Replacing the Reality of "Facts"

‘OMG - THIS is the power that we all have within us!’

The other day I read an article about powering future AI technology.

Apparently, the mega centers that power the AI machinery require A LOT of energy and water to run on.

The article was punctuated by a picture of a dried-out barren landscape and a comment that the AI centers use more water in a year than entire Texan cities do.

And it’s only going to get worse.

And there’s no way to stop it because the USA and every other country wants to be on the cutting edge of progress. That is the priority of government and corporations. Being careful about conserving our resources is not.

“Do we realize we are trading our human needs for the needs of the machine?” asked the author. On and on it went, driving a stake of despair deeper into my gut one threatening sentence after another.

I immediately felt many things.

Fear of being without water.

Intense anger that there were other people using our collective resources without the public’s input.

Disgust with humanity’s quest for power and progress without concern for the consequences.

The audacity of those in charge.

The injustice against those of us without a voice.

The fear of a bleak technocratic future.

The intense grief from the beauty of nature being stripped away from us forever.

The absolute worst feeling to surface was the sickening sense of having no control.

Knowing that others were making decisions for me without any regard to how they might affect me.

That kind of thing feels like imprisonment to me.

No freedom. No choice. No sovereignty at all.

Then to really nail myself inside my coffin of doom, I threw some extra stinky excrement onto the steaming heap:

How could I possibly think that by changing my consciousness, by increasing my awareness, by connecting with the Divine, or by embodying love was I going to do a damn thing to change the way the world is headed??

When studying the power of the human to alter the world through shifts in consciousness, am I putting my energy into a fantasy that is only going to disappoint, if not destroy me??

That’s it, when feeling despairing, stressed, and scared, be sure to eviscerate all the things that bring hope and joy to you!

OMG I was in a bleak state!

I immediately felt it all pass through my body and witnessed the downward spiral in my mind. It felt awful.

But then I shook myself awake and said: I probably have a choice here.

There is probably a different way to view this. Let’s see.

So I did some tapping (emotional freedom technique) naming all my fears, all the evidence that they were true, and why I felt justified in being so hopeless.

Then I brought in that if there is no wrongness and everything is possible, then this whole thing might be happening FOR me. Everything from reading the article to the actual drying up of all the water resources.

Next, I asked the most important question: If the world spiraling into oblivion was what I was seeing, why might I be creating that right now and what else could be created instead?

After I neutralized the majority of the frantic emotions with tapping, I oriented myself into the now.

I looked out the window and saw that everything looked fine in my PRESENT REALITY. There was my yard and my deck and the road in front of my house with a car on it.

There was no evidence of drought or AI supercenters or world destruction, i.e. the “reality” that I had created in my mind based off of someone else’s words and pictures on a computer screen.

Next, I expanded beyond the now by bringing in the following: if all things are possible, maybe it’s possible to live and thrive on this earth WITHOUT WATER.

Sure ‘water is life’. But maybe that’s an old way of being a physical human.

Maybe the Divine knows that we are upgrading our human DNA to thrive without as much water and there are other plans for the water. I mean there are people who survive on air alone - breatharians - so it’s possible.

So there’s no threat in allowing the water to be used for other non-life-supporting things.

I welcomed in all the things that I could not possibly know - all kinds of imagined new ways to live that Source might have in store for us. There may be a whole catalog of new physical realities that I can not even conceive of.

It was all in the realm of possibility and if I remained open to it, then it had just as much likelihood of being our newly-created reality as anything else.

As my mind worked through these steps, I actually became excited about the future!

I realized there was no harm in letting the technocrats do their thing because they had just shown me what else was possible, what even felt hopeful!

Through my own process I was able to transmute a very real fear into an expanded hope.

I was amazed and I felt powerful.

Then the realization hit ‘OMG THIS is the power that we all have within us!’

I don’t always understand how powerful we are designed to be, but this experience gave me some insight.

Since then, I haven’t had any more feelings of fear or hopelessness about the looming presence of AI.

Now that’s freedom!
