The future of communication between people

Question from the Internet:

“How will socialization change as the world becomes more virtual and people lose the ability to connect in person?”

This is something we will have to adjust to. Actually, this present virtualization is only a transition toward a deeper, non-physical “socialization”, mutual integration we will experience on an emotional level.

While we are unique in Nature with our speaking ability, even this is only a very mundane, very limited form of communication, connection plagued by the different languages, dialects and accents even the best translation software cannot fully overcome.

We will have to learn and implement a much more effective, direct emotional communication in order to cope with the presently unfolding and inevitable total, mutual integration between people and nations.

And while such non-physical, emotional communication, “networking seems, might sound like science fiction or mysticism, it is not. We already have such abilities although we rarely use them, or even when we use them we do so unconsciously.

We all know, heard about mothers’ ability to sense when something happens to their children even if they live far away, similarly how tweens have a unique “internal connection” between them.

This unique, emotional, “internal” connection is based on the similarity of desires, emotions and goals and it also depends on a very deep, unique, loving connection between people.

It is this unique, deep “motherly love”, the overwhelming similarity of desires, emotions and goals that we have to develop — above and against the inherently egocentric, subjective and selfish separation, and misunderstanding between people.

If we purposefully, methodically learned, practically developed a similar loving connection between us — mothers and twins feel instinctively — we could also practically develop and sense that same “internal and emotional” connection and communication between us.

And then as we become conscious of it will be only a matter of further developing, strengthening it until it completely takes over any other form of communication which we will not need any longer.
