are taking on a life of their own where the fictional realm is finding a way to manifest into the physical realm. In scripture, we are told that the beast rises up out of the sea.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, saw a beast rise up out of the sea - Revelations 13:1
What if the sea is the vast fictional, digital, virtual world that we created and it grew to a point where specific ideas manifested and came forth from the abyss of our own creations? What if the sea is the Internet and specific individuals are working hard to manifest these ideas? The Internet by itself is not inherently evil, but specific energies or ideas stored on line definitely are. Many AI tools bring functionality and convenience to our lives, but some don't. I suggested in my book that I viewed the beast of Revelations as a fictional construct. The fiction can manifest into the physical world through our own creative powers and abilities! If this is the case, then we must be VERY careful over the coming years as I do feel we are on the cusp of such a manifestation taking place.

Again, to be clear, the Internet is not evil, but some of the technologies being used are, especially when it comes to commerce, government issued identification, government run guaranteed basic income, government benefits, privileges, health care, policing, courts, etc. How can we tell the difference? The beast is given powers by Satan. What is his realm of influence that provides the power to be granted to the beast?
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. - Mat 4:8-10
The word 'kingdom' comes from the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileia) which means:
royal power, kingship, dominion, rule; not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom
In the third temptation of Christ we find out that Satan's domain is in regards to the right to rule, not the right to the land itself as that has always belonged to Creator. The fictional constructs that were created by Kings and Queens are the domain of Satan. In the past that was recorded on feudal pieces of paper with seals, ceremony and armies. However, it is no stretch to view the virtual worlds that we created online as being a very powerful extension of that feudal fictional realm. After all, physically all that exists is computer hardware that stores binary bits on hard drives and computer memory. That is the extent of the physical manifestations of the internet. However, the fictional realms that we created within those physical devices is amazing and far beyond the comprehension of any single individual on this planet.
Is it possible that a fictional entity could rise up out of this sea to cause us all a lot of problems? Is it possible that this fictional entity will use the technology to further the agenda of Satan, in an attempt to rule the world? How can we tell the difference between tools that we use to better ourselves or tools that the beast would use to enslave us?

Easy! If the tools are used by a centralized authority (kingdom), then they are being used for control, slavery and other evil plots that violate spirit. However, if the tools are used by individuals through a decentralized, distributed, open source model where the individuals are the authority under Spirit, then those are safer to use and there is less risk of being induced into slavery as a result.
When central banks and governments start issuing their own cryptocurrency, virtual residency, e-commerce, e-police, e-banking, e-courts, e-citizenship, guaranteed basic income, etc, we must take note and recognize that they are creating a feudal virtual digital world that will bypass and overlay the nations of the world as we currently known them. The idea of a one world government is not something that will be done through physical war, conflict and conquest, but rather will be created virtually in the fictional realm of our computer systems and rolled out to all areas of the planet under the guise of peace. People will sign up willingly to receive benefits and privileges of this new virtual reality that is manifesting. That is the bait and I will do everything in my power to refuse, avoid and expose that bait.
It is paramount that we recognize this fictional virtual feudal reality beast as it starts to manifest before our eyes. It will only exist within our computer systems that we built but can influence the world through us and the systems we created. It will start to control and dictate what we can or cannot do. We must not allow ourselves to be controlled by our own creations. We must retain our capacity to self-govern and command our own creations. Many will succumb as they are addicted to instant gratification and addicted to convenience.
When I worked with Ben Stewart to created the film UNGRIP, I never imagined that the internet systems that we create would be a part of the "grid". I find myself writing today to express my deep concern about the creation of virtual governments, citizenship, residency, governance, banking etc. and how critical it is that we resist using those systems or surrender our power and authority to them. Self-governance is mandatory as it allows us to be governed under Spirit rather than fictional constructs that have no spiritual guidance, or high ethical or moral values or standards.
Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence and other creations of our genius are wonderful tools and can help us build a new framework for prosperity, peace and freedom all across this planet. However, it is absolutely mandatory that we not surrender to the centralized authority who are rolling out these same technologies with the opposite goal in mind. We must be vigilant and diligent to ensure that we don't get caught up with fictional constructs that have evil intent.
The underlying foundation of freedom must be our own ability to govern ourselves. That means taking actions to disconnect ourselves from local, provincial or federal governments and ensuring we don't get caught up in any virtual forms of governance. I AM responsible for governing myself. I will not surrender that right, power or authority to some other individual or fictional construct. I AM responsible to ensure that I am forever vigilant so that I don't fall into the web that is being cast out in this virtual reality fictional construct we call the internet. So far Steem is safe and I don't currently see it being sucked into the realm of the beast. We can keep it free but it requires work on our part to ensure it stays that way.
However, if that changes I will be the first to bid you all good bye as I have no qualms about bailing the moment I feel that the freedom of this platform has been compromised. After all, this virtual reality is definitely out of sight of land, which could also be viewed as being at "sea", where the beast was said to come from. Whether I'm right or not, due diligence is required.
