The Soul of Cyberspace

I agree with what you say in general, and in my own book, Chapter 4, entitled The Soul Emerges, i see the phenomonology of the online expereince as a potentially soulful one and explain the psychodynamic underpinnings for this emergence. However, this is a "general" concurrment and not a specific one, for unfortunately the vasteness of the unknown is soon twisted back into a shape to conform with the known, and few have the vision to tkae this opportunity to its full potential. In theory it is wonderful, in actuality, it seems quite regressive. Imagine the infant suckling the breast, staring vacuously as its fingers are in perpetual motion. Now imagine the cyberspacer, staring endlessly, fingers in motion, sucking up the external sensationalism. Build a model from this paralell and it would be real interesting...LOL
