It’s Getting Crowded on the 4D Bridge

4dJennifer Hoffman – I have noticed a big increase in trolling and negativity in the social media space lately, and while it’s distressing to see how vile some people can be, it is a distraction and another aspect of this ascension cycle. It’s getting crowded on the 4D bridge now, the pathway between 3D and 5D, and it represents a choice that we have to make. Do we stop our forward motion and resume our Martyred Healer roles, waiting for everyone to catch up or do we push forward and continue to create the 5D path that others will eventually follow?

Empaths, energy workers, healers, and people with spiritual inclinations are among the most compassionate, loving beings on earth. And this love and compassion can extend to wanting to help everyone, which is a good thing. Together with our belief that ascension is the path that everyone can, will, and should take, it creates confusion as to where our work should take us and what we are supposed to do on behalf of humanity. Do we stop what we’re doing and help others catch up when we see the crowd on the 4D bridge, or do we leave them to their choices and let them ‘suffer’ while we’re having fun in the 5D playground?

Monsanto and Others Caught Paying Internet ‘Trolls’ to Attack Activists

internetAnthony Gucciardi – Have you ever seen a post, comment, or reply that absolutely reeked of behind-the-scenes compensation by corporations like Monsanto? In the growing age of internet activism, and the expansion of social media as a tool to spread the word on real issues, paid internet trolling is becoming a new career path.

Now, in case you’re not familiar with what ‘trolling’ really is, I think Wikipedia has a great definition. According to Wikipedia, an internet troll is:

“…a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.“

Does this sound like some posts you’ve seen before? Now, let’s be clear: there are tons of internet trolls out there that are absolutely not on the pay roll. Most of these people are genuinely just messing with others to get a laugh, a reaction, or whatever. Not arguing on behalf of multi-billion dollar corporations for up to 8 hours per day.

There’s the real difference. And, besides common sense dictating that corporations would surely hire a fleet of internet warriors to protect their brand reputation in the age of open source online communication, we now know for sure that companies like Monsanto have in fact dedicated ‘entire departments’ to trolling scientists and ‘discrediting’ those who oppose their GMO creations.
