The Ultimate Watch Dog: God is Your Surveillance Camera

Unbeknownst to most people, technology and spirituality have more in common than what meets the eye. Although we cannot physically "see" the unforeseen world, it does not mean that it doesn't exist.

Like the ballet, one sees a group of ballerinas performing on stage, but does not see what happens behind the curtains.  

I believe the technical world utilizes the same concepts, structures and ideas as the spiritual world.

Whether one believes in it or not, AI surveillance watches us 24/7. Alexa, cameras, drones, satellites, some form of artificial intelligence, or machine, watches us all day, everyday. Personally, it freaks me out as I am an advocate for humans and the emotional experience (the same experience that our ancestors endured). 

"The concept of surveillance is ingrained in our beings. God was the original surveillance camera."

What is fascinating is that so many people believe in and put their faith in technology. And these same people are also fascinated by Marvel movies and Star Wars, which portray spirituality in the never-ending battle between the light and the dark. 

​Life is a  battle between the light and the dark in the individual and collective environment. In a past blog post, Sunspiration #78: Which Wolf Do You Feed Inside Your Head? The Light or the Dark?, we have the capabilities to feed various wolves inside our head. 

Even if one does not believe in God, one does not lose anything, besides faith, to believe in him. So what does this have to do with the light and the dark?

God knows exactly what is going on inside your head and your heart. 

God is like Santa Claus. In fact, if you believe in Krampus then you know Santa is God and Krampus is the devil. Our "silly" little, ancient "fairy tales" symbolize the light versus the dark. 

God is omnipresent. God knows when you've been naughty or nice. He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows when your heart has been broken and he knows what energy lies in your heart. Some people's hearts are filled with innocence and purity, and others have hearts as dark as night. Jealous, anger, vengeance, greed, hate - life on planet earth is not easy but God will keep sending you lessons until you finally get it or change. 

Proverbs 15:3  The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

Most people know what to do, but they don't know how to do it. The biggest challenge people have is to transfer the head knowledge to the heart application. Many people have the knowledge in their head but they just can't seem to acknowledge or act upon that wisdom that lies in their heart. 

They know God loves them, but they hate themselves (aka lack of self love). In their head they love their partner who left them, but their heart contains so much bitterness that they hope their ex "gets their karma."  

The reality of life is understanding how to live through love but learn how to navigate through the darkness. Life on this planet will never be a utopia. This planet is an incarnation of polar opposite energies. Right vs left. North and South, East and West. Love vs. hate.

We need to balance the head and the heart to live life without destroying others or destructing the planet. However, sometimes dipping into darkness is necessary. For example, anger is seen as something toxic and destructive. But anger also creates change. However, the analytical mind is not made to understand or believe in faith. The analytical mind is what has saved the human race as we've been biologically programmed to survive against dangerous people, situations, cultures and wars. 

Everything is a balancing act and God knows your intentions. It is why most Christians or people who  love God have pure intentions as they know God is watching them 24/7. They don't want to disappoint God, and will live their life with their best intentions.   Judgement or karma comes around when messing with other people's emotions or dabbling in unethical behavior.   

Our ancestors knew this truth. They lived a life in nature, gazing at the night sky, using the stars and the constellation as their road map. Now that we have Google maps, we are ignorant to the sky above because light pollution blocks our ability to "see" the heavens above. 

I see people moving into two directions. Some people continue to think the stuff of the past is stupid since we are so intellectual today, we must be smarter than our ancestors right? On the other end, there is an awakening and people are questioning what is happening in our world today. 

What do you think? Is God our ultimate surveillance camera?
