A world aspiring for growth and development delineating a Crisp and Clear message: “Those who are curious and open accepting the change will move forwards & the future belongs to them”.

Meta verse is upon us soon it going to be Omnipresent, sooner getting us under its grip just like Instagram, Tiktok or Facebook. Meta world is the upcoming rising carrier option too. It’s going to be the Economics of tomorrow with high scopes in VR, AR, and MR that’s transforming the world across all industries.
In the meta world, you are you exist in a virtual reality headset, you feel like you’re sitting in a room with someone else who can see you, who can see all of your nonverbal gestures, and to who you can respond and mimic.
The way the hectic world is over us and is to bring us new immersive and imaginary worlds to educate children a segment of the population who spend time on the internet and are much curious it’s necessarily important. Today, as the metaverse infrastructure is still under construction, researchers, educators, and policymakers have a responsibility and a chance to lead the way rather than get caught in the undertow.
What’s happening in the meta world is it’s becoming the outlet for social media without gaming. The new metaverse is designed to support any type of social interaction, whether that’s hanging out with your friends or having a business meeting.

Of course, digital technologies also create connections in the real world, helping us find communities of interest and sometimes even love.
Yet the move toward digital-first relationships is a step change. What are its implications, how do we perceive and value relationships, how will it affect our well being and what new opportunities does this create?
The rapid digitization of our societies has led to a focus on privacy and security, defining user rights and ethical boundaries for companies.
Digital wellbeing is a point of great concern and also the responsibility of the companies.
Your well-being now is not about just your mental health anymore, it is about your digital health also. The world is concerned about privacy & security. Million went through trauma due to COVID, but then trauma taught the generation the coping mechanism, awareness of the adversities that became the opportunity to thrive.
It’s most significant in this era of the digital world is when the bombardment of information gives a perfect illusion people fail to discover when & how they turn from the master of mind to the slave of technology. They say whisper of genius echo of madness, they say love quickens all sense except common sense? Well, being mindful and quite aware of self to be safe is the key to being a happy and healthy mind in the Virtual world.
From personal to clusters to universal,
From finite to infinite, From diversity to unity,
From human to humane what is common?
Is the difference between the left & right embodiment of our brain.
To be sane to live a meaningful life with passion what is needed is balance,
a rule that applies also in the meta world,
for things change as they are discovered ‘n acceptance is strength in
the world of meta where consciousness is on the test.
Meta world where the distance is relatively equal from molecules to the moon is just an instance and people grooving making emotions the dark shadow silhouettes divulge delusions becomes the battlefield in meta.
What could be the food for the soul in a soulless environment?
Perhaps all begin and end with intentions and if you hit with a link of fake playing to checkmate you shall be detained to fall in the mental trauma well may be receiving some jerk on financial loss as well.

We place our most precious photographic memories in the hands of digital giants to protect for eternity. We’re already living in this virtual, shared space known as the metaverse. We experience love in a plethora of ways, ranging from relationships to hobbies to personal and spiritual fulfilment. Every type of love has a digital counterpart we can experience in the metaverse.
As we continue to spend more time on our phones, our computers, and soon on our AR/VR headsets to be part of the culture as we continue to digitize more of our daily lives. We must ask ourselves if Love, hate, right, wrong and deception are not the elements of the virtual world but in reality too. And so how does love in meta be alluded to?
It’s about the churning and how long it takes for the lotus of consciousness to bloom in life, well everything happens in it’s own time, one can’t force the sequence not even the algorithms and bots. Let me add: It’s not about in the parallel world but when you play along, your limit is your consciousness they limit and defines things. When you become conscientious ruling your mind you become a driver in The Meta world.
How can you pindown deception in the virtual world?
Be guided by your tenet, follow your ikigai, your Northstar.
follow your gut your truth your reality, your higher ideals for in a parallel world your consciousness and reality are never one. It’s so interesting the things we do, the way we justify them, and how perspective clears the jagged edges of our past to shape a smooth experiential memory.
It seems that “visionary” and “delusional” are twins. The difference is perspective visionary dares to turn the delusion into reality. The hit of the pandemic has disrupted the world and given new patterns to survive within the walls that are not just an option but a huge scope now. And to bring lives into the wall is to breathe & feel.
