“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no-one sees you, but
sometimes I do, and
that sight becomes this art.”
― Rumi

Digital Omniscience

How does one cope with spirituality in a digital world? Religion as ever is overrated - hardly worth adhering to when madmen decide what God is telling his flock, but spirituality is a different matter altogether.

Maybe God is like the internet, we all 'know' it is out there, yet it is not tangible, but for those willing to access it, there are benefits (which may only be subjective).

If so, then one could extend the analogy further - surely it does not matter if one uses FireFox or IE, AOL or Virgin, Google or Altavista, Yahoo or Hotmail ...

... if used judiciously, it helps to tap into a higher plane of awareness.

But, just like the internet, there are dangers - not surprisingly, arising from the misdemeanors of Man than the imperfections of the Entity

And as with all things, caveat emptor when choosing between ploughshares and swords.
