Five Postulates of a Spiritual Vision for the Internet

1. In the Virtual World, There Is Only The Present
2. To Be ON the Internet Is Not To Be OF the Internet
3. Virtual Communion Can Lessen Isolation
4. We Must Re-Imagine the Sacraments in the Virtual World
5. We Must Transcend Obsolescence

The virtual world makes us disembodied and discarnate - we become angels.

Online, we are more than our bodies - we are all soul.

Rats! Mispronounced Ffynnon - again. I really need a mnemonic... How about, 'Huckleberry Finn, under the moonlit sky' - Finn-un - got it! 

...then I found this in 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'...

"As I lay there, I smoked my tobacco and looked into the sky - not a cloud was in it. The sky looks very deep when you lie down on your back in the moonlight"

...which got me thinking about this...

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh, dream maker
You heartbreaker
Wherever you're going, you're going my way

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

...Did you know Huck Finn faked his own death? Could it be the work of the Amelia Project?!

(How's that for polyfusion, Quel? ... Ok, don't answer that )

You can't force polyfusion

“Twenty-five hundred years of rational culture are in the process of dissolution. Age-old habits of conceptualization will not serve to train observation on the effects of the new man-made forms of energy. Since Plato, philosophers and scientists have attributed constant forms and patterns of action only to the world of ‘Nature.’ Both Plato and Aristotle, and their followers, as well as all the other schools of philosophy, have refused to recognize any patterns of energy arising from man-made technologies. Having invented ‘Nature’ as a world of rigorous order and repetition, they studied and observed only ‘natural’ forms as having power to shape and influence psyche and society. The world of man’s artifacts was considered neutral until the electric age. As the electric environment increasingly engulfed the old Greek ‘Nature,’ it became apparent that ‘Nature’ was a figure abstracted from a ground of existence that was far from ‘natural.’”

“Your faith is proclaimed all over the world”

(That footnote was interesting. Pax is nice, and Ares sounds just like I imagined 🙉)

Thanks, Ares 🦄

It was time to update my profile. I'm wearing my Wildfang tee from Daisy and holding a Peanuts pin Mom gave me that says 'SPEAK OUT!!' Both depict Lucy, who is loud, brash, bold, and can be a bit... sneaky 🏈 What's that got to do with me??

💐 Home Sweet Lodge! So nice to come back to a sparkling clean room (not a single cruffin crumb!) and fresh flowers. Thank you, Sam 😊

🙉 Apologies for yesterdays aural assault. On the other ear, if you want more 🫨🫨

🍃Daisy says: "LeaF is pronounced leaf, like the Folium leaf. I should've made a note - sorry!" ...she didn't tease me! 😧 I'd feel better if she called me a dodo 🦤

🍷 I asked Mr. Davies about the wine cellar. He said I was welcome to sample any bottle already open for tasting (he did emphasize sample 😅)

Ps. Do I use too many emojis? 🤔
