Gnosticism

Because, you know, there's nothing tactile about the Internet really. It's just an eye-brain connection. The reason it feels active is because the nervous system is wandering wherever it will and the body is inert. There is an element of gnosticism to it. The Christian term is gnosticism. The Islamic is Sufism. The Jewish is Kabbalah. The Hindu would be transcendental meditation. For the Indians, it was a vision quest. But, the problem is that most of us don't use the Internet spiritually. Actually, the problem is that we don't experience anything in a spiritual manner. I would like more time to work on that problem out here in the world.
