Absorbing all our little bits of humanity through every post, comment and tweet. It's become our collective soul in a very real way.

We're not a terrible people. Strange, quirky, not without our bad spots (some really bad ones at that, but we are working at it bit by bit), but ultimately realizing how completely connected our whole truly is.

And we really love cats.

HAHA!...well, cyber space is so, well, space-y. The universe is space-y, God is everywhere, we are everywhere, the Internet is everywhere...

I think what I'm trying to connect here is that because all of our new communications are so invisible, it seems to blend itself into the ethereal molecular quantum reality of our NOW.

Maybe?

to me is that I find that discussions here contain information that feeds directly into what I happen to be working on at the time...what an amazing time we live in. It does feel like our machines allow us to communicate more in a virtual way, out of space and out of time--we are just souls communicating, we wouldn't recognize each other in the 3D world.

And we still give each other hugs!

You mention we still give each other hugs, but I have to admit that I am somehow more open and more willing to be vulnerable when I'm here online. I am able to come into this place and talk about a lot of life experiences and feelings that I've not been open about in much of my face to face life.

I think, in part, the virtual world provides a form of safe haven and an ability to explore subjects that maybe would be almost TOO intense in most social settings. I think that being here allows us to work past our fears and get to real a lot faster.

You're right about virtual discussions providing a more insulation--and it is interesting how people's basic intent can come across. A place that provides a kind environment feels safe to share more.

Yet on the main board and many other forums, there is a lot more chaos--being caused by interference of respectful discourse....to me it is immature to stoop to such tactics as disruption. Yet that is another result of how intention and focus can get derailed in a 'big room' or public place--and the world at large--when people are not kind to each other. In that case this same insulation makes people say things they may not say in a face to face discussion.

Here we really are, and here we really aren't!

No surprise that a Gemini created the new frontier of communication in the New Age.

I didn't know that!
