Knowledge Base of Thoughts on Meaning of the Internet and Technology GO

From the Growth Online Knowledge Base, we present our original thoughts on the meaning of the Internet (& Computer), & Technology. We begin by showing how the Internet is an Indicator of our own human evolution. We also indicate that the Internet is a complex form of organization reflecting the emergence of Mind in man. Next we indicate that the Internet is a subtle entity that gives us infinite knowledge defying space and time. We then explore the Infinite Potential of the Internet, and what we can do to support its development. Finally, we add various thought on the meaning of the emergence of technology.

On the Meaning & Purpose of the Internet: (please scroll)

Man has moved in the last 100 years or so, and especially recently, from the Vital stage of evolution, focused, on trade, commerce, exploration, expansion to the Mental stage. The Mental stage of social development is indicated by an increase in freedom, democracy, mental inquisitiveness, human fulfillment, and higher levels of organization. The Internet is a product of these forces and values. Internet is the sign of the ascendancy of Mind in man. It is also an indicator of the subtle organization of existence, mirroring something even vaster; the spiritual consciousness that links and unites every thing. The development of Internet is a natural expression and embodiment of the aspiration of modern society for unlimited and immediate access to information and unlimited means for individual creativity and self-expression. This aspiration has released a colossal energy that is by no means restricted to any single country or form of expression, but rather flows and overflows through every conceivable channel that will lend itself as an outlet. The Internet serves an evolutionary role as it brings people together through knowledge and collaboration. Such movements towards harmony, oneness, and unity are steps along the way towards our evolutionary and spiritual destiny. Internet is primarily and preeminently a new model and form of social organization with untold power to transform the way society functions. It is the creation of a vast organization without central authority or hierarchy. The Mental stage of the evolution of society is indicated by accelerating complexity of organization. The Internet is a yet more complex form of organization. Internet is a break from the old organizational model of society. It is a mental model, as opposed to the physical and vital models of organization that has dominated our existence for thousands of years. In that way it is a great change in social history and progress -- a harbinger of man's evolution to a higher mental functioning, which can extend further to our ultimate spiritual evolutionary possibility. The computer and Internet are tools of organization that gather force into powers of accomplishment. Using the subtle knowledge of the Internet gives an individual the knowledge of an expert; maybe even more than the professional expert.� Full, "subtle" knowledge gives an individual the knowledge of an expert; maybe even more than the professional expert.�The Internet offers full, subtle knowledge and information. [E.g. a web user trying to understand his health problems can know more through the Internet than the any doctor examining him.]

The Powers of Organization in Society
At first glance organization doesn't sound like a particularly interesting topic to dwell on. On closer evaluation, however, we will see that organization is at the heart of social development; it is, in fact, the fiber out of which development, including the Internet is spun. GO

The Limitations of Science & Technology
Science has created great results, but also equal levels of harm. For that reason the Truth of science must correspond to a conception of our whole of existence, which is not just sensory and mental. Only then science can avoid negative consequences. GO
