Question: These days, several technological problems are progressing due to cyber risk and technological illiteracy in most people. With A.I. advancements, these problems continue to escalate. How can we strike a balance between necessary caution and paranoia-driven overprotection? Should we minimize sharing personal and family-related content, personal and family photos, videos on social media, or would it be more prudent to remain entirely anonymous online, given that today’s harmless data could have unforeseen consequences tomorrow?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Holland Conference.
Well, I wish I could give you a yes-or-no answer to a question like this. But you will recognize, I am sure, that given the current state of the earth, where so many people are trapped in the duality consciousness, always looking for an advantage, always looking to take advantage of other people, then there is no clear-cut answer.
You have to evaluate this individually, and what you can do is you can look at your attitude, your fears, and see if they come from a subconscious self. You mentioned the word “paranoia.” Well, paranoia always comes from subconscious selves that are overly cautious. If this is a problem you feel is relevant to you, then use the tools to get rid of this subconscious self. Then you can look at the problem more neutrally, and you can make a decision from a neutral state of mind, and it may be prudent for many people to remain anonymous. But for many others, you might say: “Well, so many people are sharing their information. What harm will it really do if it is not deeply personal information that could be used by anyone?” As this messenger has sometimes said: “What does it matter if there is some big brother that wants to monitor everything I do, and they will see that I spend most of my time in front of the computer, and I go to the grocery store twice a week, and I take a walk in nature every day? What harm could it do that someone knows this?”
You can find that neutral evaluation, and you can evaluate: “Well, do I get a sense of enjoyment out of sharing my photos with my family? And if they are not compromising photos in any way, what are people going to do with it?” I understand that there is always the possibility that someone will come up with some way to use information in malignant ways. But on the other hand, you also have to realize that governments are aware of this issue, and therefore, they will take appropriate measures to protect people. Can you protect yourself against anything? No. And if you feel it is important to be protected, then the only option really is to remain completely anonymous online. But as I said before, there will also come a point where it will be seen by many that it is necessary to create an entirely new section of the internet where you cannot remain anonymous, where you have to verify your identity before you can create an account. And therefore, you are only posting things on there that you are willing to take responsibility for.
And this means you can now create a place on the internet where real people can interact with real people, instead of interacting with people who are hiding behind a false identity, or even bots and robots and what have you.
I still, with all the dangers and risks associated [with being] online, still look at the internet as one of the major advancements in bringing the earth towards my golden age. Just imagine, if it had not been for the internet, how many of you would be sitting here today. How would you ever have found these teachings? You have to evaluate the risks carefully, but certainly I see the internet as a major advancement in manifesting the golden age.
