Contrary to consumer presures, individual humans must experience the trial of transition to mature. Transitions are many and constant, but there are a few classics which we all share due to universal experience. These are the transitions within the cosmogonic cycle, and are well documented by anthropologists and mythologists. I propose that we update these old customs to better align ourselves with the transition our planet is experiencing, thus putting the whole process on a single plain. I see the rise of the web as a natural phase in the maturity of Gaia.
Technology has rhyme and reason with nature, and it is beautifull.
This is not to deny the dangerous passage of birth. The best way to ensure harmony between the GB and Gaia is to develope harmony between human culture and Gaia. Spiritual symbolism and ritual can reinforce healthy practices, channeling our creativity to healthy ends. All is one.
