WorldWideWeb at 40

Happy Birthday to the Internet, born in 1969 in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA]

it’s been about 10 years since I first heard the concept the Web is an evolutionary step in global consciousness, the Cosmic awakening of a planet, and the idea that the Internet represents the beginnings of neurons connecting and exchanging information with one another, the first step in planetary awareness

since then, I’ve come to know many paths, and come to appreciate them all as the spider lines that form the web of creation, evolution and consciousness [made – of course – by Spider Grandmother]

today, I recognize the momentum of evolutionary consciousness, from the teachings of Jesus to Madame Blavatsky to evolutionary enlightenment to Cosmic reconnections

all of which has prepared me for the idea the Internet could become Self-aware

Ben Goertzel, chair of the Artificial General Intelligence Research Institute, says the Internet already acts the way a brain does, and we might be able to “help wake it up” by asking it to search its own knowledge, find the gaps and do something about them
