The scattered and opposing energetic influences we are experiencing at this time have many of us running around in circles in a desperate attempt to hold things together. Amid the chaos, our tendency can be to detach from our reality, and look for ways to escape the chaos -- but there is no escaping this energetic pattern. The alignments accompanying today's Full Moon in Capricorn are driving us to examine how we move from moment to moment, how we transcend our past experiences, and most importantly, how we assimilate our reality into manifest creation.

A leading autism researcher and physician was found dead last week in North Carolina under what many believe are questionable circumstances. Notably, Dr. Bradstreet’s death occurred shortly after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency raided his clinic.

The only difference between criminals who are protected by institutional veils and those who are not, is the extent of their influence, not their underlying psycho-pathology. With mounting evidence of organized pedophilia and child-trafficking networks implicating high-level government, church and charitable institutions, many informed members of the community are left wondering: Are the world's taxpayers unwittingly be used to fund organized crime? How do we bring criminals to justice if the criminals themselves control our justice and information systems?

It can seem as if you are in a twilight zone of sorts…a reality that is SO real but in fact is very separate from life in the physical world of people, human interaction and connection, shops with real-life shop windows, gourmet food, exercise, nature, human behaviour, deep soul-level emotions birthday parties, beaches and daily routines that anchor you in your specific corner of the world. It is called the internet. From my own personal experience and observations of friends, family members and colleagues over the years, here are 5 ways the internet can be seen as a drug. 

Note: This article is by no means meant to denounce the internet. As with most things, there are both light and dark sides to it. It aims to bring the reader’s attention to the pitfalls that exist around unmanaged internet usage and connectedness as a means of helping establish clearer, healthier boundaries with it.

So how can we turn the tide?
