I’m still in doubt about this particular summary about the developing digital existence, but I’ll go ahead and put this out as it will come.

——————————————-

We, in the physical, serve as the primary basis and core for the development of our digital selves, in almost the exact same way as the soul serves as the core and basis for one’s physical self. An increasing number of us “view” ourselves through our digital senses, as to the point that we, in the physical, find ourselves engaged into indetification with our digital embodiments far more willingly than with our physical, “bare-skin-blood-and-bones” selves (and let alone our spiritual selves….nobody likes or needs spirituality or religion anymore).

Thus, as with the physical lifetimes of any person being far shorter than that of his spiritual (or astral) self, I would expect that the digital lifetime of that same person is far shorter than his own physical lifetime (in between, of course, every birth and death). Since the soul (spiritual/astral) outlives the body, then it would make sense that that same body (physical) would outlive and outlast its own digital embodiment, probably more than once (hence reincarnation).

It is possible that, early in our physical existence, we in the physical were far closer, and related far more, to the spiritual plane than we do now. Even now, those who have just been born into the physical (i.e., small children, babies, etc.) often exhibit a far greater recognition of the spiritual/astral planes than their fellow humans who happen to be more ripened in physical age.

However, we have distanced ourselves from any particular recognition of sprituality, or the likenesses of spirituality known as “religions” (the ones which exist online are only carbon-copies, anyway), that its rare for one to tell these days if most people, particularly our generation, actually have souls within them (or, for that matter, within our very own selves as well). Thus, I’m certain that such a cycle will repeat itself on a digital-to-physical basis. By and by, we will become far more attuned to our digital embodiments than to our physical selves, to the point that, eventually, our digital selves will be the only things of which we will retain any conscious awareness, while our physical selves will become these gross, wasted abominations, the likes of which one can see already on most profile pictures on Myspace.

In light of the aforementioned, I surmise, I honestly wonder what our souls look like right now. I imagine that they look 10 times worse, lol.

But I guess its just as they put it: “That to which you give the greatest priority will yield the greatest promise.” Thus, as we are investing more and more every day and year into our digital selves, while giving less and less materiel to our physical selves (and even far less to our souls), it is going to show over time. Eventually, our physical selves are going to be invisible, intangible, incredible to our digital selves, and our souls will simply dwell in the background, existing as nothing more but a remnant of times long past.

I dunno…it just seems that time is going forth into this direction. Is it going to be bad or good? Depends upon which plane from which you may want to direct your persective.

Now, is this applying to all humans in the physical? I doubt it. Just as there are souls who don’t desire, or no longer desire, to move into the physical plane or construct their physical selves, so do, and will, exist those humans in the physical who will not desire, or will no longer desire, to move into the digital plane or construct their digital selves. In both cases, they will instead opt to the assumption of a “higher” status of existence or interaction, one that will only partake in the “lower” planes (either physical or digital) on a rare, token basis, the kind which we in the physical would classify as being either a miracle, a premonition, or an apparition of the ghostly, something-to-be-feared-and-worshipped type.

There are more than a few people I have come across, such as Kaijima Frostfang, who have done such already.

So thus, is death as much a big deal as we have long made it out to be? Is the afterlife (astral, spiritual or physical) as serious or dreaded as it has long been taken to be? What are we going to miss out on as we extend ourselves to yet another plane of existence, or what have we missed out on every time we’ve extended to each plane?

Maybe, sometimes, it would pay for us to go “offline” a bit in order to assess our other planes. Take that as you will.

More in another post, peace out.
