Look at ME! Follow ME! Like ME!

Facebook ("look at me!") and Twitter ("follow me!") are a couple of the traps that have been set to snare the narcissist in men. Their aim is to shift man's focus from the wider, divine purpose to a tiny pinpoint of self-emphasis.

In Atlantean days, man moved from self-consciousness to self-focus to self-worship. It was considered almost a duty to have a bust or statue erected of one's self. Many of those who were present in the last days of Atlantis are here again today. They can be recognized by their intense self-focus and self-absorption. This was once most readily apparent in Hollywood stars and celebrities of all sorts. In the present day, the so-called common man is now having a go at a lower harmonic of the fame and recognition once reserved for "the beautiful people". Everyone from grandmothers to pre-teens are furiously 'updating their statuses' and 'friending' complete and total strangers.

These global social networks are the new "idols of reflection". They fulfill a blind, desperate need for many to confirm their existence via the responses of "others". Only through the interaction with other selves can these ones feel alive. Collecting new 'friends' as if the total number of such 'friends' serve to heighten one's personal status, is the pinnacle of foolishness. Asking people to "follow you" as you go about brushing your teeth or shopping (yet again) at the mall is literally a prime example of the blind leading the blind.

Just as in the days of old Atlantis, humans are making the mistake of thinking that their individual self is the most important entity in the universe. This is a folly that flies in the face of all that the Divine Plan is working towards. Those who continue to focus on this useless nonsense, this clever diversionary tactic of the dark forces, will only serve to attract to themselves hard and painful lessons, as they will continue to be taught - by whatever means necessary - that it is not the self that is important, it is what that self does in Service to other selves that ultimately determines one's true worth.
