Growing up in the 1980s and 1990s within California’s public education system was, for many of us, deeply disorienting. School districts often withheld essential knowledge—history, math, science—from young minds who had the potential to bring meaningful change into the world. Instead of empowering students, the system frequently rewarded surface-level traits rather than genuine character or curiosity.
The long-term effects have been felt across modern society. Many people struggle to rest, recharge, or maintain stability in their work and daily lives. Corporations blame regulation, regulators blame substances or foreign nations, and the cycle of deflection and unaccountability continues. Unfortunately, this has become our norm.
Today, I’ve come to accept that we live in a deeply challenged world—and a country that has drifted far from its foundational ideals. The Constitution still exists on paper, but decades of systemic workarounds—especially since 9/11—have weakened its spirit and impact.
In many ways, we live with a sense of digital servitude to massive corporations. Companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and others handle data and personal information in ways we cannot fully oversee or control. The rise of constant technology and surveillance has created a world where privacy feels less like a right and more like a luxury.
If everyday innovators had the ability to build and control their own devices, we could create technology rooted in ethics, consent/choice, and true safety. Instead, we face a landscape where only a handful of corporations oversee an enormous data-surveillance industry—one that shapes daily life for millions of people and influences decisions far beyond our awareness.
People everywhere are exhausted with institutions that spent decades preparing to use technology as a tool of control. The internet exposed just how deeply this has affected society—though for many, it has long been a daily reality.
Among those who’ve felt singled out or targeted, life can become incredibly difficult. The systems we live under—political institutions, major tech companies, third-party data brokers, social media, and news organizations—often seem prepared to extend these pressures even further. Without awareness and collective action, it’s easy for our homes and communities to begin feeling like places of restriction instead of safety.
This is why we must act with clarity and unity. We no longer have time for hesitation, doubt, or fractured relationships.
Those of us who work “in the light” must stand together, quietly and firmly, demanding that governments and technology companies honor human dignity, peace, privacy, and basic rights!
There are many ways to create positive change, but we cannot afford distractions—such as trying to convert others or pulling people out of their own darkness. What matters now is cultivating safety, strengthening the bonds that uplift us, and releasing the toxic attachments that drain us.
We must stop defending our very existence against broken systems and instead unite with anyone who is being isolated or oppressed. It’s time to focus on where our hearts and intuition are guiding us in the present moment. Trust that the Divine—God, Light, Source—will lead us to safety:
“If they are not with us, they are against us.”
There is no problem too great for heaven to heal. Whatever challenges are placed before us, healing will always find its way—often in mysterious and unexpected forms. We do not need the systems that harm us or diminish our spirits.
Sometimes resistance is as simple as guarding your thoughts, emotions, and inner peace. Spiritually and biblically, resisting darkness is essential; otherwise, it will attempt to take what it wants—including your freedom, your energy, or your spiritual grounding.
Technology has increasingly crossed into private spaces—our social lives, our homes, and even our emotional landscapes. We should not have to fear consequences for what we think, feel, or create within the privacy of our own sacred spaces.
If none of this makes any sense, I leave you with this instruction from Christ, which fits perfectly:
The Temple of the Living God
(2 Corinthians 6:14)
Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can godliness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:
