As Above, So Below - God and Social Media

As Above, So Below

The digital age has more to teach us about God than you might think. We have created a "virtual world" which mirrors and creatively transcends this "real" material world. The possibilities are endless, as it is in God.
Social Media becomes a mode to connect, to network. The contemplative has already discovered that we are all connected, that the universe is a network of living matter, infused with a cloud of knowing which infuses every particle. Life surges within Life. Everything is connected. God is, which connects everything.
Humanity is intimately connected at the center of being. It is only on the surface of Life that we appear to exist separately, individually, an illusion to entertain the One who Is All. This idea may offend some and confuse others, but it is what it is. Yet, what a mind-blowing thought it is - the complexity of Being - creating, maintaining, renewing every particle of Life which forms the larger beings of the universe - from stars to sentient beings - from moment to moment - for an eternal day. This is God's Nirvana, God's Ecstatic Joy. This material universe, these material universes, these quantum material universes, are the virtual realities of God's digital world.
Social media is helping humanity to reconnect, to network again, after a period of time in which we have prized our individuality and uniqueness. But we are unique for one purpose - to excite each others' senses - to wonder at the individuality of life and the plethora of creative expression.
The wonders of this life teach us about God and Reality, if we have eyes to see and ears to hear. Computer technology and social media teach us about the reality of God, too. If you have ears to hear and eyes to see, your heart will understand - Everything really is --- Connected. Everything is One.
