“The central event of the twentieth century is the overthrow of matter. …The powers of the mind are everywhere ascendant over the brute force of things.”
-- George Gilder

Those of us who own computers and use the Internet periodically face challenges with spam, viruses, worms and crashes. When any of these events shows up, it’s easy to feel under attack and victimized by outside forces. But is this really what’s happening?

John and I remind ourselves, over and over again, that the source, the cause of everything lies in the spiritual realm, the field of consciousness. We might look at the physical realm as a total immersion movie that plays out issues in our subconscious to give us the opportunity to become conscious of them.

And so, with respect to computers and the Internet, we might reflect:

• On spam: What unsolicited junk do we allow to enter our minds and distract us from what’s important?
• On viruses: How does our own malicious thinking and behaviour sabotage our dreams, steal our joy and sap our vitality?
• On worms: How do we allow fear to worm its way into our lives and contaminate our pleasure of life?
• On computer crashes: How can we do ongoing basic maintenance to keep us healthy and strong?

Mass consciousness reflects all of our individual consciousnesses. The inner world creates the outer world. When we clean up our own systems, our changes will be reflected in the mirror that is life.
