| 5 - Archangel Ariel "The Internet" 10 th May 1995 Good evening. Ariel with you. It's good to be with you again, it's been some time. I've come to talk to you this evening, because some of you are planning to go traveling... in order to take your Light out into the world at large. And we encourage that; that is great. But I also want you to understand that it is not necessary for all of you to do this. At the time of your completion of the twenty one day process we noticed, from some of you, a feeling that the only way that you could be of service was by going out and about. Well, that is a good way of being of service, we encourage that, as I say. But it is not the only way. There are many ways that your energy can journey outward. And I want to suggest to you that it is worth considering using the modern technologies available to you. We think that's a very good idea. The phenonomen that you call the Internet - that's a good thing. Yes, I like that. You can reach a few million people pretty quickly on the Internet. I think that's good. Mm. Better than the phone. Much quicker. So don't forget these things. They are of much use. We notice that you changed your little magazine and we see an evolvement there. We are not suggesting that you put out a colour supplement, might be a bit costly with the circulation that you have at present. But it's good to see that your awareness on communication is extending beyond what is being used at the moment. That is good. These are challenging times in which to take the Light outward, and it is appropriate to use whatever means you can find. Might as well make use of it - it's all there. Won't be there for long. Does anyone want to know anything about this communication aspect of your Earth mission? If you can elaborate on that, I'd be really interested to know in what context you're thinking the Internet can be used. Well, there are lots of people out there that subscribe to the Internet, and they don't know why. Maybe you can tell them. It's kind of like the latest buzz word and it's just starting to take off, all around the world. It seems like a good idea to 'surf the wave of success', as we might say. Before people get too much of an idea of what they perceive the Internet to be about, it might be a good opportunity to actually put something out there - stir them up a bit, prod a few into stirring from their unconscious state. The concept of the Internet, if you are not familiar with it, is that there are conferences going on all the time where people submit material that they feel is appropriate. When I last checked, there was some ascension information on the Internet already; not much, and only of one particular aspect. Wouldn't hurt to have some more in there. A bit of outrageous stuff wouldn't be too bad either. See if we can get people reacting a bit, you know. But that's not the only thing, of course. As you know, with the little magazine that some of you are contributing to - that would hardly have been possible a few years ago. So computers, whilst for most people are a distraction from their path, for you they can be part of the path, if you wish. It's just a matter of how you view the energy. How you view the intent of using such things... part of your Earth mission to use these tools. They won't be there for long. So, whether you use them to publish little magazines, or whether you use them to talk to other people, is up to you. You could use them to put out little hand bills, stick them up around the town, on the walls and things, but it doesn't get very far. I think there are a lot of people out there watching their computer screens hoping the Messiah will come and talk to them. (Chuckle.) Maybe not a messiah, but you could "freak them out" anyway. Mm. Yes, I think that'd be fun; and about time. I think your channel is interested in that area. One of the reasons I decided to have this little talk. (Chuckle) Is that machine, that records this stuff is that still going? Yes, it is. ...because he won't have much of a memory of this. Yes, it's still going. Do you feel that it will be harmful to put this out to people who won't be receptive to it, or won't those people hear the message anyway? Is it the right way to go about using shock tactics? Well, there are degrees of outrage aren't there. I mean, how often have we seen selective outrage from people? If you don't say anything, there will be people who will be outraged. If you say a lot, they will be outraged. The point is that those people would be outraged anyway. Perhaps I'm a little less patient than some of my colleagues here with you this evening. (Background noise of children begins.) I like the idea, too. It's just that, in the past, we have been told to be a bit careful about who we share some of this information with. I would like it to get to as many people as possible, too. I understand your concern. I think the thing with the Internet, the thing that makes it so appealing, is that it doesn't have a personal connotation. There is a degree of anonymity, so you can afford to say things that might "push people's buttons", as you say, and not have it push their buttons too much. It would be a little different if you were to go to a church meeting and say the same stuff. Then I would say to you that this would hardly be appropriate. But there are a lot of people out there and some will want to hear what you have to say. |
