The web site proposes articles about how traditional
forms of religious expressions have shifted into alternative forms of
spirituality. The advent of post-modernism, particularly the incursion
of mass media, led to a displacement of some of the leading
protagonists in the realm of the sacred, instigating fragmented
spiritual experiences in the process.
With
the implantation of TV in people's living room, the media diverted
the power of the word away from the priestly order. It displaced the temple as
the center for the propagation of identity and solace. The preacher is no
longer the only medium between the sacred and the believer, the sole
provider of the good news.
In the beginning of the Net, the evangelists were responsible for the creation of subliminal inroads into ways of experiencing the cyberspace. With the new medium, spirituality morphed into devoted interactivism and virtual
commitments.
The fragmented self leaped onto the awesome omnipresence,
omniscience and all-seeing infinity of cyberspace.
The term myth
criticism was used by Northrop Frye in is landmark work Anatomy Of
Criticism. Although literary criticism is a useful tool, myth criticism
best captures some aspects of our field of research. And a good measure
of spiritual abreaction is also valuable. In the sense that some spiritual
concepts developed in course of history of religion must be reevaluated.
