Dear forum members...

T.C. said:
The fact is that we are scattered around the globe and have to find the motivation to survive and apply ourselves in whatever real life circumstances we find ourselves in – possibly without many or even no one around us who is on the same path, surrounded mainly by A-influences. Will there be enough “holding power” for this group if the digital net goes down?

Okay, if we imagine worse case scenario where we're really all cut off from each other: in such a circumstance, if we've learned all we can from each other while we still can, and have a kind of collective conscience, then on our own, we'll still be trying to act in ways we would have when we were connected; we'll still be representing the same ideas of being. Also, back to, Man's Search for Meaning, in the book, one of the things that kept the author going through all his struggles was a kind of 'imaginary' contact with his wife, whom he didn't know if she was alive or where she was, but he felt a connection to her, talked to her, saw her in his mind.

If we all know we're all out there, doing our part, representing the same things, that could fill in as a new motivation. Even if we're not in contact, we can still carry on for the sake of each other.

I revisited this thread and the bold part gives me hope. I became teary reading it. My biggest fear is losing my connection with the group. I agree that we have made a nonphysical connection that will persist without technology as we know it, and perhaps even in future lives. I often mentally recite the thought, "I'm always with you."
