What is Happening and How Did We End Up Here? by Adeline Atlas
May 17, 2025
Have you noticed the shift? The world feels... dimmer. Society is losing its sparkle, and so many people seem discouraged, disconnected, and drained. Walk into any coffee shop, and you’ll see it. Heads bowed, eyes glued to their phones, the energy in the room stagnant. Where is the joy? Where is the life?
This isn’t just an observation—it’s a symptom of a larger issue.
We’ve Lost Our Connection
Somewhere along the way, we got lost. As a society, we’ve strayed far from our purpose and connection. We’ve broken apart our souls, fragmenting them into countless pieces scattered across the digital landscape.
We no longer truly know ourselves. We've forgotten who we are, and it’s time to remember. It’s time to reconnect with our divine purpose, our soul’s energy, and the light within us.
In today’s hyper-connected world, it’s ironic that we’ve become so disconnected. The more time we spend staring at screens and feeding our energy into endless distractions, the further we drift from our own inner light.
Where your attention goes, your energy flows. If all your focus is on the digital world, then your life force is being drained into something outside of you.
The Dulling of the World
The proof is everywhere: people walking down the street, heads down, faces void of expression. The joy and excitement that used to light up the world seem to have faded. The sparkle in people’s eyes is dimming.
But if you still have your sparkle, your light, it’s time to shine even brighter. The world needs it.
Finding Your Cardinal Direction
We’ve lost our way because we’ve lost our connection to our "cardinal direction"—our life’s purpose. The term “cardinal direction” is no coincidence. Its root, cardo in Latin, means "hinge" or "pivot," just like the heart (cardiac). Your heart and soul are the hinge points of your life, guiding you toward your true north.
When you feel lost, it’s because you’ve strayed from your path. But the good news is, you can always find your way back.
The Cost of Disconnection
Our addiction to technology has created a world of false connections. Hundreds of energy cords flow out from us to people, places, and screens, leaving no room for real connection to ourselves, to others, or to the divine.
We’re overloaded and overwhelmed, and we don’t leave any space for grace—the quiet moments where we can truly hear our soul’s whispers. Without this connection, we feel lost, adrift, and out of sync with our purpose.
The True Meaning of “Lost”
Let’s dig into the word “lost.” Historically, it was defined as "spiritually ruined, inaccessible to good influence." Today, it’s defined as “gone astray.” Both meanings point to the same truth: when you feel lost, it’s because you’ve lost your connection to spirit, to your soul.
You feel lost because, deep down, your soul knows there’s somewhere else you’re meant to be—something greater you’re meant to do.
How to Find Your Way Back
Reconnecting with your soul isn’t about finding something new—it’s about remembering what’s already within you. It’s about creating space for grace, aligning with your purpose, and listening to the guidance of your inner light.
Ask yourself:
- Where am I meant to be?
- What lights me up?
- What is my soul’s purpose?
When you start asking these questions, your path will begin to reveal itself.
