Dr.Giorgio De Martino:
My real preoccupations, concerning "dissident spirituality" and technology, are about manipulations and the marketing of spiritual insight - and human relations, obviously. When I suggested, to the group of people that met at Shancaracharia University end of april, about reading the article by Leeb ("Walking by thoughts") I had a specific purpose: going deeply in understanding how much we'll be affected by neurosciences tech, in our researches. I suggested to read the article because, in few years, it will be possible to connect millions of brains throught the Internet (in a trance-like state: ASC - altered states of consciousness), probably even in a "wi-fi" style, not so different from how mobile phones work. Shortly: and if all this will happen, like William Gibson ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson ) wrote, in the mid of the 80s, in his best-seller "Neuromancer", what will happen to our dissident spirituality? What kind of reactions will cause this cyberspace revolution? And our consciousness?
