MKR,

>From the point of view of occultism, the internet can be seen as a 
huge step forward in humanity's development. Our current Kali Yuga,  
technological/intellectual cycle has almost destroyed us so far, as 
humanity has relentlessly used its talents for war and aggression, 
and selfish gain and corruption, with the resulting threastened 
destruction of our own habitat. But the revolution in electrical 
communication (using electricity, one of the 49 creative fires, 
however stepped down, of the Godhead) has provided us with the means 
to actully contact our brothers and sisters globally on a much larger 
scale than was ever before possible. It is almost as if we have 
invented a prelude or corollary to telepathic communication, a 
virtual mental stream of humanity. How we use this is of course 
according to our ability, but the potential is enormous, in terms of 
advancing the consciousness of the Unity of all Life.
