Privacy

What is privacy?

I used to have a secret clearance. It was an eye opening experience, since to have a secret clearance means to lose all forms of personal privacy to the government. I sat down before getting my secret clearance two decades ago to ponder this.

I realized privacy wasn't what people thought it meant. Since amazingly little of our life is truly private.

From the larger spiritual angle: think about this, if we are truly all one, part of the universe: then everything we do can be known by others.

It's more to the truth: we are ignored by others, as ego rushes about to play. This provides a shadow within which people find privacy.

But this is a side topic for later.


In this day and age: information is being interconnected, so deeply mined, controlled and then monetized (with draconian copyright law and marketing based on our habits) that it isn't very difficult to discover or unveil a person's life.

Ironically the only true privacy you have is your inner space:

How one finds and defines their own internal inner nature.

If you try to hide your information, that also shows up as a lack of data and ironically can also be mined to reveal great details about a person. So for "privacy sake" people still will wear public faces, create accounts that can get mined in order to protect your inner privacy.

The newer generation is getting this and changing the way they use the internet and project images of their nature. To have a public face , a private face and "an inner face".


So start here as you ponder your own privacy. Discover the only true privacy we have is based upon our inner self...

Yet so few people truly live as their inner self! The ultimate irony becomes: most people in following mass culture for their inner pleasure... lose their own personal inner identity.

Think about this:
What privacy does a person have, if they don't live to their own inner truth?

None...

Hence so many people already don't realize they have lost their privacy altogether today

Just by not living to their own life.



Namaste
