The internet is becoming a popular source for spiritual exploration, especially in the context of the breakdown of traditional institutions and the challenges of the pandemic era. This has led to the emergence of new spiritual beliefs and mythologies, often blending ancient traditions with contemporary internet references and remix culture. While some people’s cynicism might lead them to perceive this as absurd or ironic, it reflects a deep human need for meaning and purpose in an increasingly complex and fragmented world. The internet’s ability to derealise and dissociate also makes it an accessible portal for reaching religious ecstasy. Ultimately, this emerging paradigm of network spirituality represents a departure from the rigid certainties of the past and a bold exploration of new frontiers of the mind and spirit. And I am in the middle of it all, just a girl being online. I am just channelling. I am just a vessel. That’s all. I am just going seraphim mode.
