The internet is without a doubt one of the greatest creations of humanity. Through the internet, vital information can be accessed with ease, friends and family members can stay connected regardless of physical proximity, and donations can be made to charities and good causes with minimal effort. Thanks to the internet, anyone who doesn't know how to perform a task can watch a YouTube video for guidance, anyone with an unusual interest can find other people around the world with that same interest, and any budding entrepreneur who wishes to start their own business can do so from the comfort of their own home. But the internet has a dark side as well, and this dark side exists only because the anonymity and diminished accountability it provides to its users brings out the dark sides of their personalities. Many social media platforms are set up in a way that facilitates deindividuation. The result is that although the internet has the potential to increase the unity and harmony of humanity while celebrating its diversity, it all too often facilitates cyberbullying, sometimes on unprecedented scales. Before the age of the internet, human cruelty would often express itself through the phenomenon of stone-throwing. Now, in the age of the internet, virtual stones like insulting comments and memes can be mindlessly thrown with the click of a button. As a result, the cruelty expressed through the act of stone-throwing can be frequently reinforced within the personalities of the throwers. As the author has observed many times over the years, this is a phenomenon that happens even with people who consider themselves spiritual. In this book, Virgil encourages all users of the internet to uphold the values of their home spiritual traditions while online, and to remember the divine presence dwelling within any member of any forum, chatroom, or social media group. This book is an engaging read for
